reproductive system
N
• females produce offspring at a rate similar to that of wild-type females
• all epididymal sperm exhibit severe morphology defects that affect the entire flagellum
• epididymal sperm flagella frequently show splaying into multiple thin filaments along the full length of the principal piece or in certain regions; filaments show a variety of conformations, including coiled, looped, and tangled
• some epididymal sperm exhibit unusual structures perforated with thin filaments in place of their flagellum
• TEM analysis of testicular sperm shows flagellum components in a severe state of disarray within bodies of cytoplasm
• outer dense fibers (ODFs) are irregular in number and organization; moreover, ODFs show coiled and tangled arrangements in longitudinal sections
• split microtubule doublets are also observed
• TEM analysis of testicular sperm shows that axoneme organization is severely disrupted
• although doublet and singlet microtubules are still often found to associate with ODFs, their numbers and arrangement are variable
• large numbers of singlet microtubules, likely from the manchette, are frequently observed
• thickness and length of the midpiece is variable
• outer dense fibers (ODFs) are irregular in number and organization; moreover, ODFs show coiled and tangled arrangements in longitudinal sections
• although some mitochondria appear to localize to regions normally corresponding to the midpiece, many mitochondria are found throughout the cytoplasm
• fibrous sheath is disorganized and largely absent
• some sperm lack a flagellum
• both midpiece and principal piece are shortened, resulting in overall shorter flagella
• a subset of sperm display abnormal head morphologies ranging from mild to severe
• abnormally localized manchette microtubules are observed
• cauda epididymal sperm are immotile
• although sperm with abnormal flagella can be found in the lumen of seminiferous tubules, long flagella are noticeably absent from the lumen
• abnormal organization of all sperm flagellum components indicates a failure of sperm flagellum development during spermiogenesis
• however, major processes of the spermatogenic cycle and some spermiogenesis processes, including meiosis, acrosome development and nuclear condensation and elongation, appear normal
• 6-wk-old or older males fail to produce any offspring over 3 months of breeding with age-matched wild-type females
• however, mating behavior is normal
