Factors derived from mouse embryonic stem cells promote self-renewal of goat embryonic stem-like cells

Goat embryonic stem (ES)-like cells could be isolated from primary materials-inner cell masses (ICMs) and remain undifferentiated for eight passages in a new culture system containing mouse ES cell conditioned medium (ESCCM) and on a feeder layer of mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEFs). However, when cultured in medium without mouse ESCCM, goat ES-like cells could not survive for more than three passages. In addition, no ES-like cells could be obtained when ICMs were cultured on goat embryo fibroblasts or the primary materials-whole goat blastocysts were cultured on MEFs. Goat ES-like cells isolated from ICMs had a normal karyotype and highly expressed alkaline phosphatase. Multiple differentiation potency of the ES-like cells was confirmed by differentiation into neural cells and fibroblast-like cells in vitro. These results suggest that mouse ES cells might secrete factors playing important roles in promoting goat ES-like cells' self-renewal, moreover, the feeder layers and primary materials could also influence the successful isolation of goat ES-like cells.     

Culture of porcine embryonic germ cells in serum-supplemented and serum-free conditions: the effects of serum and growth factors on primary and long-term culture

Fetal bovine serum (FBS) is a commonly used medium supplement with variable and undefined composition, which presents problems in culture of pluripotent stem cells. The purpose of this study was to determine if FBS can be replaced with Knockout Serum Replacement (KSR), a defined medium supplement, and to examine the effects of FBS and growth factors on short- and long-term culture of pig embryonic germ cells (EGC). No significant differences were observed in total and mean colony areas in primary cultures between FBS- and KSR-supplemented medium (421 x 10(3) mum(2) vs. 395 x 10(3) microm(2), p = 0.68, n = 11, and 6375 microm(2) vs. 6407 microm(2), p = 0.885, respectively). Total and mean colony areas were significantly larger in KSR-supplemented medium compared with medium supplemented with KSR and growth factors (505 x 10(3) microm(2) vs. 396 x 10(3) microm(2), p = 0.016, n = 12, and 8769 microm(2) vs. 6513 microm(2), p = 0.003, respectively). The cultures proliferated for significantly higher numbers of passages in FBS-supplemented medium and in medium supplemented with KSR and growth factors compared with medium containing KSR alone (31.1 vs. 21.9, p = 0.004, n = 10, and 35.5 vs. 21.6, p = 002, n = 10, respectively). Porcine EGC maintained in serum-free conditions were positive for pluripotent stem cell markers, maintained stable karyotypes for up to 54 passages, and were capable of differentiating in vitro into cells from the three primary germ layers. These results will help improve and standardize culture of pluripotent stem cells in the pig.     

不同供体细胞及其处理对猪核移植重构胚体外发育的影响

系统探讨了体细胞的组织来源及培养代数对猪核移植重构胚发育的影响。体外成熟培养40~44 h的猪卵母细胞去核后, 将经血清饥饿(0.5%FBS)培养2~9天、0.1 mg/L Aphidicolin(APD)培养+0.5% FBS培养2~9天或一般培养法(10% FBS)培养的卵丘细胞、颗粒细胞、输卵管上皮细胞和耳皮成纤维细胞, 直接注射到去核的卵母细胞质中, 或注射到卵周隙中, 再经电融合(100 V/mm, 30 [mu]s, 电脉冲1次)构建重构胚。重构胚以钙离子载体A23817 或电脉冲结合6-DMAP 激活处理, 体外培养6天。耳皮成纤维细胞和颗粒细胞经0.1 mg/L APD + 0.5% FBS培养处理后的重组胚卵裂率, 均高于血清饥饿和一般培养处理的同种供体细胞(P<0.01)。卵丘细胞、颗粒细胞经0.1 mg/L APD + 0.5% FBS处理后进行核移植的分裂率和发育率均高于输卵管上皮细胞和耳皮成纤维细胞(P<0.05)。以猪颗粒细胞为核供体时, 电融合法的重构胚分裂率显著高于胞质内注入法(P<0.05), 但囊胚发育率无显著差异(P>0.05)。培养3代和6代的猪颗粒细胞以及培养6代和10代的耳皮成纤维细胞, 其具有正常二倍染色体的细胞比例均无显著差异(P>0.05); 以这2种细胞不同培养代数做供体进行核移植时, 各代之间核移胚的体外分裂率、囊胚发育率无显著差异(P>0.05)。这些结果表明: (1) 猪耳皮成纤维细胞和颗粒细胞经培养传代所建立起来的细胞系相对比较稳定; (2) 0.1 mg/L APD预培养处理供体细胞能提高猪体细胞核移植的效果, 血清饥饿培养则无明显效果; (3) 猪颗粒细胞和耳皮成纤维细胞等均可做供核细胞, 核移植后都能得到体细胞克隆的囊胚, 但前者的效果略优于后者, 且其核移植效果不受供核细胞培养代数的影响; (4) 电融合核移植胚胎的发育率高于胞质内直接注入法, 但两者的总体效率相近。     

High steroid content in conditioned medium of granulosa cells may disrupt primordial follicles formation in in vitro cultured one-day-old murine ovaries

