spermatogonial stem cell transplantation and subsequent orchidopexy in the bilateral cryptorchid mouse model

چکیده

objective: testicular cell transplantation has been widely used to investigate the restoration of fertility in rodent models. in this research we apply transplantation as a treatment method in the cryptorchid model and compare this method with orchidopexy, which is the routine treatment for this problem. we studied the controversial effects of treatment on the number of germ cells and other morphometrical characteristics of testicular and epididymal parameters in cryptorchid mice. materials and methods: bilateral cryptorchidism was induced in immature mice by returning two testes to the abdominal cavity via a surgical procedure. respectively orchidopexy and transplantation of spermatogonial stem cells (were isolated from bilateral cryptorchid testes) with later orchidopexy was performed two and three months after heat exposure in separate cryptorchid mice. the weight of testes, spermatogenic cell numbers, as well as epididymal sperm parameters were measured at two and eight weeks after treatment. the results were analyzed by performing anova and tukey’s tests. results: our results showed that after orchidopexy, the testis remained atrophied and the number of spermatogonia returned to the near normal range, but spermatogenesis was recovered only partially at the stage of differentiated germ cells. after transplantation we observed significant changes in the stage of sperm formation compared to orchidopexy. conclusion: we demonstrated that the spermatogonia isolated from bilateral cryptorchid mice have the ability to regenerate spermatogenesis. also, while orchidopexy is a routine treatment for cryptorchidism, transplantation may thus prove to be a promising technique for the preservation of fertility for severely damaged cryptorchid testes that have scarce spermatogonia.

Combination of In Vivo Cryptorchid Testis and In Vitro Co- Culture System to Obtain High Purification and Proliferation of Mouse Spermatogonial Stem Cells

Background The present study was designed to evaluate the survival and proliferation of spermatogonial stem cells from cryptorchid mouse testis in co-culture system over a 3 weeks period. MaterialsAndMethods Sertoli and spermatogonial cells were isolated from bilateral cryptorchid mouse model testes. Isolated spermatogonial cells were co-cultured with Sertoli cells in minimal essential medium (...

Spermatogonial stem cell isolation, storage, and transplantation.

The past 30 years have been marked by unparalleled accomplishments in the medical treatment of malignancy. Prior to advances in chemotherapeutic and radiation treatment, many oncologic conditions had dismal survival rates. Today, medical interventions have success rates that approach complete remission for many malignancies. An inadvertent complication of these therapies, however, has been the ...

Spermatogonial Stem Cell Niche and Spermatogonial Stem Cell Transplantation in Zebrafish

BACKGROUND Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) are the foundation of spermatogenesis, and reside within a specific microenvironment in the testes called "niche" which regulates stem cell properties, such as, self-renewal, pluripotency, quiescence and their ability to differentiate. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Here, we introduce zebrafish as a new model for the study of SSCs in vertebrates. Us...

Advances in spermatogonial stem cell transplantation.

Spermatogonial stem cell transplantation was first reported by Ralph Brinster's laboratory in 1994. It has proven to be a technological breakthrough in the study of both stem cells and Sertoli cell-germ cell interactions. This technique can be used to transfer testicular stem cells successfully from one animal to another of the same species (referred to as syngeneic transplants) and sometimes t...
