Abstract: | Simulation of microgravity for cultivated multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) from human marrow changes transiently expression of genes associated with actin cytoskeleton; the effect fades away partially in 120 hrs. following microgravity and completely after 24-hr cell readaptation to static conditions. These changes in expression of some cytoskeleton genes seem to predetermine their reaction to simulated microgravity, and therefore inhibition of MSCs differentiation potential. |
