Gangliosides are complex glycosphingolipids that are the major component of cytoplasmic cell membranes, and play a role in the control of biological processes. Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) have received considerable attention as alternative sources of adult stem cells because of their potential to differentiate into multiple cell lineages. In this study, we focus on various functional roles of gangliosides in the differentiation of hMSCs into osteoblasts or neuronal cells. A relationship between gangliosides and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) activation during osteoblastic differentiation of hMSCs was observed, and the gangliosides may play a major role in the regulation of the differentiation. The roles of gangliosides in osteoblast differentiation are dependent on the origin of hMSCs. The reduction of ganglioside biosynthesis inhibited the neuronal differentiation of hMSCs during an early stage of the differentiation process, and the ganglioside expression can be used as a marker for the identification of neuronal differentiation from hMSCs.

Human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) isolated from human umbilical Wharton’s Jelly are a population of primitive and pluripotent cells. In specific conditions, hUCMSCs can differentiate into various cells, including adipocytes, osteoblasts, chondrocytes, neurocytes, and endothelial cells. However, few studies have assessed their differentiation into epidermal cells in vitro. To assess the potential of hUCMSCs to differentiate into epidermal cells, a microporous membrane-based indirect co-culture system was developed in this study. Epidermal stem cells (ESCs) were seeded on the bottom of the microporous membrane, and hUCMSCs were seeded on the top of the microporous membrane. Cell morphology was assessed by phase contrast microscopy, and the expression of early markers of epidermal cell lineage, P63, cytokeratin19 (CK19), and β1-integrin, was determined by immunofluorescence, Western blot, and quantitative real-time PCR (Q-PCR) analyses. hUCMSC morphology changed from spindle-like to oblate or irregular with indirect co-culture with ESCs; they also expressed greater levels P63, CK19, and β1-integrin mRNA and protein compared to the controls (p < 0.01). As compared to normal co-cultures, indirect co-culture expressed significantly greater CK19 protein (p < 0.01). Thus, hUCMSCs may have the capability to differentiate into the epidermal lineage in vitro, which may be accomplished through this indirect co-culture model. 相似文献

A number of recent studies have examined the ability of stem cells derived from different sources to differentiate into dopamine‐producing cells and ameliorate behavioural deficits in Parkinsonian models. Recently, using the approach of cell reprogramming by small cell‐permeable biological active compounds that involved in the regulation of chromatin structure and function, and interfere with specific cell signalling pathways that promote neural differentiation we have been able to generate neural‐like cells from human bone marrow (BM)‐derived MSCs (hMSCs). Neurally induced hMSCs (NI‐hMSCs) exhibited several neural properties and exerted beneficial therapeutic effect on tissue preservation and locomotor recovery in spinal cord injured rats. In this study, we aimed to determine whether hMSCs neuralized by this approach can generate dopaminergic (DA) neurons. Immunocytochemisty studies showed that approximately 50–60% of NI‐hMSCs expressed early and late dopaminergic marker such as Nurr‐1 and TH that was confirmed by Western blot. ELISA studies showed that NI‐hMSCs also secreted neurotrophins and dopamine. Hypoxia preconditioning prior to neural induction increased hMSCs proliferation, viability, expression TH and the secretion level of dopamine induced by ATP. Taken together, these studies demonstrated that hMSCs neurally modified by this original approach can be differentiated towards DA‐like neurons. 相似文献

The great shortage of human hepatic cells makes it desirable to generate extrahepatic stem or precursor cells. In recent years, it has been reported that human multipotential mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) differentiate into hepatocyte-like cells. The fetal lung is one of the largest organs containing many MSCs that can be easily obtained. Whether MSCs from fetal lung can differentiate into hepatocytes or bile duct cells is an important issue in basic medicine and clinical application. We isolated fetal lung cells, and expanded and analyzed them. At passage 4, their morphologic, immunophenotyping and cytokine secretions were similar to adult bone marrow-derived MSCs. We conclude that these cells from fetal lung are MSCs, indicating that human fetal lung is an ideal source of hMSCs. hMSCs from fetal lung induced in special differentiation medium showed homogeneous and small polygonal endothelial-like morphology, expressing weak mRNA, as well as Alb and AFP. This implies that hMSCs from fetal lung can differentiate into hepatocyte-like cells. 相似文献

