Tissue expression and cellular or subcellular localization of AQPs have been poorly investigated in the male reproductive system of birds. We aimed to determine the distribution and localization of AQP5 and AQP7 proteins by immunocytochemistry in testicular tissues obtained from developing chicks (14, 21, 28, 35 and 42\u2009days old). Totally 175 male chicks (Ross\u00a0308) were used in the study from which testicular tissue was removed, fixed in 10% formaldehyde solution, then embedded in paraffin blocks. Five \u03bcm sections were cut, mounted on poly\u2010L\u2010lysine slides, dried in an oven, then dehydrated using standard immunohistochemistry staining protocol. The sections were imaged with a Nikon Eclipse 50i trinocular light microscope. Immunohistochemical evaluation of the immune reactivity of AQP5 revealed a positive immune reaction in spermatocytes and interstitial areas of the testes in 14\u2010day\u2010old chicks. Testicular tissue AQP5 immune reactivity was observed in the tubule and the interstitial regions of 21\u2010, 28\u2010, 35\u2010 and 42\u2010day\u2010old chicks. AQP7 immune reactions were determined in the tubule and interstitial areas testes of developing chicks' testis tissue, with increasing positivity corresponding to older age. The expression of AQP5 and AQP7 appears to be species\u2010specific due to differences in localization and expression in male chicks compared with studies of other mammals, which is likely to play an important role in regulating fluid and sperm volume. This research can serve as a base for future studies that will contribute to the understanding of the male genital system of AQPs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/ahe.12978","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,4]],"date-time":"2023-10-04T17:47:23Z","timestamp":1696441643000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Distributions and expressions of Aquaporin\u20105 and 7 in the testes of developing male chicks"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"53","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7678-6471","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"H\u00fclya","family":"Kara","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Veterinary Faculty, Department of Anatomy Atat\u00fcrk University  Erzurum Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1950-1708","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Deniz","family":"Tekiner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Veterinary Faculty, Department of Histology and Embryology Atat\u00fcrk University  Erzurum Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.mam.2012.04.003"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1006\/bbrc.2001.5810"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.abb.2019.108222"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.bbamem.2006.06.026"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00441\u2010008\u20100592\u2010x"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1006\/bbrc.2000.3505"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/humupd\/dml035"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-3-540-79885-9_13"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1006\/bbrc.1997.7219"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1254\/jphs.CRJ06007X"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3906\/vet\u20102002\u201039"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.anireprosci.2021.106735"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.12717\/DR.2022.26.2.59"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.17582\/journal.pjz\/20200915100910"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1071\/AN20687"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.88.24.11110"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1369\/jhc.2009.954057"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1074\/jbc.273.38.24737"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_20_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/rda.13082"}],"container-title":["Anatomia, Histologia, Embryologia"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/ahe.12978","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,22]],"date-time":"2024-01-22T11:50:23Z","timestamp":1705924223000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/ahe.12978"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,4]]},"references-count":19,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2024,1]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1111\/ahe.12978"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/ahe.12978","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0340-2096","1439-0264"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0340-2096","type":"print"},{"value":"1439-0264","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,4]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2023-02-24","order":0,"name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2023-09-10","order":1,"name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2023-10-04","order":2,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}],"article-number":"e12978"}}
