abstract

background: stem cell therapy for the treatment of vascular-related diseases through functional revascularization is one of the most important research areas in tissue engineering. the aim of this study was to investigate the in vitro differentiation of umbilical cl-msc into endothelial lineage cells. methods: in this study, isolated cells were characterized for expression of msc-specific markers and osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation. they were induced to differentiate into endothelial-like cells and then examined for expression of the endothelial-specific markers, karyotype, and functional behavior of cells. results: isolated cells expressed msc-specific markers and differentiated into adipocytes and osteoblasts. after endothelial differentiation, they expressed cd31, vwf, ve-cadherin, vegfr1, and vegfr2 at both mrna and protein level, but their morphological changes were not apparent when compared with those of undifferentiated cells. there were no significant changes in karyotype of differentiated cells. furthermore, angiogenesis assay and ldl uptake assay showed that differentiated cells were able to form the capillary-like structures and uptake ldl, respectively. conclusion: the results indicated that umbilical cl-msc could differentiate into functional endothelial-like cells. also, they are suitable for basic and clinical studies to cure several vascular-related diseases.

In-vitro Differentiation of Human Umbilical Cord Wharton’s Jelly Mesenchymal Stem Cells to Insulin-Producing Cells

  Background & Objective: Diabetes is a major chronic metabolic disease in the world. Islet transplantation is a way to treat diabetes. Unfortunately, this method is restricted due to graft rejection and lack of donor islets. Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCS) have the ability to differentiate into Insulin-Producing Cells (IPCs). In this study, Human Umbilical Mesenchymal Stem Cells (HUMSCS) were in...

Differentiation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells Derived From Human Adipose Tissue into Cholinergic-like Cells: In Vitro Study

Introduction: Cholinergic-associated diseases currently constitute a significant cause of neurological and neurodegenerative disabilities.  As the drugs are not efficient in improving the suffered tissues, stem cell treatment is considered an effective strategy for substituting the lost cells. Methods: In the current study, we set out to investigate the differentiation properties of human adip...
