<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>Though the rabbit is one of most widely used experimental animals for medical regenerative research, it remains difficult to culture mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) on a in large scale due to the extremely lower number and hematopoietic cell contamination. This study was aimed to establish a novel protocol to generate rabbit MSC by culturing bone marrow plugs instead of bone marrow cells so as to obtain a large amount of MSC with higher proliferation and self-renewal properties.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The primary MSC were generated from collagenase digested bone marrow plugs and bone marrow cells, respectively. The surface antigen profile of MSC was analyzed with flow cytometry and the cells were induced to differentiate into osteoblasts and adipocytes. The proliferation capacity of MSC were assessed by CCK-8 method. To test their self-renewal property, the colony forming unit-fibroblast assay was performed. Moreover, the cell yields of passage 1, 2, 3 and 4 were calculated.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The bone marrow plug-derived MSC shared the typical fibroblast-like morphology same as bone marrow cells derived MSC. Moreover, the ratio of CD45 positive hematopoietic cells in bone marrow plug-derived MSCs was significantly lower than that of bone marrow cell-derived MSC. The results of multi-differentiation experiments showed that bone marrow-plug-derived MSC exhibited similar multi-potent property to their bone marrow counterparts. In addition, the results of CCK-8 and CFU-F assay demonstrated that bone marrow plug-derived MSC grew more robustly and more CFU-F were formed in the culture plates, which indicated that the cells possessed higher proliferation and self-renewal capacities. Promisingly, a larger amount of cells were harvested via using the new protocol.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The purity and yields of the bone marrow plug-derived MSC are satisfactory compared with previous rabbit MSC isolation methods.

This study was aimed to investigate the effect of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) on the migration in vitro of the murine mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) and its related mechanisms. The migration ability of murine MSC (C3H10T1/2), ICAM-1 transfected MSC (C3H10T1/2-MIGR1-ICAM-1) and empty vector-transfected MSC (C3H10T 1/2-MIGR1) were assayed in vitro by using the transwell system. Briefly, the cells were seeded on the membrane with 8 µm aperture and the fetal bovine serum was used as the chemotactic agent to induce MSC migration. The transmigrated cells were stained by crystal purple as well as DAPI for 8 h and 12 h respectively. The absolute cell numbers were counted and the migration rates of MSC were evaluated in each group. To explore the potential mechanisms which control the migration of MSC, the specific chemical inhibitors of MAPK pathway (SB203580, PD98059 and JNK inhibitor II) were added to the transwell system and the alteration of the MSC migration ability were evaluated at 12 h. The results showed that the migration ability at 8 h and 12 h of the ICAM-1-transfected MSC increased. Both absolute cell number and migration rate of MSC were significantly up-regulated by ICAM-1. Furthermore, the promoting effect of ICAM-1 on migration was partially suppressed by the inhibition of JNK/SAPK pathway. The transmigrated cell numbers and the migration rate decreased with the addition of JNK inhibitor II. However, the ICAM-1 promoting migration of MSC was not suppressed by the inhibitors for ERK/MAPK and p38/MAPK pathway did not work in the present study. It is concluded that ICAM-1 can induce mouse MSC migration in vitro, and the promoting effect is partially dependent on the activation of JNK/SAPK pathway.

This study was aimed to investigate the effect of different irradiation doses on the establishment of murine cGVHD model after MHC matched spleen stem cell transplantation. The male mouse BALB/c(H)-2d was totally irradiated with different radiation dose of (60)Co (TBI), then was infused with the same number of splenocytes from MHC matched DBA/2 male mice. After transplantation, the bodyweight, general appearance, hair changes, survival time and pathological damage were observed. The results indicated that compared to the control group (0 Gy) and the 7.0 Gy group, the mice irradiated with 7.5 Gy and 8.0 Gy showed cGVHD symptoms and obvious pathological damage. At the end of experiments (60 d after transplantation), all mice irradiated by 7.5 Gy survived while only 60% animals survived in the 8.0 Gy group. It is concluded that under infusion of 10(8) MHC matched splenocytes per mouse, 7.5 Gy irradiation is appropriate to efficiently establish cGVHD model. This study laid an important foundation for further studying the pathogenesis, biological characteristics, and intervention factors of cGVHD.

