Abstract

Background: Studies have shown thatembryonic stem cells can differentiate into germ cells either spontaneously or directed by the defined factors or by applying a co-culture method or conditioned medium of stromal cells.

Objective: Here, Yazd4 (human embryonic stem cells [hESC] line; 46, XX) was used to evaluate the effect of human cumulus cells conditioned medium (CCCM) on in vitro germ cell production and development.

Materials and methods: In this experimental study 2 different complete media were applied, Dulbecco's modified eagle's medium + 20% fetal bovin serum and embryoid body (EB) medium (KnockOut serum replacement- hESC without basal fibroblast growth factor). Thus, there are 2 control groups for spontaneous differentiation (SD) (SD-EB and SD-DM) and 2 types of CCCM (CCCM-DM and CCCM-EB) as test groups. 40% dilution of the conditioned medium was applied according to previous reports.

Results: Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and immunofluorescent staining assays revealed that between groups with similar complete medium, CCCM provides a better condition for in vitro germ cell differentiation from hESCs. Moreover, a comparison between the 2 types of complete media showed that EB medium is more supportive than Dulbecco's modified eagle's medium +20% fetal bovin serum.

Conclusion: CCCM with EB medium as a complete medium provides a better condition for in vitro germ cell differentiation from hESCs.

积云细胞条件培养基促进人胚胎干细胞生殖细胞分化的实验研究。

背景：研究表明，胚胎干细胞可以自发地向生殖细胞分化，也可以在特定因素的引导下，或通过基质细胞的共培养方法或条件培养基向生殖细胞分化。目的：建立人胚胎干细胞Yazd4 （hESC）系；46， XX)评价了人积云细胞条件培养基（CCCM）对体外生殖细胞产生和发育的影响。材料和方法：本实验采用2种不同的完全培养基，Dulbecco改良鹰培养基+ 20%胎牛血清和胚状体（EB）培养基（KnockOut血清替代-不含基底成纤维细胞生长因子的hESC）。因此，有2个自发分化（SD）对照组（SD- eb和SD- dm）和2种CCCM类型（CCCM- dm和CCCM- eb）作为实验组。根据先前的报道，将条件培养基稀释40%。结果：逆转录-定量聚合酶链反应和免疫荧光染色结果显示，在完全培养基相似的两组间，CCCM为hESCs体外生殖细胞分化提供了较好的条件。两种完全培养基的比较表明，EB培养基比Dulbecco改良鹰培养基+20%胎牛血清的支持作用更强。结论：以EB培养基为完整培养基的CCCM为hESCs体外生殖细胞分化提供了较好的条件。
