The Lin28 Expression in Stallion Testes
The molecular markers for specific germ cell stages can be utilized for identifying, monitoring, and separating a particular stage of germ cells. The RNA-binding protein Lin28 is expressed in gonocytes of human fetal testes. The Lin28 expression is restricted to a very small population of spermatogonial cells in human, mice, and monkey. The main objective of this study was to investigate the ex...
متن کاملThe pluripotency factor LIN28 in monkey and human testes: a marker for spermatogonial stem cells?
Mammalian spermatogenesis is maintained by spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs). However, since evidentiary assays and unequivocal markers are still missing in non-human primates (NHPs) and man, the identity of primate SSCs is unknown. In contrast, in mice, germ cell transplantation studies have functionally demonstrated the presence of SSCs. LIN28 is an RNA-binding pluripotent stem cell factor, wh...
متن کاملFreezing stallion semen with the new Cáceres extender improves post thaw sperm quality and diminishes stallion-to-stallion variability.
Ejaculates from 7 stallions were split and simultaneously frozen in three different extenders, INRA 96 egg yolk glycerol, Ghent and the newly developed extender Caceres. After thawing, samples were evaluated for motility (CASA system) sperm membrane integrity and early membrane changes (YoPro-1/Eth staining), acrosome integrity (FICT-PNA), and mitochondrial membrane potential (JC-1) (flow cytom...
متن کاملSperm Function Tests in the Stallion
Introduction: There are many tests that describe semen quality in the stallion which include sperm motility, morphology, and longevity of motility and determination of total sperm numbers. In addition, recently, the flow cytometer (FC) has been used to evaluate various sperm compartment following staining with specific fluorescent probes that bind to different compartments of the sperm. Our lab...
متن کاملReproductive behavior of the stallion.
The reproductive behavior of semi-wild and feral horses is described briefly in order to provide a background on the reproductive patterns and the specific behavioral elements comprising courtship and mating in the horse. The reproductive behavior of the domestic stallion is discussed at length as are various breeding conditions and normal breeding performance. Finally, sexual behavior problems...
