Abstract: Pluripotent mesenchymal stem-like cell lines were established from lungs of 3–4 months old aborted fetus. The cells present the high ex vivo expansion potential of MSC, a typical fibroblast-like morphology and proliferate up to 15 passages without displaying clear changes in morphology. Immunological localization and flow cytometry analyses showed that these cells are positive for OCT4, c-Kit, CD11, CD29, CD44, telomerase, CD106, CD105, CD166, and SSEA1, weakly expression or negative for SSEA1, SSEA3, SSEA4, CD34, CD105 and CD106. These cells can give rise to the adipogenic as evidenced by accumulation of lipid-rich vacuoles within cells identified by Oil-red O when they were induced with 0.5mM isobutylmethylxanthine, 200μM indomethacin, 10
−6 M dexamethasone, and 10μg/ml of insulin in high-glucose DMEM. Osteogenic lineage cells were generated in 0.1μM dexamethasone, 50μg/ml ascorbic acid, 10mM β-glycerophosphate, which are shaped as the osteoblastic morphology, expression of alkaline phosphatase (AP), and the formation of a mineralized extracellular matrix identified by Alizarin Red staining. Neural cells are observed when the cultures were induced with 2-mercapometal, which are positive for nestin, NF-100, MBP and GFAP. Additionally, embryoid bodies (EBs) and sperm like cells are obtained in vitro differentiation of these lung MSCs induced with 10−5 M retinoic acid (RA). These results demonstrated that these MSCs are pluripotent and may provide an in vitro model to study germ-cell formation and also as a potential source of sperms for male infertility.

Eif2s3y (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2, subunit 3, structural gene Y-linked, Eif2s3y) is an essential gene for spermatogenesis. Early studies have shown that Eif2s3y can promote the proliferation of spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) and can replace the Y chromosome together with sex-determining region Y (Sry) to transform SSCs into round spermatozoa. We injected lentiviral particles into the seminiferous tubules of mouse testes by sterile surgery surgically to establish overexpressing Eif2s3y testes. And then the mice were intraperitoneally injected with LPS to established the model of testis inflammation. Through RNA sequencing, qRT–PCR analysis, Western blot, co-culture etc., we found that Eif2s3y alleviated LPS-induced damage in mouse testes and maintained spermatogenesis. In testes with Eif2s3y overexpression, the seminiferous tubules were more regularly organized after exposure to LPS compared with the control. Eif2s3y performs its function by negatively regulating Adamts5 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase containing a thrombospondin-1 motif), an extracellular matrix-degrading enzyme. ADAMTS5 shows a disruptive effect when the testis is exposed to LPS. Overexpression of Eif2s3y inhibited the TLR4/NFκB signaling pathway in the testis in response to LPS. Generally, our research shows that Eif2s3y protects the testis from LPS and maintains spermatogenesis by negatively regulating A damts5. • Overexpression of Eif2s3y alleviates testicular injury induced by LPS. • Eif2s3y is a negative regulator of Adamts5. • Eif2s3y alleviates LPS-induced germ cell damage by negatively regulating Adamts5. • Eif2s3y maintains testicular immune homeostasis through negative regulation of Adamts5.

Metalloproteinases include matrix metalloproteinases and disintegrin metalloproteinases. They are important members of the ECM degradation and reconstruction process and are associated with tissue development and disease. The ECM is a three-dimensional network of large molecules consisting of a variety of proteins. It is a physical scaffold for organs, and all types of cells can be found within the ECM. The testicle, where sperm are produced, is an organ that is constantly in dynamic flux. Metalloproteinases can regulate testicular tissue development and the maturation of sperm by affecting the ECM. Metalloproteinase disorders can lead to cryptorchidism, azoospermia, poor semen quality and other diseases. As a member of the metalloproteinase family, ADAMTS plays an important role in testicular slippage to the scrotum. ADAM is involved in the fertilization process, and excessive MMP can damage the BTB. In the testis, metalloproteinase stability represents the stability of the extracellular microenvironment in which germ cells are located and is associated with reproductive function. Metalloproteinases have a definite relationship with male reproduction, but the underlying mechanism is still unclear. This paper summarizes the literature on various metalloproteinases in testicular tissue physiology and pathology to elucidate their role in reproductive function and male reproductive mechanisms. • MMPs are associated with quality of semen, low concentrations of MMPs in semen lead to low fertilization success rate. • MMP9 destroys TJ between Sertoli and plays a bad role in disease, which is also necessary under physiological conditions. • ADAMs participate in the process of sperm-egg binding in the form of complex, and regulate the apoptosis of germ cells. • ADAMTSs regulates testis formation and spermatogenesis.

