Abstract

Objective To isolate the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs) from the GFP-expressing mouse, and to study the osteoblastic differentation of the cells. Methods MSCs were isolated by density gradient centrifugation, then the clutrued cells were induced to osteoblastic differentiation using the conditional medium. We detectd the expression of GFP and MSCs differentiation into osteoblasts by histochemistry and immunochemistry. Results The MSCs maintained the expression of GFP during expanded and induced process. After induced for 10 days, lots of alkaline phosphatase and osteoclcin staining positive cells were observed.Conclusion The MSCs of GFP-expressing mouse were successfully isolated and differentiated into ostoblasts. It may be valuable for tracing the seeding cells in tissue engineering bone.
