I-5: Multicellular Human Testicular Organoid: A Novel 3D In Vitro Germ Cell and Testicular Toxicity Model
Background Background: Mammalian spermatogenesis is regulated through paracrine and endocrine activity, specific cell signaling, and local control mechanisms. These highly specific signaling interactions are effectively absent upon placing testicular cells into two-dimensional primary culture. The specific changes that occur between key cell types and involved spermatogenesis signaling pathways...
متن کاملIsolation of male germ stem cell-like cells from testicular tissue of non-obstructive azoospermic patients and differentiation into haploid male germ cells in vitro.
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to establish the culture conditions required to isolate, identify and expand male germ stem cell-like cells (GSC-LC) from the testicular tissue of patients with non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA). METHODS AND RESULTS Testicular tissues obtained from patients (two with maturation arrest (MA, n = 2) and Sertoli cell-only syndrome (SCOS, n = 11) were disso...
متن کاملExpression Analysis of RNA-Binding Motif Gene on Y Chromosome (RBMY) Protein Isoforms in Testis Tissue and a Testicular Germ Cell Cancer-Derived Cell Line (NT2)
a key factor in spermatogenesis and disorders associated with this protein have been recognized to be related to male infertility. Although it was suggested that this protein could have different functions during germ cell development, no studies have been conducted to uncover the mechanism of this potential function yet. Here, we analyzed the expression pattern of RBMY protein isoforms in test...
متن کاملTesticular Toxicity of Arsenic on Spermatogenesis in Fish
Arsenic (As), a well-known water pollutant, has been associated with various human health problems, however, studies pertaining to its reproductive toxicity on fish are very limited. In this study, we investigated the direct influence of As on fish spermatogenesis using Japanese eel (Anguilla japonica) in vitro testicular organ culture system. Eel testicular fragments were cultured in vitro wit...
متن کاملO-12: Clinical Grade Isolation and Cryopreservation of Human Testicular Cells
Background: More than a decade work in preservation of male fertility by spermatogonial stem cell (SSC) transplantation in animal models as well as new discoveries about the nature of human SSCs has prompted an investigation into the possibility of an effective clinicalgrade procedure for isolation and cryopreservation of human testicular cells. Materials and Methods: Clinical-grade reagents, v...
