In search of new paradigms for epididymal health and disease: innate immunity, inflammatory mediators, and steroid hormones

Abstract: The primary job of the epididymis is to mature and protect the luminally transiting spermatozoa. Mounting evidence is showing that innate immune components [including Toll‐like receptors (TLRs) and antimicrobial proteins, among which are β‐defensins] and inflammatory mediators, under the primary influence of androgens, participate in the cellular and molecular processes that define this tissue. Here, we present an overview of the contributions of these signaling pathway components during epididymal homeostasis… Show more

“…The testosterone synthesized by Leydig cells has been reported to suppress both the systemic and testicular immune responses to auto-antigens (Cutolo, 2009;Fijak et al, 2011;Avellar et al, 2019). Moreover, testosterone could act on SCs through the androgen receptor (AR) expressed on these cells.…”

“…Эндокринная регуляция функции яичек. Тестостерон, синтезируемый клетками Лейдига (КЛ), подавляет как системные, так и тестикулярные иммунные ответы на аутоантигены [6,7]. Более того, тестостерон может воздействовать на клетки Сертоли (КС) через рецептор андрогенов (АР), экспрессируемый на этих клетках.…”

“…Dentre essas condições clínicas destaca-se o TEPT, um dos transtornos psiquiátricos mais comumente diagnosticados, com taxa de prevalência variando entre 8% a 20% da população geral em vários países (KULKA et al al., 1990;KANG et al, 2003;TAPIELIAN et al, 2008;BRESSAN et al, 2009;GREENE et al, 2016). No Brasil, apesar de poucos estudos na área, há relatos de prevalência variando entre 6,5% até 20,5% dependendo da população analisada (CUNHA e BORGES, 2013;RIBEIRO et al, 2013;LUZ et al, 2016;SILVA et al, 2019).…”

“…A hipótese é de que essas células imunológicas estão em direta associação com células não imunológicas epididimárias via comunicação célula-célula, mantendo a homeostasia tecidual. Seus papéis específicos em condições fisiopatológicas, no entanto, estão começando a emergir (AVELLAR et al, 2019).…”
