Effects of rhG-CSF on mobilization of mouse mesenchymal stem cells / 中国实验血液学杂志

ABSTRACT

To evaluate the effects of rhG-CSF on mobilization of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) of mouse bone marrow at different time point, thirty mice were randomly divided into rhG-CSF treatment group and control group. The mice were subcutaneously injected with rhG-CSF in a dose of 80 microg/kg or saline for 5 days. The bone marrow and peripheral blood were obtained at time points of 6, 12, 168 hours after final injection of rhG-CSF or saline. Bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMNCs) were seeded at density of 1 x 10(6) MNCs onto 12-well plate for culture expansion in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS, and the number of colony forming unit - fibroblast (CFU-F) was counted after 14 days. The cells were collected by trypsinization and the surface antigens CD34, CD133, CD90 and CD105 were analyzed by flow cytometry. The multi-differentiation of MSCs were done in the culture condition of induced-adipocyte and osteocyte. Peripheral blood MNCs examination was same as the bone marrow. The results indicated that the number of CFU-F of bone marrow in rhG-CSF group was more than that in control group (p < 0.01), the number of CFU-F in rhG-CSF group at 6 hours was more than that at 12 hours and 168 hours, respectively (p < 0.01). There was no obvious difference between CFU-F at 12 hours and at 168 hours (p > 0.05). MSCs were positive for CD90, CD105 and negative for CD34 and CD133. MSCs were found to differentiate into adipocyte and osteocyte in vitro. The CFU-F of PBMNCs obtained and cultured in vitro in the same culture conditions could be observed after the rhG-CSF injection at 6 hours, but cloning efficiency was (0.50 +/- 0.11) x 10(-6) MNCs and showed statistical difference as compared with control. It is concluded that rhG-CSF to mobilize hemopoietic stem cells can be used to induce mouse MSCs in vivo expansion, which showed the peak value within 6 hours after final injection of rhG-CSF. rhG-CSF have the mini-mobilization effect on murine MSCs derived from bone marrow.
