OBJECTIVE: To study the expression of the mRNAs of transient receptor potential (TRP) gene subfamily TRPV and TRPM in rat testes. METHODS: Normal SD rat testes were collected and the expression of TRPV and TRPM mRNAs were detected by routine RT-PCR. RESULTS: The TRPV4, TRPV5, TRPV6, TRPM3, TRPM4 and TRPM8 mRNAs were detected in the rat testes, but the other members of TRPV and TRPM family were not detected. CONCLUSIONS: TRPV4, TRPV5, TRPV6, TRPM3, TRPM4 and TRPM8 are expressed in rat testes. This finding provides the basis for exploring the functions of TRPV and TRPM in the testes and the relation between testis diseases and the TRP family.
