Methods: Immunocytochemistry, Western blot and electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) were used. Results: The expression of NF-kB in cultured mouse bone marrow stromal cells (BM-SCs) on the level of protein was elevated after exposure to 60Co in the dosage of 8. 0 Gy with the use of im-munocytochemistry and Western blot. The activity of nuclear factor-kappa B in cultured BMSCs was significantly increased after exposure to gamma irradiation by using EMSA. The activity peak was at the 4th h after irradiation. Conclusion: Our results suggest that the activation of nuclear factor-kappa B in the BMSCs after irradiation may be involved in the protection of BMSCs against apoptosis and in the recovery of hematopoiesis after radiation.展开更多

We identified a new population of MSCs derived from human placenta and compared its biological characterization with bone marrow derived MSCs.Methods Mononucleated cells (MNC) were isolated from the human placenta tissue perfusate by density gradient fractionation. Individual colonies were selected and cultured in tissue dishes. At the same time,human bone marrow derived MSCs were identified. Culture-expanded cells were characterized by immune phenotyping and cultured under conditions promoting differetiation to osteoblasts or adipocytes. The hematopoietic cytokines were assayed using reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Results Human placental MSCs exhibited fibroblastoid morphology. Flow cytometric analyses showed that the placental MSC were CD29,CD44,CD73,CD105,CD166,HLA-ABC positive; but were negative for CD34,CD45,and HLA-DR. Functionally,they could be induced into adipocytes or osteocytes. Moreover,several hematopoietic cytokine mRNA was found in placenta-derived MSCs by RT-PCR analysis,including IL-6,M-CSF,Flt3-ligand and SCF. These results were consistent with the properties of bone marrow derived MSCs.Conclusion These observations implicate the postpartum human placenta as an important and novel source of multipotent stem cells that could potentially be used for investigating mesenchymal differentiation and regulation of hematopoiesis.展开更多
