Background
Mesenchymal stem cells (MESENCHYMAL STEM CELLS, MSC) are a type of stem cells with self-renewal, proliferation and multidirectional differentiation potential, widely exist in umbilical cord, bone marrow, dental pulp, fat or placenta tissues, and have the advantages of easy collection, preservation and transportation, no rejection of foreign bodies, avoidance of ethical disputes, stimulation of tissue regeneration, regulation of immune functions and the like.
At present, umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSC, umbiliacl 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 umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells at home and abroad has no unified standard, and considering that a large number of mesenchymal stem cells with high purity, strong differentiation capability, strong proliferation capability and stable stem property are required in clinical application, the existing culture technology gradually ages after the human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells are passaged to 5 generations, and no clear method is available for obtaining a large number of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells with stable performance in a short time.
The patent No. CN201310243569.6 discloses a method for culturing human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells, and refers to a method which can adopt amphotericin B to clean umbilical cord tissues before culturing, and can greatly reduce the probability of disqualification of mesenchymal stem cell isolation and culture caused by mould and anaerobic bacteria pollution. The patent with the application number of CN201810824245.4 discloses a primary culture medium of umbilical mesenchymal stem cells and a primary culture method thereof, and refers to a culture medium in which a plurality of additives of tranexamic acid, GMCSF and EGF are added into the culture solution, so that the primary culture time is shortened, and the effect is better than that of 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 separation of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells is mostly carried out by adopting a tissue method, and the existing serum culture medium is used for culturing human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells, so that the problems of immune rejection and the like exist, and the clinical requirements in the future cannot be met; the serum-free subculture medium is used for culturing the human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells, so that the problems of long cell growth period, poor stability, weak proliferation capacity, unstable differentiation capacity and the like exist, and the serum-free culture medium containing various additive factors is expensive, so that the requirement of industrialization is difficult to realize.

The aim of the invention is realized by the following technical scheme:
in one aspect, there is provided a primary isolated culture method of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells capable of improving yield, comprising the steps of:
(1) Taking umbilical cord tissue, placing the umbilical cord tissue into a culture dish with 75% alcohol for sterilization, taking out the umbilical cord tissue after sterilization for 1.5 minutes, placing the umbilical cord tissue into another culture dish with 75% alcohol, taking out the umbilical cord tissue after sterilization for 1.5 minutes, and cleaning the umbilical cord tissue with normal saline for 3-5 times; cutting and discarding 1cm inside the two parts of the umbilical cord, uniformly dividing the umbilical cord tissue 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 pieces of size (1-2 mm) x (1-2 mm);

(5) Culturing for the third time until 9 days, and culturing in an incubator at 37deg.C with carbon dioxide concentration of 5%;
(6) Culturing until the cell confluence reaches over 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 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, performing tiling culture on an inner monolayer for 3 days at a culture temperature of 37 ℃ and a carbon dioxide concentration of 1% -2%, performing liquid exchange according to the operation process in the steps (3) - (5), culturing until the cell confluency reaches over 60% -70%, and removing the supernatant to obtain the passage mesenchymal stem cells;
The culture solution consists of the following components: basic culture solution, fetal bovine serum, melatonin and vitamin C.
Preferably, the basal medium is an a-MEM medium.
Preferably, the content of said fetal bovine serum is 10%.
Preferably, the melatonin is present in an amount of 10-25nM; for example 10nM, 12nM, 15nM, 18nM, 20nM, 22nM, 23nM, 25nM.
Preferably, the content of the vitamin C is 10-25 mug/ml; for example, 10 [ mu ] g/ml, 12 [ mu ] g/ml, 15 [ mu ] g/ml, 18 [ mu ] g/ml, 20 [ mu ] g/ml, 22 [ mu ] g/ml, 23 [ mu ] g/ml, 25 [ mu ] g/ml.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the beneficial effects that:
According to the invention, after the Waton gum in the umbilical cord is subjected to blunt separation, the tissue is sheared into tissue blocks of 1-2mm 3, so that migration and climbing out of cells in the tissue blocks are facilitated, and the cells in the tissue blocks die due to lack of nutrients caused by the lack of oxygen due to the overlarge tissue blocks, so that the tissue blocks are too small, the tissue is difficult to adhere, and migration and climbing out of the cells in the tissue blocks are not facilitated.
Because the early stage of primary culture is mainly the migration process of cells in the tissue to an environment more favorable for cell growth due to the partial lack of living microenvironment, the process does not involve cell proliferation, so that the PH fluctuation of the culture solution is small, the content of carbon dioxide is reduced, the oxygen content is increased, and the survival and migration of cells in the tissue are favorable.
The obtained number of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells can be remarkably increased by changing the oxygen concentration in the primary culture process and simultaneously adding high-valence antioxidants such as melatonin and vitamin C. In the primary operation, the operation is more, the cells are easy to damage, and the oxidation damage generated in the culture process of stem cells is reduced by adding antioxidants such as melatonin, VC and the like, so that the stem property of the cells can be maintained for a long time, and the biological functions of the cells are improved.
The invention improves the acquisition amount of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells by an economical and practical primary separation mode, and the method is simple and economical and is easy for industrialized operation.
