1.EXPERIMENTAL TREATMENT OF L801 MYELOID LEUKEMIC MICE WITH LOW MOLECULAR WEIGHT TUMOR SUPPRESSOR OF NEW BORN CALF LIVER ORIGIN
Medical Journal of Chinese People's Liberation Army 1983;0(05):-
With techniques of biochemical isolation and pruification, a semi-purified preparation of new born calf liver (BLS) with the peculiarity of low molecular weight has been found to have tumor surppressor activity inhibiting selectively the growth of murine myeloid leukemic cell (L801). But its effect is less marked against normal bone marrow granulocyte / macrophage progenitors in in vitro liquid or agar culture. Mice after inoculation of L801 cells died within 15 days due to development of leukemia. After consecutive injections of BLS, 25% - 53.8% of treated mice survived. Furthermore, it has been found that the survival rate was raised from 50% to 66% when Cyclophosphamide was first injected in the dose of 300?g / kg body weight once, followed by the consecutive injections of BLS. NO pathological changes have been observed in the mice which survived longer than 100 days after inoculation of L801 leukemic cells.

BACKGROUND:Placenta is a valuable source of mesenchymal stem cels for stem cel therapy and future application in the field of regenerative medicine. However, conventional methods cannot acquire a large amount of purified human placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cels. Here, we present a new method for isolating human placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cels suitable for banking strategies and for future clinical applications. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the biological characteristics of human placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cels cultured by tissue dissociating and colagenase digestion. METHODS: Human placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cels were obtained from human placenta by tissue dissociating and colagenase digestion method. Immunophenotype was analyzed by flow cytometry. Growth curve was determined by MTT assay, and differentiation ability was evaluated byin vitro adipogenic, osteogenic and chondrogenic induction as wel. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Human placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cels could be passaged stablyin vitro. Furthermore, the cels expressed CD73, CD90, CD105, but were negative for the markers of CD11b, CD19, CD34, CD45, and HLA-DR. Human placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cels proliferated actively and began to grow logarithmicaly at days 3-5 folowed by a plateau period at day 6. In addition, the isolated cels could be induced into adipocytes, osteocytes, chondrocytesin vitro. In a word, the results of this study demonstrated that the tissue dissociating and colagenase digestion method is an efficient method for obtaining a large amount of human placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cels that can be stably cultured in vitro and have strong proliferative ability.

BACKGROUND:Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells with capabilities for self-renewal and multi-differentiation have attracted widespread attention. OBJECTIVE:To develop an efficient method for isolation and culture of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells, and to analyze the cellbiological features. METHODS:Mesenchymal stem cells were isolated and cultured from human umbilical cord by improved tissue cultivation. Immunophenotype and cellcycle were analyzed by flow cytometry. Growth curve was determined by MTT assay, and differentiation ability was evaluated by in vitro osteogenic and adipogenic induction as wel . RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Some fusiform cells crawled out from human umbilical cord tissues after cultivation for 5 days and formed colonies about 10 days later. When the removed tissues were further cultured, more cells appeared again within 2 days and formed colonies after 5 days. The isolated cells exhibited similar morphology of fibroblast-like shape after passage. Furthermore, the cells expressed CD90, CD105, but were negative for the markers of CD34, CD45, HLA-DR. Population doubling time of the cells calculated from the result of MTT was about 50 hours and cellcycle analysis showed that 41.24%cells were in the G 2/S phrase. Therefore, the isolated cells had a high prolification ability. In addition, the isolated cells could be induced into osteoblasts and adipocytes in vitro. In a word, the results of this study demonstrated that the cells from the second tissues culture possessed the biological characteristics of mesenchymal stem cells and more primary umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells were acquired through the improved method.

To improve thrombolytic effect, a fusion protein SFH composed of staphylokinase (SAK) and hirudin (HV) with blood coagulation factor Xa (FXa) recognition peptide as a linker, was designed. SFH showed improved thrombolytic effect and low bleeding in vivo. Two thrombus-targeting mechanisms might account for the above features of SFH. This study was designed to study the two thrombus-targeting mechanisms of SFH. ELISA and immunohistochemistry assay were used to study the improved thrombus selectivity of SFH and the results showed that SFH, compared with SAK, displayed higher affinity for thrombin and thrombin-rich thrombus. To verify the thrombus-targeting release of anticoagulant activity of SFH, FH-a derivative of HV with only FXa recognition sequence at N terminus of HV was designed and used in animal tests. In inferior vena cava thrombosis model, FH showed equal antithrombotic effect as HV, indicating that HV could be successfully released from FH by FXa cleavage in vivo. More importantly, no prolongation of plasma TT, APTT and PT were found in FH group, but significant prolongations were discovered in HV group. This revealed that the anticoagulant activity of FH was released in thrombus-targeting way and limited in the vicinity of the thrombus, and this could be extrapolated to SFH. In conclusion, the high thrombus affinity and thrombus-targeting release of anticoagulant activity of SFH assigned low bleeding risk to SFH.
