Abstract

Germline-competent embryonic stem (ES) cells have been successfully derived from mice and rats, but not from other species. Here we report the development of culture conditions for deriving ES cells from chickens and seven other avian species. Chicken ES cells express core pluripotency markers and can differentiate into cells of all embryonic germ layers, as well as extra-embryonic lineages. Notably, chicken ES cells contribute to high rates of chimerism when injected into chicken embryos and give rise to germ cells both in vitro and in ovo, confirming their germline competence. In addition, we demonstrated that ES cell self-renewal pathways are conserved among avian species, allowing ES cells from multiple avian species to be established using optimized chicken ES cell culture conditions. The establishment of authentic avian ES cells lays the groundwork for future applications in genetic engineering and the conservation of avian biodiversity.

禽类胚胎干细胞的衍生。

生殖系胚胎干（ES）细胞已成功地从小鼠和大鼠中获得，但尚未从其他物种中获得。在这里，我们报告了从鸡和其他七种鸟类中提取胚胎干细胞的培养条件的发展。鸡胚胎干细胞表达核心多能性标记，可分化为所有胚胎胚层细胞和胚外细胞系。值得注意的是，鸡胚胎干细胞注入鸡胚胎后，嵌合率很高，在体外和卵内都能产生生殖细胞，证实了它们的生殖细胞能力。此外，我们证明了胚胎干细胞自我更新途径在禽类物种中是保守的，允许在优化的鸡胚胎干细胞培养条件下建立来自多个禽类物种的胚胎干细胞。禽类胚胎干细胞的建立为今后在基因工程和鸟类生物多样性保护方面的应用奠定了基础。
