"Meiotic sex chromosome inactivation (MSCI) during spermatogenesis is characterized by transcriptional silencing of genes on both the X and Y chromosomes in mid-to-late pachytene spermatocytes(1). MSCI is believed to result from meiotic silencing of unpaired DNA because the X and Y chromosomes remain largely unpaired throughout first meiotic prophase(2)," scientists in the United States report (see also Life Sciences).

"However, unlike X-chromosome inactivation in female embryonic cells, where 25-30% of X-linked structural genes have been reported to escape inactivation(3), previous microarray(4)- and RT-PCR5-based studies of expression of > 364 X-linked mRNA-encoding genes during spermatogenesis have failed to reveal any X-linked gene that escapes the silencing effects of MSCI in primary spermatocytes. Here we show that many X-linked miRNAs are transcribed and processed in pachytene spermatocytes," wrote R. Song and colleagues, University of Nevada, Medical Department.

The researchers concluded: "This unprecedented escape from MSCI by these X-linked miRNAs suggests that they may participate in ...
