Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of fish cell culture, and particularly relates to a method for preparing sturgeon ovary cells secreting bile acid in vitro by using isolated sturgeon ovaries and bile acid. Background Art
[0002] Sturgeons are ancient, economically valuable, large sub-cold-water fishes. Sturgeon meat is delicious, and sturgeon caviar is known as "egg gold". Compared with other sturgeons, the sterlet sturgeon (Acipenser ruthenus) is smaller in size and matures earlier, making it a model fish for sturgeon biology research.
[0003] Fish ovarian tissue is mainly composed of a large number of independent gonadal microenvironments, and the gonadal microenvironment cells are mainly composed of female germ cells, granulosa cells and theca cells. The gonadal microenvironment cells conduct signal transduction and communication with each other, and granulosa cells and theca cells work together under signal stimulation to secrete a large number of hormones, nutrients, cytokines and other components, providing the necessary nutrients and cell regulatory factors for the growth and development of germ cells.
[0004] Bile acid is the main active ingredient in bile. It was previously believed that it was synthesized by liver cells and often exists in the form of sodium salts, also known as bile salts. Depending on the site of generation, bile acids are divided into two categories, primary bile acids and secondary bile acids. The former is synthesized in the liver, and the latter is converted in the intestine. Depending on whether the conjugation reaction occurs in the liver, it is divided into free bile acids and conjugated bile acids. The main function of bile acid is to promote the digestion and absorption of lipids. Bile acid is considered to be a digestive aid molecule that participates in the emulsification and absorption of dietary fats and fat-soluble vitamins, and plays an important role in cholesterol homeostasis. Recent studies have found that bile acids are similar in structure to steroid hormones and have multi-organ interactive regulatory functions in metabolism, endocrine and immune functions. Currently, most commercially produced bile acids are extracted from pig bile. Summary of the invention
