As células-tronco adultas (CTA) são células multipotentes e não especializadas encontradas na medula óssea, no sangue periférico, na córnea, na retina, no cérebro, no músculo esquelético, na polpa dental, no fígado, no pâncreas, no epitélio da pele, no sistema digestivo, no cordão umbilical e na placenta. Estas células podem se renovar e reproduzir indefinidamente e, sob certos estímulos, se transformar em células especializadas de diferentes tecidos ou órgãos. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo a obtenção de CTA a partir de tecido epitelial de roedores silvestres de espécies diferentes (Oecomys concolor - um exemplar fêmea, Proechimys roberti - dois exemplares machos, Hylaeamys megacephalus - dois exemplares machos). A metodologia para isolamento e cultivo in vitro de amostras do tecido epitelial foi estabelecida, a partir de protocolos já descritos, avaliando aspectos morfológicos, estabilidade genômica, contagem e análise da viabilidade celular, potencial clonogênico e indução de diferenciação em osteócitos, condrócitos e adipócitos. Todas essas análises foram feitas pós-criopreservação das culturas. As CTA foram caracterizadas como população homogênea de células que proliferam in vitro, como células aderentes à superfície do plástico, tendo morfologia semelhante a fibroblastos e formato fusiforme, com alta taxa de crescimento e proliferação celular por várias passagens sucessivas, onde a autorrenovação celular foi avaliada por ensaios clonogênicos. Na análise para examinar a estabilidade genômica na P3, todas as amostras apresentaram cariótipo com número diplóide normal e estável. A metodologia empregada nos ensaios para diferenciação das CTA em linhagens osteogênica, condrogênica e adipogênica, apresentou resultados satisfatórios, onde as células mostraram a marcação desejada através das colorações Alizarin Red S, Alcian Blue e Oil Red O, respectivamente. Todas as amostras testadas apresentam capacidade de proliferação e diversidade de diferenciação, sendo potencialmente fornecedores de CTA provenientes da pele e podendo ser utilizados como organismos modelos de estudos em CT.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a heterogeneous population of cells that proliferate in vitro as plastic-adherent cells, have fibroblast-like morphology and can differentiate into bone, cartilage and fat cells. Therapeutic potential of MSCs have been studied in experimental models, such as rabbit, in Laboratory of Cell Engineering of Botucatu. However, no specific markers have been reported for expanded rabbit MSCs, which hampers the isolation of pure MSC populations by immunophenotypic characterization. Thus, the objective of this study was to produce monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to rabbit MSCs. MSCs derived from rabbit bone marrow (BM) were isolated, cultured, expanded ex vivo, and immunized into three BALB/c mices, and spleen cells subsequently harvested were used to generate hibridoma cell lines secreting antibodies against MSCs. Hybridoma cells were screened by flow cytometry and antibody-producing cells were subjected to subsequent rounds of retests. MSC1-160 obtained the best positivity for IgG expression and was cloned by limiting dilutions and micromanipulation. Ascitic fluid from ten best clones was purified by affinity chromatography in Protein A-sepharose CL-4B column and purification control was performed by electrophoresis in agarose gels. The purified IgG were tested against rabbit MSCs, obtaining high positivity by flow Cytometry. In conclusion, we developed 10 mAbs, MSC1-160 A20, A30, A41, A47, A55, A60, A63, A69, A81, and A82, that recognize rabbit MSC cell surface antigens showing potential for immunophenotypic characterization of rabbit MSC cell lines

Stem cells are defined as cells capable of self-renewal and differentiation into specialized cells when submited to external signalings in the enviroment. Among adult stem cells, mesenchymal cells occupy an important position because they can differentiate into mesodermal cells such as osteoblasts, adipocytes and chondrocytes. Cell therapy consists in the use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) in the treatment of degenerative diseases and harmed tissue reconstruction. Due to the longstanding and costly procedure for cultivation of MSC, it was proposed the use of low power light sources, such as light emitting diodes (LED), to optimize these factors. Recent works have shown a series of results from the influence of LED light on biological tissues such as increased rate of cell proliferation, increased RNA, DNA and ATP synthesis rate. The purpose of this study is to compare the biomodulator effect of LED light set at wavelengths 630nm ± 10nm and 805nm ± 10nm on the mesenchymal stem cells proliferation. For this, the mesenchymal stem cells culture adopted the procedure used in the Departament of Animal Reproduction and Veterinary Radiology of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Sciences of Botucatu. MSC were obtained from an adult horse bone marrow, and isolated by density gradient separation, with the FICOLL reagent and by centrifugation. The pellet containing the stem cells was removed and these were placed in low glucose DMEM culture medium, containing 10% fetal calf serum and antibiotics. The material was observed daily by inverted microscopy for monitoring the progression of the cells and subsequently the amount of cells were counted in a Neubauer counting chamber. The amount of MSC was obtained by cell culture seeded in 24 wells culture plate and segregated into three distinct groups: Group 1 was irradiated with wavelength set at 630nm ± 10 nm, Group...
