  • Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) have the capacity for self-renewal and differentiation into a variety of cell types. They represent an attractive source of cells for gene and cell therapy. The purpose of this study is to direct the specific expression of the DsRed reporter gene in $Sca-1^+$ BMMSCs differentiated into a cardiomyogenic lineage. We constructed the prMLC-2v-DsRed vector expressing DsRed under the control of the 309 tp fragment of the rat MLC-2v 5'-flanking region. The specific expression of the DsRed reporter gene under the transcriptional control of the 309 bp fragment of the rat MLC-2v promoter was tested in 5-azacytidine healed-$Sca-1^+$ BMMSCs over 2 weeks after the prMLC-2v-DsRed transfection. The prMLC-2v-DsRed was specifically expressed in the $Sca-1^+$ BMMSCs with cardiomyogenic lineage differentiation and it demonstrates that the 309 bp sequences of the rat MLC-2v 5'-flanking region is sufficient to confer cardiac specific expression on a DsRed reporter gene. The cardiac-specific promoter-driven reporter vector provides an important tool for the study of stem cell differentiation and cell replacement therapy in ischemic cardiomyopathy.

  • 중간엽줄기세포(mesenchymal stem cell, MSC)은 세포치료로 각광받아 널리 사용되고 있다. 이들은 줄기세포의 분화성을 이용하여 많은 만성질환에 연관되어 치료제로 사용되고 있다. 줄기세포는 다른 화학적 치료법에 비해 많은 장점을 가지고 있다. 왜냐하면 줄기세포치료는 자기자신, 혹은 동종의 세포를 이용한 치료이기 때문에 화학 치료에 비해 부작용이나 치료의 위험성이 덜하다. 그리고 마이크로RNA또한 최근 기 존재와 기능이 밝혀져서 연구되고 있는데 특히 항암, 세포생장촉진 등의 기능을 이용해 항암, 만성질환 치료에 접목되어 치료제로의 역할이 기대된다. 마이크로RNA는 대부분의 대사과정이나 항상성조절에 관여되어있다. 따라서 마이크로RNA가 저 발현 혹은 과 발현하게 되면 만성질환으로 이어지게 된다. 하지만 줄기세포와 마이크로RNA의 상호간 보조효과는 잘 연구되어 있지 않다. 따라서 이들 간의 상관관계를 확인하기 위하여 태반유래 줄기세포(PDSC)와 골수줄기세포(BM-MSC), 대조군으로 섬유아세포(Fibroblast, WI-38)을 사용하여 이들이 발현하는 마이크로RNA 발현을 확인해 보았다. 각각의 MSC 세포주에 대하여 특정 마이크로RNA의 발현량을 확인해 보았다. 결과 PDSC의 경우엔 마이크로RNA-34a의 발현이 높았고 BM-MSC의 경우에는 마이크로RNA-27a, 33a, 33b, 211의 발현이 높은 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 우리는 각각의 MSC세포주와 그들이 발현하는 기능성 마이크로RNA을 연관지어 효과적인 세포치료에 활용될 수 있을 것을 기대한다.

  • The present study was to determine the influence of micro-macro biphasic calcium phosphate(MBCP) on proliferation and differentiation of human marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells. Primary stem cells were cultured from bone marrow and 3-4 passaged cells were used. This study tested the proliferative effects by cell counting. Collagen sythensis, alkaline phosphatase activity, expression of osteocalcin and bone sialoprotein by Western blot analysis were evaluated. The cellular proliferation of ASC was not influenced by MBCP. Collagen synthesis of ASC cultured on MBCP significantly increased at 5th and 7th days(p<0.05). The ALP activity in ASC cultured on MBCP significantly increased at 5th and 7th days(p<0.05). The expression of OC and BSP incresaed in ASC cultured on MBCP. These results suggest that MBCP may stimulates the osteoblastic activity of ASC.

