Abstract

Spermatogenesis requires both germ cells and testicular somatic cells, which are also involved in testicular development and male fertility. Sertoli cells are the only somatic cells in the seminiferous tubules and play very important roles in normal spermatogenesis. Abnormality of Sertoli cells in proliferation and adhesion may induce aberrant spermatogenesis and eventually cause infertility. Recently, various studies have demonstrated that miRNA are involved in the regulation of Sertoli cell proliferation and adhesion. Additionally, miRNA expression could be affected by hormone, endocrine interferon, and nutrition. In this review, we summarize miRNAs related to Sertoli cell proliferation and adhesion, which will be helpful for finding and identifying more miRNAs from Sertoli cells. The review will also provide theoretical basis for the pathogenesis of infertility associated with Sertoli cells.
