Fetal bovine serum (FBS) has been reported to affect chondrocyte biosynthesis in monolayer culture. Insulin-Transferrin-Selenium (ITS) was investigated as a partial replacement for FBS during in vitro culture of rabbit articular chondrocytes in three-dimensional alginate scaffold. Chondrocyte-seeded alginate hydrogels were cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium plus 10% FBS, 1% ITS plus 2% FBS, 1% ITS plus 4% FBS, or 1% ITS plus 8% FBS. At designed time point, the Chondrocyte-seeded alginate hydrogels were harvested and evaluated with histological staining, immunohistochemistry, and quantitative gene expression analysis. Viable cell density and cell division were also evaluated. Chondrocytes biosynthesis and cell division in 1% ITS with 2% FBS medium were similar to that in medium added with 10% FBS. For a total culture of 3 weeks, phenotypic gene expression in chondrocyte-seeded hydrogels was maintained at high levels in medium with 1% ITS plus 2% FBS, while it was decreased to varying degrees in the other groups. In conclusion, with 1% ITS, medium with 2% FBS could promote chondrocyte biosynthesis and cell division, and prevented cell dedifferentiation in three-dimensional alginate scaffolds.

Objective: The aim of this study was evaluate the effect of Bacillus subtilis on Candida albicans biofilm formation and filamentation by evaluating the gene expression of ALS3, HWP1, BCR1, EFG1 and TEC1. Material and Methods: Mixed (C. albicans / B.subtilis) and monotypic biofilms were cultured in plates at 37°C for 48 h under shaking for counting viable cells (CFU / mL) and analysis of gene expression by real-time PCR. The C. albicans filamentation assay was performed in medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum at 37°C for 6 hours. Data was analysed by t-Student and Mann– Whitney tests. Results: B. subtilis reduced the biofilm formation of C. albicans in 1 log when cultured in the same environment (p<0.0001). In addition, it significantly reduced the yeast -hypha transition affecting the morphology of C. albicans. Among all of the analyzed genes, the ALS3 and HWP1 genes were the most affected, achieving 111.1- and 333.3- fold decreases in the C. albicans biofilms associated with B. subtilis, respectively. Conclusion: B. subtilis reduced the biofilm formation and filamentation of C. albicans by negatively regulating the ALS3, HWP1, BCR1, EFG1 and TEC1 genes that are essential for the production of biofilm and hyphae.KeywordsBacillus subtilis; Candida albicans; Biofilm; Filamentation; Gene expression.

Surface Repair

Ovarian cancers are primarily derived from a single layer of epithelial cells surrounding the ovary, the ovarian surface epithelium (OSE). Ovarian surface proliferation is associated with ovulation and has been suggested to play a role in ovarian surface transformation and cancer progression. Aspects of ovarian surface repair after ovulation include proliferation, migration, and surface regeneration. To study ovarian surface repair, an organ culture system was developed that supports the proliferation, encapsulation, and repair of an artificially wounded surface. Wounded mouse ovaries embedded into an alginate hydrogel matrix have normal OSE cells as demonstrated by expression of cytokeratin 8, vimentin, N-cadherin, and a lack of E-cadherin. Normal OSE cells began proliferating and migrating around wounded surfaces after 1 d of culture. Organ cultures were propagated in medium supplemented with BSA and fetal bovine serum to determine optimal growth conditions. BSA cultured organs had OSE that proliferated significantly more than controls until d 4, whereas fetal bovine serum cultured organs had significantly more surface area encapsulated by OSE. Overall, a three-dimensional ovarian organ culture supports the growth of normal OSE in response to artificial wounding and provides a novel system for investigating wound repair as it relates to the possible role of ovulation and ovarian cancer.

Создание эффективной унифицированной системы дозревания донорских ооцитов обеспечит повышение результативности инновационных клеточных репродуктивных технологий. В исследовании проведен сравнительный мониторинг показателеймейотического созревания ооцитов коров, созревших в различных системах, дополненных структурными компонентами фолликулов (СКФ стенки фолликулов, клетки гранулезы, белки) и фолликулярной жидкостью,а также потенций к развитию из них доимплантационных эмбрионов. Анализу подверглись ооциты, прокультивированные в следующих системах:среда ТС199 с добавлением 10 фетальной бычьей сыворотки (ФБС), 50 мкг/мл эстрадиола, 10 мкг/мл лютеинизирующего гормона (ЛГ), 10 мкг/мл фолликулостимулирующего гормона (ФСГ) среда ТС199 с 10 эстральной сывороткой коров среда ТС199 с 50 жидкости из фолликулов диаметром 9 мм среда ТС199 с добавлением белков фолликулярной жидкости молекулярной массой 65 кДасреда ТС199 с 10 ФБС и 1106 клеток гранулезы среда ТС199 с 10 ФБС и тканью фолликула. В культуральные среды ко всем исследованным группам ооцитов добавляли антибиотики. Использование CКФ обеспечило значительное снижение доли ооцитов с дегенерированным хроматином, что способствовало увеличению уровня доимпланационных эмбрионов на стадии бластоцисты. Так, доля бластоцист, развившихся из ооцитов, созревших в среде со стенками фолликулов,составила43,5. В этой же группе выявлен минимальный уровень дегенерированных зародышей (6,45). Полученные данные предлагается использовать при моделировании систем дозревания ооцитов коров с целью повышения качества яйцеклеток.The creation of an effective unified maturation system of donor oocytes provides an increase in the efficiency of innovative cellular reproductive technologies. The comparative analysis of the meiotic maturation indicators of bovine oocytes, which were matured in different cultural systems modified by follicular structural components (FSC follicular walls, granulosa cells, proteins) and follicular fluid, as well as the potential for preimplantation embryonic development were evaluated in this study. Oocytes matured in following cultural systems: medium TC199 supplemented with 10 fetal bovine serum and 50 g/ml of estradiol, 10 g/ml of luteinizing hormone (LH), 10 g/ml of folliclestimulating hormone (FSH) medium TC199 with 10 estrous cow serum medium TC199 with 50 liquid from follicles with a diameter of 9 mm medium TC199 supplemented with the follicular fluid proteins with molecular weight 65 kDa medium TC199 with 10 fetal bovine serum and 1106 granulosa cells medium TC199 with the addition of 10 fetal bovine serum and follicle tissues were analyzed. Antibiotics were added to cultural media of all experimental groups of oocytes. The usage of FSC ensured the decrease in the proportion of oocytes with degenerated chromatin, which contribute the rise of the level of preimplantation embryos at the blastocyst stage. Thus, the proportion of blastocysts developed from oocytes matured in medium supplemented with follicular walls was 43.5. In the same experimental group, the number of degenerated embryos was 6.45. The obtained data are supposed to be used for modeling the cultural systems of cow oocytes in order to improve the egg quality.

One thousand lots of pooled fetal bovine serum (FBS) were tested for contamination with bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) and/or for contamination with neutralizing antibody against BVDV. Noncytopathic or cytopathic BVDV was isolated from 203 lots of FBS. Analysis of the viral isolates identified 115 type 1 and 65 type 2 BVDV isolates. An additional 23 virus isolates were mixtures of >2 BVDV isolates and were not classified to viral genotype. Further characterization of the type 1 viruses identified 51 subgenotype 1a and 64 subgenotype 1b BVDV isolates. Viral neutralizing antibody was detected in 113 lots of FBS. Differential viral neutralization indicated that type 1 BVDV induced the antibody detected in 48 lots of FBS and type 2 BVDV induced the antibody detected in 16 lots of FBS.