XBP1 is a transcription factor that plays a central role in controlling cellular responses to endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS). Under stress conditions, the transcriptionally active form of XBP1 is generated by splicing of XBP1 mRNA by the ER-resident protein inositol-requiring enzyme-1α (IRE1α). This study aimed to investigate the role of XBP1 in male reproductive disorders. XBP1s-overexpressing goat spermatogonial stem cells (gSSCs) showed higher proliferative ability in vitro and in vivo. These cells also showed higher antioxidant capacity. In comparison, XBP1 knockdown significantly suppressed proliferation. Further analysis showed that XBP1 could stimulate the secretion of IL-6 from macrophages. Overall, the results indicate that XBP1s functions to enhance the proliferation ability and antioxidant capacity of gSSCs, potentially through a mechanism involving the regulation of gSSCs by macrophages. • The male reproductive dysfunction caused by LPS mainly damages germ cells except for spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs). • XBP1 was highly expressed in SSCs in LPS model. • The XBP1s-overexpressing gSSC (goat spermatogonial stem cell) presents the higher proliferative ability in vitro and in vivo. • XBP1 also affected the SSC by regulating the secretion of macrophages IL-6.

Heat stress is known to negatively impact the reproductive process of livestock, which inevitably leads to a decline in animal fertility. Nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is an inducible transcription factor, which is essential for maintaining redox signal transmission against oxidative stress. However, there is no reliable research on the response mechanism of Sertoli Cells (SCs) against heat stress and the activation of Nrf2 when SCs are exposed to heat stress. Here, we used primary mouse SCs and SCs line TM4, along with Nrf2 specific inhibitor to determine the reaction mechanism of SCs to maintain intracellular redox homeostasis and self-survival by activating Nrf2. We found that acute heat stress only affected the vitality of SCs and the expression of functional molecules (tight junction-associated proteins and lactate dehydrogenase A [LDHA]) but did not cause cell apoptosis. When Nrf2 was inhibited, more cell death occurred in TM4 cells post heat stress treatment, along with a greater decrease in cell viability and a significant increase in intracellular ROS levels. Our study clarified for the first time the protective effect of Nrf2 activation on heat stress-induced SCs damage. It explained the possible reasons or mechanisms involved in the survival of SCs, the critical protective cells in the testis, which were not affected by heat stress. This study further improved the response mechanism of SCs in the reproductive injury caused by a high-temperature environment. • Acute heat stress only affects the vitality of SCs and the expression of functional molecules. •The Keap1-Nrf2 signaling pathway helps SCs maintain redox homeostasis and self-survival. •Inhibiting Nrf2 increases the death of SCs and reduces the antioxidant response.

