Inhibitory Effect of Mesenchymal Stem Cell Co-Culture on Erythroid Differentiation of K562 Cells Compared to The Control Group
Journal Title: Cell Journal(Yakhteh) - Year 2017, Vol 19, Issue 1
Abstract
Objective: Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) reside in the bone marrow and control the process of hematopoiesis. They are an excellent instrument for regenerative treatment and co-culture with hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, K562 cell lines were either treated with butyric acid and co-cultured with MSCs, or cultivated in a conditioned medium from MSCs plus butyric acid for erythroid differentiation. We used the trypan blue dye exclusion assay to determine cell counts and viability in each group. For each group, we separately assessed erythroid differentiation of the K562 cell line with Giemsa stain under light microscopy, expression of specific markers of erythroid cells by flowcytometry, and erythroidspecific gene expressions by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Results: There was enhandced erythroid differentiation of K562 cells with butyric acid compared to the K562 cell line co-cultured with MSCs and butyric acid. Erythroid differentiation of the K562 cell line cultivated in conditioned medium with butyric acid was higher than the K562 cell line co-cultured with MSCs and butyric acid, but less than K562 cell line treated with butyric acid only. Conclusion: Our results showed that MSCs significantly suppressed erythropoiesis. Therefore, MSCs would not be a suitable optimal treatment strategy for patients with erythroid leukemia.

Comparison of PLZF Gene Expression between Pluripotent Stem Cells and Testicular Germ Cells
Objective: Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs), as unipotent stem cells, are responsible for the production of sperm throughout the male’s life. Zinc finger and BTB domain containing 16 (ZBTB16/PLZF) genes provide various f...
Effects of Klf4 and c-Myc Knockdown on Pluripotency Maintenance in Porcine Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell
Objective: The importance of Oct4 and Sox2 in maintaining pluripotency and self-renewal is well-understood, but the functions of Klf4 and c-Myc has not been fully investigated. In the present study, we attempted to deter...
