title: Using human plasma supplemented medium to cultivate human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell and evaluation of its multiple-lineage potential.
abstract: The objective of this study was to evaluate the proliferation and the multiple-lineage differentiation capacity when bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) were cultured short-term in autologous serum/plasma instead of fetal calf serum (FCS). The BMSCs from 12 donors were cultivated individually in 10% autogenic plasma or serum, with or without bFGF and EGF growth factors. Cell proliferation was examined by a Tetrazolium assay (MTT) after passages 1, 3, and 5. A medium supplemented with 10% human plasma or serum was sufficient to propagate BMSCs. However, no significant proliferation was shown when bFGF and EGF (20 ng/mL each) were added into the medium with autologous serum/plasma. We examined, inductions of adipogenesis, osteogenesis, and chondrocytogenesis, as capacities of multiple-lineage differentiation of cultivated BMSCs (passages 8). Differentiation was investigated by both RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry staining (IHC). Qualitative evidence demonstrated the differentiation capacity was preserved in cultivated BMSCs with autologous serum/plasma.