  • Tumor necrosis $factor-{\alpha}\;(TNF-{\alpha})$는 염증성 골질환에서의 골조직의 손실과 밀접한 관련이 있다. 본 연구에서는 인체 골수 유래 중간엽 줄기세포의 골세포로의 분화과정에 대한 $TNF-{\alpha}$의 영향을 조사하였다. $TNF-{\alpha}$는 골수 유래 중간엽 줄기세포의 골세포로의 분화를 나타내는 표시인 세포외 무기질 축적과 alkaline phosphatase의 발현의 증가를 일으켰으며 2ng/ml의 농도에서 최대의 증가를 나타내었다. $TNF-{\alpha}$에 의한 골세포로의 분화는 $NF_kB$의 저해제에 의해서는 영향받지 않았으나 JNK 특이 저해제인 SP600125에 의해 완벽하게 억제되었다. 이는 $TNF-{\alpha}$에 의한 골수 유래 중간엽 줄기세포의 골세포로의 분화과정에 JNK가 중요한 역할을 한다는 것을 제시한다.

  • Bone marrow (BM) derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are pluripotent cells which can differentiate into osteogenic, adipogenic and other lineages. In spite of the broad interest, the information about the changes in BM cell composition, in particularly about the variation of MSC number and their properties in relation to the age of the donor is still controversial. The aim of this study was to investigate the age associated changes in variations of BM cell composition, phenotype and differentiation capacities of MSC using a rat model. Cell populations were characterized by flow cytometry using light scattering parameters, DNA content and a set of monoclonal antibodies. Single cell analysis was performed by conventional fluorescent microscopy. In vitro culture of MSC was established and their phenotype and capability for in vitro differentiation into osteogenic and adipogenic cells was shown. Age related changes in tibiae and femurs, amount of BM tissue, BM cell composition, proportions of separated MSC and yield of MSC in 2 weeks of in vitro culture were found. At the same time, neither change in phenotype no in differentiation capacities of MSC was registered. Age-related changes of the number of MSC should be taken into account whenever MSC are intended to be used for investigations.

  • We investigated whether transplantation of osteogenically differentiated bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) and the use of an hydroxyapatite (HAp) scaffold can enhance the in vivo bone formation efficacy of human BMMSCs. Three months after implantation to the subcutaneous dorsum of athymic mice, transplantation of osteogenically differentiated human BMMSCs increased the bone formation area and calcium deposition to 7.1- and 6.2-folds, respectively, of those of transplantation of undifferentiated BMMSCs. The use of the HAp scaffold increased the bone formation area and calcium deposition to 3.7- and 3.5-folds, respectively, of those of a polymer scaffold. Moreover, a combination of transplantation of osteogenically differentiated BMMSCs and HAp scaffold further increased the bone formation area and calcium deposition to 10.6- and 9.3-folds, respectively, of those of transplantation of undifferentiated BMMSCs seeded onto polymer scaffolds. The factorial experimental analysis showed that osteogenic differentiation of BMMSCs prior to transplantation has a stronger positive effect than the HAp scaffold on in vivo bone formation.

  • Human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a rare population of undifferentiated cells that have the capacity of self renewal and the ability to differentiate into mesodermal phenotypes, including osteocytes, chondrocytes, and adipocytes in vitro. Recently, MSCs have been shown to reside within the connective tissue of most organs, and their surface phenotype has been well analyzed. Many reports showed that transplanted MSCs enhanced regeneration as well as functional improvement of damaged organs and tissues. The wide differentiation plasticity of MSCs was expected to contribute to their demonstrated efficacy in a wide variety of experimental animal models and in human clinical trials. However, new findings suggest that the ability of MSCs to alter the tissue microenvironment via secretion of soluble factors may contribute more significantly than their capacity for differentiation in tissue repair. This review describes what is known about the cellular characteristics and differentiation potential of MSCs, which represent a promising stem cell population for further applications in regenerative medicine.

