Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have multi-differentiation potential. In the acute wound, MSCs have been demonstrated to have the potential for differentiating into skin cells. However, there are few reports regarding its differentiation in diabetic wound.OBJECTIVE: To observe the feasibility of differentiation of MSCs into the cells of skin appendages under the microenvironment of diabetic wound.METHODS: MSCs were isolated from the bone marrow of rats, purified and cultured. Third or fourth passage MSCs were selected and labeled with 5-bromodeoxyuridine (5-BrdU). The rats were injected intraperitoneally with single administration of streptozocin to establish diabetes model. After 2 weeks, a round skin wound was made on the dorsal back of rats. BrdU-labeled MSCs at a density of 1×10~9/L were injected into the wound of the rats. The specimens were harvested from the wound tissues to prepare sections at 2 and 3 weeks after transplantation, followed by immunohistochemical staining with BrdU or keratin. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: BrdU positive cells aggregated in the epidermis, dermis and hypodermia. Some positive cells appeared in the sebaceous glands and sebaceous duct cells and expressed keratin simultaneously in serial sections. During diabetic wound healing, MSCs have the potential to differentiate into the cells of the skin appendages.