This study was aimed to construct the mouse VCAM-1 expression vector, to establish the stably transfected MSC line and to investigate the effect of VCAM-1-modified mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) on the immunological characteristics of MSC. The cDNA of murine VCAM-1 gene was amplified by RT-PCR from the total RNA isolated from the mouse spleen; then the cDNA was inserted into the retrovirus vector PMSCVmigr-1; the recombinant plasmid was confirmed by restriction endonuclease experiments and sequencing, then designated as PMSCVmigr-1-mVCAM-1; the recombinant plasmid PMSCVmigr-1-mVCAM-1 was transfected into 293 cells by lipofecamin and the supernatant was collected to transfect MSC cell line (C3H10T1/2). Moreover, VCAM-1 expression on MSC was evaluated by FACS. Furthermore, the inhibitory effect of VCAM-1-MSC on lymphocytic transformation was tested by (3)H-TdR incorporation assay. The results indicated that the successful construction of recombinant retroviral expression plasmid of mouse VCAM-1 was confirmed by digesting and sequancing. After transfection of MSC with retroviral supernaptant, the high expression of VCAM-1 on MSC could be detected by flow cytometry. The MSC high expressing VCAM-1 could significantly inhibit the proliferation of Con A-inducing lymphocytes in dose-depentent marrer. It is concluded that recombinant retroviral encoding VCAM-1 (PMSCVmigr-1-mVCAM-1) has been successfully constructed and mouse VCAM-1 has been stably expressed in C3H10T1/2. MSC over-expressing VCAM-1 show more potent immunosuppressive effect on cellular immune reaction in vitro. Our data laid a foundation for the subsequent studying the effect of VCAM-1 transfecting into MSC on immune related disease study.

This study was purposed to elucidate the influence of donor mouse age on the establishment of murine acute graft versus host disease (aGVHD) model after allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The male mice with 2-week-old, 10-week-old and 18-week-old mice (BALB/cH-2Kb) were taken as donors. The 8-week-old mice (BALB/c, H-2Kd) were selected as recipients. Each group animals were irradiated with 7.5 Gy (60)Co for total body, the recipient mice were injected intravenously with 1 × 10⁷ bone marrow cells and 1 × 10⁷ spleenoctyes from various donors in 4-5 hours after irradiation. Mouse transplant characteristics and survival were observed every day. The white blood cell number in peripheral blood of each group were counted at day 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 after transplantation. Furthermore, the pathological damage in the liver, spleen, lung and intestines were evaluated by sectioning and in situ hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. The results showed that compared with the 2-week-old and 10-week-old donor groups, mice received bone marrow (BM) cells and splenocytes from 18-week-old mice showed higher incidence of aGVHD, lower clinical GVHD scores and suffered from diarrhea, ruffled hair, a hunched posture, and diminished body weight. In contrast, mice received BM cells and splenocytes from 2-week-old donor mice indicated attenuated GVHD symptoms and survived longer. The histo-pathological analysis in 18-week-old donor group demonstrated the most serious pathological damage in the liver, spleen, lung and intestines. It is concluded that the donor age has been confired to have an obvious influence on the establishment of murine aGVHD model. This study lay an important foundation for establishing animal models and may be helpful for further study.

This study was aimed to explore the molecular mechanism of the regulatory effects of ICAM-1 on the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) to adipocytes. The murine MSC cell line C3H10T 1/2 was treated with the supernatants contained plasmid MIGR1-ICAM-1 and MIGR1-ICAM-1/MSC (high expression of ICAM-1), the activation of the pathway was detected by Western blot. The ICAM-1 modified MSC and its control cells named MIGR1/MSC were cultured in adipocyte medium with or without the inhibitors of the ERK, P38, and JNK pathway. Oil-red-O staining was used to detect the lipid accumulation, and the expression of C/EBPα and PPARγ in differentiation of MSC to adipocyte were examined by real-time-PCR. The results showed that the overexpression of ICAM-1 stably activated the ERK, P38, and JNK pathway in MSC. Inhibiting of the activation of ERK pathways by chemical inhibitors up-regulated the mRNA expression level of C/EBPα and PPARγ in MIGR1-ICAM-1/MSC while inhibiting of P38 pathway resulted in lower mRNA expression of the transcription factors. Consistent with the mRNA expression, the lipid droplets were getting smaller and number of adipocytes increased when P38 pathway was inhibited, while bigger lipid droplet and increased quantity of adipocytes were identified in MIGR1-ICAM-1/MSC with the addition of ERK pathway inhibitor. It is concluded that ICAM-1 may suppress MSC differentiate into adipocyte via activating ERK pathway, while it can maintain the adipogenesis of MSC though P38 pathway.

