Research note: Unveiling the impact of ovotransferrin on chicken primordial germ cells biological processes
In the field of genetic breeding, primordial germ cells (PGCs) have become essential cells for gene editing and genetic improvement due to their unique developmental potential and genetic characteristics. However, the low proliferation efficiency and instability of culture systems pose significant challenges, severely limiting the application of PGCs in genetic breeding. In this study, the biological effects of ovotransferrin on chicken PGCs, focusing on its role in regulating key cellular processes. Treatment with 0.5 mg/ml ovotransferrin significantly promoted cell proliferation, enhanced cell adhesion, reduced oxidative stress, and suppressed apoptosis in cultured PGCs. These findings reveal a regulatory role of ovotransferrin in maintaining PGCs survival and function, providing new insights into optimizing PGC culture systems through targeted modulation of cell fate.
期刊介绍:
First self-published in 1921, Poultry Science is an internationally renowned monthly journal, known as the authoritative source for a broad range of poultry information and high-caliber research. The journal plays a pivotal role in the dissemination of preeminent poultry-related knowledge across all disciplines. As of January 2020, Poultry Science will become an Open Access journal with no subscription charges, meaning authors who publish here can make their research immediately, permanently, and freely accessible worldwide while retaining copyright to their work. Papers submitted for publication after October 1, 2019 will be published as Open Access papers.
An international journal, Poultry Science publishes original papers, research notes, symposium papers, and reviews of basic science as applied to poultry. This authoritative source of poultry information is consistently ranked by ISI Impact Factor as one of the top 10 agriculture, dairy and animal science journals to deliver high-caliber research. Currently it is the highest-ranked (by Impact Factor and Eigenfactor) journal dedicated to publishing poultry research. Subject areas include breeding, genetics, education, production, management, environment, health, behavior, welfare, immunology, molecular biology, metabolism, nutrition, physiology, reproduction, processing, and products.
