title: [Osteogenic and adipogenic capacity of fibroblast-like progenitor cells derived frow human fetal liver].
abstract: The study of differentiation potential of multiponent stromal progenitor cells (PCs) in embryogenesis is a crucial issue for understanding their biology and role in tissue regeneration of an adult organism. In this study in monolayer culture there were investigated osteogenic and adipogenic capacities of fibroblast-like PCs derived from human fetal liver of 8-11 gestation weeks before and after exposure to cryoprotectant dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO). It was shown that the primary suspension of human fetal liver cells included immature stromal fibroblast-like PCs which were able to be induced into osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation. A short-time exposure of freshly isolated human fetal liver cells to cryoprotectant DMSO led to altering properties of the fibroblast-like PCs. Under subculture conditions, it was found an increase in the number of fibroblast-like PCs which were able to be induced to osteogenic differentiation in vitro. The established fact of DMSO influence on the differentiation capacity of fetal fibroblast-like PCs is necessary to take into consideration while developing cryopreservation methods for stem cells.
