title: [The medium conditioned incubation with rat heart cells maintains the properties of ES cells].
abstract: 17 kinds of conditioned media were selected by plating tests, propagation and other tests with two cell lines, C-19-2 and MESPU-13. The results suggested that the rat heart cells conditioned media (RH-CM) can inhibit the spontaneous differentiation effectively, maintain the normal diploid karyotypes and promote adherence and proliferation of mouse ES cells. The ES cells were propagated in RH-CM to the 20th passage remaining their pluripotent in vivo and in vitro differentiation ability. RH-CM can be used as supplement of ES cell media. ES cells which are cultured in media containing 70% RH-CM and on PMEF feeder can maintain their undifferentiation state and diploid karyotype. RT-PCR detection suggested that there was mLIF expression in rat heart cells.
