The utilization of spermatogonia from testicular tissue after xenografting into immuno-deficient mice should lead to new insights for the conservation of male gametes. However, successful embryo production using sperm cells from xenografted testicular tissues has been limited to rhesus monkeys (Honaramooz et al. 2004 Biol. Reprod. 70, 1500-1503). In the present study, the objective was to establish this new technology for pig conservation in combination with intracytoplasmic sperm injection. Testes were obtained from male piglets 6 to 15 days old, in which most of the germ cells were gonocytes; these were minced into pieces of approximately 1.5 � 1.5 � 1.5 mm. Approximately 20 fragments were transplanted under the back skin of castrated nude mice 5 to 8 weeks old. The testicular grafts were recovered between 125 and 192 days after xenografting, minced in Dulbecco's phosphate-buffered saline, and centrifuged several times, to serve as a sperm suspension. In vitro maturation of the recipient oocytes (Kikuchi et al. 2002 Biol. Reprod. 66, 1033-1041) and injection with an intact spermatozoon, followed by electrical stimulation at 1 h post-injection (Nakai et al. 2003 Biol. Reprod. 68, 1003-1008), were carried out. The putative zygotes were cultured in vitro for 6 days (Kikuchi et al. 2002), and were then fixed, stained, and assessed for embryonic development and quality. From a total of 27 mice that were xenografted with testicular tissues, spermatids and spermatozoa were obtained in 19 of the mice (70.4%). Most of the spermatozoa were matured morphologically, showing faint motility after release into the collection medium. From a total of 253 oocytes (four replications) that were injected with sperm, 63 (24.9 � 7.1%) oocytes developed to the blastocyst stage. The average total cell number was 41.9 � 3.9. These values are comparable to those in in vitro fertilization by frozen-thawed spermatozoa, resulting in developmental ability to piglets after embryo transfer (25.3% and 48.7 cells; Kikuchi et al. 2002). These results suggest the possibility of embryo production using porcine spermatozoa that are differentiated from gonocytes within the xenografts.

An epithelial cell line, NPC/HK1, has recently been established from a biopsy specimen of a recurrent tumour of the nasopharynx which was histologically diagnosed as a moderately to well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. A definite decrease in the amount of tonofilaments and desmosomes in the NPC/HK1 cells during the cell line establishment was observed. The present communication reports on the fine structures of the NPC/HK1 cells heterotraneplanted in athymic nude mice.

Multifunctional Cytokine

The purpose of this study was to demonstrate by ISH the presence of IL-8 mRNA, and by immunohistochemistry (IHC) the presence of the chemokine IL-8 and the distribution of infiltrating macrophages in subcutaneous melanomas in the same tumor. IL-8 is a multifunctional cytokine produced by melanoma cells, activated macrophages and monocytes and it has been shown to be a growth and angiogenic factor for tumor cells. More recently it was shown that constitutive expression of IL-8 correlated directly with metastatic potential of human melanoma cells in nude mice. IL-8 content of a solid tumor as determined by Western blot analysis does not take into account the contribution of macrophages. Previous studies showed that murine tumors contain many infiltrating cells interspersed among tumor cells whereas human tumors growing in nude mice exhibit macrophages at the periphery or between tumor islands. In this study we demonstrate the expression of IL-8 and the distribution of macrophages by immunoperoxidase assay and IL-8 mRNA by ISH.
