Abstract

Despite great promise surrounding mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), their implementation for tissue engineering strategies remains in the development phases. Many of the concerns regarding the clinical use of MSCs originate from population heterogeneity, during both isolation and differentiation. In this study, we utilize our previously developed centrifugation cell adhesion protocol for the separation of MSCs. Our findings reveal that MSCs can be isolated from whole bone marrow using a 200 g (700 pN) centrifugal force after 24 h of culture on polystyrene with cell surface marker expression equivalent to positive controls. During differentiation, a centrifugation protocol with identical force parameters could be applied 14 days into chondrogenic differentiation to isolate differentiated chondrocytes, which exhibited increased expression of chondrogenic markers compared to controls. In summary, the use of our developed centrifugation cell adhesion protocol has proven to be an effective means to separate MSC populations, decreasing the heterogeneity of subsequent cell therapy products.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