Culture and neural differentiation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in vitro 总被引:23,自引:0,他引:23

Adult bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can differentiate into several types of mesenchymal cells, including osteocytes, chondrocytes, and adipocytes, but can also differentiate into non-mesenchymal cells, such as neural cells, under appropriate experimental conditions. Until now, many protocols for inducing neuro-differentiation in MSCs in vitro have been reported. But due to the differences in MSCs' isolation and culture conditions, the results of previous studies lacked consistency and comparability. In this study, we induced differentiation into neural phenotype in the same MSCs population by three different treatments: beta-mercaptoethanol, serum-free medium and co-cultivation with fetal mouse brain astrocytes. In all of the three treatments, MSCs could express neural markers such as NeuN or GFAP, associating with remarkable morphological modifications. But these treatments led to neural phenotype in a non-identical manner. In serum-free medium, MSCs mainly differentiated into neuron-like cells, expressing neuronal marker NeuN, and BME can promote this process. Differently, after co-culturing with astrocytes, MSCs leaned to differentiate into GFAP(+) cells. These data confirmed that MSCs can exhibit plastic neuro-differentiational potential in vitro, depending on the protocols of inducement. 相似文献

Human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) are potential cellular sources of therapeutic stem cells as they have the ability to proliferate and differentiate into a wide array of mesenchymal cell types such as osteoblasts, chondroblasts and adipocytes. hMSCs have been used clinically to treat patients with graft vs. host disease, osteogenesis imperfect, or alveolar cleft, suggesting that transplantation of hMSCs is comparatively safe as a stem cell-based therapy. However, conventional culture medium for hMSCs contains fetal bovine serum (FBS). In the present study, we developed a growth factor-defined, serum-free medium for culturing hMSCs. Under these conditions, TGF-beta1 promoted proliferation of hMSCs. The expanded hMSC population expressed the human pluripotency markers SSEA-3, -4, NANOG, OCT3/4 and SOX2. Furthermore, double positive cells for SSEA-3 and a mesenchymal cell marker, CD105, were detected in the population. The potential to differentiate into osteoblasts and adipocytes was confirmed. This work provides a useful tool to understand the basic biological properties of hMSCs in culture. 相似文献

To explore the feasibility of repairing clinical cutaneous deficiency, autogenic bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs)
were isolated and differentiated into epidermal cells and fibroblasts in vitro supplemented with different inducing factors and biomaterials to construct functional tissueengineered skin. The results
showed that after 72 h induction, BMSCs displayed morphologic changes such as typical epidermal cell arrangement, from spindle
shape to round or oval; tonofibrils, melanosomes and keratohyaline granules were observed under a transmission electronic
microscope. The differentiated cells expressed epidermal stem cell surface marker CK19 (59.66% ± 4.2%) and epidermal cells
differentiation marker CK10. In addition, the induced epidermal cells acquired the anti-radiation capacity featured by lowered
apoptosis following exposure to UVB. On the other hand, the collagen microfibrils deposition was noticed under a transmission
electronic microscope after differentiating into dermis fibroblasts; RT-PCR identified collagen type I mRNA expression in
differentiated cells; radioimmunoassay detected the secretion of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-8 (IL-8) (up to 115.06
pg/mL and 0.84 ng/mL, respectively). Further in vivo implanting BMSCs with scaffold material shortened skin wound repair significantly. In one word, autogenic BMSCs have the
potential to differentiate into epidermal cells and fibroblasts in vitro, and show clinical feasibility acting as epidermis-like and dermis-like seed cells in skin engineering. 相似文献

