To explore the biological function methods of mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs) for quality analysis.
The surface markers of MSCs were detected by flow cytometry. MSCs osteogenic differentiation was induced by ascorbic acid and β-glycerophosphate sodium, etc., followed by Alizarin Red S staining. MSCs adipogenic differentiation was induced by IBMX, Rosiglitazone, etc., followed by Oil Red O staining. MSCs could differentiate into chondrocytes with treatment of ITS and TGFβ3, etc., followed by Alcian Blue staining. Cell co-culture of THP-1-macrophage with MSCs and ELISA assay were applied to detect the effects of MSCs on macrophage polarization. The expression levels of IL-10 and TNF α in the cell co-culture supernatant were detected by ELISA. To observe the effects of MSCs on lymphocyte proliferation, MSCs cultured with PBMCs, which were labeled with CFSE and activated by CD3/CD28, followed by flow cytometry.
The expression of MSCs surface markers, CD105, CD73, and CD90, was more than 95% respectively, while the expression of CD45, CD34, CD14, CD19, and HLA-DR expression was less than 2%. MSCs osteogenic differentiation assay showed red calcium nodules. Red lipid vacuoles were observed in MSCs adipogenic induction differentiation. Furthermore, MSCs have the differentiation potential to chondrocyte spheroids, and typical cartilage pits were observed. Coculture of MSCs with THP-1 macrophages, an increase in IL-10 expression and downregulate TNFα secretion were observed. MSCs played inhibitory effects on the proliferation of PBMC activated by CD3/CD28, with an inhibition rate of 76.4%.
This study established some of biological activity detection methods for MSCs, including MSCs surface markers, differentiation abilities, promotion of macrophage polarization, and inhibitory effects on lymphocyte proliferation. It provides a potential application for MSCs products quality control.
