Gelatinase A secretion and its control in peritubular and Sertoli cell cultures: effects of hormones, second messengers and inducers of cytokine production.
TL;DR: It is concluded that both the amounts of gelatinase A produced, the levels of the corresponding mRNA and the regulation differ in cultured peritubular cells and Sertoli cells.

Cytokines derived from activated human mononuclear cells markedly stimulate transferrin secretion by cultured Sertoli cells.
TL;DR: It is concluded that the mixture of cytokines present in PBMC-CM is a more powerful stimulator of Sertoli cell transferrin secretion than any other agonist known at the present time.

Identification of IL-6 as one of the important cytokines responsible for the ability of mononuclear cells to stimulate Sertoli cell functions
TL;DR: IL-1beta, IL-6 and TNF-alpha display more than additive effects on Sertoli cell transferrin and cGMP secretion and that the combination of these cytokines may explain the major part of the effects observed with crude PBMC-CM.

Characterization of newly established testicular peritubular and prostatic stromal cell lines: potential use in the study of mesenchymal-epithelial interactions
E Hoeben,T Briers,H Vanderstichele,W De Smet,Walter Heyns,Ludo Deboel,F Vanderhoydonck,Guido Verhoeven +7 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the immortalized cell lines have retained several of the characteristics of primary cultures of peritubular and stromal cells and may be useful for further studies on mesenchymal-epithelial interactions in testis and prostate.

Mesenchymal entactin-1 (nidogen-1) is required for adhesion of peritubular cells of the rat testis in vitro.
Lutz Konrad,Martin Albrecht,Heiner Renneberg,William Ulrix,E Hoeben,Guido Verhoeven,Gerhard Aumüller +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that entactin-1 is exclusively produced and secreted by mesenchymal peritubular cells, and affects adhesion of peritUBular cells in an autocrine manner.
