This study identified FGSCs in the ovaries of juvenile cynomolgus monkeys and established a long-term culture system and cell line for them. It was found that testosterone can promote self-renewal of the cells. This discovery has important implications for research in medicine and reproductive biology.
Female germline stem cells (FGSCs) have been found in mouse, rat, pig, sheep and human ovaries. However, there is no information on the isolation or long-term culture of FGSCs from non-human primates. Here, we identified the presence of FGSCs in the ovaries of juvenile (3-4-year-old) cynomolgus monkeys using DDX4 and Ki67 double immunofluorescence. Then, a long-term serum- and cell feeder-free culture system for these FGSCs was used to establish a cell line, and its biological characteristics were analyzed. We found that testosterone promoted self-renewal of the cells. This study confirmed for the first time the presence of FGSCs in the ovary of non-human primates. This culture system and cell line will be of great significance for research in medicine and reproductive biology.
