Niches are specialized tissue microenvironments that control stem cells functioning. The bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell niche defines a location within the marrow in which mesenchymal stem cells are retained and produce new cells throughout life. Deciphering the signaling mechanisms by which the niche regulates stem cell fate will facilitate the use of these cells for therapy. Recent studies, by using state‐of‐the‐art methodologies, including sophisticated in vivo inducible genetic techniques, such as lineage‐tracing Cre/loxP mediated systems, in combination with pharmacological inhibition, provide evidence that sensory neuron is an important component of the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell niche. Strikingly, knockout of a specific receptor in sensory neurons blocked stem cell function in the bone marrow. The knowledge arising from these discoveries will be crucial for stem cell manipulation in the future. Here, we review recent progress in our understanding of sensory nerves biology in the stem cell niche.
Se utilizó plasma seminal equino en un dilutor de lactosa-EDTA para la criopreservación de espermatozoides epididimarios de equinos. Se trabajó con 12 pares de testículos de caballos beneficiados. Se separaron los epidídimos y se utilizó la técnica de lavado retrógrado para obtener los espermatozoides, inyectando 10 ml del dilutor lactosa-EDTA por el conducto deferente. Se utilizaron las muestras con más de 30% de motilidad progresiva. Las muestras fueron diluidas 1:1 con el diluyente lactosa-EDTA-plasma seminal y se envasó en pajillas de 0.5 ml a una concentración 386.3 x 106, y fueron congeladas en nitrógeno líquido y almacenadas por 10 días. Los valores obtenidos para las muestras frescas y descongeladas fueron: motilidad progresiva: 43.3 y 16.4% (p<0.05), viabilidad: 48.3 y 40.5%, morfología normal: 67.1 y 56.5%, e integridad de la membrana plasmática (HOS): 48.3 y 45.5%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