Abstract Jak-Stat pathway is the first pathway identified to stimulate spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) self-renewal and maintenance activity. Recent studies have showed that stat3 a crucial gene implicated in this pathway can regulate self-renewal in male germline stem cell. In our previous study, we demonstrated that miR-19b-3p induces cell proliferation and reduces heterochromatin through Plzf which also regulates the balance between cell self-renewal and differentiation. Because miRNA can target several genes and to understand more about Plzf, a crucial transcription factor of SSCs, we performed microarray and found that miR-19b-3p integrate Jak-Stat through Plzf to regulate cell self-renewal. Our results demonstrated that miR-19b-3p induces Jak-Stat when Plzf is downregulated; overexpression of Plzf reversed the trend and shown an existence of feedback (-/+) between Plzf and GHR. The cell self-renewal markers CD49f, GFRα1, Oct4 and cKIT analyzed in the both groups miR-19b-3p and Plzf-overexpressing compared to their respective control confirm miR-19b-3p regulates cell pluripotency and self-renewal in goat male germline stem cells through Plzf. Together our finding revels that miR-19b-3p control Jak-Stat signaling through Plzf. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this study, we used the polysaccharide ulvan from the green macroalgae Ulva fenestrata to prepare the hydrogel for chronic diabetic wound healing. A natural polysaccharide-based hydrogel matrix (UC-DPA-Ag hydrogel) was prepared using ulvan dialdehyde, chitosan, dopamine (DPA) and silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs). Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell lyophilized powder (hUC-MSCs) was loaded into the hydrogel to develop a novel chronic diabetic wound healing material (UC-DPA-Ag@hUC-MSCs). The resulting hydrogel features adequate mechanical properties, swelling capability, adhesiveness, antioxidant, antibacterial ability, and promoting cell proliferation and migration. In vivo wound healing in type II diabetic mellitus mouse wound model showed that hUC-MSCs loaded UC-DPA-Ag hydrogel could accelerate wound healing effectively. This advanced hydrogel provides a facile and effective way for diabetic chronic wound management. Furthermore, it offers a new route for the utilizing Ulva as a valuable biomaterial for the global and large-scale production of valued added biomaterials. Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells seeded ulva fenestrata derivative driven functional hydrogel was developed as a chronic diabetic wound healing dressing. In vivo experiments showed that as-prepared dressing could accelerate diabetic mice wound healing. We demonstrated that incorporation of hUC-MSCs into ulvan hydrogel markedly upregulated capase3-dependent BCL2 level, also can activate PCNA and AKT, as well as increase proliferation and migration rate of HUVECs.

DNA methylation and histone methylation are critical for mammalian development. Ten-eleven translocation (Tet1), a key regulator of DNA methylation, has been identified as a key enzyme for the activation of DNA demethylation; histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9) and 27 (H3K27) methylation repress gene expression. Significant progress on the biological functions of Tet proteins has been made in mice and humans. However, their expression pattern and function in the male germ cells in the dairy goat testis are still unclear. The present study described the expression pattern of Tet1, H3K9, and H3K27 in the dairy goat testis and cultured goat spermatogonia stem cells (gSSCs). The results showed that Tet1 was weakly expressed in the dairy goat's testis compared to other organ tissues. Tet1, 5-hydroxymethylcytosine, H3K9, and H3K27 expressions were positive and dynamically changing during spermatogenesis; however, they showed weak expression in neonate stage in vivo . Tet1 and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine showed low expression in gSSCs in vitro in differentiated cultures. These will provide new perspectives for DNA methylation/demethylation and better regulation of epigenetic modifications in gSSCs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: In mammalian testis, male germline stem cells (mGSCs) are originated from primordial germ cells and developed into spermatocyte and spermatid. In our previous studies, we had isolated a pluripotent mGSCs from goat testes and tested their pluripotency and differentiation potential in vitro and in vivo, which revealed that the isolated and cultured dairy goat mGSCs maintained the characteristics of mGSCs. However, Thy1, a marker of mGSCs, was not examined in detail. In this study, the dairy goat mGSCs were purified by differential plating followed by magnetic-activated cell sorting (MACS) using Thy1 antibody. The quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and immunofluorescence analyses revealed that the transcription and expression of Thy1, CD49f, Plzf, Oct4, Gfra1, and Vasa were higher in Thy1-positive cells when compared with Thy1-negative cells. The detection results of culturing dairy goat mGSCs indicated that the Thy1-positive cells maintained the characteristics of mGSCs, grew relatively faster than Thy1-negative cells, and the percentage of alkaline phosphatase-positive cells and colonies were significantly higher in Thy1-positive mGSCs than Thy1-negative cells. Collectively, these results indicate that THY1 is a marker of undifferentiated spermatogonia in goat testes, the technique of magnetic-activated cell sorting using Thy1 antibody could be an efficient method to enrich mGSCs in goat.

