不同冷冻液对鸡精原干细胞冷冻-解冻后存活力的影响

采用两步酶解和差异贴壁法分离、纯化鸡精原干细胞(SSCs),比较了6种冷冻保护液对其冷冻保存效果,结果表明:FBS浓度为10%时,10%DMSO与10%甘油解冻后细胞存活率分别为54.05%和37.49%,差异显著(P<0.05);以10%DMSO为冷冻保护剂时,FBS浓度从10%增加到20%,解冻后细胞存活率分别为54.05%和69.06%,差异显著(P<0.05);在冷冻液Ⅰ基础上,添加3种不同浓度的蔗糖溶液,解冻后细胞存活率分别为52.49%、47.65%和51.94%,三者之间差异不显著(P>0.05),且与冷冻液Ⅰ组差异也不显著(P>0.05);将解冻后细胞接种饲养层上培养,除甘油组外,SSCs均能增殖并形成AKP阳性集落,但10%DMSO加上20%FBS组细胞增殖速度和集落数优于其他组合,表明10%DMSO加上20%FBS为鸡SSCs最佳冷冻保护剂。     

Effects of different media on proliferation and differentiation capacity of canine, equine and porcine adipose derived stem cells

Adult stem cells are of particular interest for therapeutic use in the field of regenerative medicine. Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs) are an attractive stem cell source for all fields of regenerative medicine because adipose tissue - and therewith cells - can easily be harvested from each donor. However, common expansion using fetal bovine serum (FBS) can not be used for clinical applications as xenogenic proteins must be avoided. Adipose tissue from equine, canine and porcine donors was digested with collagenase to isolate ASCs. ASCs were either expanded in a cell culture medium supplemented with FBS or in a serum-free medium (UltraCulture; UC) supplemented with a serum substitute (UltroserG). From all three animal species, the adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation potential of ASCs cultured with different media was analyzed in vitro. Cell proliferation analysis showed a population doubling time of 48-68 h for canine cells, 54-65 h for porcine cells and 54-70 h for equine cells, expanded in different media. Except for porcine ASCs, cells cultured in media supplemented with FBS grew faster than cells expanded in UC medium with UltroserG. Yet, all cells maintained their potential to differentiate into adipocytes and osteoblasts. UltraCulture medium containing UltroserG can for all examined species be recommended if FBS needs to be avoided in the expansion of donor-derived (stem) cells.     

Influence of an autologous serum-supplemented medium on the proliferation and differentiation into neurons of canine bone marrow stromal cells

We investigated the influence of autologous serum (AS)-supplemented medium on the proliferation and differentiation into neurons of canine bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs). Canine BMSCs were cultured using α-MEM only, α-MEM with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), and 5, 10 and 20% AS-supplemented α-MEM. Growth of canine BMSCs was observed in all AS groups. The proliferation capacity of canine BMSCs in the AS groups was similar to that in the FBS group. No significant differences between the FBS and AS groups were observed in the percentage of the cells that changed to the neuron-like morphology and neuron-specific enolase-positive ratio after neuronal differentiation. Canine BMSCs cultured using AS-supplemented medium were able to proliferate and showed neuronal differentiation potency.     

Comparison of the effects of Ham'sF10 and αMEM in combination with FBS or BSA in vitrification/warming solution on quality and viability of sheep ovarian follicles

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of the two types of media, namely minimum essential medium (αMEM) and Ham'sF10, supplemented with foetal bovine serum (FBS) or bovine serum albumin (BSA) in vitrification/warming solution on the quality and viability of sheep ovarian follicles. Vitrification method was applied for cryopreservation of sheep ovarian cortex using Ham'sF10 and αMEM supplemented with either BSA or FBS. There were five groups: Fresh, Ham'sF10+ BSA, Ham'sF10+ FBS, αMEM + BSA and αMEM + FBS. Samples were cultured for two weeks after warming. Viability and morphology of follicles and DNA fragmentation in follicles and in tissue stroma cells were analysed before vitrification/warming and following one and two weeks of culture. The Ham'sF10+ FBS and Ham'sF10+ BSA groups showed a significant decrease in follicular viability after one week of culture (p < .05 vs. Fresh). Following two weeks of culture, all groups revealed a considerable fall in the number of viable follicles (p < .05 vs. Fresh). There was an increase in DNA fragmentation of connective tissue cells but not in the follicles (p < .05). Our results showed the better application of αMEM supplemented with BSA as a vitrification solution in improvement of cryopreservation effects and maintenance of follicular survival.     

