With overlapping phenotypes and multiple genes involved, poor diagnostic yields are achieved for many of these conditions. The current DSD diagnostic regimen can be augmented by investigating transcriptome\/proteome in vivo, but it is hampered by the unavailability of affected gonadal tissue at the relevant developmental stage. We try to mitigate this limitation by reprogramming readily available skin tissue-derived dermal fibroblasts into Sertoli cells (SC), which could then be deployed for different diagnostic strategies. SCs form the target cell type of choice because they act like an organizing center of embryonic gonadal development and many DSD arise when these developmental processes go awry.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>We employed a computational predictive algorithm for cell conversions called Mogrify to predict the transcription factors (TFs) required for direct reprogramming of human dermal fibroblasts into SCs. We established trans-differentiation culture conditions where stable transgenic expression of these TFs was achieved in 46, XY adult dermal fibroblasts using lentiviral vectors. The resulting Sertoli like cells (SLCs) were validated for SC phenotype using several approaches.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>SLCs exhibited Sertoli-like morphological and cellular properties as revealed by morphometry and xCelligence cell behavior assays. They also showed Sertoli-specific expression of molecular markers such as SOX9, PTGDS, BMP4, or DMRT1 as revealed by IF imaging, RNAseq and qPCR. The SLC transcriptome shared about two thirds of its differentially expressed genes with a human adult SC transcriptome and expressed markers typical of embryonic SCs. Notably, SLCs lacked expression of most markers of other gonadal cell types such as Leydig, germ, peritubular myoid or granulosa cells.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The trans-differentiation method was applied to a variety of commercially available 46, XY fibroblasts derived from patients with DSD and to a 46, XX cell line. The DSD SLCs displayed altered levels of trans-differentiation in comparison to normal 46, XY-derived SLCs, thus showcasing the robustness of this new trans-differentiation model. Future applications could include using the SLCs to improve definitive diagnosis of DSD in patients with variants of unknown significance.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s13293-024-00599-y","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,22]],"date-time":"2024-03-22T09:02:32Z","timestamp":1711098152000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Reprograming skin fibroblasts into Sertoli cells: a patient-specific tool to understand effects of genetic variants on gonadal development"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Abhinav","family":"Parivesh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emmanu\u00e8le","family":"D\u00e9lot","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alejandra","family":"Reyes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Janelle","family":"Ryan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Surajit","family":"Bhattacharya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vincent","family":"Harley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5557-3709","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eric","family":"Vilain","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"599_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"554","DOI":"10.1136\/adc.2006.098319","volume":"91","author":"IA Hughes","year":"2006","unstructured":"Hughes IA, Houk C, Ahmed SF, Lee PA.
