Using HASGE, neutral hyaluronidase activity (pH 7.0) was demonstrated in protein extracts from the epididymis, with testis and sperm serving as positive controls.
Due to the limited availability of fresh human tissue, only the caput epididymis was studied.
Our lab reported a significant increase of Spam1 in caudal mouse sperm compared to caput ones [ 10 ] . This finding led to the discovery that Spam1 is also expressed in all three regions of the mouse epididymis: epididymal Spam1 and its transcript were found in both wild-type and sperm-free mutant (germ cell-deficient) mice as well as in cultured epididymal epithelial cells, completely eliminating the possibility that the protein is merely being transported into the epididymis [ 11 12 ] . Expression was shown to be in the principal cells of the epididymal epithelium and to occur preferentially in the distal regions of the tract.
Western blot analysis also suggests that SPAM1 protein is expressed at higher levels in the distal regions of the epididymis, with the highest level of expression in the corpus, a region associated with a lower volume of sperm.
The tissues (testis, epididymis, and vas deferens) were obtained through the National Disease Research Interchange (NDRI; Philadelphia, PA) and were either snap frozen in liquid nitrogen or embedded in OCT or paraffin for sectioning.
