Popis: Bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) have the capacity to differentiate into germ cells (GCs). This study was conducted to develop a non-integrated method of using RNA transfection to derive putative male GCs from goat BMSCs (gBMSCs) in vitro by overexpressing STRA8, BOULE and DAZL. The gBMSCs were induced by co-transfection these three mRNAs together (mi-SBD group) or sequential transfection according to their expression time order in vivo (mi-S + BD group). After transfection, a small population of gBMSCs transdifferentiated into early germ cell-like cells and had the potential to enter meiosis. These cells expressed primordial germ cell specific genes STELLA, C-KIT and MVH, as well as premeiotic genes DAZL, BOULE, STRA8, PIWIL2 and RNF17. Importantly, the expression level of meiotic marker synaptonemal complex protein 3 significantly increased in these transfected two groups compared with control cells by qRT-PCR, immunofluorescence and western blot analysis (P
