脐带血来源间充质干细胞体外分离培养条件的优化

脐带血间充质干细胞（umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells,UCB-MSCs）不仅可以作为滋养层细胞支持造血干细胞在体外的大规模扩增,在造血移植过程中还能够降低并发症的发生率以及加速造血重建功能的恢复．但是,目前UCB-MSCs的原代分离培养成功率一般只有30％左右,为进一步提高该成功率,利用正交实验方法对UCB-MSCs体外培养的主要影响因素：细胞的接种密度、细胞因子的组合及用量、是否添加血清和滋养层细胞,进行逐层筛选,并对培养出的间充质干细胞进行了流式细胞分析和向成骨、软骨及脂肪方向的诱导分化检测,以期获得UCB-MSCs培养的最佳方法．实验结果表明,细胞的接种密度是UCB-MSCs培养最显著的影响因素（P〈0．1）,接种密度越大,MSCs越容易生长,能够培养出MSCs的几率就越大,其次为细胞因子,添加细胞因子能有效地刺激MSCs的生长．在高接种密度的基础上,添加细胞因子IL-3（15μg／L）和GM-CSF（5μg/L）,可大大提高UCB-MSCs体外原代培养的成功率,从30％左右提高到90％以上．流式细胞检测结果显示,所分离培养的细胞表达间充质干细胞的抗原（CD13^＋、CD29^＋、CD44^＋、CD105^＋、CD166^＋）,不表达造血细胞的抗原（CD34^-、CD45^-、HLA-DR^-）,并能够向成骨、软骨及脂肪方向分化,这与源于骨髓的间充质干细胞相一致．所建立的培养方法能够为UCB-MSCs的临床应用提供大量优质的种子细胞．

人脐带动脉与脐带静脉血管内皮细胞在体外相同培养环境下的定性研究

血管内皮细胞受损与许多心脑血管疾病的发生和发展有关,已成为当今生命科学、药学领域的重要的研究对象。体外分离获得血管内皮细胞以及鉴定对于研究血管功能和为心脑血管疾病建立细胞模型极为重要。该研究通过了一种简便快捷、分离纯度高的人脐带动脉内皮细胞(human umbilical cord artery endothelial cells,HUAEC)和脐带静脉内皮细胞(human umbilical cord vein endothelial cells,HUVEC)的分离及培养体系,同时从形态特征、增殖活力、成管能力、表面抗原和特异基因的表达等方面检测了二者在体外相同培养环境下的动态变化与差异。该研究发现,HUAEC和HUVEC在体外连续传代培养过程中形态特征、成管能力、表面抗原(CD144、CD31、CD309、CD133、CD34)这几个方面作为内个皮细胞的基本特性没有明显差异,尽管HUAEC相对于HUVEC增殖活力更高。对于新鲜分离的HUAEC和HUVEC,二者特异性基因表达水平具有显著差异(HUAEC高表达EFNB2、DLL4、NRP1、CXCR4;HUVEC高表达EPHB4、COUP-TF II),然而随着培养时间的延长(传代次数的增加),HUAEC丧失其特异性基因(P6)的表达之后,HUVEC仍保持其特异性基因的高表达。因此HUVEC特异性表达基因EPHB4、COUP-TF II可以作为区分体外培养的人脐带动脉或者脐带静脉来源的内皮细胞的可靠鉴定标志基因。

Different culture method changing CD105 expression in amniotic fluid MSCs without affecting differentiation ability or immune function

MSCs are kind of cultured cells that reside in different tissues as inducers or regulators of physiological and pathological processes. Here, we derived MSCs from amniotic fluid and compared their differentiation ability and immunosuppression effect on PHA-activated PBMC with those of MSCs isolated from umbilical cords. Amniotic fluid MSCs were isolated and cultured on commercial AFC medium and classic MSC medium, and the number and size of colonies were used to evaluate differences in primary and passaged culture. Rate of proliferation, population doubling time, cell morphology, cell surface markers and mRNA expression were measured in subcultured cells. Furthermore, a comparative study was performed with umbilical cord MSCs to assess the ability of differentiation and immunosuppressive effect of PHA-stimulated PBMCs. Amniotic fluid MSCs were isolated and expanded by three methods, and exhibited nearly all the characteristics of umbilical cord MSCs. Compared with umbilical cord MSCs, amniotic fluid MSCs had an enhanced osteogenic and chrondrogenic differentiation capability, and stronger immunosuppression effect of inhibition of PHA-activated PBMC division. Culture with commercial AFCs medium yielded the highest percentage of CD105 expression and showed some advantages in primary cell isolation, cell source-specific marker retention and cell proliferation. We demonstrated that amniotic fluid MSCs exhibited some advantages over umbilical cord MSCs, and different culture media caused cell proliferation, cell surface marker and cell morphology change, but were not associated with varying differentiation capability and immune effects.     

Human mesenchymal stem cells isolated from the umbilical cord

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are known as a population of multi-potential cells able to proliferate and differentiate into multiple mesodermal tissues including bone, cartilage, muscle, ligament, tendon, fat and stroma. In this study human MSCs were successfully isolated from the umbilical cords. The research characteristics of these cells, e.g., morphologic appearance, surface antigens, growth curve, cytogenetic features, cell cycle, differentiation potential and gene expression were investigated. After 2weeks of incubation, fibroblast-like cells appeared to be dominant. During the second passage the cells presented a homogeneous population of spindle fibroblast-like cells. After more than 4months (approximately 26 passages), the cells continued to retain their characteristics. Flow cytometry analysis revealed that CD29, CD44, CD95, CD105 and HLA-I were expressed on the cell surface, but there was no expression of hematopoietic lineage markers, such as CD34, CD38, CD71 and HLA-DR. Chromosomal analysis showed the cells kept a normal karyotype. The cell cycle at the third passage showed the percentage of G(0)/G(1), G(2)/M and S phase were 88.86%, 5.69% and 5.45%, respectively. The assays in vitro demonstrated the cells exhibited multi-potential differentiation into osteogenic and adipogenic cells. Both BMI-1 and nucleostemin genes, expressed in adult MSCs from bone marrow, were also expressed in umbilical cord MSCs. Here we show that umbilical cords may be a novel alternative source of human MSCs for experimental and clinical applications.     