• Folic acid promotes the proliferation of pPSCs by binding to FOLRα. • Folic acid increases the efficiency of directed differentiation of pPSCs into insulin-producing cells in vitro. • Canonical Wnt and ERK signaling pathway participate in the regulation of folic acid on proliferation and differentiation of pPSCs. Porcine pancreatic stem cells (pPSCs) can be induced to differentiate into insulin-producing cells in vitro and thus serve as a major cells source for β-cell regeneration. However, this application is limited by the weak cell proliferation ability and low insulin induction efficiency. In this study, we explored the role of folic acid in the proliferation of pPSCs and the formation of insulin-secreting cells. We found that FA-treated pPSCs cells had a high EDU positive rate, and the proliferation marker molecules PCNA, CyclinD1 and c-Myc were up-regulated, while the expression of folate receptor α (FOLRα) was up-regulated. In further research, interference FOLRα or adding canonical Wnt signaling pathway or ERK signaling pathway inhibitors could significantly inhibit the effect of FA on pPSCs proliferation. Meanwhile, during the differentiation of pPSCs into insulin-secreting cells, we found that the maturation marker genes Insulin, NKX6.1, MafA, and NeuroD1 was upregulated in insulin-secreting cell masses differentiationed from pPSCs after FA treatment, and the functional molecules Insulin and C-peptide were increased, the ability to secrete insulin in response to high glucose was also increased. With the addition of Wnt and ERK signaling pathway inhibitors, the pro-differentiation effect of FA was weakened. In conclusion, FA promotes the proliferation of pPSCs by binding to folate receptor α (FOLRα) and increase the efficiency of directed differentiation of pPSCs into insulin-producing cells by regulating canonical Wnt and ERK signaling pathway. This study lays theoretical foundation for solving the bottleneck in the treatment of diabetes with stem cell transplantation in future. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 subunit 3 and structural gene Y-linked (Eif2s3y) gene, the gene encoding eIF2γ protein, is globally expressed in all tissues and plays important roles in regulating global and gene-specific mRNA translation initiation. It has been noticed that Eif2s3y plays crucial roles in spermatogenesis, however, the mechanism remains unclear. In the current study, transgenic Eif2s3y mice were generated to test our hypothesis that the Eif2s3y promotes the proliferation of spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs). Transgenic Eif2s3y mouse had enhanced SSCs proliferation rate when compared to WT mouse. Interesting, the testes from transgenic Eif2s3y mouse had increased Active-β-catenin protein expression and higher expression pattern of Wnt ligand Wnt6 when compared to testes from WT mouse. This study revealed novel roles of Eif2s3y in the activation Wnt6/β-catenin signal pathway in SSCs. Taken together, we identified Eif2s3y - Wnt6 -β-catenin as a critical pathway in the regulation of spermatogenesis, which provides a platform for investigating the molecular mechanisms of male reproduction. • The transgenic Eif2s3y mouse showed enhances spermatogonial cell proliferation. • Eif2s3y regulates Wnt6 of SSCs and Sertoli cells to promote the proliferation of spermatogonial stem cells. • Eif2s3y - Wnt6 -β-catenin as a critical pathway in the regulation of spermatogenesis.

Porcine pancreatic stem cells (pPSCs) can be induced to insulin-secreting cells and therefore considered the most promising seeding cells for curing human diabetes in future. However, insufficient pPSCs number is one of the bottleneck problems before its clinical application. SerpinB1 is a serine protease inhibitor in neutrophils and can directly promote the proliferation of β cells. Whether SerpinB1 is involved in pPSC proliferation and differentiation remains unknown. The effects of SerpinB1 on pPSCs proliferation were measured by Cell Counting Kit-8, 5-ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine, qRT-PCR, western blot, and flow cytometry assays. We found that pPSCs did not efficiently reach the S phase when SerpinB1 expression was knocked down with short hairpin RNA (sh-SerpinB1), the expression of Cyclin D1 , CDK-2 , and PCNA also decreased. Meanwhile, cell viability and proliferation ability were both declined. Further analyses showed that the expression level of phosphorylated STAT3/STAT3was downregulated, along with an upregulation of p53 and p21. We used a two-step induction method to induce pPSCs to insulin-secreting cells and found that SerpinB1 expression in insulin-secreting cells was higher than in pPSCs. Meanwhile, the protein expression level of phosphorylated STAT3/STAT3 was increased while p53 and p21 was decreased in induced insulin-secreting cells in comparison with control cells. The insulin-secreting cells derived from the sh-SerpinB1 cells secreted less insulin and showed poor sensitivity to high glucose than control group. However, the insulin-secreting cells derived from the ov-SerpinB1 cells has a quite contrary tendency. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that SerpinB1 promotes the proliferation of pPSCs through the STAT3 signaling pathway, and SerpinB1 is a key factor for maintaining the viability of pPSCs during the transition to insulin-secreting cells.
