Abstract (original English)
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a population of multipotent cells that can proliferate and differentiate into multiple mesodermal tissues. We previously reported that monoclonal antibodies to the low-affinity nerve growth factor receptor (alpha-LNGFR) stain bone marrow (BM) mesenchymal cells. We now show that LNGFR antibodies label primitive MSCs with high specificity and purity in adult BM, and compare these cells to those isolated by plastic adherence (PA) and CD45(-)anti-glycophorin A(-) selection. Low-density mononuclear cells (LD-MNCs) from normal BM were separated by PA or immunomagnetic selection for NGFR(+) or CD45(-)alpha-glycophorin A(-) cells. The three fractions were grown in Iscove's modified Dulbecco medium + 20% fetal bovine serum +/- basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in order to assess their proliferative capacity and evaluate their phenotype during culture. The clonogenic potential of the MSCs was assessed using a colony-forming unit fibroblast (CFU-F) assay, whereas multipotential differentiation was determined after culture in adipocytic and osteoblastic conditioned media. The NGFR(+) mesenchymal cells grown without growth factors showed persistent NGFR expression (rapidly down-regulated after the addition of bFGF) and persistent CFU-F activity. The NGFR(+) fractions were rich in clonogenic precursors: CFU-F median frequency was 1584/1 x 10(6) cells (ra
