BACKGROUND:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(BM-MSCs)have been shown to possess the potential to differentiate into oocytes.However,immune rejection and a limited number of donors of BM-MSCs constrain the applications of BM-MSCs.Several studies have demonstrated that human umbilical cord matrix stem cells(UC-MSCs)also have an intrinsic ability to differentiate into oocyte-like cells in vitro.OBJECTIVE:To establish the method for UC-MSCs culture and to investigate the in vitro differentiation potential of UC-MSCs towards germ cells.METHODS:Umbilical cord from full-term normal deliveries was obtained in sterile condition.Collagenase I-digested cells were cultured in DMEM.The immunophenotype of cells was determined by flow cytometry.Lipoblasts,osteoblasts and chondroblasts were induced in different condition cultures.The expression of germ cells specific marker in UC-MSCs was determined by reverse transcdption-polymerase chain reaction.Follicular fluid was employed to induce UC-MSCs differentiation into germ cells.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Spindle-like umbilical cord cells were shown and cells in culture were extended to more than 10passages.BM-MSCs-like immunophenotypes were shown:CD29,CD44,CD73(SH3),CD90 and CD105(SH2)were positive;SSEA-4 was weakly positive;CD31,CD34,CD45 and HLA-DR were negative.After UC-MSCs were induced in different condition cultures,lipid droplet-,bone tubercle-,and cartilage tubercle-like structures emerged and the mRNA expressions of specific gene of fat,bone and cartilage were observed.Germ cells markers,OCT4,Stella,Ifitm3,were expressed in UC-MSCs.After induced by 5%,10% or 20% follicular fluid,cells aggregated and oocyte-like structures were observed.Human UC-MSCs could be cultured and amplificated in vitro.UC-MSCs showed immunophenotypes similar to BM-MSCs.UC-MSCs had the potential to differentiate into lipoblasts,osteoblasts,and chondroblasts.Oocyte-like structure was induced in vitro from UC-MSCs with germ cells specific marker.These findings suggest that UC-NSCs have the potential to differentiate into germ cells.

Objective: To explore the influence of estradiol benzoate in induction of BALB/c mouse systemic lupus erythematosus model. Methods: Gonadectomied BALB/c mice were immunized with homologous spleen cell activated by concanavalin A three times,and at the same time injected with different doses estradial benzoate. Serum antinuclear antibody, antihistone antibody and estradiol in serum and kidney tissue homogenate were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Kidney lesions were detected by hematoxylin-eosine(HE) and periodic acid-Schiff(PAS) staining, and by transmission electron microscope for detecting electron-dense agent as well as by direct fluorometric method for detecting immunoglobulin G antigen-antibody complex. Results: BALB/c mice immunized with homologous spleen cells activated by concanavalin A all developed systemic lupus erythematosus, but a statistically significant variation was observed in both autoantibody production and kidney damage were observed with a statistically significant variatron in the groups receiving different dosage of estradiol benzoate group(P

To establish a cell model in vitro that stable expressing HBV by integrating HBA1.3 DNA into cell chromosome. The HBV1.3 full-length DNA was obtained by digested pGEM-HBV1.3 plasmid with HindIII and then was linked with PU-21 vector digested by HindIII. This was resulted in generation of a recombined plasmid named PU21-HBV plasmid. The recombined plasmid was introduced into HepG2 cells by electroporation. The transfected cells were screened with G418. The insertion and expression of HBV were identified by X-gal staining, RT-PCR and Southern blot. The result of PU21-HBV plasmid sequence demonstrated that HBV1.3 DNA was linked correctly with PU-21 vector. A series of positive cell colonies were obtained with G418 screening followed transfecting PU21-HBV plasmid into HepG2 cells. The results of Southern blot and RT-PCR exhibit that HBV1.3 DNA had successfully integrated into the chromosomes of HepG2 cells and had functional HBV gene transcription. HBV1.3 DNA was inserted into HepG2 genome and could stable transcript HBV RNA. The stable HBV expression cell line was constructed successfully. There are LoxP sites in the trapping vector PU21. With the Cre enzyme, interesting genes could be excganged into the LoxP sites. Therefore, double stable expression of interesting gene and HBV cell lines could be generated. The cell lines will be useful for further research some target gene function on replication of HBV.
