Hypoxia is frequently used to enhance stem cell function. However, the optimal level of hypoxia for growth and function of human embryonic stem cell-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hES-MSCs) is yet to be determined. The purpose of this study was to find the optimal level of hypoxia for hES-MSCs and characteristics of hES-MSCs cultured under these optimal hypoxic conditions.
Cell viability and changes in the morphology of hES-MSCs were determined through cell proliferation and CCK-8 assay. The hES-MSCs were preconditioned under various hypoxic conditions (0.5∼5% O and 24∼72 h). The expression of cytokines in each culture condition was compared using cytokine array analysis. The morphology of hES-MSCs did not change under various hypoxic culture conditions. hES-MSCs viability after 48 h incubation in 2% O condition was higher than that in normoxic condition. HIF1 expression was increased up to six folds after 48 h of hypoxic preconditioning. HIF1 expression in hES-MSCs peaked after 48 h of incubation in 1% O condition. The expressions of PDGF-BB, IGFBP-6, VEGF-A, and angiogenin were increased after hES-MSCs were incubated for 48 h in 2% O condition.

缺氧常被用于增强干细胞功能。然而,人胚胎干细胞来源的间充质干细胞(hES-MSCs)生长和功能的最佳缺氧水平尚未确定。本研究的目的是找出hES-MSCs的最佳缺氧水平以及在这些最佳缺氧条件下培养的hES-MSCs的特性。
通过细胞增殖和CCK-8检测来确定hES-MSCs的细胞活力和形态变化。将hES-MSCs在各种缺氧条件(0.5∼5% O₂和24∼72小时)下进行预处理。使用细胞因子阵列分析比较每种培养条件下细胞因子的表达。在各种缺氧培养条件下,hES-MSCs的形态没有变化。在2% O₂条件下孵育48小时后,hES-MSCs的活力高于常氧条件下的活力。缺氧预处理48小时后,HIF1表达增加至六倍。在1% O₂条件下孵育48小时后,hES-MSCs中HIF1表达达到峰值。在2% O₂条件下将hES-MSCs孵育48小时后,PDGF-BB、IGFBP-6、VEGF-A和血管生成素的表达增加。
