Millipore primary antibodies against timp1, timp2, timp3, timp4
Levels of testicular TIMPs and MPs in response to MEHP exposure by Western blot analysis. Whole-testis homogenates from 28-day-old C57BL/6J mice and total protein from primary Sertoli cell-germ cell cocultures exposed to MEHP (1 g/kg) are examined, and the quantified relative protein levels are shown as column charts. TIMP1, <t>TIMP2,</t> TIMP3, and TIMP4 protein levels (A) and MMP2, MMP9, ADAM10, and ADAM17 protein levels (B) are determined in vivo. After MEHP exposure, TIMP1 and TIMP2 levels are decreased, and MMP2 levels are increased for a short period. C) MMP2 and TIMP2 protein levels in primary coculture cells are analyzed. TIMP2 expression is observed only in primary Sertoli cells and is significantly decreased after MEHP (200 μM) exposure. GC, germ cells; SC, Sertoli cells. ACTB served as the loading control. Asterisks denote significant differences between the treatment and the control (* P < 0.05, Student t-test).

A proposed working model of the complex Sertoli cell-germ cell interaction describing the mechanism by which Sertoli cells trigger germ cell apoptosis following MEHP-induced Sertoli cell injury. First, MEHP-induced decreases in TIMP2 expression in Sertoli cells allow for the increased activation of MMP2. Active MMP2 can then cleave membrane-bound TNFA produced by germ cells to generate the soluble active form of TNFA. The binding of sTNFA with Sertoli cell TNFRSF1A triggers the NFKB1 signaling pathway and robustly induces FASL expression. An increase in Sertoli cell FASL allows for the instigation of germ cell apoptosis by the classic death receptor pathway.