Signals in pathological CNS extracts of ALS mice promote hMSCs neurogenic differentiation in vitro 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The capability of MSCs to differentiate into neurons has been proven by many studies. Recently, other studies have cast doubt on MSCs neurogenic differentiation with non-physiological chemical inducing agents in vitro. This present study was designed to use conditioned medium to investigate whether signals from pathological condition of ALS were competent to induce a program of neurogenic differentiation in expanded cultures of hMSCs. Incubation of hMSCs with conditioned medium prepared from CNS extracts of ALS mice (SOD1-G93A ALS mice) resulted in a time-dependent morphological change from fibroblast-like into neuron-like, concomitant with increase in the expression of Nestin and subsequent beta-tubulin III, NSE and GAP43. Moreover, signals in pathological CNS extracts of ALS mice were more effective in promoting hMSCs neurogenic differentiation than those in physiological extracts of normal adult mice. These results show that pathological condition of ALS is endowed with capacity to induce hMSCs neurogenic differentiation and hMSCs have shown a potential candidate in cellular therapy for ALS. 相似文献

Alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency is a lethal hereditary disorder characterized by a severe diminution in plasma levels of AAT leading to progressive liver dysfunction. Since mesenchymal stem cells can differentiate into hepatocyte-like cells they offer a potential unlimited source in autologous transplant procedures. The transfer of genetically modified hepatocyte cells derived from hMSCs into the body constitutes a novel paradigm of coupling cell therapy with gene therapy for this disease. hMSCs were isolated by density gradient centrifugation and plastic adherence. Hepatic differentiation was induced by exposing hMSC to induction medium for up to 21 days. The mRNA levels and protein expression of several important hepatic genes were determined using RT-PCR and immunocytochemistry. The chimeric AAT-Jred transgene was transferred to differentiated cells using a lentiviral vector and its expression was visualized by fluorescent microscopy. Flow cytometric analysis confirmed that hMSCs were obtained. Major hepatocyte marker genes expression were confirmed by RT-PCR and immunocytochemistry. AAT gene was successfully introduced into hepatocyte-like cells differentiated from hMSCs. This established system could be suitable for generation of hMSC derived hepatocyte-like cells containing the normal AAT gene, thus offering a potential in vitro source of cells for transplantation therapy of liver diseases in AAT-deficient patients. 相似文献

Human bone mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) can differentiate into endothelial cells (ECs), so we aimed to investigate whether hMSCs could also differentiate into a specific arterial or venous ECs. hMSCs were induced to differentiate into ECs using vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Low VEGF concentration (50ng/ml) upregulated the venous marker gene EphB4, however high concentration (100ng/ml) upregulated the arterial marker genes ephrinB2, Dll4 and Notch4, and downregulated the venous marker genes EphB4 and COUP-TFll. This VEGF dose-dependent induction was largely blocked by inhibition of the Notch pathway in hMSCs treated with gamma-secretase inhibitor. Therefore, differentiation of hMSCs into arterial- or venous-specific ECs depends on VEGF and is regulated by the Notch pathway. 相似文献

Bovine brain cell lines with specific characteristics are useful in vitro experimental systems for molecular and cellular investigation of the interactions between bovine specific neuropathogenic agents and the host. Here, we established two novel cell lines from cultures of cryopreserved fetal bovine brain tissue by the transfection of SV40 large T antigen. Both cell lines showed cobblestone morphology in DMEM/F12 medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, epidermal growth factor and basic fibroblast growth factor. They were immunostained with endothelial marker, Von Willebrand Factor. Endothelial properties, such as capillary-like tube formation on matrigel and the incorporation of DiI-AcLDL were confirmed with these cells. Removal of growth factors increased the number of cells expressing alpha-smooth muscle actin, suggesting the potential of these cell lines to differentiate into smooth muscle cells. This study suggests an efficient protocol to immortalize brain endothelial cell lines from fetal bovine brain tissue culture. 相似文献

