Background
The stem cells are the first cells of human body during the process from proliferation, migration, differentiation to maturation, and are the traditional Chinese medicine sources of cell therapy and tissue engineering seed cells, and common mesenchymal stem cells are derived from bone marrow, peripheral blood, umbilical cord, fat and the like. In stem cell biology, it is of great significance to explore the relationship between cell proliferation and differentiation.
The mesenchymal stem cells are mesenchymal stem cells which exist in bone marrow tissues and have self-renewal, strong proliferation capacity and multidirectional differentiation capacity. The bone marrow stem cells can be differentiated into cells of various mesenchymal sources, such as osteoblasts, adipocytes, chondrocytes, hepatocytes, myocytes, nerve cells and the like, and are ideal seed cells with huge potential in medical application of the stem cells in the future. The growth and differentiation direction of bone marrow stem cells depends on the microenvironment of the external part, and a culture medium serving as an important regulatory factor of an extracellular chemical microenvironment is known to be one of simple and effective methods for inducing stem cells to differentiate directionally in vitro at present, and the differentiation direction of the stem cells can be determined by the in vitro induction condition. In the application of bone tissue engineering, the differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells into osteoblasts is a key step for constructing bone tissue engineering by using the osteoblasts.
Exogenous serum such as fetal calf serum and the like is often required to be added in the process of inducing in the osteogenesis direction, so that the safety is reduced, and the problems of low induced differentiation efficiency, long time and the like exist, thereby causing inconvenience to clinical application. Therefore, establishing a simple, safe and effective osteogenic differentiation induction method is the key point of the construction of stem cells in tissue engineered bones.

ALP Activity assay: the cells of example 1 and comparative examples 1 to 5 were taken to induce differentiation culture of 1d, 4d, 8d and 12d, respectively, the cells were lysed in Tris-HCl buffer pH7.4, centrifuged at 10000r/min for 5min, the supernatant was collected, and ALP activity of each group of cells was measured using ALP kit, and the results are shown in FIG. 1.
The cells of example 1 and comparative examples 1 to 5 were respectively taken, subjected to induced differentiation culture for 12 days, the culture medium was discarded, the cells were washed with 6 ℃ precooled PBS, fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde at normal temperature for 10min, the paraformaldehyde was discarded, the cells were washed with PBS for three times, stained with 0.5% alizarin red for 10min, the staining solution was discarded, the cells were washed with water for 3 times, the staining condition was observed on a microscope line, and the percentage of calcified area was counted, and the results are shown in Table 1.
TABLE 1
ALP is one of early markers of osteogenic differentiation of the mesenchymal stem cells, and the higher ALP activity indicates that the more mesenchymal stem cells are differentiated in the osteogenic direction. As can be seen from fig. 1: the ALP activity of the cells of example 1 was the highest, indicating that more mesenchymal stem cells differentiated into the osteogenic direction.
Calcification of osteoblasts can occur, the calcified osteoblasts can be stained red by alizarin, and the percentage of calcified area can be calculated according to the area of stained cells. As can be seen from Table 1: the cells of example 1 had the largest calcified area after 12 days of culture, and further, it was demonstrated that many osteoblasts were obtained by inducing differentiation in example 1.
The cells of comparative examples 1 to 5 also had a certain ALP activity and percent calcified area, but all were inferior to example 1. The composition of the differentiation medium was adjusted in comparative examples 1 to 5, in which sulfobutyl- β -cyclodextrin, betaine, and indium acetate were omitted in comparative example 1, comparative example 3, and comparative example 4, respectively, sulfobutyl- β -cyclodextrin was replaced with hydroxypropyl- β -cyclodextrin in comparative example 2, indium acetate was replaced with indium sulfate in comparative example 5, ALP activity of the mesenchymal stem cells during induced differentiation was lower than that of example 1, and calcified area after alizarin staining after 12d culture was lower than that of example 1, indicating that the number of mesenchymal stem cells differentiated in the osteogenic direction in comparative examples 1 to 5 was less than that of example 1, and the number of osteoblasts finally obtained was less than that of example 1, indicating that the present invention synergistically acts by adding three components of sulfobutyl- β -cyclodextrin, betaine, and indium acetate to the differentiation medium, after any one component is omitted or one component is replaced, the effect is not as good as that of the simultaneous addition of the three components, and further, the addition of the sulfobutyl-beta-cyclodextrin, the betaine and the indium acetate into a differentiation medium can effectively promote the osteogenic differentiation of the mesenchymal stem cells and improve the differentiation efficiency.
