Thought Provoking Quotes

“The experimental treatment is reminiscent of Lasik surgery. People traveled abroad to Europe and Canada for the procedure years before it was readily available in the United States”

Objective: To study the methods of culture and amplification of human bone marrow stromal cells( BMSCs) in vitro, and to induce BMSCs differentiating into the neuron-like cells.

Methods: The BMSCs were isolated primarily from bone marrow of adult, and purified by passage culture. The 5th passage of BMSCs were induced by all-trans-retinoic acid (RA) and immunocytochemical staining with anti-NSEMAP--tublin, and GFAP were also performed on cells after 7 days and 14 days induction.

Results: Neuron-like cells appeared among BMSCs after BMSCs treated by RA for 24 hours. The Neuron-like cells induced for 7 days were showed -tublin positive, but NSEMAP-2 negative. However, Neuron-like cells induced for 14 days all were showed NSEJMAP-2 positive. And the -tublin positive rate was lower. The positive percentage of NSE protein expression was 48.5,0.2%.

Conclusion: BMSCs can be amplificated and purified in short time, be induced into neuronal-like cell by RA..
