Abstract:

BACKGROUND: At present bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells act as the main seed cells in bone tissue engineering, but only 0.001%-0.01% cells are in the bone with difficulty in cell separation and purification.
OBJECTIVE: To explore the biological characterization of human placenta derived mesenchymal stem cells and  biocompatibility with three-dimensional porous hydroxyapatite ceramic scaffold.
METHODS: Human placenta derived mesenchymal stem cells were morphologically observed and identified using flow cytometry, followed by osteogenic, adipogenic, chondrogenic induction for 3 weeks. Afterwards, the potential of multi-directional differentiation was identified by alizarin red S, oil red O and toluidine blue staining. DAPI staining was used to observe the adhesion of cells on the surface of the hydroxyapatite ceramic scaffold under scanning electron microscope.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The human placenta derived mesenchymal stem cells showed long spindle shape and uniform size under the microscope; they highly expressed CD29 and D90, but did not express CD45 and CD106. Following induction, mineralized nodules were observed by alizarin red S staining, lipid droplets by oil red O staining and blue-dyed toluidine blue staining. These cells adhered well to the scaffold surface, indicting they are suitable for bone tissue engineering.
