The study of isolation and culture in vitro of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells and their biological properties / 重庆医学

ABSTRACT

Objective To identify a detailed biological characterization of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) isolated from hu‐man umbilical cord(UC) tissue regarding their morphology ,immunophenotype ,purity and proliferative capacity and establish a rea‐sonably cultured and amplified system .Methods After stripping off arteries and veins ,the remaining parts of umbilical cord were cut into 1 mm3 small sections and cultured with DMEM/F12 containing 10% fetal bovine serum .Adhere cells were obtained and the morphology of the cells was observed under inverted phase contrast microscope .The growth curves of them were drawn by CCK‐8 and the cell cycle and surface antigens (CD29 ,CD73 ,CD90 ,CD105 ,CD31 ,CD14 ,CD34 ,CD45 ,CD11b ,HLA‐DR) were detected by flow cytometry .Results Seven to ten days after primary culture ,adhere cells came out of fragments .The MSCs harvested were a high purity and mainly presented as a fibroblast‐like morphology .UC‐MSCs had a strong ability of proliferation through the cell growth curve .The special surface antigens CD29 ,CD73 ,CD90 ,CD105 were positive expression ,while CD31 ,CD14 ,CD34 ,CD45 , CD11b ,HLA‐DR were negative .More than 80% cells of MSCs were found at G0/G1 phase .Conclusion Human UC‐MSCs could be cultured and proliferated in vitro .
