ABSTRACT
Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are increasingly being used in bone marrow transplantation (BMT) to enable homing of the allogeneic hematopoietic stem cells and suppress acute graft versus host disease (aGVHD). The aim of this study was to optimize the labelling of BMSCs with superparamagnetic iron oxide particles (SPIOs), and evaluate the impact of the SPIOs on the biological characteristics, gene expression profile and chemotaxis function of the BMSCs. The viability and proliferation rates of the SPIO-labeled BMSCs were analyzed by trypan blue staining and CCK-8 assay respectively, and the chemotaxis function was evaluated by the transwell assay. The expression levels of chemokine receptors were measured by RT-PCR and flow cytometry. The SPIOs had no effect on the viability of the BMSCs regardless of the labelling concentration and culture duration. The labelling rate of the cells was higher when cultured for 48 h with the SPIOs. Furthermore, cells labeled with 25 µg/ml SPIOs for 48 h had the highest proliferation rates, along with increased expression of chemokine receptor genes and proteins. However, there was no significant difference between the chemotaxis function of the labeled and unlabeled BMSCs. To summarize, labelling BMSCs with 25 µg/ml SPIOs for 48h did not affect their biological characteristics and chemotaxis function, which can be of significance for in vivo applications.
