Efficient derivation of extraembryonic endoderm stem cell lines from mouse postimplantation embryos
نویسندگان
چکیده
Various types of stem cell lines have been derived from preimplantation or postimplantation mouse embryos: embryonic stem cell lines, epiblast stem cell lines, and trophoblast stem cell lines. It is not known if extraembryonic endoderm stem (XEN) cell lines can be derived from postimplantation mouse embryos. Here, we report the derivation of 77 XEN cell lines from 85 postimplantation embryos at embryonic day E5.5 or E6.5, in parallel to the derivation of 41 XEN lines from 69 preimplantation embryos at the blastocyst stage. We attain a success rate of 100% of XEN cell line derivation with our E5.5 whole-embryo and E6.5 disaggregated-embryo methods. Immunofluorescence and NanoString gene expression analyses indicate that the XEN cell lines that we derived from postimplantation embryos (post-XEN) are very similar to the XEN cell lines that we derived from preimplantation embryos (pre-XEN) using a conventional method. After injection into blastocysts, post-XEN cells contribute to extraembryonic endoderm in chimeras at E6.5 and E7.5.

PDGFRA Is Not Essential for the Derivation and Maintenance of Mouse Extraembryonic Endoderm Stem Cell Lines
Extraembryonic endoderm stem (XEN) cell lines can be derived and maintained in vitro and reflect the primitive endoderm lineage. Platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRA) is thought to be essential for the derivation and maintenance of mouse XEN cell lines. Here, we have re-evaluated this requirement for PDGFRA. We derived multiple PDGFRA-deficient XEN cell lines from postimplantat...
متن کاملeXtraembryonic ENdoderm (XEN) Stem Cells Produce Factors that Activate Heart Formation
BACKGROUND Initial specification of cardiomyocytes in the mouse results from interactions between the extraembryonic anterior visceral endoderm (AVE) and the nascent mesoderm. However the mechanism by which AVE activates cardiogenesis is not well understood, and the identity of specific cardiogenic factors in the endoderm remains elusive. Most mammalian studies of the cardiogenic potential of t...
متن کاملThe albino deletion complex and early postimplantation survival in the mouse.
The albino deletion complex in the mouse represents 37 overlapping chromosomal deficiencies that have been arranged into at least twelve complementation groups. Many of the deletions cover regions of chromosome 7 that contain genes necessary for early embryonic development. The work reported here concentrates on two of these deletions (c6H, c11DSD), both of which were known to be lethal around ...
متن کاملApolipoprotein expression by murine visceral yolk sac endoderm.
Apolipoprotein expression was examined in the postimplantation mouse embryo. Antibodies directed against murine Apolipoprotein AI and human low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particles specifically immunoprecipitated metabolically labelled radioactive apolipoproteins from the culture supernatant of 10.5 days post coitum (days p.c.) yolk sac visceral endoderm cultured in vitro. No evidence for apolip...
متن کاملCell interactions and endoderm differentiation in cultured mouse embryos.
Morphological and biochemical evidence is presented that the visceral extraembryonic endoderm of the 6.5-day mouse embryo will differentiate into parietal endoderm when cultured in contact with extraembryonic ectoderm undergoing transition into trophoblast giant cells. Egg cylinders from 6.5-day embryos were dissected into embryonic and extraembryonic halves and cultured in suspension in vitro ...
