Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo study the isolation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and in vitro differentiation into chondrocytes as potential seed cell for condyle cartilage tissue engineering.
METHODSHuman MSCs were isolated by percoll solution from normal human bone marrow sample and cultured in flasks. Specific cell surface markers were identified by flow-cytometry. After the cells were treated with inductive medium containing insulin, transferrin, pyruvate, dexathemesone and TGF-beta for 7 - 14 days, microscopic, histological and immuno-histo-chemical studies were performed for chondrogenic phenotype identification.
RESULTSPrimary cultures of human MSCs express CD29 and CD44 positively and meanly, but CD34, CD45 and HLA-DR negatively. After 14 days of induction, the cells were positively stained by safranin O. Immunohistochemical analysis proved strong type II collagen expression.
CONCLUSIONSPercoll helps to generate a better isolation of MSCs from human bone marrow aspirates with a purity more above 95%. The isolated MSCs can be expanded and induced in vitro to differentiate into chondrocytes by inductive medium.
