BACKGROUND:Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) exist in human tissues.Presently,cell source is single;culture method has great differences;obtained results are not consistent.Thus,it cannot verfy that isolated and cultured cells are identical calls,which is difficult to compare.OBJECTIVE:To compare the biological features of MSCs derived form bone marrow (BM),perpheral blood (PB) and cord blood (CB) under in vitro culture conditions.DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:The cytological in vitro controlled study was performed at the Department of Hematology,Navy General Hospital of Chinese PLA from June 2007 to December 2008.MATERIALS:A total of 10 donors of hemopoietic stem cell transplantation at the Department of Hematology,Navy General Hospital of Chinese PLA were selected.MB and PB cells were obtained from the same donor,and cell volumes were respectively 20 mL and 2 mL.CB cells (30 mL) were obtained from healthy primipara at the Department of Obstetrics,Navy General Hospital of Chinese PLA.METHODS:MSCs were obtained from BM,PB and CB by Percoll density gradient + adherence method,and then incubated in DMEM/F12 medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum.When 80%-90% confluency,cells were digested in trypsin-EDTA and made into 5×10~8/L cell suspension as P_0.Above-described operation was performed as P_1,and the rest may be deduced by analogy as P_2-P_5.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:The following parameters were measured:cell growth morphology;results of Wright-Giemsa staining;results of cytochemistry;cell proliferation amount;cell surface markers using flow cytometry.RESULTS:Time of adherence,time to 50% confluency and time to 80% confluency of BMSCs were earlier comarped with the PBMSCs and UCMSCs.Adherent cells from BM grew in whirpool-like type,while CB and PB did not at 5-7 days.Majority of aderent cells from BM were fibroblast-like cells,and small parts were endothelioid cells.Aderent cells from PB and CB at the fifth generation contained more endothelioid cells and mononuclear and macrophage-like cells besides fibroblast-like cells.PAS stain,Sudan black B stein,alkaline phosphatase (AKP) staining of adherent cells from BM,PB and CB were negative from P_1 to P_5.Compared with P0 cells,number of BMMSCs till P5 was significantly more in PBMSCs and UCMSCs (P ＜ 0.05).Positive rates of CD29,CD44,CD90,CD71,CD105,CD166 and HLA-ABC were 55.9% 92.8% at P0 to P5,but ≤6% following BMMSCs were incubated;19.7%-33.4% at P0 to P5,but ≤10% following PBMSCs were incubated;35.4%-93.2% at P_0 to P_5,but ≤20% following CBMSCs were incubated.Positive rates of CD34,CD45 and HLA-DR were low in BM-,PB-and CB-MSCs.Positive rates of CD14 and CD31 were low in BMMSCs;12.1%-28.3% in PBMSCs,and 8.1%-21.3% in CBMSCs.CONCLUSION:MSCs can be attained from BM,PB and CB.Quantities of MSCs form BM are the highest,with single component,followed by CBMSCs and PBMSCs,with multiple components.

Objective To explore the safety of mobilization and collection as well as the feasibility of selection of autologous peripheral blood stem cells (auto-PBSC) from patients with juvenile severe autoimmune diseases (AID) for autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT). The clinical significance of these procedure is evaluated. Methods Eight patients with AID, including four patients with systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE),two patients with dermatomysoitis, one patient with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA), one patient with multiple sclerosis(MS),underwent auto-HSCT. Auto-PBSCs were mobilized in 8 patients using cyclophosphamide(CTX) and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), and their PBSCs were collected by CS-3000 Blood Cell Separator, then the CD34+cells were selected and purified by CliniMACS CD34+cell selection device. The CD34+ cells were frozenand preserved under -80 ℃ ALL patients received non-myeloablative or lymphoablative conditioning regimens which consisted of CTX/Mel/ATG or CTX/ATG or BEAM/ATG. All patient received CD34+ cells transplantation. The safety of mobilization and collection process of auto-PBSC as well asthe feasibility of selection and purification of CD34+cells were recorded and hematopoietic reconstruction were evaluated. Results All patients tolerated the collection process well, and there was no mobilization-related mortality. The number of collected MNCs and CD34+ cells were 8.35×108/kg and 7.92×106/kg respectively. The number of CD34+ and CD3+ cells after purification was 6.28×106/kg and0.71 ×105/kg respectively. The mean granulocytes and platelet engraftment occurred on days 11 and 15 after G-CSF regimen, and they can be collected using CS-3000 instrument. PBSC mobilization and collection from patients with juvenile severe AID is safe. The CD34+ cell can be highly purified. The auto-PBSC CD34+cell transplantation is an alternative therapy for severe AIDs that do not respond to conventional treatments.

Objective To screen permethrin human single-chain variable region (scFv) antibody for aims of developing rapid detection kit. Methods Phage display technology was used in this study. Permethrin was solid phase coated on Nunc plate as antigen. Semi-synthetic single-chain variable region of human antibody library technology was applied, and single chain variable region was screened from phage antibody library after 3 rounds "adsorption - elution - amplification" of the selection process. 100 clones were random selected as resistance to permethrin clones , enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), crossreactivity and competitive inhibition experiments were used to validate permethrin binding activity with strong scFv clones from the selected phage antibody clones plasmid. The plasmid was digested with restriction enzyme Sfi Ⅰ / Not Ⅰ and subcloned into pCANTAB5E vector. After transformed into E. coli XL1BIue, the plasmid was identified by restriction enzyme analysis. Results After screening in 100 clones, 18 clones had high ELISA absorbance values ( A value) at 490nm wavelength ( A490nm), then bovine serum albumin (BSA) cross-reactions identified five weak cross-reaction. Combined with the triplicate ELISA and competitive inhibition experiment results, one positive clone was acquired at last. And this clone was subcloned into pCANTAB5E vector and transformed into competent cells XL1-Blue. Conclusion Plasmid fragment was consistent with the purpose, which provided the foundation for further study of its specific affinity.
