Establishment and Cryopreservation of Chengde Hornless Goat Ear Fibroblast Cell Line
[Objective]In this study,betaine was used as a cryoprotectant to cryopreserve Chengde Hornless goat ear fibroblast cell lines for optimizing the cryopreservation effect,so as to preserve the genetic resources of this local breed at the cellular level.[Method]The ear fibroblast cell line of Chengde Hornless goat was established by tissue block culture method.Vitrification of fibroblasts with betaine as a cryoprotectant,different concentrations of betaine(5%,10%,15%,20%and 25%)were used as the experimental group,and different concentrations of dimethyl sulfoxide(DMSO,10%and 20%)were used as the control group.Cryopreservation of Chengde Hornless goat ear fibroblasts was performed,the cell survival rate,cell proliferative activity and the expression of B-cell lymphoma-2(Bcl-2)/Bcl-2 related X protein(Bax)genes were measured after cell resuscitation,and the toxicity of betaine was also assessed.[Result]Chengde Hornless goat ear fibroblast cell line established in this study had good growth trend and high cell purity.The result of bacteria,fungi and mycoplasma were negative,and the growth curve was S type,which met the requirements of establishing fibroblast cell line.When the concentration of betain was 15%,the survival rate of cells was the highest,reaching 90.86%,which was extremely significantly higher than that of control group(P<0.01).The cell proliferation activity and the expression of Bcl-2/Bax genes were significantly higher than those in control group(P<0.05),and the toxicity of betain was much lower than that of DMSO(P<0.05).[Conclusion]In this study,betaine was successfully used as a cryoprotectant to cryopreserve the ear fibroblast cell line of Chengde Hornless goat,so as to protect the genetic resources of Chengde Hornless goat.
