目的　探讨人脐血间充质干细胞 (mesenchymalstemcells,MSC)的体外分离、纯化、扩增和向神经元样细胞的定向诱导分化条件。方法　无菌条件下采集正常人脐血 ,肝素抗凝 ,用相对密度为1.0 77的淋巴细胞分离液分离脐血单个核细胞 ,进而获得MSC。用MesencultTM 培养基进行纯化和扩增培养。用流式细胞仪检测MSC的表面标志。取扩增 2 ,5 ,8代的MSC分别向神经元样细胞诱导 ,免疫组化和组化法检测神经元样细胞特异性标志和结构。结果　脐血MSC每扩增一代 ,细胞数量增加约 2～ 3倍。 6 .6× 10 5个人脐血原代MSC在体外扩增 10代后获得 9.9× 10 8个细胞 ,扩增约 1.5× 10 3倍。流式细胞仪检测结果显示 ,脐血MSC不表达CD34 、CD1 1a和CD1 1b,强表达CD2 9,弱表达CD71 ,与骨髓MSC表面抗原特性一致。诱导后的细胞平均有 70 %左右呈现典型的神经元样表型 ,免疫组化法检测发现不同代数的MSC诱导后均表达神经丝蛋白 (neurofilament,NF)和神经元特异性烯醇化酶 (neuron specificenolase ,NSE) ;组织化学法检测可看到神经元特有结构尼氏体。结论　脐血MSC在体外有较强的扩增能力 ,能够向非间充质类细胞分化。

Study of in vitro expansion and differentiation into neuron-like cells of human umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells

OBJECTIVE: To explore the isolation, purification and expansion of human umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) into neuron-like cells in vitro. METHODS: Human cord blood samples were obtained sterilely with 20 U/ml preservative-free heparin. MSCs were isolated by lymphocyte separation medium (density 1.077 g/ml), and purified and expanded with Mesencult trade mark medium. The surface antigen expression of MSCs was detected by flow cytometry. The passage 2, 5 and 8 of the expanded MSCs were induced to differentiate to neuron-like cells. Specific markers and structures were detected by immunohistochemistry and histochemistry methods. RESULTS: The number of MSCs increased two- to three-fold with each expanded passage. 6.6 x 10(5) primary MSCs were expanded ten passages to reach a number of 9.9 x 10(8), and was increased about 1.5 x 10(3)-fold. Flow cytometry showed that MSCs did not express antigens CD(34), CD(11a) and CD(11b), but expressed strongly CD(29) and weakly CD(71), which was identical to human bone marrow-derived MSCs. 70% cells exhibited typical neuron-like phenotype after induction. Immunohistochemistry staining showed that all of the induced different-passage MSCs expressed neurofilament (NF) and neuron-specific enolase (NSE). Special Nissl body was found by histochemistry. CONCLUSION: MSCs in human umbilical cord blood can expand in vitro and differentiate into non-mesenchymal cells.
