Restoration of spermatogenesis in infertile mice by Sertoli cell transplantation

The niche is considered to play an important role in stem cell biology. Sertoli cells are the only somatic cells in the seminiferous tubule that closely interact with germ cells to create a favorable environment for spermatogenesis. However, little is known about how Sertoli cells develop to form the male germ line niche. We report here that Sertoli cells recovered and dissociated from testes of donor male mice can be microinjected into recipient testes, form mature seminiferous tubule structures, and support spermatogenesis. Sertoli cells from perinatal donors had a dramatically greater capacity for generating seminiferous tubules than those from adult donors. Furthermore, transplantation of wild-type Sertoli cells into infertile Steel/Steel(dickie) testes created a permissive testicular microenvironment for generating spermatogenesis and spermatozoa. Thus, our results demonstrate that the male germ line stem cell niche can be transferred between animals. In addition, the technique provides a novel tool with which to analyze spermatogenesis and might provide a mechanism for correcting fertility in males suffering from supporting cell defects.     

Retrovirus-mediated modification of male germline stem cells in rats

The ability to isolate, manipulate, and transplant spermatogonial stem cells provides a unique opportunity to modify the germline. We used the rat-to-nude mouse transplantation assay to characterize spermatogonial stem cell activity in rat testes and in culture. Our results indicate that rat spermatogonial stem cells can survive and proliferate in short-term culture, although a net loss of stem cells was observed. Rat spermatogonial stem cells also were susceptible to transduction with a retroviral vector carrying a lacZ reporter transgene. Using a 3-day periodic infection protocol, 0.5% of stem cells originally cultured were transduced and produced transgenic colonies of spermatogenesis in recipient mouse testes. The level of transgenic donor-derived spermatogenesis observed in the rat-to-mouse transplantation was similar to levels that produced transgenic progeny in the mouse-to-mouse transplantation. This work provides a basis for understanding the biology of rat spermatogonial stem cells. Development of an optimal rat recipient testis model and application of these methods for germline modification will enable the production of transgenic rats, potentially valuable tools for evaluating genes and their functions. In addition, these methods may be applicable in other species where existing transgenic methods are inefficient or not available.     

花生壳粉生物吸附水溶液中阴离子染料的研究

An untried,low cost, locally available biosorbent for its anionic dye removal capacity from aqueous solution was investigated. Powder prepared from peanut hull had been used for hiosorption of three anionic dyes, amaranth (Am), sunset yellow (SY) and fast green FCF (FG). The effects of various experimental parameters (e.g.initial pH and dye concentration, sorbent dosage, particle size, ion strength, contact time etc.) were examined and optimal experimental conditions were decided. At initial pH 2.0, three dyes studied could be removed effectively.When the dye concentration was 50 mg" L-1 the percentages of dyes sorbed was 95.5 % in Am, 91.3 % in SY and 94.98 % in FG, respectively. The ratios of dyes sorbed had neared maximum values in all three dyes whensorbent dose of 5.0 g·L^-1 and the sorbent particle size in 80—100 mesh was used. The increasing the ion strength of solution caused the decrease in biosorption percentages of dyes. The equilibrium values arrived at about 36 hour for all three dyes. The isothermal data of biosorption followed the Langmuir and Freundlich models. The biosorption processes conformed the pseudo-first-order rate kinetics. The results indicated that powdered peanut hull was an attractive candidate for removing anionic dyes from dye wastewater.