  • Adult stem cell transplantation has been increased every year, because of the lack of organ donors for regenerative medicine. Therefore, development of reliable and safety cryopreservation and bio-baking method for stem cell therapy is urgently needed. The present study investigated safety of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) such as common cryoprotectant on porcine bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (pBM-MSCs) by evaluating the activation of Caspase-3 and -7, apoptosis related important signal pathway. pBM-MSCs used for the present study were isolated density gradient method by Ficoll-Paque Plus and cultured in A-DMEM supplemented 10% FBS at $38.5^{\circ}C$ in 5% $CO_2$ incubator. pBM-MSCs were cryopreserved in A-DMEM supplemented either with 5%, 10% or 20% DMSO by cooling rate at $-1^{\circ}C$/min in a Kryo 360 (planner 300, Middlesex, UK) and kept into $LN_2$. Survival rate of cells after thawing did not differ between 5% and 10% DMSO but was lowest in 20% DMSO by 0.4% trypan blue exclusion. Activation of Caspase-3 and -7 by Vybrant FAM Caspase-3 and -7 Assay Assay Kit (Molecular probes, Inc.OR, USA) was analyzed with a flow cytometer. Both of cryopreserved and control groups (fresh pBM-MSCs) were observed after the activation of Caspase-3 and -7. The activation did not differ between 5% and 10% DMSO, but was observed highest in 20% DMSO. Therefore 5% DMSO can be possibly used for cell cryopreservation instead of 10% DMSO.

  • Fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-2 is one of the most effective growth factors to increase the growth rate of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Previously, we reported that low dose of FGF-2 (1 ng/ml) induced proliferation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) through AKT and ERK activation resulting in reduction of autophagy and senescence, but not at a high dose. In this study, we investigated the effects of high dose FGF-2 (10 ng/ml) on proliferation, autophagy and senescence of BMSCs for long term cultures (i.e., 2 months). FGF-2 increased the growth rate of BMSCs in a dose dependent manner for a short term (3 days), while during long term cultures (2 months), population doubling time was increased and accumulated cell number was lower than control in BMSCs when cultured with 10 ng/ml of FGF-2. 10 ng/ml of FGF-2 induced immediate de-phosphorylation of ERK1/2, expression of LC3-II, and increase of senescence associated ${\beta}$-galactosidase (SA-${\beta}$-Gal, senescence marker) expression. In conclusion, we showed that 10 ng/ml of FGF-2 was inadequate for ex vivo expansion of BMSCs because 10 ng/ml of FGF-2 induced growth retardation via ERK1/2 de-phosphorylation and induction of autophagy and senescence in BMSCs.

  • Background: Autogenous bone grafts have several limitations including donor-site problems and insufficient bone volume. To address these limitations, research on bone regeneration is being conducted actively. In this study, we investigate the effects of a three-dimensionally (3D) printed polycaprolactone (PCL)/tricalcium phosphate (TCP) scaffold on the osteogenic differentiation potential of adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs) and bone marrow-derived stem cells (BMSCs). Methods: We investigated the extent of osteogenic differentiation on the first and tenth day and fourth week after cell culture. Cytotoxicity of the 3D printed $PCL/{\beta}-TCP$ scaffold was evaluated by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium assay, prior to osteogenic differentiation analysis. ADSCs and BMSCs were divided into three groups: C, only cultured cells; M, cells cultured in the 3D printed $PCL/{\beta}-TCP$ scaffold; D, cells cultured in the 3D printed $PCL/{\beta}-TCP$ scaffold with a bone differentiation medium. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity assay, von Kossa staining, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and Western blotting were performed for comparative analysis. Results: ALP assay and von Kossa staining revealed that group M had higher levels of osteogenic differentiation compared to group C. RT-PCR showed that gene expression was higher in group M than in group C, indicating that, compared to group C, osteogenic differentiation was more extensive in group M. Expression levels of proteins involved in ossification were higher in group M, as per the Western blotting results. Conclusion: Osteogenic differentiation was increased in mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) cultured in the 3D printed PCL/TCP scaffold compared to the control group. Osteogenic differentiation activity of MSCs cultured in the 3D printed PCL/TCP scaffold was lower than that of cells cultured on the scaffold in bone differentiation medium. Collectively, these results indicate that the 3D printed PCL/TCP scaffold promoted osteogenic differentiation of MSCs and may be widely used for bone tissue engineering.
