Isolation and characterization of mesenchymal stem cells from chicken bone marrow

The bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are multipotent stem cells, which can differentiate in vitro into many cell types. However, the vast majority of experimental materials were obtained from human, mouse, rabbit and other mammals, but rarely in poultry. So, in this study, Thirty- to sixty-day old chicken was chosen as experimental animal, to isolate and characterize BMSCs from them. To investigate the biological characteristics of chicken BMSCs, immunofluorescence and RT-PCR were used to detect the characteristic surface markers of BMSCs. Growth curves were drawn in accordance with cell numbers. To assess the differentiation capacity of the BMSCs, cells were induced to differentiate into osteoblasts, adipocytes, and endothelial cells. The surface markers of BMSCs, CD29, CD44, CD31, CD34, CD71 and CD73, were detected by immunofluorescence and RT-PCR assays. The growth curves of different passages were all typically sigmoidal. Karyotype analysis showed that these in vitro cultured cells were genetically stable. In addition, BMSCs were successfully induced to differentiate into osteoblasts, adipocytes, and endothelial cells. The results suggest that the BMSCs isolated from chicken possess similar biological characteristics with those separated from other species, and their multi-lineage differentiation potentiality herald a probable application for cellular transplant therapy in tissue engineering.

Comparison of gingiva‐derived and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells for osteogenesis

Presently, bone marrow is considered as a prime source of mesenchymal stem cells; however, there are some drawbacks and limitations. Compared with other mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) sources, gingiva‐derived mesenchymal stem cells (GMSCs) are abundant and easy to obtain through minimally invasive cell isolation techniques. In this study, MSCs derived from gingiva and bone marrow were isolated and cultured from mice. GMSCs were characterized by osteogenic, adipogenic and chondrogenic differentiation, and flow cytometry. Compared with bone marrow MSCs (BMSCs), the proliferation capacity was judged by CCK‐8 proliferation assay. Osteogenic differentiation was assessed by ALP staining, ALP assay and Alizarin red staining. RT‐qPCR was performed for ALP, OCN, OSX and Runx2. The results indicated that GMSCs showed higher proliferative capacity than BMSCs. GMSCs turned more positive for ALP and formed a more number of mineralized nodules than BMSCs after osteogenic induction. RT‐qPCR revealed that the expression of ALP, OCN, OSX and Runx2 was significantly increased in the GMSCs compared with that in BMSCs. Moreover, it was found that the number of CD90‐positive cells in GMSCs elevated more than that of BMSCs during osteogenic induction. Taking these results together, it was indicated that GMSCs might be a promising source in the future bone tissue engineering.

GNAS knockdown suppresses osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells via activation of Hippo signaling pathway

Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are a suitable option for cell-based tissue engineering therapies due to their ability to renew and differentiate into multiple different tissue types, such as bone. Over the last decade, the effect of GNAS on the regulation of osteoblast differentiation has attracted great attention. Herein, this study aimed to explore the role of GNAS in osteogenic differentiation of MSCs. A total of 85 GNAS^f/f male mice were selected for animal experiments and 10 GNAS^f/f male mice for BMSC isolation to conduct cell experiments. The mice and BMSCs were treated with Verteporfin (a Hippo signaling pathway inhibitor) to inhibit the Hippo signaling pathway or recombinant adenovirus-expressing Cre to knockout the GNAS expression. Next, computed tomography scan, Von Kossa staining, and alizarin red staining were performed to detect osteogenic differentiation ability. Moreover, immunohistochemistry and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining were used to assess the expression of Oc and Osx in femur tissues and ALP activity. At last, the expression of GNAS, osteogenic markers, and factors related to the Hippo signaling pathway was evaluated. Initially, the results displayed successful knockout of the GNAS gene from mice and BMSCs. Moreover, the data indicated that GNAS knockout inhibits expression of Oc, Osx, ALP, BMP-2, and Runx2, and ALP activity. Additionally, GNAS knockout promotes activation of the Hippo signaling pathway, so as to repress osteogenic differentiation. Collectively, depleted GNAS exerts an inhibitory role in osteogenic differentiation of MSCs by activating Hippo signaling pathway, providing a candidate mediator for osteoporosis.     

