Effects of parathyroid hormone on calcium ions in rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem ceils / 中国组织工程研究

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:Parathyroid hormone can activate a series of physiological and biochemical reactions through specific receptors on the surface of target organs,to adjust the dynamic calcium balance.OBJECTIVE:To explore the mechanisms whereby parathyroid hormone maintains in vitro proliferation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs),by observing the effects of parathyroid hormone on calcium ions in BMSCs.METHODS:BMSCs at passage 4 were randomly divided into two groups.Experimental group was treated with parathyroid hormone,and control group was treated with routine culture medium.During 10 days of culture,MTT assay was used to detect BMSCs proliferation.At 7 and 14 days after treatment,laser scanning confocal microscopy was used to detect fluorescence intensity of calcium ions in BMSCs in the two groups.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) At 1 and 2 days after culture,the cell viability in the two groups was sluggish.At 3 days after culture,the cells turned into the rapid growth.At 7 and 8 days after culture,the cell growth turned into the plateau.At 10 days after culture,the cell proliferation ability had a weakening trend,which was lower in the control group than in the experimental group (P ＜ 0.05).(2) At 7 days after culture,the fluorescence intensity of intracellular calcium ions was strong.As the induction time extended,the fluorescence intensity of intracellular calcium ions was declined at 14 days after-culture.At 7 and 14 days after culture,the fluorescence intensity of intracellular calcium ions in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group (P ＜ 0.001).There was no difference in the fluorescence intensity of intracellular calcium ions between experimental group at 14 days and control group at 7 days.To conclude,parathyroid hormone could increase the fluorescence intensity of calcium ions in BMSCs,and function to maintain the BMSCs proliferation.
