P-48: Nicotine Alters Both Somatic and Germ Cells in Adult Mouse Testis
Background: Nicotine as a toxic agent in cigarette has detrimental effects on reproduction. The aim of this study was to evaluate effects of of nicotine on germ and somatic cells in adult mouse testis. Materials and Methods: Male mice were divided into four groups. Group A or controls, groups of B, C and D were treated with nicotine intraperitoneally in doses of 0.1, 0.2 and 0.4 mg/100 g body w...
متن کاملfrom stem cells to germ cells and from germ cells to stem cells
germline and somatic stem cells are distinct types of stem cells that are dedicated to reproduction and somatic tissue regeneration, respectively. germline stem cells (gscs), which can self-renew and generate gametes, are unique stem cells in that they are solely dedicated to transmit genetic information from generation to generation. we developed a strategy for the establishment of germline st...
متن کاملIn Vitro Production of Germ Cells from Stem Cells: Hypes and Hopes
Several lines of evidence have reported that mouse ESCs can successfully differentiate into primordial germ cells (PGC) as well as into mature male and female gametes. Human ESCs and adult stem cells (ASCs) can also differentiate into PGCs. Differentiation of ESCs into germ cells of various stages seems to be a spontaneous and quick process, probably due to the nature of ESCs themselves and the...
متن کاملDifferential mitotic checkpoint protein requirements in somatic and germ cells.
Cdc20 (cell division cycle 20) and Cdh1 are the activating subunits of APC (anaphase-promoting complex), an E3-ubiquitin ligase that drives cells into anaphase by inducing degradation of cyclin B and the anaphase inhibitor securin. To prevent chromosome missegregation due to early degradation of cyclin B and securin, mitotic checkpoint protein complexes consisting of BubR1, Bub3 and Mad2 bind t...
متن کاملDNA replication licensing in somatic and germ cells.
The DNA replication (or origin) licensing system ensures precise duplication of the genome in each cell cycle and is a powerful regulator of cell proliferation in metazoa. Studies in yeast, Drosophila melanogaster and Xenopus laevis have characterised the molecular machinery that constitutes the licensing system, but it remains to be determined how this important evolutionary conserved pathway ...
