Zinc is essential for cell proliferation and differentiation,especially for the regulation of DNA synthesis and mitosis.On the molecular level,it is a structural constituent of a great number of proteins including enzymes of cellular signaling pathways and transcription factors.Zinc can modulate cellular signal recognition,second messenger metabolism,protein kinase and protein phosphatase activities.It may stimulate or inhibit activities of transcription factors,and it may as well be used as a second messenger involved in cell signaling regulation.

BACKGROUND:neurons are post-mitotic cels that are difficult to survive. Isolation, purification and culture of spinal motor neurons are technical difficulties of cel culture technology. OBJECTIVE:To establish the culture system of spinal motor neurons from neonatal rats and to identify and determine the purity of spinal cord neurons. METHODS: Ventral spinal cord tissues from neonatal rats were made into cel suspension that was subjected to density gradient centrifugation and differential adherence folowed by purification culture. Then, the cels on cover plates were identified and classified using immunocytochemical double staining method, and the content of cel components was calculated in combination with fluorescent Hoechst nuclear staining. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The cels adhered wel, and the neurons accounted for 85.8%, among which, motor neurons reached 71.6%, astrocytes accounted for 7.8%, cels negative for neurofilament 200 and glial fibrilary acidic protein were 6.4%. These findings indicate that the ventral spinal cord tissues from neonatal rats combined with density gradient centrifugation and differential adherence can develop high-purity spinal motor neurons.

BACKGROUND:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels can produce a variety of cytokines to provide some support for the growth and proliferation of myeloma cels.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of astragalus polysaccharides on the proliferation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels from patients with multiple myeloma and cytokine secretion.
METHODS:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels were isolated by density gradient centrifugation from the bone marrow of a healthy volunteer and a multiple myeloma patient, and were cultured and identified. Passage 3 bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels were colected, and the growth curve was depicted by the enzyme marker method. MTT method and flow cytometry were used to detect the effects of different concentrations (0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 g/L) of astragalus polysaccharides on the proliferation and cel cycle of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels. The expression levels of interleukin-1β and interleukin-6 were detected by ELISA method.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels from both the healthy control and multiple myeloma patient showed negative expression of CD34 and positive expression of CD44. The obtained cels from two sources had the characteristics of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels. Cels from the healthy control had significantly shorter doubling time than those from the myeloma patient. After treated with 1 and 2 g/L astragalus polysaccharide, cel proliferation rate in the multiple myeloma group was significantly higher than that in the healthy control group; after treated with 6 and 8 g/L astragalus polysaccharide, the cel proliferation rate was significantly lower in the multiple myeloma group than in the healthy control group. After treated with 1 g/L astragalus polysaccharide, compared with the healthy control, the proportion of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels from the multiple myeloma patient in G0/G1 phase was significantly decreased, while the proportions of cels in both S phase and G2/M phase from the myeloma patient were significantly increased. Interleukin-1β and interleukin-6 levels of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels from the patient with multiple myeloma were significantly higher than those of cels from healthy control. After intervention with 0.5, 1, 2 g/L astragalus polysaccharide, the interleukin-1β and interleukin-6 levels of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels from the patient with multiple myeloma were al significantly decreased. In conclusion, a certain concentration of astragalus polysaccharides can promote the proliferation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels and decrease the levels of interleukin-6 and interleukin-β in patients with multiple myeloma.

BACKGROUND:Traditional Chinese medicine shares wide application in clinical treatment because of its high security. At present, a lot of studies have been reported, in which, traditional Chinese medicine or monomers are used for in vitro differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells into cardiomyocyte-like cells.
OBJECTIVE:To summarize and analyze the research progress of Chinese medicine to induce the differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells into cardiomyocyte-like cells and to looking prospect for its application.
METHODS:CNKI database was searched for the articles about Chinese medicine-induced differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells into cardiomyocytes, published from January 2001 to January 2013. The key words were“Chinese medicine, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, cardiomyocyte”in Chinese and“bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, myocardial cells”in English. Obsolete or repetitive articles were excluded. Final y, 36 articles were included in result analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Different Chinese medicine formulations were used as inducers to induce differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells into cardiomyocytes, including Panax notoginseng saponins, salvianolic acid B, Jiawei Danshen Yin, icari n, astragaloside. Then, the induced cells were examined by immunohistochemistry and reverse transcription-PCR. The results showed that the induced cells were positive for Desmin, cardiac troponin I and major histocompatibility complex. Positive cells were fusiform and fibroblast-like morphology, which indicates a role in promoting proliferation and differentiation. These findings show that Chinese medicine-induced differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells into cardiomyocytes has become a worldwide research hotspot, providing a theoretical basis for clinical treatment of ischemic heart diseases.
