RESUMO
BACKGROUND:Placenta is a valuable source of mesenchymal stem cels for stem cel therapy and future application in the field of regenerative medicine. However, conventional methods cannot acquire a large amount of purified human placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cels. Here, we present a new method for isolating human placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cels suitable for banking strategies and for future clinical applications. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the biological characteristics of human placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cels cultured by tissue dissociating and colagenase digestion. METHODS: Human placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cels were obtained from human placenta by tissue dissociating and colagenase digestion method. Immunophenotype was analyzed by flow cytometry. Growth curve was determined by MTT assay, and differentiation ability was evaluated byin vitro adipogenic, osteogenic and chondrogenic induction as wel. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Human placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cels could be passaged stablyin vitro. Furthermore, the cels expressed CD73, CD90, CD105, but were negative for the markers of CD11b, CD19, CD34, CD45, and HLA-DR. Human placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cels proliferated actively and began to grow logarithmicaly at days 3-5 folowed by a plateau period at day 6. In addition, the isolated cels could be induced into adipocytes, osteocytes, chondrocytesin vitro. In a word, the results of this study demonstrated that the tissue dissociating and colagenase digestion method is an efficient method for obtaining a large amount of human placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cels that can be stably cultured in vitro and have strong proliferative ability.
RESUMO
Objective To establish an aging model of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and to investigate aging related biological mechanism for the purpose of studying the senesence of MSCs .Methods MSCs were separated and purified from human placenta, and the cells of the third passage(P3-MSCs) were cultured in the medium for 2 hours, then 100,200 and 300 μmol/L hydrogen peroxide ( H2 O2 ) was added to the cells for 2 hours to establish the MSCs aging model in vitro. Biological characteristics of aging MSCs were evaluated by cell cycle assay and senescence associated β-galactosidase staining.The expression of p16,p21 and p53 genes was further measured using quantitative real-time PCR (RT-PCR).Re-sults Compared with the control , the number of MSCs treated with 200μmol/L H2 O2 for 2 hours was significantly decreased and the cells displayed less adipogenic ,osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation .Moreover ,after exposure to 200 μmol/L H2 O2 , the majority of the cells were in the G 0/G1 phase as showed by cell cycle analysis .The percentage of senescence-associated β-galactosidase-positive cells was increased , and the expression of p 16 , p21 and p53 mRNA and protein was significantly increased.Conclusion The results of this study has demonstrated that the H 2 O2 (200 μmol/L) can be used to establish the aging model of MSCs in vitro, and the cellular phenotypic alteration may attribute to the cell cycle associated gene expression (p16, p21, and p53).
