恒河猴骨髓间充质干细胞分离培养及其生长特性

采用密度梯度离心和贴壁筛选方法分离纯化了恒河猴骨髓间充质干细胞(mesenchymal stem cells from bone marrow of Rhesus monkey,RhBMSCs);通过表面抗原检测和核型分析对细胞进行了初步鉴定;通过生长曲线的绘制和细胞凋亡的检测探讨了细胞的生长特点。本实验获得的RhBMSCs形态以梭型为主,核型正常,CD29表达率为99.2%,CD34、CD45、HLA-DR表达率均低于3.2%,RhBMSCs表型符合间充质干细胞的特点,且纯度较高,细胞生长旺盛,但倍增时间有随传代数的增加而逐渐延长的趋势。本实验探讨了RhBMSCs的体外分离、扩增培养及鉴定的方法,并对其生长特点进行了初步观察,这不仅有助于进一步了解与之近似的人的骨髓间充质干细胞的相关特性,而且为以猕猴为对象的BMSC定向分化和组织修复等动物体内实验打下了基础。

Isolation, Culturing and Growth Characteristics of Mesenchymal Stem Cells from Bone Marrow of Rhesus Monkey, Macaca mulatta

Mesenchymal stem cells from bone marrow of Rhesus monkey (RhBMSCs) were isolated by density gradient centrifugation, purified by adherence separation, and further identified by phenotype and karyotype analysis. Growth characteristics of RhBMSCs were investigated by observation of cell proliferation and detection of apoptosis. Density gradient centrifugation and adherence separation revealed a simple method to obtain fairly pure RhBMSCs. Fusiform was the most common form of cell under observation, and cell karyotype was normal. Phenotyping assay revealed that the RhBMSCs are highly positive (99.2%) for CD29 when compared with the low positive rates (less than 3.2%) for CD34, CD45 and HLA-DR, which indicated a successful isolation of high purity RhBMSCs and a vigorous activity of cells to proliferate. But the proliferation activity of RhBMSCs gradually decreased following the increasing of cell generations. The methods and results of isolation, expansion, identification and growth characteristics of RhBMSCs were discussed in this paper, which may be helpful to understanding the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells of human, and may serve as the groundwork for orientated differentiation of RhBMSCs and tissue repairment on experimental animal model of rhesus monkey.
