Objective: Some reports have indicated that conditioned medium from growing mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) provides a supportive condition for small follicles growing, oocyte maturation, and following embryo growth. The aim of this study is assessing in vitro maturation (IVM) and consequent fertilization (IVF) outcome of immature mouse oocytes using human embryonic stem cells conditioned medium (HESCM).
Materials And Methods: In this experimental study, 240 germinal vesicle (GV) oocytes were took from NMRI female mice, aged 4-6 weeks, 48 hours before injection of 5 IU pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (PMSG). 120 GV oocytes without cumulus cells were cultured in each of the groups. 120 GV were cultured in HESCM as test groups and also 120 GV cultured in human embryonic stem cells medium (HESM) as control groups. After evaluating the metaphase II (MII) oocyte maturation rate at 8, 16 and 24 hours, the MII oocytes subsequently were fertilized and the two-cell embryo development rate was recorded at days 1, 2, and 3. Statistical analysis was performed by using the generalized estimating equations (GEE) method that calculated their rate ratio.
Results: Our data indicated there are significant differences between the maturation rates in HESCM and HESM (P=0.004), also the two-cell embryo development was significant between two culture media (P=0.00).
Conclusion: Similar to some other studies, the secretome of the HESCM showed a significant impact on the IVM outcomes in mice.

The pluripotent stem cell (PSC)-derived human primordial germ cell-like cells (PGCLCs) are a cell culture-derived surrogate model of embryonic primordial germ cells. Upon differentiation of PSCs to PGCLCs, multiple loci of HML-2, the hominoid-specific human endogenous retrovirus (HERV), are strongly activated, which is necessary for PSC differentiation to PGCLCs. In PSCs, strongly activated loci of HERV-H family HERVs create chromatin contacts, which are required for the pluripotency.

Regenerative medicine and tissue engineering aim to restore or replace impaired organs and tissues using cell transplantation supported by scaffolds. Recently scientists are focusing on developing new biomaterials that optimize cellular attachment, migration, proliferation, and differentiation. Nanoparticles, such as graphene oxide (GO), have emerged as versatile materials due to their high surface-to-volume ratio and unique chemical properties, such as electrical conductivity and flexibility.

The increasing emphasis on animal welfare and ethics, as well as the considerable time and cost involved with animal testing, have prompted the replacement of many aspects of animal testing with alternative methods. In the area of developmental toxicity, the embryonic stem cell test (EST) has played a significant role. The EST evaluates toxicity using mouse embryonic stem cells and somatic cells and observes the changes in heartbeat after cardiac differentiation.

Zygotic genome activation (ZGA) is critical for early embryo development and is meticulously regulated by epigenetic modifications. H3K4me3 is a transcription-permissive histone mark preferentially found at promoters, but its distribution across genome features remains incompletely understood. In this study, we investigated the genome-wide enrichment of H3K4me3 during early embryo development and embryonic stem cells (ESCs) in both sheep and mice.

The present study investigates the influence of nitrosamines and etoposide on mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) in a differentiation state- and biological age-dependent manner. The genotoxic effects of the agents on both neonatal and adult stem cell populations after treatment, before, or during the course of differentiation, and the sensitivity of the different MSC types to different concentrations of MNU or etoposide were assessed. Hereby, the multipotent differentiation capacity of MSCs into osteoblasts, adipocytes, and chondrocytes was analyzed.
