Abstract:
Objective:To investigate L-type calcium channels of human mesenchymal stem cells(hMSCs) cultured in vitro.Methods:hMSCs were isolated,cultured by Percoll gradient centrifugation,adherence to plastic flask and monoclonal culture.Immunophenotypes of hMSCs were detected by immunofluorescence and flow cytometry techniques.Whole cell patch-clamp technique was used to observe the change of L-type calcium channels of human mesenchymal stem cells(hMSCs).Results:High homogenous hMSCs had been isolated and cultured in vitro.hMSCs had unique immunophenotypes and they were positive for CD44,CD29,c-kit but negative for CD34,CD31,CD54.Calcium currents could be found in 40 percent of hMSCs,peak currents of calcium(I Ca-Peak ) were (102.67?19.06)pA from +20 mV to +30 mV.The currents could be inhibited by Cd~ 2+ (20 ?mol/L).Conclusion:Undifferentiated hMSCs express less L-type calcium channes,regulation of the chanels might contribute to directional differentiation.
