Method for in-vitro culture of chicken small yellow follicles
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of poultry follicle in-vitro culture, in particular to a method for in-vitro culture of chicken small yellow follicles.
Background
Most of the follicles of the laying hens are blocked in the follicular development process, only a few follicles can be further developed and matured through follicular selection, and the small yellow follicular stage is a key stage for further development and accumulation of vitelline substances from a white follicular bank. Unlike mammals, the synthesis and secretion of various steroid hormones in the follicular development process of poultry require the co-participation of granulosa cells and membranous cells of the follicles, which are a continuous and complex process, the follicular development of poultry is subject to various effects of microenvironment growth factors, steroid hormones, etc. related thereto in addition to the granulosa cells and membranous cells of the follicles, which have an important role in the follicular development.
Current follicular cell research is limited primarily to the inability to accurately replicate phenotypic and genetic characteristics in vivo, and conventional methods of in vitro culture of poultry follicular primary granulosa cells and membranous cells are inadequate to reflect the actual changes in follicular development in poultry.
Compared with the conventional cell culture, the in-vitro culture model of the chicken follicles has lower cost, higher efficiency and shorter time consumption, and attempts to simulate the change of the follicles in the chicken in different states, so that the integrity of the tissue is maintained as much as possible to reflect the real process of the chicken follicles in the development process.
Therefore, the establishment of an efficient in-vitro follicular culture model of small yellow follicles has important significance for researching the development of poultry follicles and the mechanism of micro-environmental factors on the regulation and control of the poultry follicles.
