Sperm maturation during passage through the epididymis depends on regionalized gene expression which maintains the progressively changing environment within the epididymal tubule. Towards defining the genes that drive the sequential maturation of spermatozoa, we profiled regionally regulated gene expression pattern in the epididymis of a fertile young male donor using Affymetrix human genome U133 plus 2.0 microarray representing approximately the whole human genome. Over 15000 transcripts, almost one-third of the total on the array were identified in whole epididymis. Among them, 65% were detected in all three regions of the epididymis, 410 or 2.6% were present only in one region and the remaining 32.4% were distributed in two regions. Region-specific transcripts observed in caput (264), corpus (61) and cauda (81) epididymides were further classified as empirically determined reported genes or ESTs. This study revealed for the first time, the expression in human epididymis of a number of region-specific genes. The original data will be made publicly available on the Shanghai Science and Technology Database (http://www.scbit.org/human_epididymis_transcriptomes).
