| Abstract: | AIM：To study the isolation,expansion and purification of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from human umbilical cord blood (UCB),and investigate some biological identities of MSCs.METHODS：(1) MSCs of UCB,adult bone marrow (BM) and fetus BM were isolated by centrifugation with Ficoll,and the different kinds of MSCs were observed everyday.(2) Surface markers of MSCs were identified by flow cytometry.(3) The level of HGFs (TPO,SCF,FLT-3L,IL-6) secreted by different sources of MSCs was checked by ELISA method.RESULTS：(1) No difference in morphology of the colonies between UCB MSCs and BM MSCs was observed.However,the mononuclear cells needed in culture of UCB MSCs was about 3 times more than that in culture of BM MSCs.The times of UCB MSCs colony formation and confluencing were longer than that of BM in primary culture.(2) After passaged,there was no significant difference in the proliferation rates of 3 kinds of MSCs.Only 4 of 15 UCB samples contained a homogeneous population of MSCs.(3) UCB MSCs shared the same markers with BM MSCs.Neither hematopoietic marker nor immunologic recognition antigens were expressed.(4) The level of hematopoietic growth factors (HGFs) secreted by 3 kinds of MSCs was similar.CONCLUSIONS：(1) MSCs were isolated from UCB,but the amount of MSCs in UCB was smaller than that in BM,and just seldom samples of UCB contained homogeneous MSCs.(2) MSCs from UCB and BM shared the same biological characteristics,such as proliferation ability,surface markers,immunophenotypes and HGFs secretion. |
