The invention provides a model for studying testis
diminution, relates to the technical field of
biomedicine, and has the technical key points that Papd7 is a key
gene for testis growth and development of
male mice through specific experiments. Specifically, after Papd7 is knocked out in a mouse body, compared with a control mouse, the weight of a Papd7
deficient mouse is normally developed, testis can only be developed to half of the size, and correspondingly, the
sperm density and activity are only half of those of the control group; and the
sperm morphology of the defective mouse is abnormal. In mechanism, testis section
staining finds that the testis of the
knockout mouse become smaller due to the loss of
sperm cells in seminiferous tubules; disorder of various hormones is also one of important reasons. Experimental results show that the Papd7 is a key
gene for growth and development of the testis of the mouse, the growth defect of the testis of the mouse can be caused by damaging the function of the Papd7 in the mouse through a
CRISPR-Cas9 technology, and the Papd7 is a useful model for researching the testis reduction.
