HDAC3 functions as a SOX30 coactivator in testes. (A) 315 genes out of 364 downregulated genes upon Sox30 KO were also downregulated in Stra8-cre/Hdac3fl/– at the pachytene spermatocyte stage. (B) Among 722 downregulated genes in Sox30 KO at RS stage, 454 genes were also downregulated in Stra8-cre/Hdac3fl/–. (C) Gene ontology analysis of the co-target genes downregulated in both Sox30 KO and Stra8-cre/Hdac3fl/- at PS stage. (D) Genome browser tracks showing HDAC3 ChIP-seq and SOX30 ChIP-seq in wild-type and Sox30 KO testes at P20-P21. (E) Luciferase reporter assay showing HDAC3 co-activates the SOX30 transcriptional activity on the Nkapl promoter. (FG) H&E staining of testes from Sox30 KO mice at 8-week-old. Arrowheads indicate multinucleated cells, and arrows point to aberrant metaphase cells. (H) Summary model for the regulatory roles of SOX30/HDAC3 signaling during meiotic exit.
