Umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell primary isolation culture method capable of improving yield
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of stem cells, and particularly relates to a primary separation culture method of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells, which can improve the yield.
Background
Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) are stem cells with the potential of self-renewal, proliferation and multidirectional differentiation, widely exist in umbilical cords, bone marrow, dental pulp, fat or placenta tissues, and have the advantages of easy collection, storage and transportation, no xenogenic rejection, avoidance of ethical disputes, stimulation of tissue regeneration, regulation of immune function and the like.
At present, umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSC, Umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells) have good treatment effects in animal models and clinical researches of cartilage regeneration, cerebral ischemic diseases, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and the like, and show wide application prospects. The method for separating, culturing and amplifying the umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells at home and abroad has no unified standard, and no clear method for obtaining a large amount of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells with stable performance in a short time exists in the prior culture technology, considering that a large amount of mesenchymal stem cells with high purity, strong differentiation capacity, strong proliferation capacity and stable dryness are needed in clinical application, and the human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells are gradually aged after being subcultured to 5 generations.
Patent No. CN201310243569.6 discloses a method for culturing human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells, and provides a method which can adopt amphotericin B to clean umbilical cord tissues before culture and can greatly reduce the probability of disqualification of mesenchymal stem cell separation culture caused by mould and anaerobic bacteria pollution. The patent with the application number of CN201810824245.4 discloses a primary culture medium of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells and a primary culture method thereof, and provides a culture medium which is added with a plurality of additives of tranexamic acid, GMCSF and EGF, shortens the primary culture time and has better effect than a conventional culture medium and a culture medium added with a single factor; meanwhile, the introduction of heterologous substances can be avoided, and the clinical safety is higher.
At present, the primary isolation of the umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells is mostly carried out by adopting a tissue method, and the problems of immunological rejection and the like exist when the human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells are cultured by using the existing serum culture medium, so that the future clinical requirements cannot be met; the problems of long cell growth period, poor stability, weak proliferation capacity, unstable differentiation capacity and the like exist when the human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells are cultured by using the serum-free subculture medium, and the requirement of industrialization is difficult to realize due to the fact that the serum-free culture medium containing various additional factors is expensive.

Aiming at the problems in the prior art, the invention provides a primary separation culture method of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells, which can improve the yield.
The purpose of the invention is realized by the following technical scheme:
on one hand, the primary isolated culture method of the umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells capable of improving the yield comprises the following steps:
(1) taking an umbilical cord tissue, putting the umbilical cord tissue into a culture dish with 75% of alcohol for disinfection, taking out the umbilical cord tissue after 1.5 minutes of disinfection, putting the umbilical cord tissue into another culture dish with 75% of alcohol, taking out the umbilical cord tissue after 1.5 minutes of disinfection, and cleaning the umbilical cord tissue for 3-5 times by using normal saline; cutting off and discarding 1cm of the inner sides of two head parts of the umbilical cord, uniformly dividing umbilical cord tissues into small sections of 2 cm-3 cm, and cleaning with normal saline for 3-5 times to remove residual blood; cutting umbilical cord along umbilical vein, removing umbilical vein and umbilical artery, peeling Wharton's glue, cleaning for 2-3 times, and cutting into tissue blocks (1-2 mm) × (1-2 mm) × (1-2 mm);
(2) uniformly inoculating the cut tissue blocks into a T175 culture flask, adding a culture solution, placing the culture flask in an incubator for culture, wherein the culture temperature is 37 ℃, the concentration of carbon dioxide is 1-2%, such as 1%, 1.2%, 1.5%, 1.8% or 2%, and the inner layer is laid flat for culture;
(3) replacing fresh culture solution when the culture is carried out for 3 days, placing the culture solution in an incubator for continuous culture, adjusting the culture temperature to 37 ℃ and the carbon dioxide concentration to 5%, and carrying out inner monolayer flat culture;
(4) culturing for the second time till 6 days, and culturing in an incubator at 37 deg.C and 5% carbon dioxide;
(5) performing third liquid change when the culture is carried out to the 9 th day, and culturing in an incubator at the culture temperature of 37 ℃ and the carbon dioxide concentration of 5 percent;
(6) culturing until the cell confluence reaches more than 60-70%, and removing the supernatant to obtain primary mesenchymal stem cells;
(7) taking primary mesenchymal stem cells, digesting the primary mesenchymal stem cells by using a trypsin-EDTA solution, inoculating the primary mesenchymal stem cells into a T175 culture bottle, adding a culture solution, placing the culture solution into a culture box for culture, wherein the culture temperature is 37 ℃, the carbon dioxide concentration is 1-2%, carrying out inner monolayer flat culture for 3 days, changing the culture solution according to the operation processes in the steps (3) - (5), culturing until the cell confluence degree reaches more than 60-70%, and removing the supernatant to obtain passage mesenchymal stem cells;
the culture solution consists of the following components: basal medium, fetal calf serum, melatonin and vitamin C.
Preferably, the basal medium is a-MEM medium.
Preferably, the fetal bovine serum is present in an amount of 10%.
Preferably, the content of the melatonin is 10-25 nM; e.g., 10nM, 12nM, 15nM, 18nM, 20nM, 22nM, 23nM, 25 nM.
Preferably, the content of the vitamin C is 10-25 mug/ml; for example 10 mug/ml, 12 mug/ml, 15 mug/ml, 18 mug/ml, 20 mug/ml, 22 mug/ml, 23 mug/ml, 25 mug/ml.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the beneficial effects that:
in the invention, after performing blunt separation on Wharton jelly in an umbilical cord, shearing tissues into 1-2mm3The tissue block is favorable for migration and climbing out of cells in the tissue block, because the too large tissue block can cause the death of the cells in the tissue due to lack of nutrients caused by oxygen deficiency, the too small tissue block can lead the tissue to be difficult to adhere to the wall, and the migration and climbing out of the cells in the tissue block are not facilitated.
Because the process that the cells in the tissues migrate to the environment more favorable for cell growth due to the local lack of the survival microenvironment is mainly performed in the early stage of the primary culture, the process does not relate to the proliferation of the cells, so that the pH fluctuation of the culture solution is smaller, and the content of carbon dioxide is reduced, the content of oxygen is increased, and the survival and the migration of the cells in the tissues are favorable.
The obtained number of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells can be obviously increased by changing the oxygen concentration in the primary culture process and simultaneously adding antioxidants with high cost performance, such as melatonin and vitamin C. In primary operation, the operation is more, cells are easy to be damaged, oxidation damage of stem cells in the culture process is reduced by adding antioxidants such as melatonin, VC and the like, the dryness of the cells can be kept for a long time, and the biological function of the cells is improved.
The method improves the acquisition amount of the umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells by an economical and practical primary separation mode, is simple and economical, and is easy for industrialized operation.
