Cytofluorometric analysis of phenotypes of human bone marrow and umbilical fibroblast-like cells

Cytofluorometric analysis of phenotypes of human bone marrow and umbilical fibroblast-like cells Comparative analysis of the expression of some surface markers of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, umbilical fibroblast-like cells, and skin fibroblasts was carried out by the flow cytofluorometry method. Mesenchymal stem cells and umbilical fibroblast-like cells were similar by the levels of expression of the main histocompatibility complex antigens, adhesion molecules, and some growth factor receptors. The profile of skin fibroblast surface antigens was characterized by higher expression of the markers typical of differentiated cells. The results prove the possibility of using umbilical fibroblast-like cells as an alternative source of mesenchymal stem cells for cell replacement therapy. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Springer Journals

Abstract

Comparative analysis of the expression of some surface markers of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, umbilical fibroblast-like cells, and skin fibroblasts was carried out by the flow cytofluorometry method. Mesenchymal stem cells and umbilical fibroblast-like cells were similar by the levels of expression of the main histocompatibility complex antigens, adhesion molecules, and some growth factor receptors. The profile of skin fibroblast surface antigens was characterized by higher expression of the markers typical of differentiated cells. The results prove the possibility of using umbilical fibroblast-like cells as an alternative source of mesenchymal stem cells for cell replacement therapy.