Effect of Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor on the Proliferation of Bovine Skeletal Muscle Satellite Cells

To investigate the effect of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) on the proliferation of bovine skeletal muscle satellite cells,bovine skeletal muscle satellite cells were isolated and cultured in the medium with bFGF,the growth and differentiation state of muscle satellite cells were observed,and the growth curve and EDU cell proliferation assay were conducted.The results showed that cell morphology of bovine skeletal muscle satellite cells cultured in medium containing bFGF was better and proliferation rate was significantly higher than that in control group (P<0.05).The results indicated that bFGF could promote proliferation of bovine skeletal muscle satellite cells efficiently in growth medium and differential medium.Our study established an efficient method to culture bovine skeletal muscle satellite cells,which could provide reference for studying and using of skeletal muscle satellite cells.

The use of embryonic stem cell derived bioactive material as a new protein supplement for the in vitro culture of bovine embryos

Embryonic stem (ES) cells are expanded versions of the inner cell mass cells that compose the early mammalian blastocyst. Components derived from ES cells may contain various bioactive materials (BM) helpful for early preimplantation embryo growth. In this study, we examined the effect of human ES cell derived BM (hES-BM) on in vitro culture of bovine embryos. When bovine parthenogenetic day 2 embryos were cultured in 10% hES-BM, a significantly higher embryo development rate (44.3%) and increased cell numbers were observed relative to control medium containing 3 mg/ml BSA (19.5%; P<0.01). Among the various concentrations (5, 10 and 15%) and days of treatment (2 or 4 days) tested, 10% hES-BM treatment for 4 days provided the best culture environment to support the growth of bovine embryos in vitro (P<0.05). Little difference was observed between 10% hES-BM and 10% FBS treatment in the examined parthenogenetic or in vitro fertilized embryos, although the hES-BM group developed at a slightly better rate. However, the ICM cell numbers were significantly higher in the hES-BM group in irrespective of embryo origin (P<0.05). In addition, the relative levels of pluripotency (Oct4, × 1.8 fold; Nanog. × 3.3 fold), embryogenesis (Stat3, × 2.8 fold; FGF4, × 18.8 fold; E-cad, × 2.0 fold) and growth (Glut5, × 2.6 fold) genes were significantly higher in the 10% hES-BM group than in the 10% FBS group (P<0.05), while the levels of other genes (Bax, Bcl2, MnSOD and Connexin43) were not different. This is the first report examining the positive effects of hES-BM on bovine embryo development in vitro. Based on our results, we conclude that hES-BM can be used as a new protein supplement for bovine preimplantation embryo development.     

The Establishment and Application of Metabolic Model of Blood Cells in Chicken

The experiment was aimed to establish a drug metabolic model of the blood cells in chicken. The effects of three kinds of culture medium (L-15,M199 and RPMI1640) and different concentrations of fetal bovine serum (FBS) were compared to optimize the culture condition of blood cells,and the proper time of medication was determined after the cell vitality was measured by MTT assay. The content of ribavirin and its metabolites (TCONH₂ and RTCOOH) were detected after the ribavirin was dosed. The results showed that the cell viability was highest when the blood cells cultured in L-15 medium,the state of blood cells was better when 10% FBS was added to the medium. The best time for medication was when blood cells were cultured for 3 h. The content of ribavirin was decreased with the time of administration,the metabolites of ribavirin were increased quickly after half an hour, it changed slowly after 3 h. In conclusion,the metabolic model of blood cells in chicken was successfully established,and the blood cells cultured in vitro were better using L-15 medium supplemented with 10% FBS. The metabolic transformation function of blood cells in chicken was indicated by the medication test of ribavirin and it could be used to study the drug metabolism in vitro.

