Problems solved by technology

These studies suggest that testicular mesenchymal stem cells in rats can be cultured and expanded in vitro, but the current method has many disadvantages such as the small amount of cells obtained, the type of cells is not clear, and the lack of cell identification standards, which obviously restricts clinical application. further in-depth research
At present, there are no relevant research reports on the separation and identification of testicular mesenchymal stem cells using nestin as a marker

Embodiment 1

[0029] Example 1: Isolation of Nestin-positive Leydig cells from mouse adults

[0030] In this example, testicular mesenchymal stem cells expressing Nestin were isolated from mouse adult testes.

[0031] Selection of Nestin-GFP mice: The transgenic mice used in this experiment were from the specific marker Nestin-GFP transgenic mouse model (Yamaguchi M, Saito H , Suzuki M, Mori K. Visualization of neurogenesis in the central nervous system using nestin promoter-GFP transgenic mice. Neuroreport 2000.11:1991-1996). However, other Nestin-GFP mice can also be used, and their common characteristics are: a plasmid that expresses GFP driven by a Nestin promoter, and the promoter region including the upstream translation site is 2.5kb long and contains the second exon The enhancer region from 3' to the 5' of the third intron is 1.8kb long, and the polyadenylation site is connected with enhanced GFP (EGFP) cDNA.

[0032] The present invention utilizes the research of the animal model...

Embodiment 2

[0037] Example 2: Identification of nestin-positive testicular mesenchymal stem cells self-renewal and proliferation ability

[0038] In this example, on the basis of Example 1, the self-renewal and proliferation abilities of the obtained nestin-positive testicular mesenchymal stem cells were identified.

[0039] a. Identification of the self-renewal ability of nestin-positive testicular stromal stem cells:

[0040] Single nestin-positive cells sorted from mouse adult testes were placed in each single well of a 6-well plate for culture. The components of the culture medium include ITS added with 1nM dexamethasone, 1ng / ml LIF, 5mg / liter insulin, 5mg / litertransferrin, 5ug / liter sodium selenite in DMEM-F12 medium, 5% chicken embryo extract, 0.1mM β-mercaptoethanol , 1% non-essential amino acids, 1% N2, 2% B27 (Gibco), 20ng / ml bFGF, 20ng / ml EGF, 20ng / ml PDGFBB, 20ng / ml OSM. In the above medium, the sorted primary cells grow adherently. Passage after 7 days, form spherical growt...

Embodiment 3

[0047] Example 3: Observing the role of nestin-positive testicular mesenchymal stem cells in tissue repair in vivo

[0048] a. Establishment of rat EDS model:

[0049]The ability of stem cells to regenerate damaged tissues in the body is an important feature. Therefore, we investigated whether nestin-positive Leydig stem cells could promote functional recovery of Leydig cells in a rat model of Leydig cell loss. Previous studies have shown that the cytotoxin ethane dimethylesulfonate (EDS) may deplete Leydig cells after 4 days of treatment. We selected three groups of adult rats, which were normal group, model group and cell group. Rats in the model group and the cell group were inoculated with EDS, and 4 days later, PKH26-labeled 1x10 6 Nestin-positive Leydig stem cells were infused into the testicular parenchyma. Serum testosterone concentrations were measured on day 10 of transplantation. Figure 8 showed that nestin-positive testicular mesenchymal stem cell transplanta...

Abstract

The invention discloses a separation and culture method of testicular mesenchymal stem cells for expressing nidogen and an application of the testicular mesenchymal stem cells. The separation and culture method comprises the following steps: providing a nidogen-green fluorescent protein transgenic mice model adopting C57BL / 6 as the genetic background; raising the mice for one or more than one week, separating the testis, removing envelopes and blood vessels, exposing the seminiferous tubule, then digesting by using collagenase IV, and filtering digested cell suspension; and sorting by a flow cytometer to obtain single cells and collecting the cells for expressing green fluorescent protein with the fluorescence intensity being 10 times or more than 10 times of the fluorescence intensity of negative control cells so as to separate the testicular mesenchymal stem cells for expressing the nidogen. The invention provides testicular mesenchymal stem / progenitor cells separated according to the preparation and culture method and self-renewed and proliferated cells obtained by culture in a culture medium and provides the application of the cells in preparing a composition for treating related diseases with low testosterone level.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of stem cells and tissue engineering, in particular to a method for separating and culturing mesenchymal stem cells expressing nestin and its application. Background technique [0002] With the process of social aging, the health of middle-aged and elderly people has received extensive international attention. Late-onset hypogonadism (LOH) has become one of the important diseases seriously affecting the health and quality of life of middle-aged and elderly men. The core mechanism of LOH is that Leydig cells that secrete testosterone decrease in number and function with age, resulting in a lack of androgen in the body. Insufficient testosterone can eventually lead to a decline in libido and sexual function, and can also cause symptoms such as fatigue, loss of muscle volume, increase in fat volume, osteoporosis, and anemia. At the same time, it affects mood and mental decline, seriously affects quality of lif...
