isolation, expansion and purification of mouse spermatogonial stem cells in an autologous sertoli cell co-culture system
Authors
abstract
objective: this study presents a simple method for isolation, expansion and purification of neonatal mouse spermatogonial stem cells. methods: we used enzymatic digestion to isolate a cell suspension of spermatogonia and sertoli cells from neonatal 2-day-old mice. the cells were cultured in dmem/f12 that contained 10% serum for two weeks. sertoli and spermatogonia cell characteristics were confirmed by examining for the presence of vimentin and plzf proteins, respectively. to assess the rate of spermatogonia stem cell expansion, the area and number of colonies were measured during the two weeks of culture. at the end of the second week, we detected spermatogonia cell-specific expressions of the stra8, piwill2, dazl, and mvh genes. results: current results indicated that isolated sertoli and spermatogonia cells were immunopositive for specific markers. during the culture period, a significant difference was seen in the number and area of spermatogonial stem cell colonies (pconclusion: our study showed that co-culture of spermatogonia and sertoli cells from same source provides a convenient and efficient environment. this co-culture, without the addition of external growth factors and chemical manipulations, can be used for proliferation of spermatogonia stem cells.

BACKGROUND: Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) are infrequentself-renewing cells among the type A spermatogoniawithin the seminiferous tubules and are the basis of spermatogenesisin mammalian testis. An adequate number of SSCs is aprimary requirement for the study of their behavior, regulation, andfurther biomanipulation. OBJECTIVES: In this paper, we studiedthe development of the primary co-cult...

Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) also known as germ stem cells (GSCs) are the basis of spermatogenesis process in the testis. Furthermore, they are also valuable cells with different applications in developmental biology, transgenesis technology, and clinic. Understanding the new findings related to the cell and molecular biology of SSCs and the methods for isolation and maintenance of these ce...

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...