Production of blastocysts after intergeneric nuclear transfer of goral (Naemorhedus goral) somatic cells into bovine oocytes

Interspecies cloning may be a useful method to help conserve endangered species and to study nuclear-cytoplasm interaction. The present study investigated in vitro development of goral (Naemorhedus goral) intergeneric nuclear transfer embryos produced by fusing goral fibroblasts with enucleated metaphase II (MII) bovine oocytes. After two to five passages, serum-starved or non-starved goral skin fibroblast cells were transferred into enucleated MII bovine oocytes. Couplets were electrically fused and chemically activated, and then cultured in either modified synthetic oviduct fluid (mSOF) or tissue culture medium-199 (TCM-199) supplemented with 10% FBS. Serum starvation of donor cells did not affect the fusion rate and or development to of cells to the two-cell stage, to more than 9-cells, or to morulae, regardless of culture medium. Three blastocysts from 202 fused embryos were obtained when embryos reconstructed with non- serum- starved donor cells were cultured in mSOF. However, no blastocysts were obtained when the embryos reconstructed with serum-starved donor cells were cultured in mSOF. The total cell number of goral intergeneric embryos averaged 130.3 (range 105-180). In conclusion, this study demonstrated that bovine oocytes can support blastocyst development after intergeneric SCNT with goral fibroblasts.     

Development of pig embryos after electro-activation and in vitro fertilization in PZM-3 or PZM supplemented with fetal bovine serum

The aim of present study was to optimize culture conditions for pig embryos. Initially, we evaluated three different basic culture conditions. When embryos from electro-activation (parthenotes) or in vitro fertilization (IVF-embryos) were cultured in PZM supplemented with 3 mg/ml bovine serum albumin (PZM-3) in 4-well dishes, in medium covered with oil in 4-well dishes or in droplets under oil, 0%, 33% and 20% of the parthenotes, and 11%, 23% and 20% of the IVF-embryos developed to blastocysts. Subsequently, we examined the development of embryos when they were cultured in 4-well dishes in medium covered with oil continuously for 7 days or cultured under the same conditions but with a change to fresh medium on Days 2 and 4. In this experiment, 23% (no medium change) and 34% (change) of the parthenotes developed to blastocysts, respectively. When IVF-embryos were cultured under similar conditions, 33% and 38% of the embryos developed to blastocysts. Further improvement was achieved when PZM was supplemented with FBS from Day 4. In this experiment, 47% of the parthenotes developed to blastocysts with an average cell number of 57 +/- 7.7. In IVF-embryo group, 49% of the embryos developed to blastocysts with a mean cell number of 60 +/- 6.1. These results indicate that a change to fresh medium and inclusion of FBS in the medium during the late stages of culture can generate a higher proportion of high-quality blastocysts.     

Vitrification of Bovine Blastocysts Produced In Vitro Inflicts Selective Damage to the Inner Cell Mass

In contrast to the embryos derived from live animals, the embryos produced in vitro undergo increased damage and reduced survival after cryopreservation, particularly when produced with serum. In medium containing serum, retinoic acid increases cell numbers in the inner cell mass and the trophectoderm without altering their relative proportions in the bovine blastocyst. In this work, in medium without serum, we analyzed the contribution of retinoic acid to the development of blastocyst and survival to vitrification, and found a strong cell reduction in the inner mass when compared to the trophectoderm. Day-6 in vitro -produced morulae were treated for 24 h with retinoic acid (0.7 and 1.4 μ m ) and subsequently cultured without additives for a further 24 h period. Day-8 blastocyst production and cell counts in hatched blastocysts were unaffected by retinoic acid. However, Day-7 expanded, vitrified embryos produced with retinoic acid 1.4 μ m survived at lower rates than controls when cultured after warming. Vitrification greatly reduced cell numbers in the inner mass (p < 0.0001), while cells in the trophectoderm remained unaltered. Differential cell counts analysis in blastocysts should be taken up to replace unspecific determination of total cells to appreciate substantial modifications in their exact terms. The strong reduction we found in the inner cell mass could explain why in vitro survival to cryopreservation is sometimes scarcely informative on the viability of the embryo after transfer to recipients.     

不同冻存液对奶牛乳腺上皮细胞冻存质量的影响

试验旨在探究奶牛乳腺上皮细胞（bovine mammary epithelial cells,BMECs）最佳的冻存液以改善乳腺上皮细胞的冻存质量。BMECs传至第5代后分别加入以下10种不同配方的冻存液。A组：85%DMEM＋10%胎牛血清＋5%DMSO;B组：80%DMEM＋10%胎牛血清＋10%DMSO;C组：75%DMEM＋10%胎牛血清＋15%DMSO;D组：70%DMEM＋10%胎牛血清＋20%DMSO;E组：85%DMEM＋5%胎牛血清＋10%DMSO;F组：75%DMEM＋15%胎牛血清＋10%DMSO;G组：70%DMEM＋20%胎牛血清＋10%DMSO;H组：80%DMEM＋10%胎牛血清＋10%甘油;I组：70%DMEM＋10%胎牛血清＋20%甘油;J组：60%DMEM＋10%胎牛血清＋30%甘油,冻存前统一调整细胞密度到1×106个/mL冻存。分别对复苏后的细胞进行台盼蓝染色计算存活率和PI/Hoechst33258双染计算凋亡率。结果表明,BMECs经不同冻存剂冻存复苏后,细胞活力、形态学及凋亡率表现有所不同,其中B组和G组的活力和24h贴壁率较其他组高,二者的凋亡率较低,二者之间差异无显著性（P〉0.05）;传代后B组细胞的生长状况最好。     

