Two conditional media promoting the differentiation murine embryonic stem cells into hematopoietic stem cells / 中南大学学报(医学版)

ABSTRACT

Objective To derive hematopoietic stem cells with functional properties of hematopoietic reconstitution from murine embryonic stem (ES) cells. Methods ES-D3 cells by formation of the day-4 embryoid bodies (4dEBs) were induced into hematopoietic stem cells by co-culture with murine bone marrow endothelial cell-conditional medium (mBMEC-CM) and the fetal liver stromal cell-conditional medium (FLSC-CM). This experiment was designed to 4 groups (mBMEC-CM + FLSC-CM group, mBMEC-CM group, FLSC-CM group, and the control group). Results The total cell numbers, CD34 + cell numbers, and colony numbers formed in the mBMEC-CM + FLSC-CM group were the highest among the 4 groups. The cells in the mBMEC-CM + FLSC-CM group resumed the hematopoietic system of the mice after being transplanted with the inducing cells. Conclusion The culture condition combing mBMEC-CM with FLSC-CM can promote murine ES cells differentiating into hematopoietic stem cells with functional properties of hematopoietic reconstitution.
