Postthaw survival of rhesus macaque sperm: variation in the response of individual males to different freezing protocols

This study was designed to assess the effects of various cryopreservation protocols on the postthaw survival of rhesus macaque sperm. Multiple ejaculates of five mature males were collected and frozen by each of four different methods. Cryopreservation significantly reduced motility in all samples, regardless of the method, and the response of different ejaculates of the same male to each method proved to be consistent. The freezing method was a significant factor in determining the immediate postthaw motility, although this effect disappeared after 4 hr. Moreover, there was a significant interaction between individual males and freezing method suggesting that developing a single freezing protocol that is universally suitable may be difficult.

Successful implementation of intestinal endoscopy in non‐human primates prompts the possibility of achieving AIDS longitudinal intestinal research

HIV infection induces pathological changes in the intestinal mucosa. Here, a successful endoscopy was performed on the colon of a Chinese rhesus macaque by using Olympus CV170 gastroscope. The stability on postoperative recovery and the integrity of biopsy tissue implied a possibility of achieving AIDS longitudinal intestinal research on macaques.     

In vitro T lymphopoiesis: A model system for stem cell gene therapy for AIDS

Abstract: Stable introduction of therapeutic genes into hematopoietic stem cells has the potential to reconstitute immunity in individuals with HIV infection. However, many important questions regarding the safety and efficacy of this approach remain unanswered and may be addressed in a non-human primate model. To facilitate evaluation of expression of foreign genes in T cells derived from transduced hematopoietic progenitor cells, we have established a culture system that supports the differentiation of rhesus macaque and human CD34⁺ bone marrow derived cells into mature T cells. Thymic stromal monolayers were prepared from the adherent cell fraction of collagenase digested fetal or neonatal thymus. After 10–14 days, purified rhesus CD34⁺ bone marrow-derived cells cultured on thymic stromal monolayers yielded CD3⁺CD4⁺CD8⁺, CD3⁺CD4⁺CD8^?, and CD3⁺CD4^?CD8⁺ cells. Following stimulation with mitogens, these T cells derived from CD34⁺ cells could be expanded over 1,000-fold and maintained in culture for up to 20 weeks. We next evaluated the ability of rhesus CD34⁺ cells transduced with a retroviral vector containing the marker gene neo to undergo in vitro T cell differentiation. CD34⁺ cells transduced in the presence of bone marrow stroma and then cultured on rhesus thymic stroma resulted in T cells containing the retroviral marker gene. These studies should facilitate both in vitro and in vivo studies of hematopoietic stem cell therapeutic strategies for AIDS.     

Toward developing a genome-wide microsatellite marker set for linkage analysis in the rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta): identification of 76 polymorphic markers

Linkage analysis can be problematic in humans because of the lack of large, multigenerational pedigrees and the difficulties in obtaining phenotypic data on all family members. In contrast, large, captive colonies of rhesus macaque are a potentially valuable resource for linkage studies because detailed phenotypic and genealogical data are kept, inbreeding is avoided, and DNA samples can usually be obtained. Microsatellite marker sets for genome-wide screening are available in a number of species, but not for the rhesus macaque. We tested primers to 400 human microsatellite markers from a genome-wide mapping set using DNA from nine unrelated female rhesus macaques. We found that 76 (19%) of the primers amplified a polymorphic product using the standard protocols for human DNA. The average heterozygosity of the markers in humans was 0.80, compared to 0.65 in the rhesus macaques. This study provides preliminary data, which could be used toward the development of a linkage mapping set in this species. There would be a need, however, to confirm the Mendelian inheritance of the markers.     

Hormonal Correlates of Maternal Style in Captive Macaques (Macaca fuscata and M. mulatta)

Previous studies on nonhuman primate maternal styles showed that variation in infant-directed behavior falls along two dimensions, traditionally labeled as protectiveness and rejection. We investigated maternal styles in rhesus (Macaca mulatta) and Japanese (M. fuscata) macaques living in analogous captive social groups, and correlated them with the levels of estrogen metabolites excreted in female feces during the perinatal period. We focally observed mother-infant pairs 3 hours per week during the first 12 weeks of infant life. We collected fecal samples twice a week from each mother, starting 4 weeks before delivery and ending 4 weeks after delivery. Three significant components were extracted by principal component analysis from 15 different infant directed behaviors, each reflecting a different aspect of mothering style: rejection is correlated with behavioral measures of maternal opposition to contact; protectiveness is correlated with maternal solicitude; and independence is correlated with time in contact, grooming and cradling. Levels of estrogen metabolites are significantly correlated to rejection but not to protectiveness or independence, indicating that, in nonhuman primates, individual endocrine changes related to maternal behavior might specifically affect the timing of contact interruption.
