人脐血间充质干细胞的培养条件比较

目的摸索人脐血间充质干细胞（mesenchymal stem cell,MSC）的培养条件。方法根据不同采血量、首次换液时间、胎龄、不同培养基对样本分组，比较不同培养条件对脐血中的间充质干细胞原代生长的影响，以流式细胞仪对培养出的间充质干细胞进行细胞表面标志检测。结果在相同条件下，取10ml的脐血能较大程度培养出间充质干细胞；观察首次换液时间在培养后96h较为合适，延长换液时间有利于数量不占优势的单核细胞充分贴壁：早产胎儿的脐血培养出的间充质干细胞成功率较高；胎牛血清的质和量决定了培养成功与否。培养出的间充质干细胞不表达造血细胞系的标志（CD34、CD45、CD14）及内皮细胞的标志（CD106），强表达CD29、CD44、CD13。结论样本量、首次换液时间、胎龄、培养基的质和量对MSCs的成活、生长有关键作用。     

Isolation and characterization of human smooth muscle cells from umbilical cord vein and their reconstitution in a vascular co-culture model with underlying endothelial cells

Smooth muscle cells have been isolated from human umbilical cord veins, characterized and cultured for the development of an endothelialsmooth muscle cell co-culture system. After harvesting endothelial cells, the umbilical cords were trimmed of amnion, connective tissue and arteries, split into pieces, cut open longitudinally and placed with the luminal surface of the explant down onto a culture plate, without the use of proteolytic enzymes. Adherent primary cells were sequentially passaged and various cytological/biochemical characterizations were performed between passages 2 and 10. Cells stained positive for antibodies against smooth muscle actin, negative for antibodies against factor VIII and displayed typical hill and valley morphology when confluent. Cell proliferation was stimulated and supported in a concentration-dependent manner by both human serum and fetal bovine serum over the range 1%–20%. The use of human serum at concentrations >10% decreased the population doubling time during exponential growth by circa 50%. The cells were also characterized by high seeding efficiencies (>70%) and retained their diploid karyotype for up to 3 months in culture. Endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells prepared from umbilical veins were then seeded at varying densities onto either side of porous tissue culture inserts coated with fibronectin. Utilising the measurement of electrical resistance, the optimal seeding density of 5×10⁴ cells/cm² for each cell type gave maximal resistance across the cell bi-layer already after 24 hours, which remaining essentially unaltered for up to 4 days of culture and which was always substantially higher than the resistance of filters seeded only with endothelial cells on one side. This was not substantially affected either by increasing passage of the HUVSM cells cultured with a fixed passage of endothelial cells, or by varying the donor origin of the endothelial cells. In terms of functionality of the selective permeability of the model, the calcium ionophore ionomycin (25 M), added to the endothelial side of the bi-layer, caused a 30% reduction in the electrical resistance across the co-culture within 60 minutes, with control resistance being re-established within 1 hour of removal of the ionophore by washing. These results clearly indicate that smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells prepared from the same human blood vessel can be reconstituted into a functional vascular model suitable for the study of biochemical, physiological and toxicological phenomena in the human vascular wall.Abbreviations BCA bicinchoninic acid - BSA bovine serum albumin - DMEM DMEM medium supplemented with 4.5 g/l glucose, 100 IU/ml penicillin, 100 g/ml streptomycin and 1.25 g/ml fungizone - DMEM-1 DMEM supplemented with 20% FBS, 300 IU/ml penicillin, 300 g/ml streptomycin and 3.75 mg/ml fungizone - DMEM-2 DMEM supplemented with 20% FBS, 100 IU/ml of penicillin, 100 g/ml of streptomycin and 1.25 g/ml of fungizone - DMSO dimethyl sulfoxide - FBS fetal bovine serum - HPF human pulmonary fibroblasts - HS human serum - HUVE human umbilical vein endothelial - HUVSM human umbilical vein smooth muscle - M199 M199 medium supplemented with 20% HS, 100 IU/ml penicillin, 100 g/ml streptomycin, 1.25 g/ml fungizone and 2 mM L-glutamine - P passage number - PBS phosphate buffered saline - TCA trichloroacetic acid - vwF von Willebrand factor (factor VIII)

Deficient IFN-γ Expression in Umbilical Cord Blood (UCB) T Cells Can Be Rescued by IFN-γ-Mediated Increase in NFATc2 Expression

Regulation of nuclear factor of activated T cells-c2 (NFATc2) gene expression is not clearly defined. We previously reported reduced NFATc2 protein expression in cord blood T lymphocytes. Here we show that NFATc2 expression in T cells is dependent in part on the presence of IFN-gamma during primary stimulation, as blocking of IFN-gamma blunted NFATc2 protein and mRNA upregulation. Conversely, addition of exogenous IFN-gamma during stimulation resulted in increased expression of NFATc2 in cord blood T lymphocytes. This correlated with rescue of deficient IFN-gamma expression by cord blood T cells. Rescue of IFN-gamma expression in cord blood T cells was dependent on the presence of antigen-presenting cells, as addition of IFN-gamma during stimulation of purified cord blood T cells did not result in an increase of IFN-gamma expression, and depletion of monocytes ablated the rescue of IFN-gamma expression. Our results point to impaired function in the antigen-presenting cell population of cord blood, playing a role in the hyporesponsiveness of T cells.     

Hemopoietic and Lymphoid Progenitor Cells in Human Umbilical Cord Blood

Human umbilical cord blood, which in the past was discarded with the placental tissue, provides a convenient source of fetal hemopoietic cells for scientific analysis and clinical use. Cord blood cells are immature compared to analogous populations in adult peripheral blood. Cord blood B lymphocytes display unique phenotypic and functional characteristics. The antigens CD1C, CD38, CD5, and CD23, although normally expressed on only a small percentage of circulating B cells in adults, are highly expressed on cord blood B cells. Recent studies have demonstrated that whereas cord blood B cells are functionally naive, their potential is similar to that of adult B cells if optimal T-cell help is available. Thus, the failure of B-cell responses in cord blood is due to the T cells. The functional abnormalities of T cells from newborns can be summarized as a dominance of the effects of TH0 cells. Thus, the cytokines produced are immunosuppressive rather than mediating helper activity for B cells. NK activity in cord blood is also depressed compared to that in adults. Cord blood is a very rich source of hemopoietic progenitor cells. The spectrum of progenitors shows a predominance of early progenitor cells when compared with bone marrow. These cells provide an alternative source to adult bone marrow for stem cells to use for hemopoietic reconstitution and as targets in the treatment of hereditary deficiencies by gene therapy. These features make cord blood a unique research tool to investigate hemopoietic ontogeny and a unique clinical tool for transplantation.

Increase of fetal arterial blood temperature by reduction of umbilical blood flow in chronically instrumented fetal sheep

The effect of reduced umbilical blood flow rate on fetal core temperature was investigated in five chronically instrumented fetal sheep (gestational age 124 days). On average, fetal-maternal temperature difference increased 0.13±0.02 °C when blood flow rate was decreased to about 1/3 of normal (248±69 ml min^–1) for 30 min. The small temperature rise is the consequence of predominant heat dissipation through the placenta, and of diminished oxygen consumption.
