Abstract: | Abstract: Germ–cell transplantation is a powerful tool for studying gametogenesis in many species. We previously showed that spermatogonia transplanted into the peritoneal cavity of trout hatchlings were able to colonize recipient gonads, and produced fully functional sperm and eggs in synchrony with the germ cells of the recipient. An in vitro-culture system enabling spermatogonia to expand, when combined with transplantation, would be valuable in both basic and applied biology. To this end, we optimized culture conditions for type A spermatogonia in the present study using immature rainbow trout at 8–10 month of age. Spermatogonial survival and mitotic activity were improved during culture in Leibovitz's L-15 medium (pH 7.8) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum at 10°C compared with culture under standard conditions for salmonids (Hank's MEM (pH 7.3) supplemented with 25 mM HEPES and 5% FBS, and culture at 20°C). Elimination of testicular somatic cells promoted spermatogonial mitotic activity. In addition, insulin, trout embryonic extract, and basic fibroblast growth factor promoted the mitosis of purified spermatogonia in an additive manner. Mitotic activity increased nearly sevenfold over 19 days of culture compared with growth factor-free conditions and was maintained for >1 month. Furthermore, the cultured spermatogonia could colonize and proliferate in recipient gonads following transplantation. This study represents the first step towards establishing a cell line that can be transplanted for use in surrogate broodstock technology and cell-mediated gene-transfer systems. |
