abstract

background: since embryonic stem (es) cells have the dual ability to proliferate indefinitely and differentiate into multiple tissue types, es cells could potentially provide an unlimited cell supply for human transplantation. objective: in order to study the differentiation of mouse embryonic stem (mes) cells, they were cultured in suspension by using es media without leukemia inhibitory factor (lif) to induce spontaneous differentiation. cellular morphology of differentiated derivatives was then evaluated. materials and methods: undifferentiated mes from our laboratory were cultured in three different settings by using es media containing 0.1% / 1mm trypsin/edta and removing lif; in the absence of murine embryonic fibroblast (mef) feeder cells (group 1), in the presence of mef feeder cells with a density of 0.5×105 cells/ml (group 2), and 0.5×106 cells/ml (group 3). five days after the initiation of cell culture, and inducing mes cells to form embryoid bodies (ebs), they were removed from dish by centrifugation, and then they were cultured on collagen coated dishes for 20 days. the dishes were fixed and stained by wright-gimsa method at the end of the study period. results: in group 1, mes cells showed spontaneous differentiation to all derivatives of three germ cells, including: epithelia like, fibroblast like and neron-like cells. in group 2, almost all es cells were found to be differentiated into granular progenitor cells including hematopoietic cell lineages. in group 3, various morphologies including nerve cell lineages and fibroblast-like cells were detected. conclusion: differentiation of mes cells can be a dose response process, depending on the factors that may be released from mef feeder layer to es media in a coculture system. our results indicated that in the presence of low numbers of mef cells, mes cells can spontaneously differentiate into hematopoeitic cell lineages.

The Effect of chick Embryonic Somites on Neural Rosette Formation in Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells

purpose: The aim of the present study is to understand if EBs can generate neural rosette upon co-culture with chick embryo somites. Materials and Methods: The mouse ES cells, line Royan Bl, were cultured in hanging drops to induce embryoid bodies (EBs) formation. Somites were isolated from the chick embryos and then embedded in alginate solution. Finally, alginate beads containing somites were...

The effect of BMP4 on mouse embryonic stem cell proliferation and differentiation into primordial germ cells

Background and Aim: Artificial gamete production from stem cells is a novel strategy for treatment of infertility. Among various stem cell sources, embryonic stem cells (ESC) can be considered as an appropriate source for in vitro formation of germ cells. In this study we evaluated the effect of BMP4 on proliferation and differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells into primordial germ cells (...

Evaluation of effect of chick embryonic notochord on neural induction of mouse embryonic stem cells

Introduction: The aim of this study was evaluate the ability of notochord to induce neural induction and/or differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cell to neuron and motor neuron, respectively. Methods: In order to produce embryoid bodies, ES cells line Royan B1 were grown in suspension in the absence of LIF for 4 days. EBs were divided into 4 groups. EBs in group 1 & 2 were further cultur...
