Outline of Final Research Achievements

In previous studies, anti-mullerian hormone (amh) signal deficient medaka hotei were isolated and they showed hyperactivation of germline stem cell division, resulting germ cell excess. I performed medaka ovarian cell culture and examined the character of cultured cells . After 14 days of cell culture, functional sperm were produced from cultured ovarian germ cells, suggesting that medaka adult ovaries have germ cells with potential to differentiate into both oocytes and sperm.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

今回の研究によって、どの発達段階の生殖細胞が卵巣器官を形成することができるのか、また、成体の卵巣内にある生殖細胞の中でどの分化段階の生殖細胞まで精子・卵どちらにも分化できる能力を持つのかを示すことができた。今回確立した培養実験系はどのような因子が精子・卵への分化に寄与しているのかをスクリーニングするための系としても利用できる可能性がある。