FGF-2 suppresses cellular senescence of human mesenchymal stem cells by down-regulation of TGF-beta2 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) are able to both self-replicate and differentiate into a variety of cell types. Fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) stimulates the growth of hMSCs in vitro, but its mechanisms have not been clarified yet. In this study, we investigated whether cellular senescence was involved in the stimulation of hMSCs growth by FGF-2 and the expression levels of transforming growth factor-beta1 and -beta2 (TGF-betas). Because hMSCs were induced cellular senescence due to long-term culture, FGF-2 decreased the percentage of senescent cells and suppressed G1 cell growth arrest through the suppression of p21(Cip1), p53, and p16(INK4a) mRNA expression levels. Furthermore, the levels of TGF-betas mRNA expression in hMSCs were increased by long-term culture, but FGF-2 suppressed the increase of TGF-beta2 mRNA expression due to long-term culture. These results suggest that FGF-2 suppresses the hMSCs cellular senescence dependent on the length of culture through down-regulation of TGF-beta2 expression. 相似文献

Adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs) have been reported to be multipotent and to differentiate into various cell types, including osteocytes, adipocytes, chondrocytes, and neural cells. Recently, many authors have reported that ASCs are also able to differentiate into vascular endothelial cells (VECs) in vitro. However, these reports included the use of medium containing fetal bovine serum for endothelial differentiation. In the present study, we have developed a novel method for differentiating mouse ASCs into VECs under serum-free conditions. After the differentiation culture, over 80% of the cells expressed vascular endothelial-specific marker proteins and could take up low-density lipoprotein in vitro. This protocol should be helpful in clarifying the mechanisms of ASC differentiation into the VSC lineage. 相似文献

Age-related intrinsic changes in human bone-marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells and their differentiation to osteoblasts 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
In vivo and in vitro studies indicate that a subpopulation of human marrow-derived stromal cells (MSCs, also known as mesenchymal stem cells) has potential to differentiate into multiple cell types, including osteoblasts. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that there are intrinsic effects of age in human MSCs (17-90 years). We tested the effect of age on senescence-associated beta-galactosidase, proliferation, apoptosis, p53 pathway genes, and osteoblast differentiation in confluent monolayers by alkaline phosphatase activity and osteoblast gene expression analysis. There were fourfold more human bone MSCs (hMSCs) positive for senescence-associated beta-galactosidase in samples from older than younger subjects (P < 0.001; n = 17). Doubling time of hMSCs was 1.7-fold longer in cells from the older than the younger subjects, and was positively correlated with age (P = 0.002; n = 19). Novel age-related changes were identified. With age, more cells were apoptotic (P = 0.016; n = 10). Further, there were age-related increases in expression of p53 and its pathway genes, p21 and BAX. Consistent with other experiments, there was a significant age-related decrease in generation of osteoblasts both in the STRO-1+ cells (P = 0.047; n = 8) and in adherent MSCs (P < 0.001; n = 10). In sum, there is an age-dependent decrease in proliferation and osteoblast differentiation, and an increase in senescence-associated beta-galactosidase-positive cells and apoptosis in hMSCs. Up-regulation of the p53 pathway with age may have a critical role in mediating the reduction in both proliferation and osteoblastogenesis of hMSCs. These findings support the view that there are intrinsic alterations in human MSCs with aging that may contribute to the process of skeletal aging in humans. 相似文献

Nuclear transfer embryonic stem cells (ntESCs) show stem cell characteristics such as pluripotency but cause no immunological disorders. Although ntESCs are able to differentiate into somatic cells, the ability of ntESCs to differentiate into primordial germ cells (PGCs) has not been examined. In this work, we examined the capacity of mouse ntESCs to differentiate into PGCs in vitro. ntESCs aggregated to form embryoid bodies (EB) in EB culture medium supplemented with bone morphogenetic protein 4(BMP4) as the differentiation factor. The expression level of specific PGC genes was compared at days 4 and 8 using real time PCR. Flow cytometry and immunocytochemical staining were used to detect Mvh as a specific PGC marker. ntESCs expressed particular genes related to different stages of PGC development. Flow cytometry and immunocytochemical staining confirmed the presence of Mvh protein in a small number of cells. There were significant differences between cells that differentiated into PGCs in the group treated with Bmp4 compared to non-treated cells. These findings indicate that ntESCs can differentiate into putative PGCs. Improvement of ntESC differentiation into PGCs may be a reliable means of producing mature germ cells. 相似文献

