Duplication of Mmu16 chromosome (an orthologue of Hsa21, bearing Dyrk1A) in Dp(16)1Yey mice is responsible for impaired spermatogenesis through spermatogonial depletion and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Abstract<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Down syndrome (DS), or trisomy 21, is the most common chromosomal disorder in humans. Men with DS are infertile. The DYRK1A gene on Hsa21 is involved in several features of DS. Overexpression of the homolog dyrk1A disrupts primordial germ cell migration in zebrafish, and overexpression of Dyrk1A impairs gonadotropic axis function and the early stages of spermatogenesis in the mouse. Other genes on Hsa21 might be involved in the pathogenesis of infertility in DS. We investigated the Dp(16)1Yey mouse model of DS, which features segmental duplication of chromosome Mmu16 (orthologous to a large part of Hsa21 and carrying Dyrk1A and 112 other genes). Using an immunohistochemical assay for the spermatogonial marker STRA8, we observed spermatogonial depletion in the Dp(16)1Yey mouse. This was correlated with low mRNA expression of GFR\u03b11 (a marker of the self-renewal stem cell pool) in an RT-qPCR assay and low protein expression of PLZF (a marker of differentiating stem cells) in a slot-blot assay. Spermatogenesis was present but impaired, with a low sperm count, low protamine-1 expression, a low testis weight, and a low seminiferous tubule diameter. Low circulating luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone levels and an elevated testis anti-M\u00fcllerian hormone level (as measured in ELISAs) revealed the presence of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. The Dp(16)1Yey mouse model of DS recapitulates observations made in zebrafish and mice overexpressing DYRK1A homologs. The presence of an excess of Mmu16 material perturbs spermatogenesis and the gonadotropic axis. More generally, DYRK1A\u2019s role in human infertility (outside DS) remains to be characterized.<\/jats:p>\n
