Expression and Regulation of the Proenkephalin Gene in Rat Sertoli Cells
Open accessAbstract
Previous studies have shown that multiple forms of proenkephalin RNA are present in the rat and mouse testis that are cell type specific: a 1700-nucleotide transcript, unique to the testis, found in spermatogenic cells, and a 1450-nucleotide form of somatic cell origin. In the present studies, rat Sertoli cells are shown to contain the 1450-nucleotide form of proenkephalin RNA. The concentration of this transcript is quite low immediately after Sertoli cell isolation, but increases after 1 day in culture to a constant level. Proenkephalin RNA levels are stimulated severalfold by FSH and cAMP, but are not significantly affected by LH or testosterone. These studies demonstrate that Sertoli cells are at least one source of the somatic, 1450-nucleotide form of proenkephalin RNA in the rat testis. The expression of opioid peptide genes by Sertoli cells as well as by germ and Leydig cells is further evidence for the postulated autocrine or paracrine functions of these peptides in the testis.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
