Abstract:

BACKGROUND: The culture of umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells is extremely important for studies on umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells. Optimization of cell culture technology is crucial for clinical application of mesenchymal stem cells and even cell therapy. Meanwhile, the labeling and tracer technique of umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells is a hotspot in stem cell transplantation.

OBJECTIVE: To review the research and development of the cell markers and tracer methods of umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells.
METHODS: A computer-based search of VIP, CNKI, Medline, Highwire and Foreign Journals Integration System databases was performed for articles concerning culture and labeling of umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells published from January 2001 to October 2013. The keywords were “stem cells, mesenchymal stem cells, umbilical cord-derived mesenchymalstem cells, cell culture, labeling methods” in Chinese and English, respectively. Finally, 35 articles were included in result analysis.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells have not yet been widely used, mainly because of the immature isolation, culture and staining techniques of umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells. These techniques are worthy of further optimization studies. Although in recent years, cell markers and tracer technology of umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells have made great progress, there are still many problems need to be solved.
