Abstract
Olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) is a commercially important fish species in Japan, China, and the Republic of Korea. Despite numerous attempts to improve productivity, there have been no studies of in vitro germline stem cell (GSC) culture in this species. Here, olive flounder testicular and ovarian cell lines (OFT and OFO, respectively) were established and characterized. RT-PCR demonstrated that OFT and OFO expressed several gonadal somatic cell markers, including wt1 and fgf2, but lacked expression of germ cell markers, such as vasa, nanos2, and scp3. In addition, SNP analysis revealed that OFT originated from XY male P. olivaceus and OFO originated from XX female P. olivaceus. These results suggest that OFT was composed of Sertoli cells and OFO was composed of granulosa cells and theca cells. Finally, coculture of OFT or OFO with enriched male P. olivaceus GSCs isolated from the top 20% and 20-30% Percoll density gradient layers showed that GSCs were attached on both cell lines. In conclusion, we established P. olivaceus testicular and ovarian cell lines, which were expected to use for development of an in vitro GSC culture system.
期刊介绍:
Biology (ISSN 2079-7737) is an international, peer-reviewed, quick-refereeing open access journal of Biological Science published by MDPI online. It publishes reviews, research papers and communications in all areas of biology and at the interface of related disciplines. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. Electronic files regarding the full details of the experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material.
