Abstract

In vitro production of functional spermatids has special significance in the research of spermatogenesis and the treatment of male infertility. Primordial germ cells (PGCs) are the precursors of oocyte and sperm, which generate the totipotent cells. Studies have shown that PGCs have the potential ability to develop meiotic spermatids in vitro. Here we have shown that retinoic acid (RA) leads to PGC differentiation, and SCF can improve the efficiency of induction. We indicate an efficient approach to produce haploid spermatids from chicken PGCs in the presence of RA and stem cell factor (SCF). Real-time RT-PCR assays showed that RA and SCF induced a remarkable increase in expression of SYCP1, ACR, BOULE and DCM1 of meiotic germ cells and haploid germ cells, respectively. DNA content assays revealed that RA and SCF induced a remarkable increase of haploid cells. This study provides a theoretical basis and a great animal model for spermatogenesis study.
