Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Our preliminary studies have shown that basic fibroblast growth factor can induce the differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells into disc cells of the temporomandibular joint, and for basic fibroblast growth factor, 10 μg/L is superior to 5 μg/L in collagen synthesis.

OBJECTIVE: To observe ultrastructural changes of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells after being induced by different concentrations of basic fibroblast growth factor.
METHODS: We cultured primary sheep bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and selected passage 3 and 4 cells at good growth state. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were stimulated with 5 and 10 μg/L basic fibroblast growth factor and their growth state was observed under inverted phase contrast microscope. Uninduced cells served as controls. The slides with cell crawling pieces were stained with Safranin O, picrosirius and type I collagen immunohistochemistry at days 7, 14 and 21, respectively. Simultaneously we collected the cells at day 21 to observe the ultrastructural changes of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: After being induced with different concentrations of basic fibroblast growth factor, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were able to differentiate into disc cells of the temporomandibular joint; and after being induced with 10 μg/L basic fibroblast growth factor, cells were more like fibroblast-like cells of the temporomandibular joint disc. These findings indicate that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells have morphological basis for differentiation to the fibroblast-like cells of the temporomandibular joint disc.
