ABSTRACT: To explore the ability of QY1 bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (MSCs) line cells to differentiate into adipocytes, chondrocytes, osteoblasts, cardiac myocytes,vascular endothelial cells, and neural cells in vitro.
The QY1 cells at passage 5 were treated with the adipogenic medium, the chondrogenic medium and the osteogenic medium, 5-azacytidine, vascular endothelial growth factor and neural cell medium (revulsant 1 was 10 mmol/L beta-mercaptoethanol; revulsant 2 was 2%dimethylsulfoxide and 10(-8)mol/L dexamethasone) in culture respectively in vitro. The differentiated cells were identified by staining, immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR.
The differentiated cells induced by the adipogenic medium formed adipocytes and contained fat lipid droplets, which were stained positively with Sudan III after 21 days of culture. The differentiated cells induced by the chondrogenic medium formed chondrogenic nodules, which were stained positively by Alcian blue at pH 1.0 after 21 days of culture. The differentiated cells induced by the osteogenic medium formed osteogenic nodules, which were stained positively by Von Kossa staining after 35 days of culture, and the secretion of a calcified extracellular matrix as black nodules was observed. The differentiated cells treated with 10 micromol/L 5-azacytidine could beat spontaneously and formed myotube structures,which were identified by the positive immunohistochemistry staining with anti-alpha-sarcomeric antibody and anti-Cx-43 antibody. The expression of alpha-myosin heavy chain was also observed by RT-PCR. The differentiated cells treated with 50 ng/mL vascular endothelial growth factor could form vascular endothelial cells and vascular endothelial web like structure, which were identified by the positive immunohistochemistry staining with CD31 and Factor VIII. The differentiated cells induced by revulsant 1 were positive in the immunohistochemistry staining with neuron-specific nuclear protein, while the expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein was negative. The differentiated cells induced by revulsant 2 were positive in the immunohistochemistry staining with glial fibrillary acidic protein, while the expression of neuron-specific nuclear protein was negative.
QY1 bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell line has the ability to differentiate into adipocytes, chondrocytes, osteocytes, cardiomyocytes, vascular endothelial cells, neurons and neural glial cells in vitro. A bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell line cell can at least differentiate into 7 types of cells, which come from mesoderm and ectoderm.

ABSTRACT: To explore the differentiation potential of QY1 bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (MSCs) line cells into cardiacmyocytes and vascular endothelial cells in vitro, to optimize the suitable conditions of MSCs differentiating into cardiomyocytes in vitro, and to examine the potentials of MSCs differentiating into cardiomyogenesis and vasculogenesis.
Specifically committed differentiation inductive medium was employed, including 5-azacytidine for cardiomyogenesis and vascular endothelial growth factor for vasculogenesis in culture respectively in vitro. The differentiated cells were identified by immunohistochemistry and molecular biology.
MSCs line cells had been cultured in the normal culture medium for 72 hours, then the differentiation inductive medium including 10 micromol/L 5-azacytidine was added into the normal culture dishes for 24 hours only. After that the culture medium was changed back to the normal culture medium. Normal culture medium was changed every 7 days. The second induction was performed after 14 days. The differentiated cells treated with 5-azacytidine could beat spontaneously and formed myotube structures in the optimal induction conditions, and the differentiation rate was (39.47+/-0.56)%. The differentiated cells expressed specific cardiomyocytic proteins identified by the positive immunohistochemistry staining with anti-alpha-sarcomeric antibody and anti-Cx-43 antibody, and also expressed the alpha-myosin heavy chain examined by RT-PCR. The differentiated cells began to appear as the lined up vascular endothelial cells after 48 hour treatment with vascular endothelial growth factor. Some of the differentiated cells connected each other to form vascular endothelial web-like structure after 7 day treatment with vascular endothelial growth factor. On 14 d after treating with vascular endothelial growth factor, the differentiated cells were identified by immunohistochemistry staining. The expressions of both specific surface antibody CD31 and factor VIII for vascular endothelial cells were positive.
The cells of QY1 bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell line may differentiate into cardiomyocytes or vascular endothelial cells in vitro under specific condition.

ABSTRACT: To explore the optimal culture conditions in vitro and the biological characterizations of the QY1 pluripotential mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) line from Sprague-Dawley rat bone marrow and to analyze the biological stability of this MSC line so as to provide an ideal cell model for the further differentiation and actual application.
The methods and technologies of cell biology and stem cell tissue engineering were used to purify MSCs. We determined the effects of morphology of cell proliferation, the time of change medium, growth curves, doubling time, adhesive rates, chromosome, culture conditions, and repeated frost on the biological characterizations of MSCs.
The cells had a fibroblastic-like morphology and were well spread out; 80% - 90% cells became confluent between 10 and 12 days in primary culture. The growth curves of Passage 1, 3, 10, and 20 were quite similar (P>0.05). The doubling time of passage 1, 3, 10, and 20 were 34.2, 33.9, 31.8, and 30.6 hours, respectively. The adhesive rates of Passage 1, 3, 10, and 20 were very much similar (P>0.05) and about 89% subcultured cells adhered to the wall in 10 hours. The most appropriate concentration of serum was 20% and the most appropriate concentration of cell number was 8 x 10(4)/mL. The cells of Passage 8 showed light red cytoplasm and heavy blue nuclear stained by Giemsa staining. The chromosomes of Passage 8 and 20 were normal in appearance and their karyotypes were 42, XY. The cells were resuscitable after repeated frozen, and more than 85% cells were alive. The cells had been continuously cultured for more than 10 months so far.
The QY1 MSCs line from Sprague-Dawley rat bone marrow is a purified cell line, which can maintain its undifferentiation and the stable biological characterizations for the long term.
