چکیده
background: spermatogonial stem cells (sscs), a subset of undifferentiated type a spermatogonia, are the foundation of complex process of spermatogenesis and could be propagated in vitro culture conditions for long time for germ cell transplantation and fertility preservation. objective: the aim of this study was in vitro propagation of human spermatogonial stem cells (sscs) and improvement of presence of human germ stem cells (hgscs) were assessed by specific markers pou domain, class 5, transcription factor 1 (pou5f1), also known as octamer-binding transcription factor 4 (oct-4) and plzf (promyelocytic leukaemia zinc finger protein). materials and methods: human testicular cells were isolated by enzymatic digestion (collagenase iv and trypsin). germ cells were cultured in stem-pro 34 media supplemented by growth factors such as glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor, basic fibroblast growth factor, epidermal growth factor and leukemia inhibitory factor to support self-renewal divisions. germline stem cell clusters were passaged and expanded every week. immunofluorecent study was accomplished by anti-oct4 antibody through the culture. the spermatogonial stem cells genes expression, plzf, was studied in testis tissue and germ stem cells entire the culture. results: hgscs clusters from a brain dead patient developed in testicular cell culture and then cultured and propagated up to 6 weeks. during the culture oct4 were a specific marker for identification of hgscs in testis tissue. expression of plzf was applied on rna level in germ stem cells. conclusion: hgscs indicated by sscs specific marker can be cultured and propagated for long-term in vitro conditions.

متن کاملIsolation and long-term culture of neural stem cells from chondrostei fish Acipenser persicus
In the present study, an in vitro brain cell culture was developed from Persian sturgeon (Acipenser persicus). The tissues from anterior, middle and posterior regions of the brain were dissected, dispersed and cultivated separately in DMEM/F12 medium supplemented with 15% fetal bovine serum, antibiotic and antimycotic. The medium was changed every 3 days. The cells became confluent after about ...

متن کاملLong-term culture of lymphohematopoietic stem cells.
Pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells (PHSCs) show self-renewal and give rise to all blood cell types. The extremely low number of these cells in primary hematopoietic organs and the lack of culture systems that support proliferation of undifferentiated PHSCs have precluded the study of both the biology of these cells and their clinical application. We describe here cell lines and clones derived...
متن کاملCo-culture of Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells with Sertoli Cells Promote in vitro Generation of Germ Cells
Objective(s): Sertoli cells support in vivo germ cell production; but, its exact mechanism has not been well understood. The present study was designed to analyze the effect of Sertoli cells in differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) to germ cells. Materials and Methods: A fusion construct composed of a Stra8 gene promoter and the coding region of enhanced green fluorescence p...
متن کاملBmi1 expression in long-term germ stem cells
Asingle cells in undifferentiated spermatogonia are considered to be the most primitive forms of germ stem cells (GSCs). Although GFRα1 is thought to be a marker of Asingle cells, we found that Bmi1(High) is more specific than GFRα1 for Asingle cells. Bmi1(High) expression in Asingle cells is correlated with seminiferous stages, and its expression was followed by the proliferative stage of Asin...
