Male germ-cell development comprises primordial germ-cell (PGC) development, spermatogonium differentiation, and ensuing spermatogenesis. We present a step-by-step protocol for differentiation of mouse pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) into germline stem-cell-like cells (GSCLCs) via PGC-like cell and spermatogonium-like cell intermediates. The differentiation protocol has higher fidelity than our previous protocol. Upon transplantation into testes in vivo or culture for testis transplants, GSCLCs robustly contribute to spermatogenesis, providing a paradigm for PSC-based reconstitution of mammalian male germ-cell development. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Ishikura et al. (2021).
雄性生殖细胞的发育包括原始生殖细胞(PGC)的发育、精原细胞的分化以及随后的精子发生。我们提出了一个逐步的方案,通过 PGC 样细胞和精原细胞样细胞中间产物,将小鼠多能干细胞(PSCs)分化为生殖干细胞样细胞(GSCLCs)。该分化方案比我们之前的方案具有更高的保真度。在体内移植到睾丸或睾丸移植培养中,GSCLCs 可强有力地促进精子发生,为基于 PSC 的哺乳动物雄性生殖细胞发育重建提供了范例。如需详细了解本方案的使用和执行情况,请参阅 Ishikura 等人(2021 年)。
