Knockdown of Dync1h1 or inactivation of dynein 1 by Ciliobrevin D in the testis in vivo perturbs spermatogenesis. Knockdown of Dync1h1 or the use of Ciliobrevin D to inactivate dynein 1 in the testis in vivo perturbs MT organization through changes in the spatial expression of EB1, perturbs F-actin organization, and perturbs distribution of adhesion protein complexes at the BTB, leading to a loss of BTB integrity. F-actin disorganization in the seminiferous epithelium following Dync1h1 knockdown or dynein 1 inactivation by Ciliobrevin D is mediated by changes in the spatiotemporal expression of actin regulatory proteins Arp3 and Eps8[3].
