Abstract:
BACKGROUND: It has been verified vascular endothelial cells can propagate and differentiate into vessel by planted in the tissue-engineered material in vivo, but it may cause severe trauma when obtain vascular endothelial cells, and it has limited sources. OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) can differentiate into vascular endothelial cells by combined induction of vascular endothelial cell growth factor (VEGF), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 by experimental observation. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: The control cell observation experiment was conducted at the Central Laboratory of First Affiliated Hospital, Liaoning Medical University from November 2006 to June 2007. MATERIALS: An 8-week-old Japanese big ear rabbit was used to isolate BMSCs. VEGF, bFGF and IGF-1 were purchased from Peprotech Company. METHODS: After anaesthesia, bone marrow was extracted from the rabbit. Enough BMSCs were harvested by adherence and trypsinization and randomized into two groups. BMSCs in the induction group were inoculated in DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 10 ?g/L VEGF, 1 ?g/L bFGF and 2 ?g/L IGF-1 for 2 weeks. BMSCs in the control group were inoculated in DMEM containing 10% FBS. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Morphological observation, nitric oxide (NO) content detected, immunohistochemistry staining of Ⅷ factor-related antigen and Weibel-Palade body under a electron microscope in BMSCs. RESULTS: Five days after induction, BMSCs were distributed in cluster, showing round. Non-induced BMSCs were evenly distributed, showing spindle or triangle. Fourteen days after induction, NO content in supernatant was significantly higher in the induction group than in the control group (t=3.75, P
