ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Several studies have demonstrated that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) inhibit the proliferation and activation of T lymphocytes, exerting a role of negative immunological regulation.OBJECTIVE:
To induce rat BMSCs to differentiate into neuron-like cells in vitro using all-trans retinoic acid and to investigate the effects of differentiated cells on T lymphocyte proliferation.DESIGN, TIME ANDSETTING:
A cytological in vitro observation was performed in Guangdong Medical College in March 2008.MATERIALS Two male 4-week-old Sprague Dawley rats were provided by the Laboratory Animal Center of Guangdong Medical College. Fresh healthy human blood was provided by the Department of Clinical Laboratory, Guangdong Medical College.METHODS:
Rat BMSCs were isolated by adherent method and were passaged in vitro. Cells of passage 5 were pre-induced with Low glucose-dulbecco's modified eagle's medium (LG-DMEM) containing 0.3 mg/L all-trans retinoic acid and 10% fetal bovine serum. Twenty-four hours later, aforementioned LG-DMEM was discarded and LG-DMEM containing 0.6 mg/L all-trans retinoic acid was added to induce cells differentiation into neuron-like cells. Fresh healthy human blood was taken to prepare responding cells. Rat BMSCs, as stimulator cells, were included for one-way mixed lymphocyte reaction. Four groups were designated. Control group 100 μL of responding cells at a concentration of 1×109/L; Experimental group 11×104 neuron-like cells + 100 μL of responding cells; Experimental group 21×105 neuron-like cells + 100 μL of responding cells; Experimental group 31×106 neuron-like cells + 100 μL of responding cells.MAIN OUTCOMEMEASURES:
Morphological observation of induce-differentiated cells, identification of nerve cells, and one-way mixed lymphocyte reaction results.RESULTS:
Fifty minutes after addition of inducing medium, under the optical microscope, BMSCs exhibited a typical morphology of perikaryon. Three hours later, most of cells became into bipolar or multipolar neuron-like cell appearance with cell bodies and processes. Immunocytochemical staining results showed that majority of cells exhibited neuron specific enolase- and nestin-positive expression and glial fibrillary acidic protein-negative expression. Compared with the control group, radionuclide counts per minute were significantly reduced in each experimental group (P<0.05). There was significant difference in radionuclide counts per minute between experimental groups (P<0.05). With increasing BMSCs amount, the inhibitory effects on T lymphocyte proliferation were more evident.CONCLUSION:
AII-trans retinoic acid can induce neuron-like cell differentiation of rat BMSCs in vitro. The neuron-like cells can inhibit human T lymphocyte proliferation in a dose-dependent manner.
