Dynamic expression and regulatory mechanism of TGF-β signaling in chicken embryonic stem cells differentiating into spermatogonial stem cells
The present study investigated the dynamic expression and regulatory mechanism of transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) signaling involved in embryonic stem cells (ESCs) differentiation into male germ cells. Candidate genes involved in TGF-β signaling pathway were screened from RNA-sequencing (RNA-se...

description | The present study investigated the dynamic expression and regulatory mechanism of transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) signaling involved in embryonic stem cells (ESCs) differentiation into male germ cells. Candidate genes involved in TGF-β signaling pathway were screened from RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq), which were further validated by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). Bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) was used to induce differentiation of ESCs in vitro. Inhibition of TGF-β signaling pathway was reflected by Western blot of SMAD2 and SMAD5 expression. Differentiating efficiency of germ cells was evaluated by immunofluorescence and fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS). Germ cell marker genes were assessed by qRT-PCR in the differentiation process, with activation or inhibition of TGF-β signaling pathway. In the process of in vitro induction, SMAD2 and SMAD5 were found to significantly up-regulated in BMP4 group versus the control and inhibition groups after 4 and 14 days. Expression of CKIT, CVH, DAZL, STRA8, and INTEGRIN α6 were significantly increased in the BMP4 group compared with the control group, while down-regulated in the inhibition groups. The proportion of germ cell-like cells was decreased from 17.9% to 2.2% after 4 days induction, and further decreased from 14.1% to 2.1% after 14 days induction. Correspondingly, expression of marker genes in germ cells was significantly lower. In vivo inhibition of TGF-β signaling pathway reduced germ cells formation from 5.5% to 1.6%, and down-regulated the expression of CKIT, CVH, DAZL, STRA8, and INTEGRIN α6. In conclusion, our study reveals the mechanism regulating spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) and lays the basis for further understanding of the regulatory network. |