This study was purposed to establish a convenient and efficient method for isolating and culturing mouse bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSC). The femurs and tibias of mouse were taken under sterile condition. MSC were isolated and cultured with flushing- out bone marrow or collagenase-digested bone fragment or bone marrow plus bone fragment. MSC colony number and size were compared. Immunophenotype and differentiation ability were tested to identify MSC. The results showed that colonies from bone marrow plus bone fragment group came out earliest and the colony number was 20 ± 4 at day 4; there were 11.5 ± 2.5 colonies in collagenase-digested bone fragment group and 9.5 ± 1.5 in flushing- out bone marrow group. The total cell yields of MSC after passaging showed best in bone marrow plus bone fragment group. Flow cytometry data showed the cultured cells expressed Sca-1, CD44 and CD29, not expressed pan-leukocyte surface marker CD45 and endothelial cell marker CD31. The isolated and cultured MSC could differentiate into osteoblast at the osteogenic differentiation condition, or adipocyte at adipogenic differentiation condition. It is concluded that the method of bone marrow plus bone fragment is convenient and efficient for isolating and culturing MSC.

This study was purposed to investigate the regulatory effects of differentiating mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) on osteoclast formation. The MSC from mouse compact bones were cultured and induced into osteoblasts and adipocytes for one week. To test their regulatory effect on osteoclastogenesis, osteogenically differentiated and adipogenically differentiated MSC were co-cultured with CD11b(+) monocytes and osteoclasts were identified with in situ tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining. The results showed that differentiated MSC supported osteoclastogenesis but the osteoclast supporting capacity of osteogenically differentiated MSC decreased as compared with undifferentiated MSC. More interestingly, the adipogenically differentiated MSC significantly promoted osteoclasts formation when co-cultured with monocytes. It is concluded that the regulatory effect of MSC on osteoclast formation has changed while they have differentiated into different types of cells. The findings indicate that MSC may exert alternative effect on osteoclastogenesis by differentiation to descendant cells.

This study was aimed to investigate whether endothelium-specific deletion of PTEN can affect hemangioblast development in the AGM region of mouse embryos. Based on Cre/loxP system, the Tie2CrePten(loxp/loxp) and Tie2CrePten(loxp/wt) mouse embryos were obtained. The genotype was identified by PCR. After treated with type I collagenase, the AGM region was dispersed into single-cell suspension, and then was cultured in blast colony-forming cell (BL-CFC) media. The number of BL-CFC was counted 4 or 5 days later. The hematopoietic capacity of BL-CFC was detected in methylcellulose culture system and the endothelial potential was assessed by tube-like structure formation on Matrigel. The results showed that the number of BL-CFC in AGM region of Tie2CrePten(loxp/loxp) mouse embryo decreased as compared with Tie2CrePten(loxp/wt) embryo. Whereas the hematopoietic capacity of mutant BL-CFC was enhanced, the endothelial potential, as evaluated by tube-like structure formation in vitro, was significantly reduced. It is concluded that the endothelial PTEN is capable of exerting regulatory functions on both the numbers and the dual potential of hemangioblast in mouse AGM region.

The AMSC were isolated from human umbilical cord amnion by using digestion with collagenase. They were identified by morphology, growth characteristics, immunophenotyping and differentiation ability. Furthermore, the immunoregulatory effects of AMSC and BMMSC were tested by lymphocyte transformation and mixed lymphocyte reaction. The results showed that AMSC and BMMSC possessed similar biological characteristics such as exhibition of fibroblastic morphology and strong proliferation ability in vitro. Flow cytometric analysis revealed that the AMSC highly expressed CD73, CD90, CD105, but negative for CD34, CD45, HLA-DR, and CD86 of BMMSC. Functionally, they all could differentiate into adipocyte, osteocytes and chondrocytes. Moreover, AMSC could inhibit cellular or nonspecific mitogenic stimuli-induced T cell proliferation with a dose-dependent manner. Reverse transcriptional-polymerase chain reaction also demonstrated expression of the similar immune cytokines in AMSC and BMNSC. It is concluded that the MSC derived from human umbilical cord amnion may be an excellent alternative source for experimental and clinical application.

This study was purposed to investigate the effect of RUNX1 on transcription activity of WNT5A promoter in mouse bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), and to explore the mechanism by which bone marrow environments regulate MSC. RT-PCR was used to detect the expression of RUNX1 in MSC isolated from mouse bone marrow and cultured in vitro; the chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) was used to investigate the direct in vivo interaction between the RUNX1 and WNT5A promoter; retrovirus system was utilized to introduce the RUNX1 gene into MSC to detect the regulation of RUNX1 on the transcription activity of WNT5A promoter. The results showed that mouse bone marrow derived MSC was positive for Oil Red O, van Kossa and toluidine blue staining respectively and RUNX1 expressed in MSC. WNT5A promoter could be bound by RUNX1, and the expression level of WNT5A was enhanced with the increase of RUNX1. It is concluded that RUNX1 expresses in mouse bone marrow derived MSC, WNT5A is a direct target gene of RUNX1 and its transcriptional activity is regulated by RUNX1.
