abstract

enrichment of cell suspension with germ cells prior to injection into recipient seminiferous tubules is of importance in spermatogonial stem cells (sscs) transplantation. knock-out serum replacement (ksr) has been reported to enhance the proliferation of murine sscs and human embryonic stem cells. the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of ksr versus fetal bovine serum (fbs) and their interaction on colonization of bovine sscs in vitro. when fbs (10%) was replaced with ksr (10%), a significant increase in the colonization of sscs and the expression of thy1, as marker for enrichment of sscs, was observed. it was revealed that the lesser proliferative effect of fbs as well as the greater proliferative impact of ksr on sscs colonization were not irreversible as cells having been cultured with fbs (10%) for three days with low colonization showed high rate of colonization in response to ksr (10%) and cells having been cultured with ksr (10%) with high colonization experienced low rate of colonization in response to fbs (10%). further, it was shown that fbs did not contain factors inhibiting sscs colonization and it simply lacked factors essential for sscs proliferation because the combination of fbs (5%) and ksr (5%) resulted in even greater rate of colonization than did ksr (10%). in conclusion, the present study showed that addition of ksr to culture medium would significantly increase sscs proliferation.

Transfection of bovine spermatogonial stem cells in vitro

Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) are the only stem cells in adults that can transfer genetic information to the future generations. Considering the fact that a single SSC gives rise to a vast number of spermatozoa, genetic manipulation of these cells is a potential novel technology with feasible application to various animal species. The aim of this study was to evaluate enhanced green fluoresc...

Assessment of Culture Condition and In Vitro Colonization Ability of Human Spermatogonial Stem Cells: A Review Article

Spermatogenesis is a highly complex and regulated process in which germ stem cells differentiate into spermatozoa. These stem cells, called spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs), are in the base of seminiferous tubules and have the ability of self-renewal and differentiation into functional germ cells. Due to this ability, SSCs can restore spermatogenesis after testicular damage caused by cytotoxic ...

Expression of Spermatogonial and Pluripotency Markers in Spermatogonial Stem Cells after Treatment with Different Culture Factors

Background: As condition and component of culture determine fate map of spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs), the aim of this study was to evaluate of growth factors GDNF, LIF and RA on proliferation and differentiation of SSC. Materials and Methods: SSCs were cultured in two groups: The first group GDNF and LIF and the second group RA. The number of clumps and colony formation was monitored dur...

Establishment of Alternative Culture Method for Spermatogonial Stem Cells Using Knockout Serum Replacement

Since spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) are capable of both self-renewal and differentiation to daughter cells for subsequent spermatogenesis, the development of an efficient in vitro culture system is essential for studies related to spermatogenesis. Although the currently available system is serum-free and contains only chemically-defined components, it highly relies upon bovine serum albumin ...
