摘要:

从胎儿脐带中分离培养人脐带Wharton’s jelly间充质干细胞。用无血清的神经干细胞条件培养基及含Wnt/β catenin 通路拮抗剂Dkk-1和Nodal 信号拮抗剂LeftyA的神经干细胞条件培养基分步诱导Wharton’s jelly间充质干细胞向视网膜祖细胞分化。倒置显微镜下观察发现,Wharton’s jelly间充质干细胞由梭形和成纤维细胞样逐渐转变成为多突起的多角形。免疫荧光细胞化学染色和反转录PCR结果显示,经诱导的Wharton’s jelly间充质干细胞表达nestin蛋白的能力减弱,而阳性表达视网膜祖细胞表面标记蛋白Pax6和Rx。说明Wharton’s jelly间充质干细胞在体外可向视网膜祖细胞分化。

Abstract:

Human Wharton’s jelly mesenchymal stem cells were isolated from fetal umbilical cord. Cells were cultured in serum-free neural stem cell-conditioned medium or neural stem cell-conditioned medium supplemented with Dkk-1, a Wnt/β catenin pathway antagonist, and LeftyA, a Nodal signaling pathway antagonist to induce differentiation into retinal progenitor cells. Inverted microscopy showed that after induction, the spindle-shaped or fibroblast-like Wharton’s jelly mesenchymal stem cells changed into bulbous cells with numerous processes. Immunofluorescent cytochemical stain-ing and reverse-transcription PCR showed positive expression of retinal progenitor cell markers, Pax6 and Rx, as well as weakly down-regulated nestin expression. These results demonstrate that Wharton’s jelly mesenchymal stem cells are capable of differentiating into retinal progenitor cells in vitro.
