Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Experiments have demonstrated that the expression level of CXCR4 on bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells determines cell homing to targeted tissue and subsequent angiogenesis.
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the isolation, culture, identification and multi-differentiation potential of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and investigate the significance of chemokine receptor CXCR4 expression on bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in promotion of angiogenesis.
METHODS: Under sterile condition, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were isolated, cultured and purified by the while bone marrow adherence method. Cell apoptosis in vitro, CXCR4 protein expression on the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were detected, and cell cycle was analyzed.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The isolated bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells exhibited uniform morphology. After passage, cells were spindle-shaped. Cells began to grow rapidly at about 4 days and grew stably 1 week later. Flow cytometry results showed increased CXCR4 expression on bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. These findings suggest that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were successfully isolated, CXCR4 protein was highly expressed on cell surface after in vitro culture, and increased CXCR4 expression will provide theoretical evidence for bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell transplantation in promotion of angiogenesis and treatment of lower limb ischemic diseases in the clinic.
