Derivation of buffalo embryonic stem-like cells from in vitro-produced blastocysts on homologous and heterologous feeder cells.


ABSTRACT: PURPOSE: The aim of the present study is to compare the ability of homologous and heterologous embryonic fibroblast feeder layers to support isolation and proliferation of buffalo ES-like cells generated from hatched and expanded blastocysts produced by in vitro fertilization and characterization of derived cells through expression of pluripotent markers. METHODS: Embryonic stem cells were derived from hatched and expanded blastocysts through intact blastocyst culture and enzymatic method respectively and compared for proliferation rate on homologous (buffalo) and heterologous feeder layers (goat and sheep). RESULTS: A total of 69 hatched and 83 expanded blastocysts were used for isolation of inner cell masses which were seeded on buffalo, goat and sheep embryonic feeder layers. Following seeding, attachment rate, primary colony formation rate and survival to maximum number of passages were observed to be higher on homologous feeder layers. CONCLUSIONS: Upon comparison of different feeder layer cells for derivation and maintenance of buffalo ES-like cells from hatched and expanded blastocysts, buffalo embryonic fibroblast cells were able to provide a better environment for maintaining pluripotency in culture conditions.
