Abstract:

Human bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (HBMSCs) have the potential to differentiate into cells such as adipocyte, osteocyte, hepatocyte and endothelial cells. In this study, the differentiation of hBMSCs into endothelial like-cells was induced in presence of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1). The differentiated endothelial cells were examined for their ability to express VEGF receptor-2 (VEGFR2) and von willebrand factor (vWF). Then the cells were adopted to grow and develop capillary network in a semisolid gel matrix in vitro. The capillary network formation in a well of 24-well plate was found to be 85% in presence of VEGF (50ng/ml) and IGF-1 (20ng/ml) of the culture media. These data may suggest that the expression of endothelial markers in endothelial like-cells derived from hBMSCs is associated with their ability to form capillaries.

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...

Differentiation Potential of Nestin (+) and Nestin (-) Cells Derived from Human Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells into Functional Insulin Producing Cells

The feasibility of isolating and manipulating mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from human patients provides hope for curing numerous disease and disorders. Recent phenotypic analysis showed heterogeneity of MSCs. A nestin progenitor cell is a subpopulation within MSCs which plays a role in pancreas regeneration during embryogenesis. This study aimed to separate nestin (+) cells from human bone mar...

3D study of capillary network derived from human cord blood mesenchymal stem cells and differentiated into endothelial cell with VEGFR2 protein expression

New blood forming vessels are produced by differentiation of mesodermal precursor cells to angioblasts that become endothelial cells (ECs) which in turn give rise to primitive capillary network. Human cord blood (HCB) contains large subsets of mononuclear cells (MNCs) that can be differentiated into endothelial-like cells in vitro. Human mononuclear progenitor cells were purified from fresh umb...

Comparative Analysis of Mesenchymal Stem Cells Isolated from Human Bone Marrow and Wharton’s Jelly

Introduction: Bone marrow (BM) is a known source of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that are used for cell therapy. This study attempts to identify if the Wharton’s Jelly (WJ) is a suitable substitute for BM as a source for MSCs. Materials and Methods: A population of human WJ and BM stem cells were isolated and incubated with fluorescein conjugated antibodies for five specific MSC markers....

Biological behaviors of muscarinic receptors in mesenchymal stem cells derived from human placenta and bone marrow

Objective(s): Cells perform their functional activities by communicating with each other through endogenous substances and receptors. Post-translation, stem cells function properly in new host tissue by carrying specific cell surface receptors. We aimed to characterize muscarinic receptor subtypes in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) together with osteogenic and adipogenic...