Serum‐free medium with osteogenic supplements induces adipogenesis in rat bone marrow stromal cells

Adult BMSCs (bone marrow stromal cells) contain MSCs (mesenchymal stem cells). MSCs can differentiate into osteoblasts, chondrocytes, adipocytes and myoblasts and are thus considered useful in tissue engineering for therapeutic and clinical purposes. FCS (fetal calf serum) is usually included in the differentiation medium, but the clinical application of FCS may pose a problem for some patients. To improve the efficiency and safety of BMSC cultivation, the effect of SF (serum‐free) conditions on the osteogenic differentiation of rat BMSCs was examined. In the presence of 10% FCS and osteogenic supplements, the cells formed mineralized von Kossa‐positive deposits. Under SF conditions with osteogenic supplementation, however, the cells possessed cytosolic lipid vacuoles that could be stained with Oil Red O. The mRNA expression of PPARγ (peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor γ), an adipogenic marker, increased under the SF condition with osteogenic supplements. These data indicate that rat BMSCs differentiate into adipocytes under SF conditions even with osteogenic supplementation and that FCS is needed to induce proper osteogenic differentiation in rat BMSCs.     

Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells differentiate into urothelial cells and the implications for reconstructing urinary bladder mucosa

To determine the ability of cultured bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) to differentiate into functional urothelium. BMSCs were isolated from the long bones of aborted fetal limbs by Percoll density gradient centrifugation and characterized by flow cytometry. Human fetal urinary bladders were cut into small pieces and cultured for 3–5 days until the growth of urothelial cells was established. BMSCs were then cocultured with neonatal urothelial cells and subsequently evaluated for antigen expression and ultramicrostructure, by immunocytochemistry and electron microscopy, respectively. A subset of BMSCs expressed the differentiation marker CD71. The BMSC markers CD34, CD45, and HLA-DR were barely detectable, confirming that these cells were not derived from hematopoietic stem cells or differentiated cells. In contrast, the stem cell markers CD29, CD44, CD105, and CD90 were highly expressed. BMSCs possessed the ability to differentiate into a variety of cellular subtypes, including osteocytes, adipocytes, and chondrocytes. The shapes of BMSCs changed, and the size of the cells increased, following in vitro coculture with urothelial cells. After 2 weeks of coculture, immunostaining of the newly differentiated BMSCs positively displayed the urothelial-specific keratin marker. Electron microscopy revealed that the cocultured BMSCs had microstructural features characteristic of epithelial cells. Pluripotent BMSCs can transdifferentiate into urothelial cells in response to an environment conditioned by neonatal urothelial cells, providing a means for the time-, labor- and cost-effective reconstruction of urinary bladder mucosa.     

Stromal stem cells from adipose tissue and bone marrow of age‐matched female donors display distinct immunophenotypic profiles

Adipose tissue is composed of lipid‐filled mature adipocytes and a heterogeneous stromal vascular fraction (SVF) population of cells. Similarly, the bone marrow (BM) is composed of multiple cell types including adipocytes, hematopoietic, osteoprogenitor, and stromal cells necessary to support hematopoiesis. Both adipose and BM contain a population of mesenchymal stromal/stem cells with the potential to differentiate into multiple lineages, including adipogenic, chondrogenic, and osteogenic cells, depending on the culture conditions. In this study we have shown that human adipose‐derived stem cells (ASCs) and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) populations display a common expression profile for many surface antigens, including CD29, CD49c, CD147, CD166, and HLA‐abc. Nevertheless, significant differences were noted in the expression of CD34 and its related protein, PODXL, CD36, CD 49f, CD106, and CD146. Furthermore, ASCs displayed more pronounced adipogenic differentiation capability relative to BMSC based on Oil Red staining (7‐fold vs. 2.85‐fold induction). In contrast, no difference between the stem cell types was detected for osteogenic differentiation based on Alizarin Red staining. Analysis by RT‐PCR demonstrated that both the ASC and BMSC differentiated adipocytes and osteoblast displayed a significant upregulation of lineage‐specific mRNAs relative to the undifferentiated cell populations; no significant differences in fold mRNA induction was noted between ASCs and BMSCs. In conclusion, these results demonstrate human ASCs and BMSCs display distinct immunophenotypes based on surface positivity and expression intensity as well as differences in adipogenic differentiation. The findings support the use of both human ASCs and BMSCs for clinical regenerative medicine. J. Cell. Physiol. 226: 843–851, 2011. © 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
