Objective To establish a method of isolation and purification of rat skeletal muscle satellite cells,and observe the characteristics of proliferation and myotube cell formation of skeletal muscle satellite cells cultured in vitro. MethodsPurified skeletal muscle satellite cells were obtained by improved two-step enzymatic digestion method and pre-plating technique.Immunohistochemical staining was employed to identify the skeletal muscle satellite cells cultured in vitro.The growth of skeletal muscle satellite cells cultured in vitro was examined by MTT assay.The differentiation of skeletal muscle satellite cells was observed by inverted microscopy. Results The skeletal muscle satellite cells with higher purity were obtained and confirmed by the high expression of desmin.When cultured in vitro,the latent phase of skeletal muscle satellite cells was the first to the second day,and the platform phase was the fifth to the sixth day.Myotube cells gradually formed when cell confluence was more than 60% to 70% or differential medium with lower fetal bovine serum was used.Conclusion The combination of improved two-step enzymatic digestion method and pre-plating technique serve as an easy and practical way to obtain skeletal muscle satellite cells with higher purity.Skeletal muscle satellite cells can form myotube cells with contraction characteristics without any special induction.

The superantigen,such as staphylococcal enterotoxins, had been identified as possible anti-cancer molecules in many reports. In this paper, we cloned the entA gene encoding Staphylococcal enterotoxin A from the genomic DNA of Staphylococcus aureus(ATCC13565) by PCR, the sequence cloned was accordance with that reported in Genebank. The entA gene could be expressed effectively after inserted into plasmid pET-22b( + ), The rSEA was expressed as inclusion bodies when induced by IPTG at 37 degrees C and became soluble after induced at low temperature, the soluble part is about 55% of total rSEA products. Only one band was detected by western-blotting in expression product of BL-21 (DE3) with pET-SEA. The soluble rSEA was purified by Ni2+ chelating sepharose column. No other protein except rSEA was seen in SDS-PAGE gel stained by both Coomassie brilliant blue and silver salt, which showed that the rSEA was purified effectively. Homology modeling of rSEA determined the structure change was conducted, which indicated there was no apparent structure change between rSEA and native SEA. This result was also confirmed by proliferation assay of PBMC, for the rSEA could induced proliferation of PBMC as effectively as native SEA. The increasing anti-tumor activity of rSEA was also detected after the spleen cell activated in vivo by rSEA, which was accordance with others reports. This work paved the way for the further study of anti-cancer with rSEA.
