Abstract
Stem cell lines are usually grown in medium containing animal products. Fetal bovine serum (FBS) is an important additive for cell growth; however, the allergenic potential and the possibility of contamination when we use a medium containing serum would be a barrier to transplantation and consequently to the introduction of cell therapy methods into clinical applications. Dental mesenchymal cells were isolated and expanded in vitro and maintained in 4 different serum-free media (SFMs): SFM#1 (ITS-X, embryotrophic factor [ETF]); SFM#2 (ITS-X); SFM#3 (ETF); and SFM#4 (ETF, sodium pyruvate, ascorbic acid, fibroblast growth factor [FGF-a], acidic). Viability, proliferative, and immunocytochemical tests for the cells were performed by using 4 stem cell markers (CD44H, CK19, nestin, and P63) for ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. Viability tests showed a significant difference between the control and SFMs in both deciduous tooth pulp cells (DTPCs) and wisdom tooth pulp cells (WTPCs). However, all SFMs demonstrated 84%-90% viability, whereas the control showed 90%-93%. In both DTPCs and WTPCs, SFM#1 had the highest proliferation rate among the 4 SFMs. Immunocytochemistry stained positive stem cell markers most intensely in cells cultur...Continue Reading
