Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Previous studies demonstrated that tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) can stimulate the immunosuppression function of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), and promote hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) expression of BMSCs.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether BMSCs stimulated by TNF-α is an effective way to promote the expression and secretion of HGF in rat BMSCs.
METHODS: BMSCs from SD rats were isolated, cultured and purified by the whole bone marrow adherence method, generated to passage3-4 to use. TNF-α pre-stimulated BMSCs, the medium was discarded after 5 hours, and then cultured with fresh medium as experimental group, normal cultured BMSCs as blank group. The morphology of BMSCs was observed by the inverted phase contrast microscope. The expression of surface makers CD 29, CD 34, CD 44 and CD 45 of BMSCs were identified by flow cytometer. HGF mRNA and protein expression were detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot. HGF protein level in cell supernatants was determined by ELISA.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: BMSCs were isolated by the whole bone marrow adherence method with uniform and showed spindle shaped, typical swirl morphology. BMSCs expressed CD29+ (99.45%), CD34- (97.91%), CD44+ (99.52%), CD45- (98.42%); the expression level of HGF mRNA and protein and HGF in cell supernatants increased with time-dependent. The expression levels of HGF mRNA and protein and HGF in cell supernatants in experimental group were significantly higher than that in blank group (P < 0.01). BMSCs stimulated by TNF-α can effectively improve the expression and secretion of HGF.
