Abstract

The objective of this study was to investigate the effective cryoprotectants for the cryopreservation of porcine mesenechymal stem cells (pMSCs). In order to understand the effectiveness of various cryoprotectants on pMSCs, we studied the most commonly used cryoprotectants; dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), ethylene glycol (EG), DMSO and EG. pMSCs were isolated from bone marrow matrix of piglet (2 month) and characterized by alkaline phopshatase (AP) activity, colony forming, and differentiation to adipocyte. In slow cooling cryopreservation, the pMSCs were exposed to cell medium containing Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium (DMEM) supplemented with 10% DMSO, 1.5M EG and 5% DMSO/0.75M EG, respectively, and freezed to $-1^{\circ}C$/min from $25^{\circ}C$ up to $-80^{\circ}C$ in a cryo-container. The proportion of viable cells and the growing rates in fresh pMSCs were significantly (P<0.05) higher than those of other groups, but did not differ between the cryopreserved groups. The expression of Sox-2 and Nanog gene was increased by extending culture time in cryopreserved groups. The expression of Bax gene in cryopreserved groups was similar with fresh pMSCs. Moreover, the gene expression of adipocyte-specific marker as well as chondrogenic/osteogenic factors in cryopreserved groups was similarly to fresh pMSCs. Taken together, our results suggested that all these cryoprotectants of 10% DMSO, 1.5M EG and 5% DMSO/0.75M EG could be used for cryopreservation of the pMSCs.

돼지 중간엽 줄기세포를 Dimethyl sulfoxide(DMSO), Ethylene glycol(EG), 그리고 DMSO/EG을 이용하여 세포동결을 유도한 후 적절한 동결보호제를 알아보았다. 2개월 이내 돼지 골수에서 중간엽 줄기세포를 분리하여 colony 형성 및 alkaline phosphatase(AP) 활성을 확인하고, 지방 세포로의 분화 유도에 의한 줄기세포의 능력을 확인하였다. 이들 중간엽 줄기세포의 완만 동결을 위해, DMEM에 각각 10% DMSO, 1.5M EG, 5% DMSO/0.75M EG의 동결보호제를 섞은 후 cryovial에 넣고, cryo-containe를 이용하여 $25^{\circ}C$에서 $-80^{\circ}C$까지 $-1^{\circ}C$/min 속도로 동결하였다. 일주일간 저장 후 세포의 생존률은 미동결 세포는 동결 세포군보다 유의적으로 높음을 확인할 수 있었으나, 동결 처리군 간에는 차이가 없었다. 줄기세포 유지 유전자인 Sox-2와 Nanog 발현은 동결 후 배양 시간에 따라 발현량이 증가하는 경향을 보였으나, 동결처리군 간에는 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 세포사 관련 유전자인 Bax의 발현은 모든 군에서 비슷하였다. 또한 지방, 연골 및 뼈세포 분화와 관련된 유전자의 발현은 동결 전 세포와 동결 후 세포군에서 비슷한 경향을 보였다. 이러한 결과는 돼지중간엽 줄기세포 동결함에 있어서 10% DMSO, 1.5MEG, 5% DMSO/0.75M EG 모두 적절한 동결보호제로 이용할 수 있음을 시사한다.
