| 1 | Acrylamide exposure impairs blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier function显示文摘Previous studies show that chronic acrylamide exposure leads to central and peripheral neuropathy. However, the underlying mechanisms remained unclear. In this study, we examined the permeability of the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier, and its ability to secrete transthyretin and transport leptin of rats exposed to acrylamide for 7, 14, 21 or 28 days. Transthyretin levels in cerebrospinal fluid began to decline on day 7 after acrylamide exposure. The sodium fluorescein level in cerebrospinal fluid was increased on day 14 after exposure. Evans blue concentration in cerebrospinal fluid was increased and the cerebrospinal fluid/serum leptin ratio was decreased on days 21 and 28 after exposure. In comparison, the cerebrospinal fluid/serum albumin ratio was increased on day 28 after exposure. Our findings show that acrylamide exposure damages the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier and impairs secretory and transport functions. These changes may underlie acrylamide-induced neurotoxicity. | Xue Yao Licheng Yan Lin Yao Weijun Guan Fanxu Zeng Fuyuan Cao Yanshu Zhang | 2014 | Neural Regeneration Research2014,9,5: | 4 |
| 2 | Establishment of cell lines with porcine spermatogonial stem cell properties显示文摘Background:Spermatogonial stem cells(SSCs)are capable of both self-renewal and differentiation to mature functional spermatozoa,being the only adult stem cells in the males that can transmit genetic information to the next generation.Porcine SSCs hold great value in transgenic pig production and in establishment of porcine models for regenerative medicine.However,studies and applications of porcine SSCs have been greatly hampered by the low number of SSCs in the testis as well as the lack of an ideal stable long-term culture system to propagate porcine SSCs perpetually.Results:In the present study,by lentiviral transduction of plasmids expressing the simian virus 40(SV40)large T antigen into porcine primary SSCs,we developed two immortalized cell lines with porcine SSC attributes.The established cell lines,with the expression of porcine SSC and germ cell markers UCHL1,PLZF,THY1,VASA and DAZL,could respond to retinoic acid(RA),and could colonize the recipient mouse testis without tumor formation after transplantation.The cell lines displayed infinite proliferation potential,and have now been cultured for more than 7 months and passaged for over 35 times without morphological abnormalities.Conclusions:We have for the first time established porcine SSC lines that could provide abundant cell sources for mechanistic studies on porcine SSC self-renewal and differentiation,thereby facilitating development of an optimal long-term culture system for porcine primary SSCs and their application to animal husbandry and medicine. | Yi Zheng Tongying Feng Pengfei Zhang Peipei Lei Fuyuan Li Wenxian Zeng | 2020 | Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology2020,11,3: | 2 |
| 3 | Single-cell RNA-sequencing reveals the dynamic process and novel markers in porcine spermatogenesis显示文摘Background:Spermatogenesis is the process by which male gametes are formed from spermatogonial stem cells and it is essential for the reliable transmission of genetic information between generations.To date,the dynamic transcriptional changes of defined populations of male germ cells in pigs have not been reported.Results:To characterize the atlas of porcine spermatogenesis,we profiled the transcriptomes of~16,966 testicular cells from a 150-day-old pig testis through single-cell RNA-sequencing(scRNA-seq).The scRNA-seq analysis identified spermatogonia,spermatocytes,spermatids and three somatic cell types in porcine testes.The functional enrichment analysis demonstrated that these cell types played diverse roles in porcine spermatogenesis.The accuracy of the defined porcine germ cell types was further validated by comparing the data from scRNA-seq with those from bulk RNA-seq.Since we delineated four distinct spermatogonial subsets,we further identified CD99 and PODXL2 as novel cell surface markers for undifferentiated and differentiating spermatogonia,respectively.Conclusions:The present study has for the first time analyzed the transcriptome of male germ cells and somatic cells in porcine testes through scRNA-seq.Four subsets of spermatogonia were identified and two novel cell surface markers were discovered,which would be helpful for studies on spermatogonial differentiation in pigs.The datasets offer valuable information on porcine spermatogenesis,and pave the way for identification of key molecular markers involved in development of male germ cells. | Lingkai Zhang Fuyuan Li Peipei Lei Ming Guo Ruifang Liu Ling Wang Taiyong Yu Yinghua Lv Tao Zhang Wenxian Zeng Hongzhao Lu Yi Zheng | 2022 | Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology2022,13,2: | 2 |
| 4 | Transcriptome-wide Dynamics of m^(6)A mRNA Methylation During Porcine Spermatogenesis显示文摘Spermatogenesis is a continual process that occurs in the testes,in which diploid spermatogonial stem cells(SSCs)differentiate and generate haploid spermatozoa.This highly efficient and intricate process is orchestrated at multiple levels.N^(6)-methyladenosine(m^(6)A),an epigenetic modification prevalent in mRNAs,is implicated in the transcriptional regulation during spermatogenesis.However,the dynamics of m^(6)A modification in non-rodent mammalian species remains unclear.Here,we systematically investigated the profile and role of m^(6)A during spermatogenesis in pigs.By analyzing the transcriptomic distribution of m^(6)A in spermatogonia,spermatocytes,and round spermatids,we identified a globally conserved m^(6)A pattern between porcine and murine genes with spermatogenic function.We found that m^(6)A was enriched in a group of genes that specifically encode the metabolic enzymes and regulators.In addition,transcriptomes in porcine male germ cells could be subjected to the m^(6)A modification.Our data show that m^(6)A plays the regulatory roles during spermatogenesis in pigs,which is similar to that in mice.Illustrations of this point are three genes(SETDB1,FOXO1,and FOXO3)that are crucial to the determination of the fate of SSCs.To the best of our knowledge,this study for the first time uncovers the expression profile and role of m^(6)A during spermatogenesis in large animals and provides insights into the intricate transcriptional regulation underlying the lifelong male fertility in non-rodent mammalian species. | Zidong Liu Xiaoxu Chen Pengfei Zhang Fuyuan Li Lingkai Zhang Xueliang Li Tao Huang Yi Zheng Taiyong Yu Tao Zhang Wenxian Zeng Hongzhao Lu Yinghua Lv | 2023 | Genomics, Proteomics & Bioinformatics2023,21,4: | 1 |
