Abstract:

BACKGROUND: The culture technique and osteogenic induction of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells would be further investigated based on flexible and easy harvesting of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the practical methods of isolation and cultivation of guinea pig bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells in vitro and to investigate the phenotype characteristics and multilineage differentiation potential of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.
METHODS: Guinea pig bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were isolated and purified by adhesion method. After subculturing and proliferation, expression of cell surface molecule CD29, CD44, CD45 was detected by flow cytometry. The multilineage differentiation capability of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells was examined by culturing cells under conditions favorable for adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The primary cultured bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells adhered to plastic surface after 96 hours and exhibited an oval, asteroid or fusiform shape. After 8 days, the cells reached 90 % confluence in a single layer. After subculturing and amplification, the cells were further purified with a uniform firbroblast-like morphology. Flow cytometry analysis showed that the positive rate of CD29 and CD44 was 95.7% and 65.7% respectively. After culture in adipogenic and osteogenic medium respectively, passage 3 cells were successfully induced to differentiate into adipogenic and osteogenic lineages, as identified by oil red O, alizarin red S, alkaline phosphatase staining and immunohistochemical type Ⅰ collagenase staining. These findings suggest that by adherence method, in vitro isolated, cultured guinea pig bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells can greatly proliferate and maintain the phenotypic and functional properties of mesenchymal stem cells.
