Methods: The FBS and the KSR were used as supplement of culture medium the testicular tissues were cultured for weeks. Area of the cultured tissues was messured. The testicular histology the development of the germ cell and the diameter of seminiferous tubules were observated by HE staining. The apoptotic cells were observed in the testis cultuted for weeks by apoptosis experiments. The marker genes of spermatogenesis in various stages such as Kit Sycp3 and Crisp1 were identified by RT-PCR. Results: In KSR group the cultured tissues could sustain growth and the seminiferous tubules gradually increased in the period of culture. The spermatogonia primary spermatocytes secondary spermatocytes and round spermatids were observed in the cultured tissues after cultured for weeks and their marker genes Kit Sycp3 and Crisp1 were identified. In FBS group the testicular organization dwindled in the period of culture; the seminiferous tubules appeared obviously necrosis and the expression of the Sycp3 and Crisp1 were instability after cultured for weeks. Conclusion: KSR has more advantages for spermatogonial cells to develop into sperm cells in immature tissue culture and can maintain the germ cell development and the cultured tissues growth development for a long time.
