Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Decidua tissue is one of the most important sources of endometrial stem cel s, from which stromal stem cel s can differentiate into various kinds of cel s under contain inductions. OBJECTIVE:To observe the differentiation of endometrial stromal stem cel s isolated from early-pregnancy decidua into endometrial epithelial cel s. METHODS:Endometrial stromal stem cel s from early-pregnancy decidua were cultured, identified and directional y induced. Then induced cel s were randomized into test group cultured in conditioned medium and control group cultured in normal culture medium containing fetal bovine serum. Expression of keratin was detected by immunofluorescence assay and western bolt assay in the two groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The endometrial stromal stem cel s from early-pregnancy decidua were successful y isolated and cultured, and presented with a S-shaped curve. Within 1-48 hours after inoculation, cultured cel s were in the adaptation phase;then, the cel s proliferated rapidly and began to grow logarithmical y at 48 hours after culture;after 60 hours of culture, the cel growth rate decreased, with a steady rise in the cel curve. Results from the flow cytometry detection showed that the endometrial stromal stem cel s could express CD73 and CD90, but not express CD34, CD45 and cytokeratin. Immunofluorescence findings showed the expression of keratin negative in the control group, and mostly positive in the test group. Besides, the relative expression of keratin in the test group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). These results suggest that the endometrial stromal stem cel s can be isolated from the human decidua in early pregnancy, and differentiate into endometrial epithelial cel s by directional induction.
