However, the source for embryonic NSCs remains limited and high amplification conditions are required. Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) have been proposed for the treatment of glioma. OBJECTIVE: To investigate biological changes in NSCs and BMSCs following transplantation into rat models of glioma. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: A randomized, controlled, animal experiment was performed at the Embryonic Stem Cell Research Laboratory of Yunyang Medical College from February 2006 to August 2008. MATERIALS: The rat C6 glioma cell line was purchased from Institute of Biochemistry and Cell Biology, Shanghai Institutes for Biological Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences; mouse anti-bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) monoclonal antibody and Cy3-1abeled goat anti-mouse IgG antibody was purchased from Upstate, USA. METHODS: A total of 95 Sprag6ue Dawley rats were randomly assigned to three groups: NSC (n = 35), transplanted with 〉 6 × 10^6 NSCs via left medial hind limb; BMSC (n = 35), transplanted with 〉 1 × 10^6 BMSCs via left medial hind limb; model group (n = 25), injected with the same volume of 0.1 mmol/L phosphate buffered saline. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Gliomal growth and size were assessed by nuclear magnetic resonance, and glioma morphological features were observed following hematoxylin-eosin staining and BrdU immunohistochemistry 3 and 4 weeks following transplantation. RESULTS: The average survival of rats in the BMSC, NSC, and model groups was 4.03, 4.28, and 3.88 weeks. At 3 weeks, there was no significant difference in the average glioma diameter between the BMSC and model groups (P 〉 0.05). However, gliomal diameter was significantly decreased in the NSC group compared with the model group (P 〈 0.05). At 4 weeks, there was no statistical difference between the groups (P 〉 0.05). BrdU immunohistochemistry revealed that BMSCs and NSCs appeared to migrate to the gliomas. CONCLUSION: NSCs inhibited glioma cell growth and prolonged rat survival. BMSCs did not significantly suppress glioma cell growth.展开更多

MitoLight staining was used to confirm that PC12 cells co-cultured with bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells demonstrate reduced levels of cell apoptosis. Immunocytochemistry and western blot analysis found the quantity of α-synuclein accumulation was significantly reduced in PC12 cell and bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell co-cultures. These results indicate that bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells can attenuate 6-hydroxydopamine-induced cytotoxicity by reducing abnormal α-synuclein accumulation in PC12 cells.展开更多

The proliferation of BMSCs treated with 6-OHDA decreased, while that of BMSCs treated with reduced glutathione increased. The proliferation of BMSCs treated with both 6-OHDA and reduced glutathione was significantly higher compared with that treated with 6-OHDA alone. These findings indicate that reduced glutathione alleviates the toxic effect of 6-OHDA on BMSCs.展开更多

Methods: Expressions of IL-6 in bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMNCs) were detected using double labeled immunofluorometry, and the IL-6 activities in the supernatants of co-culture system of myelomacell line KM3 and bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) were measured using B9 cell proliferation test. ResultS: IL6 molecules were expressed not only in cytoplasndc γ-globin positive cell but also in type I collagen or von Willebrand Factor(vwr)positive cells. After fixation, both myeloma cells and BMSCs hardly secreted IL-6. IncreasedIL-6 activities were found in the supernatants after co-culture of unfixed my8loma cell line KM3 and fixed BMSCsor of fixed KM3 cells and unfixed BMSCs. Furthermore, BMSCs from MM patients induced KM3 cells to secretsignificantly more IL-6 in the supernatants than in BMSCs did controls (P<0. 01). Couclusiou: Both the BMSCsand myeloma cells secret IL-6 simultaneously in MM. Their interaction with each other promotes IL-6 over production. Both autocrine and paracrine mechanisms of IL-6 dysregulated expression are involved in the pathogenesisof MM.展开更多

In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of growth and differentiation factor 6 (GDF-6) on the tenogenic differentiation of BMSCs in vitro, and then combined with small intestine submucous (SIS) to promote tendon regeneration in vivo. Methods The BMSCs were isolated from the green fluorescent protein (GFP) rats, and were characterized by multi-differentiation assays following our previous study protocol. BMSCs cultured with different concentrations of GDF-6, without growth factors served as control. After 2 weeks, mRNA expression and protein expression of tendon specific markers were examined by qRT-PCR and Western blotting to define an optimal concentration of GDF-6. Mann-Whitney U-test was used to compare the difference in relative mRNA expression among all groups; P 〈0.05 was regarded as statistically significant. The GDF-6 treated BMSCs combined with SIS were implanted in nude mice and SD rat acute patellar tendon injury model, the BMSCs combined with SIS served as control. After 12 and 4 weeks in nude mice and tendon injury model, the samples were collected for histology. Results After the BMSCs were treated with different concentration of GDF-6 for 2 weeks, the fold changes of the specific markers (Tenomodulin and Scleraxis) mRNA expression were significantly higher in GDF-6 (20 ng/ml) group (P 〈_0.05), which was also confirmed by Western blotting result. The BMSCs became parallel in orientation after GDF-6 (20 ng/ml) treatment, but the BMSCs in control group were randomly oriented. The GDF-6 (20 ng/ml) treated BMSCs were combined with SIS, and were implanted in nude mice for 12 weeks, the histology showed neo-tendon formation. In the SD rat patellar tendon window injury model, the histology also indicated the GDF-6 (20 ng/ml) treated BMSCs combined with SIS could promote tendon regeneration. Conclusions GDF-6 has tenogenic effect on the tenogenic differentiation of BMSCs, and GDF-6 (20 ng/ml) has better tenogenic effect compared to other concentrations. The GDF-6 (20 ng/ml) treated BMSCs combined with SIS can form neo-tendons and promote tendon regeneration.展开更多