Hypothermic storage of porcine zygotes in serum supplemented with chlorogenic acid

The current study was conducted to investigate the effects of 100% foetal bovine serum (FBS) and 100% porcine follicular fluid (pFF) as a storage medium on the developmental competence of porcine zygotes stored at 25°C for 24 hr. Moreover, we evaluated the additive effects of chlorogenic acid (CGA) in the storage medium. When in vitro‐produced zygotes were stored at 25°C for 24 hr in tubes containing either tissue culture medium (TCM) 199 supplemented with 1 mg/ml bovine serum albumin (BSA), 100% of FBS or 100% of pFF, the rate of blastocyst formation was significantly higher in 100% of FBS than in BSA‐containing TCM 199. When the effects of CGA supplementation in 100% of FBS on the development of zygotes stored at 25°C for 24 hr was evaluated, more zygotes stored with 50 µM CGA developed to blastocysts compared with the other concentrations of CGA. When the formation date and quality of blastocysts derived from zygotes stored in 100% of FBS supplemented with 50 µM CGA were investigated, the highest ratio of blastocysts formation in the storage group appeared 1 day later than in the non‐stored control group. However, a higher proportion of blastocysts with apoptotic nuclei was observed in the stored group as compared to the non‐stored group. In conclusion, 100% of FBS is available for a short storage medium of porcine zygotes. The supplementation of 50 µM CGA into the storage medium improves the rates of blastocyst formation of zygotes after storage, but the quality of embryos from the stored zygotes remains to be improved.     

Comparison of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus growth in media supplemented with fetal bovine serum or a serum replacement.

Commercially available serum replacements are often used in cell culture as a cheaper and less variable substitute for fetal bovine serum (FBS). The growth of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) isolates in CRL11171 cells maintained in a medium supplemented with FBS was compared with virus propagation in the same cell line maintained in the same medium with a serum replacement. The PRRSV replicated significantly better when the cell culture medium was supplemented with FBS. The results of this study have implications for the use of serum replacement-supplemented medium for PRRSV diagnosis by virus isolation.

Encephalitis in aborted bovine fetuses associated with Bovine herpesvirus 1 infection.

Brain tissue from 12 aborted bovine fetuses submitted to the Wisconsin Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory revealed histologic lesions that consisted of glial nodules and variable degrees of mononuclear inflammation, microhemorrhage, neuronal necrosis, and cerebral cortical cavitation. A diagnosis of Bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1) abortion had been made in all of these cases through multiple testing modalities. Brain tissue from 8 of the 12 fetuses was immunohistochemically stained with a monoclonal antibody specific to BHV-1, and, in 5 fetuses, there was positive intralesional staining of neurons, glial cells, and endothelial cells. This preliminary data suggested that herpesviral infection of brain tissue led to the described neurologic lesions. BHV-1 was then amplified from brain tissue in all 12 of the fetuses and was confirmed by partial sequencing of the thymidine kinase and glycoprotein C genes. To the authors' knowledge, neurologic lesions have not previously been described in BHV-1-infected fetuses, nor has BHV-1 previously been identified in bovine fetal brain tissue. The neurologic histopathology attributed to BHV-1 infection in these cases overlaps with the neurologic lesions produced by Neospora caninum, a common etiologic agent of bovine abortion. Therefore, when bovine fetal neurologic lesions are found, both etiologies should be considered and then distinguished by using additional diagnostic tools.

Cell lines from sheep and cattle blood

A simple and reproducible method of establishing cell lines from the blood of sheep and cattle is described. Buffy coat cells were allowed to adhere to plastic culture flasks in media containing 20 per cent autologous plasma overnight. The fluids were then replaced with growth medium supplemented with non-inactivated foetal calf serum, lamb serum or autologous serum. Ovine cell lines were established with any of the serum supplements but bovine cell lines were established more readily if unheated autologous serum was used.
