Assessment of Biological Properties of Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells Characteristics Prior To Differentiation

چکیده
Mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells are continuous cell lines derived directly from the fetal founder tissue of the pre-implantation embryo and can be expanded in vitro and give rise to cells from ectodermal, mesodermal and endodermal layers. Mouse ES cells can be maintained and their numbers expanded by culture on feeder layer cells with LIF present in the culture medium. This study shows that changes in seeding density can significantly influence cell number expansion rates. Culturing ES cells in the absence of feeder layer cells and LIF stimulates EB formation when cultured in non-adherent culture plates. Formation of EBs particularly numbers, size of EBs formed, rates of cell proliferation within EBs and viability of cells can also be controlled based on seeding density. All these factors are important for optimizing approaches to co-ordinate differentiation towards a specific cell type. A key goal of ES cell research is to develop specific functional cell types which can be potentially used to study mechanisms of tissue development and as a therapy to repair or replace damaged or diseased tissues.

Background and Aim: Embryonic stem cells are identified with two unique characteristics. First, they can be maintained and expanded as pure populations of undifferentiated cells, a characteristic which is known as self renewal aspect of embryonic stem cells. Second, these cells can give rise to all body cell types. In the current study, we used a feeder-free condition to differentiate mouse emb...
متن کاملEmbryonic stem cells derived cardiomyocytes are a suitable model for assessment of cardiotoxic effects of doxorubicin and other drugs
Introduction: Doxorubicin is frequently used for treatment of several types of cancer. Doxorubicin cardiac toxicity has limited the use of this drug. Corticosteroids may prevent doxorubicin induced cardiotoxicity. Therefore the aim of this study was to evaluate mouse embryonic stem cells derived cardiomyocytes as a model to evaluate the effect of Doxorubicin and dexamethasone. Methods: Mouse ...
