Biological characteristics of bone marrowversus adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells from C57 mice / 中国组织工程研究

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:Adipose-derived stem cels have similar characteristics of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels, including adhesion and fibroblast-like clone formation. In addition, adipose-derived stem cels can differentiate into bone, adipose, cartilage. OBJECTIVE:To compare the biological characteristics of C57 mouse adipose-derived and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels. METHODS:Mesenchymal stem cels were obtained respectively from the adipose and bone marrow of C57 mice under sterile condition. Adipose-derived and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels were isolated and purified in vitro to determine cellmorphology, suface marker, growth kinetics, differentiation potential and Notch signal related gene. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Morphology was similar between adipose-derived and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels under an optical microscope. Adipose-derived and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels at passage 3 expressed CD29, CD105, Sca-1, but not expressed CD34, CD133. In addition, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels also expressed CD45. The growth kinetics and cellclone analysis indicated that the proliferation rate of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cels was significantly faster than that of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels. Both of adipose-derived and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels were induced to osteoblasts, adipocytes and chondrocytes, but the adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cels were easier to the osteogenetic differentiation than bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels. Notch signal related gene detection shown that adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cels expressed lower levels of Jagged-1 mRNA, but higher levels of Hes-1 mRNA compared with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels. These findings suggest that the proliferation rate of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cels is significantly faster than that of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels, and the former is apt to the osteogenetic differentiation and may be related with the expressed levels of Hes-1 mRNA.
