Objective: To investigate the effects of silencing the semenogelin 1 (SEMG1) protein on the cycle and apoptosis of the spermatogonia germ cell line (GC-1 spg).
Methods: SEMG1-specific siRNA was transfected into GC-1 spg cells by lipofectamine 2000 (the siRNA-SEMG1 group), the relative expression levels of the SEMG1 protein in the GC-1 spg cells of the siRNA-SEMG1, blank control and negative control groups were detected by Western blot, and the apoptosis and cycle of the cells in different groups were determined by flow cytometry.
Results: The expression of the SEMG1 protein in the GC-1 spg cells was dramatically decreased in the siRNA-SEMG1 group compared with those in the blank and negative control groups (1.
Objective: Recently, several studies have found that obesity had a protective effect against varicocele, but no meta-analysis has confirmed this finding. Therefore, we conducted this meta-analysis to investigate the association between body mass index (BMI) and varicocele.
Material And Methods: We searched for studies in PubMed, Science Direct and the Cochrane Library from inception until February 2018.
