Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Mesenchymal stem cells isolated from cord blood and bone marrow have multi-directional differentiation ability under a certain condition of induction.
OBJECTIVE: To compare the difference of differentiation of umbilical cord blood and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells into osteoblasts.
METHODS: Human umbilical cord blood and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were isolated and cultured by density gradient method. When reached 90% confluency, mesenchymal stem cells were digested by trypsin for subculture. At the third passage, umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells at 8×104/well were incubated. When reached 80% confluency, cells were treated with low-glucose DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 0.1 μmol/L dexamethasone, 50 μmol/L vitamin C and 10 mmol/L β-sodium glycerophosphate.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: There was no significant difference in morphology and biological properties of the two kinds of mesenchymal stem cells. Cells were highly expressed CD44, CD29, but did not express CD34. They had the ability to differentiate into osteoblasts, which had a positive staining for known markers: alkaline phospatase and calcium in vitro mineralization. There was no significant difference in the activity of osteoblasts of two kinds of cells. Results verify that umbilical cord blood and adult bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells can be induced into osteoblasts with a similar ability, and they can be used as seed cells for bone tissue engineering.
