Investigating the effects of vitreous humour (crude extract) on growth and differentiation of rat mesenchymal stem cells (rMSCs) and human NTERA2 cells.
Abstract
Two
main characteristics of all types of stem cells are their potency for
differentiation and self renewal capacity. There is a lot of interest to
find the conditions and factors, which govern these behaviours of stem
cells. It is very well documented that retinoic acid (RA) reduces growth
rate by induction of cell differentiation in certain conditions and
cell lines. On the other hand, hyaluronic acid (HA) is known for its
growth induction on cultured cells. A natural source of HA, rabbit vitreous humour
(VH), was previously shown to promote wound repair in model animals. In
search for its possible mechanisms, VH extract was tested on the
cultured mesenchymal stem cells and NTERA2 as human embryonal carcinoma
cells in the presence of RA. Changes in some cellular and molecular
markers (A2B5, Oct4, Sox2) showed that VH and possibly HA interfere with
differentiating effects of RA. Therefore, this reagent may affect cell
proliferation