This study was conducted to investigate the main and interactive effects of two methods of culture medium preparation [base medium vs granulosa cells conditioned medium (GCCM)] and two nutrient supplements [fetal bovine serum (FBS) vs knock-out serum replacement (KSR)] on formation and activation of primordial follicles and gene expression of corresponding factors during a seven-day culture period. One-day-old mouse ovaries were cultured with four different culture media including base medium containing FBS (BMF), base medium containing KSR (BMK), GCCM prepared with FBS (CMF) and GCCM prepared with KSR (CMK), and samples for histological and molecular assessments were collected on days 3 and 7 of culture. Further, steroid content of media was measured. Histological examination showed that KSR enhanced follicular formation and the number of follicular count was greater in BMK than CMF group (P < 0.05). Moreover, follicular activation was higher in CMK group than BMK and CMF groups (P < 0.05). Additionally, RT-PCR revealed that KSR upregulated Gdf9 gene expression (P < 0.05), while GCCM diminished expression of Gdf9, Bmp15, Notch2, Figla and Foxl2 (P < 0.05). GCCM decreased expression of Pten and increased expression of Pi3k (P < 0.05). Besides, hormonal assays indicated higher concentrations of estradiol and progesterone in GCCM compared with base media (P < 0.0001). In conclusion, the present study showed base medium containing KSR could serve as a proper medium for in vitro culture of neonatal mouse ovary since it could better support formation of primordial follicles. Yet BMK did not promote follicular activation as well as GCCM prepared with KSR did, and therefore, requires modifications.

A human endothelial cell feeder system that efficiently supports the undifferentiated growth of mouse embryonic stem cells

Feeder cells are commonly used to culture embryonic stem cells to maintain their undifferentiated and pluripotent status. Conventionally, mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs), supplemented with leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), are used as feeder cells to support the growth of mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) in culture. To prepare for fresh MEF feeder or for MEF-conditioned medium, sacrifice of mouse fetuses repeatedly is unavoidable in these tedious culture systems. Here we report the discovery of a human endothelial cell line (ECV-304 cell line) that efficiently supports growth of mESCs LIF-free conditions. mESCs that were successfully cultured for eight to 20 passages on ECV-304 feeders showed morphological characteristics similar to cells cultured in traditional feeder cell systems. These cells expressed the stem cell markers Oct3/4, Nanog, Sox2, and SSEA-1. Furthermore, cells cultured on the ECV-304 cell line were able to differentiate into three germ layers and were able to generate chimeric mice. Compared with traditional culture systems, there is no requirement for mouse fetuses and exogenous LIF does not need to be added to the culture system. As a stable cell line, the ECV-304 cell line efficiently replaces MEFs as an effective feeder system and allows the efficient expansion of mESCs.     

Serum-free culture of murine primordial germ cells and embryonic germ cells

Fetal calf serum (FCS) has usually been used for culture of embryonic stem (ES) cell as a component of the culture medium. However, FCS contains undefined factors, which promote cell proliferation and occasionally stimulate differentiation of ES cells. Recently, a chemically-defined serum replacement, Knockout Serum Replacement (KSR), was developed to maintain ES cells in an undifferentiated state. In this experiment, we examined the effects of KSR on the growth and differentiation of primordial germ cells (PGCs) and embryonic germ (EG) cells. PGCs were collected 8.5 days postcoitum (dpc) from B6D2F1 (C57BL/6JxDBA/2J) female mice mated with B6D2F1 males. Most of the PGCs that were cultured in FCS-supplemented medium (FCS medium) had alkaline phosphatase (AP) activity and acquired a fibroblast cell shape. In contrast, PGCs in KSR-supplemented medium (KSR medium) proliferated, maintaining round and stem cell-like morphology. In addition, EG cells were established more easily from PGCs cultured in KSR medium than from PGCs cultured in FCS medium. The percentage of undifferentiated colonies of EG cells was significantly higher in KSR medium than in FCS medium. The germ line chimera was also produced from EG cells established in KSR medium. These results suggest that KSR can be used for sustaining an undifferentiated state of PGCs and EG cells in vitro.     

Human platelet lysate stimulates high-passage and senescent human multipotent mesenchymal stromal cell growth and rejuvenation in vitro

Background aimsMultipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are clinically useful because of their immunomodulatory and regenerative properties, but MSC therapies are limited by the loss of self-renewal and cell plasticity associated with ex vivo expansion culture and, on transplantation, increased immunogenicity from xenogen exposure during culture. Recently, pooled human platelet lysate (hPL) has been used as a culture supplement to promote MSC growth; however, the effects of hPL on MSCs after fetal bovine serum (FBS) exposure remain unknown.MethodsMSCs were cultured in medium containing FBS or hPL for up to 16 passages, and cell size, doubling time and immunophenotype were determined. MSC senescence was assessed by means of a fluorometric assay for endogenous β-galactosidase expression. MSCs cultured with FBS for different numbers of passages were switched to hPL conditions to evaluate the ability of hPL to “rescue” the proliferative capacity of MSCs.ResultshPL culture resulted in more rapid cell proliferation at earlier passages (passage 5 or earlier) than remove FBS; by day 4, hPL (5%) yielded an MSC doubling time of 1.28 days compared with 1.52 days in 16% FBS. MSCs cultured first in FBS and switched to hPL proliferated more and demonstrated less β-galactosidase production and smaller cell sizes than remove MSCs continuously propagated in FBS.ConclusionshPL enables rapid expansion of MSCs without adversely affecting immunophenotype. hPL culture of aged and senescent MSCs demonstrated cellular rejuvenation, reflected by decreased doubling time and smaller cell size. These results suggest that expansion of MSCs in hPL after FBS exposure can enhance cell phenotype and proliferative capacity.
