不同培养体系对绵羊类胚胎干细胞分离、传代的影响

Effects of different Culture System of Isolating and Passage of Sheep Embryonic Stem-like Cells

摘要:

以小鼠胚胎成纤维细胞(MEF)为饲养层, 研究了用Knockout血清替代品(Knockout serum replacement, KSR)代替胚胎干细胞(Embryonic stem cells, ES cell)培养液中的胎牛血清(FBS)和向含KSR的基础培养液中添加40%的小鼠ES细胞条件培养液(ES cell conditioned medium, ESCCM)对绵羊类ES细胞分离、克隆效率的影响。发现使用含FBS的基础培养液最多可以把绵羊类ES细胞传至3代, 而使用KSR和添加ESCCM能促进绵羊类ES细胞的分离和克隆, 所获得的类ES细胞分别可稳定传至第5和8代。同时对类ES细胞进行核型分析、AKP染色及体外分化能力检测, 证实所分离的类ES细胞符合ES细胞的主要特征。由此认为, 与FBS相比KSR更加适于绵羊类ES细胞的分离与培养; 而小鼠ES细胞在生长过程中可能分泌某些重要的细胞因子, 从而达到促进绵羊ES细胞增值的作用。

Abstract:

In this research, we use mouse embryonic fibroblasts as feeder layers. To eliminate the influence of serum and mouse embryonic stem cells(ESCs) conditioned medium(ESCCM) on self-renewal of sheep embryonic stem-like cells, knockout serum replacement(KSR) was used to replace serum, then supplanted with ESCCM for the isolation and cloning of sheep embryonic stem-like cells. We found when inner cell masses(ICMs) cultured in the control group with medium supplanted with fetal bovine serum(FBS), sheep ES-like cells could not survive for more than 3 passages. However, sheep embryonic stem-like cells could remain undifferentiated for 5 passages when cultured in the medium that FBS was substituted by KSR. The result indicates that KSR culture system was more suitable for the isolation and cloning of sheep embryonic stem-like cells compared to FBS culture system. Finally we applied medium with 15% KSR as basic medium supplanted with 40% ESCCM as a new culture system to isolate sheep embryonic stem-like cells, we found one embryonic stem-like cell line still maintained undifferentiating for 8 passages, which characterized with a normal and stable karyotype and high expression of alkaline phosphatase. These results suggest that it is suitable to culture sheep ICM in the new culture system with 15% KSR as basic medium and supplanted with 40% ESCCM, which indicated that mouse ES cells might secrete factors playing important roles in promoting sheep ES-like cells’ self-renewal.
