Substrate Strain and Proliferation & Differentiation of Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells

New methods of surface modification of transparent silicone substrate were developed, and a new set of cell culture devices that provide homogeneous substrate strain was designed. Using the new device, effects of cyclic substrate strain on bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs) were studied. It was found that cyclic strain influenced proliferation and differentiation of bone marrow MSCs in different ways.

Species Variation in the Mechanisms of Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Mediated Immunosuppression

Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) hold great promise for treating immune disorders because of their immunoregulatory capacity, but the mechanism remains controversial. As we show here, the mechanism of MSC-mediated immunosuppression varies

微模式化基底上大鼠骨髓间充质干细胞的增殖、分化和迁移

目的 利用微模式化基底研究基底几何微结构对骨髓间充质干细胞增殖、分化及迁移过程的影响.方法 设计制作微模式化基底,用以控制细胞的铺展形态和面积.比较不同模式控制下大鼠骨髓间充质干细胞的增殖、分化和迁移数据.结果 细胞铺展宽度狭小可抑制骨髓间充质干细胞的增殖,细胞铺展形状可以调节其向成骨细胞分化的进程,细胞铺展面积受限时迁移增强,其增殖迁移行为减弱与成骨细胞诱导因子地塞米松的作用有关.结论 细胞铺展的几何形状和面积是骨髓间充质干细胞增殖、分化及迁移过程中的重要调节因子.
