abstract

objective(s): nowadays much effort is being invested in order to diagnose the mechanisms involved in neural differentiation. by clarifying this, making desired neural cells in vitro and applying them into diverse neurological disorders suffered from neural cell malfunctions could be a feasible choice. thus, the present study assessed the capability of fetal brain extract (fbe) to induce rat bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (bm-mscs) toward neural cells. materials and methods: for this purpose, bm-mscs were collected from rats and cultured and their mesenchymal properties were confirmed. after exposure of the bm-mscs to fetal brain extract, the cells were evaluated and harvested at days 3 and 7 after treatment. results: the bm-mscs that were exposed to fbe changed their appearance dramatically from spindle shape to cells with dendrite-like processes. those neural like processes were absent in the control group. in addition, a neural specific marker, vimentin, was expressed significantly in the treatment group but not in the negative control group. conclusion: this study presented the fbe as a natural neural differentiation agent, which probably has required factors for making neurons. in addition, vimentin overexpression was observed in the treated group which confirms neuron-like cell differentiation of bm-mscs after induction.

Study of Chondrogenic Effects of Chondrocytes Cocultured With Murine Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells

Purpose: Co-culture systems of marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (mMSCs) with mature chondrocytes have theoretically been considered as a putative way of MSCs chondrogenic differentiation. MSCs differentiated in this system could be used for transplantation purpose without of any need to their purification since the cells with which MSCs are co cultured are native cartilage cells. Despite o...

Regenerative Effect of Bone Marrow-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Thioacetamide-induced Liver Fibrosis of Rats

The present study determined the regenerative effect of bone marrow-derived stem cells (BMSCs) on thioacetamide (TA)-induced liver fibrosis in rats. A total of 30 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into sham control and treatment groups. The rats of the sham control group were subdivided into three groups and sampled on the 14th, 18th, and 20th weeks after fibrosis induction. The rats of th...

Harvesting of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells from live rats and the in vitro differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells into neuron-like cells

In the bone marrow, there are certain populations of stem cell sources with the capacity to differentiate into several different types of cells. Ideally, cell transplants would be readily obtainable, easy to expand and bank, and capable of surviving for sufficient periods of time. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) possess all of these characteristics. One of the most important benefi...
