Description
Abstract
The PI3K/AKT signaling pathway is one of
the most crucial regulatory mechanisms in animal cells,
which can mainly regulate proliferation, survival and
anti-apoptosis in cell lines. In the seminiferous
epithelium, most studies were concentrated on the role
of PI3K/AKT signaling in immature Sertoli cells (SCs)
and spermatogonia stem cells (SSCs). PI3K/AKT
signaling can facilitate the proliferation and antiapoptosis of immature Sertoli cells and spermatogenic
cells. Besides, in mature Sertoli cells, this pathway can
disintegrate the structure of the blood-testis barrier
(BTB) via regulatory protein synthesis and the
cytoskeleton of Sertoli cells. All of these effects can
directly and indirectly maintain and promote
spermatogenesis in male testis.
