<正>Recent studies have demonstrated that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs) have the potential to transdifferentiate into cardiomyocytes(CMs) in an appropriate condition both in vivo and in vitro,and our previous studies also confirmed it.However,there exists a controversy among a variety of studies about whether MSCs can differentiate into CMs without physical contacts with CMs,and the molecular signals that underlie this process are not fully understood.In the present study,MSCs isolated from adult rats were cocultured with CMs obtained from neonatal rat ventricles at 1:5 ratio in a dual chamber dish separated by a semipermeable membrane for 2 weeks.During this non-direct contact coculture procedure,cardiomyogenic differentiation and relative genes expression in MSCs were evaluated. After coculture with CMs,MSCs showed a stick-like or elliptical morphology.Immunofluorescent stain results revealed that a -actin and cardiac troponin T(cTnT) positive cells were found in MSCs at 5 days after coculture with CMs,and 29.63%of MSCs were positive forα-actin and 27.38%for cTnT at 14 days. Results from RT-PCR demonstrated the expression level of TGF-β,Nkx-2.5,GATA-4 and MEF-2C genes began to increase at 1 day and reached the peak at 7 days after coculture.In conclusion,non-direct contact with CMs(1:5) is conducive for MSCs to differentiate into CMs in vitro,and TGF-β,Nkx-2.5, GATA-4 and MEF-2C genes may play a crucial role during the transdifferentiation.

Objective:To determine the role of over-expression and activation of STAT3 and P-STAT3 on oncological differention of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell(MSCs) in the tumor microenviroment. Methods:Through MSCs respectively with C6 glioma and actrocytes indirect co-culture to construct the microenvironment of MSCs growth.The experiment was divided into four groups,including the experimental group(MSCs and C6 glioma indirect co-culture),positive control group(the conventional cultured C6 glioma cells),negative control group(MSCs and astrocytes indirect co-culture),blank group(routinely cultured MSCs).STAT3,CyclinDl and BCL-xl in each group were measured by RT-QPCR and Western blot.P-STAT3 in each group were measured by Western blot.The proliferation of each goup cells were measured by MTT. The nude mice tumor formation were measured by HE staining. Results:Compared with negative control group and blank group,STAT3,CyclinDl and BCL-xl mRNA and protein and P-STAT3 in experimental group were significantly increased(Pcells were deeply stained,obviously gathered and arranged in irregular and a large number of neovascularization within the tumor. Conclusion:The over expression and activation of STAT3 and P-STAT3 is one of the important reason for the oncological differention of MSCs in tumor microenviroment.

Aims:c-KitPOS heart tissue-derived cardiac stem cells(CSCs)are helpful in myocardial infraction therapy but that the isolation and maintaining of heart tissue-derived CSCs are potential damage and complex.Whether the bone marrow deserves the seed cells alternative for heart tissue-derived CSCs is poorly defined.Notch signaling plays a critical role in the differentiation of stem cells and its role in c-Kitbone marrow-derived cardiac stem cells(c-KitMCSC)are not well established.Methods and Results:After infected the Sprague Dawley rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(BMSCs)with Notchl intracellular domain(NICD)adenovirus expression plasmid(NICD-Ad)for 8 days,the Notchl signaling was activated and cells underwent the myocardiocyte,smooth muscle cell and endothelial cell lineage differentiation.The c-KitBMCSCs were successfully isolated from the BMSCs by using magnetic activated cell sorting(MACS)plus single cell cloning method.Among the four types of Notchl receptors,Notchl was predominantly expressed that tested by flow cytometry.Treated the c-Kit BMCSCs with Jagged 1,the exogenous Notchl ligand,led to an obviously activation of Notchl signaling and thus drove the cells to prominently differentiate into cardiomyocytes while much slight into smooth muscle cells and epithelial cells.However,the Notchl inhibitor DAPT attenuated Jagged1-induced Notchl activation and multi-lineage differentiation.Conclusions:There are c-KitBMCSCs in the pool of BMSCs,suggesting an alternative seed cell for c-Kitheart tissue-derived CSCs.The activation of Notchl signaling contributes to the c-KitBMCSCs multi-lineage differentiation,with prominent differentiation into cardiomyocytes,implying modulation of Notchl signaling may be have potential application in the stem cell translational medicine.
