Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Poultry mesenchymal stem cells are a particular subset of pluripotent adult stem cells derived from the mesoderm, which have great application prospects because of their strong proliferation and multi-directional differentiation potential.

OBJECTIVE: To review the source, separation, purification, culture and differentiation of poultry mesenchymal stem cells, and to provide the theoretical foundation and experimental basis for the further research and application of poultry mesenchymal stem cells.
METHODS: PubMed and CNKI databases were searched by the first author using key words of “mesenchymal stem cells, poultry, chicken, isolation, culture, differentiation” in English and in Chinese, respectively, to retrieve relevant articles published from 1990 to 2014. Literatures addressing induced poultry mesenchymal stem cells were included, and 42 articles were chosen for further analysis eventually.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Poultry mesenchymal stem cells have great application prospects in the aspects of establishing in vitro model of poultry cells, studying poultry disease pathogenesis, animal nutrition and meat quality control. Its origin source is wide and easy to obtain. Isolation, purification, culture and biological characteristics of mesenchymal stem cells from different tissues are different. But, the study on poultry mesenchymal stem cells is still in the exploration process, and there are many technical problems to be solved.