Embryonal stem (ES) cells that are homozygous null for the beta(1) integrin subunit fail to differentiate into keratinocytes in vitro but do differentiate in teratomas and wild-type/beta(1)-null chimeric mice. The failure of beta(1)-null ES cells to differentiate in culture might be the result of defective extracellular matrix assembly or reduced sensitivity to soluble inducing factors. By culturing embryoid bodies on dead, deepidermized human dermis (DED) we showed that epidermal basement membrane did not induce beta(1)-null ES cells to undergo keratinocyte differentiation and did not stimulate the differentiation of wild-type ES cells. Coculture with epidermal keratinocytes also had no effect. However, when human dermal fibroblasts were incorporated into DED, the number of epidermal cysts formed by wild-type ES cells increased dramatically, and small groups of keratin 14-positive cells differentiated from beta(1)-null ES cells. Fibroblast-conditioned medium stimulated differentiation of K14-positive cells in wild-type and beta(1)-null embryoid bodies. Of a range of growth factors tested, KGF, FGF10, and TGFalpha all stimulated differentiation of keratin 14-positive beta(1)-null cells, and KGF and FGF10 were shown to be produced by the fibroblasts used in coculture experiments. The effects of the growth factors on wild-type ES cells were much less pronounced, suggesting that the concentrations of inducing factors already present in the medium were not limiting for wild-type cells. We conclude that the lack of beta(1) integrins decreases the sensitivity of ES cells to soluble factors that induce keratinocyte differentiation. 相似文献

Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are a population of pluripotent cells which can differentiate into different cell types. However, there are few reports with regard to differentiate ESCs into epidermal cells in vitro. In this study, we aimed to investigate differentially methylated promoters involved in process of differentiation from ESCs into epidermal‐like cells (ELCs) induced by human amnion. We successfully induced ESCs into ELCs, which expressed the surface markers of CK19, CK15 and β1‐integrin. With MeDIP‐chip arrays, we identified 3435 gene promoters to be differentially methylated, involving 894 HCP (high CpG‐containing promoter), 974 ICP (intermediate CpG‐containing promoter) and 1567 LCP (low CpG‐containing promoter) among all the 17 500 DNA methylation regions of gene promoters in both ESCs and ELCs. Gene oncology and pathway analysis demonstrated that these genes were involved in all the three categories of GO enrichment analysis, including biological process, molecular function and cellular component. All these data suggested that embryonic stem cells can differentiate into epidermal‐like cells and promoter methylation is of great importance in this process.

Development of a rapid culture method to induce adipocyte differentiation of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) derived from bone marrow are multipotent stem cells that can regenerate mesenchymal tissues such as adipose, bone or muscle. It is thought that hMSCs can be utilized as a cell resource for tissue engineering and as human models to study cell differentiation mechanisms, such as adipogenesis, osteoblastogenesis and so on. Since it takes 2-3 weeks for hMSCs to differentiate into adipocytes using conventional culture methods, the development of methods to induce faster differentiation into adipocytes is required. In this study we optimized the culture conditions for adipocyte induction to achieve a shorter cultivation time for the induction of adipocyte differentiation in bone marrow-derived hMSCs. Briefly, we used a cocktail of dexamethasone, insulin, methylisobutylxanthine (DIM) plus a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ agonist, rosiglitazone (DIMRo) as a new adipogenic differentiation medium. We successfully shortened the period of cultivation to 7-8 days from 2-3 weeks. We also found that rosiglitazone alone was unable to induce adipocyte differentiation from hMSCs in vitro. However, rosiglitazone appears to enhance hMSC adipogenesis in the presence of other hormones and/or compounds, such as DIM. Furthermore, the inhibitory activity of TGF-β1 on adipogenesis could be investigated using DIMRo-treated hMSCs. We conclude that our rapid new culture method is very useful in measuring the effect of molecules that affect adipogenesis in hMSCs. 相似文献