Mesenchymal stromal cells ameliorate acute allergic rhinitis in rats

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have been extensively investigated as a potential antiinflammatory treatment in many inflammatory‐related diseases; however, it remains unclear whether MSCs could be used to treat acute allergic rhinitis. A rat model of allergic rhinitis was treated with MSCs. The effect of MSCs on the inflammation of allergic rhinitis was evaluated by sneezing, nose rubbing, the pathology of the nasal mucosa, and the expression of interleukin 4, tumour necrosis factor alpha, and immunoglobulin E in the serum of rats. Also, the population of MSCs isolated from umbilical cords of humans was evaluated to determine if they could inhibit the symptoms and inflammation of acute allergic rhinitis in a rat model. We observed that this population of cells inhibited sneezing, nose rubbing, and changes in the pathology of the nasal mucosa. Intriguingly, we observed that MSCs reduced the expression of interleukin 4, tumour necrosis factor alpha, and immunoglobulin E in the serum. Furthermore, MSCs reduced the expression of histamine and the recruitment of macrophages in the nasal mucosa of allergic rhinitis rats. We reasoned that the effect of MSCs on allergic rhinitis might be through its regulation of the secretion of related cytokines from macrophages during the process of acute allergic rhinitis. This work suggested that MSCs from the umbilical cords of humans could be used as a positive clinical therapy for the human disease.     

脐静脉和骨髓来源的间充质干细胞的比较研究

间充质干细胞(MSCs)的来源有限,成人骨髓是MSCs的主要来源,这极大地限制了其在实验和临床中的应用。为拓宽MSCs来源,从细胞形态、生长特性、免疫表型和多向分化能力等四个方面对人脐静脉来源和成人骨髓来源的间充质干细胞进行了比较研究。结果表明,人脐静脉来源和成人骨髓来源的 MSCs具有相似的生物学特征,成纤维细胞样形态生长,并具有强大的体外扩增和多向分化能力。人脐静脉来源的MSCs可替代成人骨髓MSCs,作为满足实验和临床需要的重要来源。     

A xeno-free culture method that enhances Wharton's jelly mesenchymal stromal cell culture efficiency over traditional animal serum–supplemented cultures

Background aimsMesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) transplantation holds great promise for use in medical therapies. Several key features of MSCs, including efficient cell growth, generation of sufficient cell numbers and safety, as determined by teratoma formation, make MSCs an ideal candidate for clinical use. However, MSCs derived under standard culture conditions, co-cultured with animal by-products, are inappropriate for therapy because of the risks of graft rejection and animal virus transmission to humans. Alternative serum sources have been sought for stem cell production.MethodsWe demonstrate for the first time that human serum from umbilical cord blood (hUCS) is an effective co-culture reagent for MSC production from Wharton's jelly MSCs (WJMSCs). Ten umbilical cords were used to generate parallel cultures of WJMSC lines under medium supplemented with hUCS and embryonic stem cell-qualified fetal bovine serum. The WJMSC lines from each medium were analyzed and compared with regard to cell line derivation, proliferation ability and characteristic stability.ResultsThe phenotypic characteristics of WJMSC derived under either medium showed no differences. WJMSC lines derived under hUCS medium displayed comparable primary culture cell outgrowth, lineage differentiation capacity and cell recovery after cryopreservation compared with supplementation with embryonic stem cell-qualified fetal bovine serum medium. However, superior cell proliferation rates and retention of in vitro propagation (>22 passages) were observed in WJMSC cultures supplemented with hUCS. Additionally, more robust population doubling times were observed in hUCS-supplemented cultures.ConclusionsWe conclude that hUCS is an efficient and effective serum source for animal product–free WJMSC line production and can generate MSC lines that may be appropriate for therapeutic use.     

A simple and serum-free protocol for cryopreservation of human umbilical cord as source of Wharton’s jelly mesenchymal stem cells

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) show promise in cell-based transplantations and regenerative medicine applications. MSCs from Wharton’s jelly (WJ) of umbilical cord can be easily harvested and exhibit greater proliferative activity than bone marrow MSCs. It is important to develop a practical cryopreservation technique to effectively store umbilical cord for potential future applications. Successful cryopreservation would allow access to umbilical cord from the same donor for repeated WJ MSC-based transplantations. For therapeutic applications, one should be able to obtain clinically-relevant quality and quantity of MSCs from cryopreserved tissues. In this study, we optimised a serum-free formulation of 10% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and 0.2 M sucrose for cryopreservation of umbilical cord tissue. Slow freezing and rapid thawing were adopted. MSCs harvested from WJ of cryopreserved umbilical cord could undergo robust expansion, differentiate to mesodermal lineages and express MSC-characteristic surface antigens. The cumulative cell yield, however, was less compared to corresponding fresh cord tissue.     

Element content of human umbilical artery and vein in umbilical cord

To elucidate the element content of newborn blood vessels, umbilical arteries and veins in human umbilical cords, which had the advantage of easy sampling, were examined by ICP-AES. Umbilical cords were removed after birth. Mothers’ ages ranged from 26 to 35 yr. It was found that the content of sulfur was the highest in both umbilical arteries and veins, being higher than the content of calcium and phosphorus. With respect of the content of sulfur, calcium, and magnesium, there were significant differences between the arteries and veins.
