Research on the acquirement and purification of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells and their differentiation abilities to chondrocytes / 中华显微外科杂志

ABSTRACT

@#Objective To explore the efficient way to purify and to enrich umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells which have abilities to differentiate into chondrocytes. Methods Umbilical cord was acquired from new born infants and chopped into 1 mm2 cubics, then they were pretreated with colleganase and trypsin so as to get the mixed cell suspension. CD45(-),CD90(+) cells were acquired from the mixed cell suspension via FCM sorting and were cultured in the medium as umbilical cord mesenchymal stem PO cells. The PO cells were detached and passaged by multiplex collagenase NB4 and the positive rate of CD90 and CD45 of the P1-P3 cells were observeed via FCM ; the P3 cells were induced to differentiated into chondrocytes. Results FCM results showed that the positive rate of CD90 on P1, P2, F3 was (80.86 ± 7.85)%,(95.86± 3.28)%,(97.15± 1.43)%, while the positive rate of CD45 on P1, P2, P3 cells was (2.53 ±0.28)% and (0.97 ± 0.48)% and (0.05 ± 0.01)% respectively; P3 cells had differenciated into chondrocytes. Conclusion FCM presorting and Multiplex collagenase detachment procedures can swiftly acquire highly purified human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells which have the ability to differentiate into chondroeytes.
