Poor understanding of the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has resulted in a low differentiation yield, and has hindered their application in medicine. As a solution, priming MSCs sensitive to signaling, thus stimulating differentiation into a specific cell lineage, may improve the differentiation yield. To demonstrate this, priming MSCs were produced by using a gelatin matrix for the isolation of primary MSCs from bone-marrow-derived primary cells. Subsequently, cellular characteristics and sensitivity to specific differentiation signals were analyzed at passage five. Compared to non-priming MSCs, priming MSCs showed no significant differences in cellular characteristics, but demonstrated a significant increase in sensitivity to neurogenic differentiation signals. These results demonstrate that generation of priming MSCs by specific extracellular signaling increases the rate of differentiation into a cell-specific lineage.
对间充质干细胞(MSCs)分化的认识不足导致其分化率低,限制了其在医学中的应用。作为解决方案,通过预先刺激 MSCs 对信号敏感,从而刺激其分化为特定的细胞谱系,可能会提高分化率。为了证明这一点,使用明胶基质从骨髓来源的原代细胞中分离原代 MSCs 来制备预刺激 MSCs。随后,在第 5 代时分析细胞特征和对特定分化信号的敏感性。与非预刺激 MSCs 相比,预刺激 MSCs 的细胞特征没有显著差异,但对神经发生分化信号的敏感性显著增加。这些结果表明,通过特定的细胞外信号生成预刺激 MSCs 可提高向特定细胞谱系分化的速度。
