Spermatogenesis is one of the most complex and longest processes of sequential cell proliferation and differentiation in the body, taking more than a month from spermatogonial stem cells, through meiosis, to sperm formation. The whole process, therefore, has never been reproduced in vitro in mammals, nor in any other species with a very few exceptions in some particular types of fish. Here we show that neonatal mouse testes which contain only gonocytes or primitive spermatogonia as germ cells can produce spermatids and sperm in vitro with serum-free culture media. Spermatogenesis was maintained over 2?months in tissue fragments positioned at the gas-liquid interphase. The obtained spermatids and sperm resulted in healthy and reproductively competent offspring through microinsemination. In addition, neonatal testis tissues were cryopreserved and, after thawing, showed complete spermatogenesis in vitro. Our organ culture method could be applicable through further refinements to a variety of mammalian species, which will serve as a platform for future clinical application as well as mechanistic understanding of spermatogenesis. 相似文献

Deletion of Peg10, an imprinted gene acquired from a retrotransposon, causes early embryonic lethality 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
Ono R Nakamura K Inoue K Naruse M Usami T Wakisaka-Saito N Hino T Suzuki-Migishima R Ogonuki N Miki H Kohda T Ogura A Yokoyama M Kaneko-Ishino T Ishino F 《Nature genetics》2006,38(1):101-106
By comparing mammalian genomes, we and others have identified actively transcribed Ty3/gypsy retrotransposon-derived genes with highly conserved DNA sequences and insertion sites. To elucidate the functions of evolutionarily conserved retrotransposon-derived genes in mammalian development, we produced mice that lack one of these genes, Peg10 (paternally expressed 10), which is a paternally expressed imprinted gene on mouse proximal chromosome 6. The Peg10 knockout mice showed early embryonic lethality owing to defects in the placenta. This indicates that Peg10 is critical for mouse parthenogenetic development and provides the first direct evidence of an essential role of an evolutionarily conserved retrotransposon-derived gene in mammalian development. 相似文献

Germline KRAS and BRAF mutations in cardio-facio-cutaneous syndrome 总被引:15,自引:0,他引:15
Niihori T Aoki Y Narumi Y Neri G Cavé H Verloes A Okamoto N Hennekam RC Gillessen-Kaesbach G Wieczorek D Kavamura MI Kurosawa K Ohashi H Wilson L Heron D Bonneau D Corona G Kaname T Naritomi K Baumann C Matsumoto N Kato K Kure S Matsubara Y 《Nature genetics》2006,38(3):294-296
Cardio-facio-cutaneous (CFC) syndrome is characterized by a distinctive facial appearance, heart defects and mental retardation. It phenotypically overlaps with Noonan and Costello syndrome, which are caused by mutations in PTPN11 and HRAS, respectively. In 43 individuals with CFC, we identified two heterozygous KRAS mutations in three individuals and eight BRAF mutations in 16 individuals, suggesting that dysregulation of the RAS-RAF-ERK pathway is a common molecular basis for the three related disorders. 相似文献

Early death of mice cloned from somatic cells 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12
Ogonuki N Inoue K Yamamoto Y Noguchi Y Tanemura K Suzuki O Nakayama H Doi K Ohtomo Y Satoh M Nishida A Ogura A 《Nature genetics》2002,30(3):253-254
Here we report that the lifespan of mice cloned from somatic cells is significantly shorter than that of genotype- and sex-matched controls, most likely due to severe pneumonia and hepatic failure. This finding demonstrates the possibility of long-term deleterious effects of somatic-cell cloning, even after normal birth. 相似文献
