小鼠睾丸消化细胞异体移植重构生精小管的研究

目的:采用免疫缺陷小鼠作为受体,通过对小鼠睾丸消化细胞异位移植后不同时期移植物的研究,观察生精小管重构、生精细胞归巢及精子发生情况。方法:取新生ICR小鼠的睾丸消化成单细胞悬液,将其与Matrigel基质胶混匀后移植于雄性裸鼠背部皮下,术后裸鼠行去势。移植后分别于4、6、8、10周处死5只裸鼠,计算移植成功率,取移植物测量直径,并进行HE染色和免疫组化检测,观察生精小管的重构、生精细胞归巢及精子发生情况。结果:20只受体鼠接受睾丸消化细胞移植后全部存活。睾丸消化细胞移植后10周内可见明显隆起的包块,包块直径由第4周的(3.91±0.71)mm增加到(6.69±0.50)mm,移植物表面有血管生成。对移植物石蜡切片进行HE染色可见生精小管样结构,部分生精小管管腔内可见由精原细胞发育至精子细胞的各级生殖细胞,未见明显精子产生。对8周移植物进行免疫组化观察,可见生殖细胞标志物Mvh、支持细胞标志物Gata4和间质细胞标志物P450Scc表达。结论:新生小鼠睾丸消化细胞移植于裸鼠背部皮下后可重构生精小管,为研究睾丸组织工程及睾丸发育和精子发生过程中睾丸各组成细胞之间的相互作用提供了理想的研究模型。

Reconstructed seminiferous tubules from ectopic grafting of testicular cells

Objective: To investigate the ectopic grafts of mouse testicular cells by observing the reconstruction of seminiferous tubules,colonization of spermatogenic cells and spermatogenesis using immunodeficient mice as recipients.Methods: The testes of newborn male ICR mice were digested to obtain single cell suspension.The cells were then mixed with matrigel and subcutaneously grafted into the dorsal region of the male nude mice.The mice were castrated after the operation and the grafts were dissected from 5 of ...
