ABSTRACT
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can be obtained from a variety of human tissues. Placenta has become an attractive stem cell source for potential applications in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. The aim of this study was to localize and characterize MSCs within human chorionic membranes (hCMSCs). For this purpose, immunofluorescence labeling with CD105 and CD90 were used to determine the distribution of MSCs in chorionic membranes tissue. A medium supplemented with a synthetic serum and various concentrations of neurotrophic factors and cytokines was used to induce hCMSCs to neural cells. The results showed that the CD90 positive cells were scattered in the chorionic membranes tissue, and the CD105 positive cells were mostly located around the small blood vessels. hCMSCs expressed typical mesenchymal markers (CD73, CD90, CD105, CD44 and CD166) but not hematopoietic markers (CD45, CD34) and HLA-DR. hCMSCs differentiated into adipocytes, osteocytes, chondrocytes, and neuronal cells, as revealed by morphological changes, cell staining, immunofluorescence analyses, and RT-PCR showing the tissue-specific gene presence for differentiated cell lineages after the treatment with induce medium. Human chorionic membranes may be the source of MSCs for treatment of nervous system injury.
