Description

Mesenchymal stem cell serum-free medium and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of cell culture, and particularly relates to a mesenchymal stem cell serum-free medium containing a plant protein hydrolysate, and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Mesenchymal stem cells (Mesenchymal stem cells, MSCs), also known as pluripotent stromal cells, are a class of pluripotent stem cells belonging to the mesoderm, which are mainly present in connective tissue and organ interstitium, including bone marrow, umbilical cord, fat, mucosa, bone, muscle, lung, liver, pancreas and other tissues, amniotic fluid, amniotic membrane, placenta and the like. Can be differentiated into various tissue cells such as fat, bone, cartilage and the like under proper conditions. Research shows that mesenchymal stem cells have the characteristics of multidirectional differentiation potential, hematopoietic support, stem cell implantation promotion, immune regulation, self replication and the like, and are widely paid attention to. The mesenchymal stem cells are isolated and extracted from the umbilical cord tissue without any damage, and the mesenchymal stem cells in the umbilical cord have the advantages of large quantity, high quality and pure cells, so the mesenchymal stem cells become the stem cells with the most clinical application value and preservation value at present.
At present, the stem cell culture mainly takes the traditional two-dimensional culture as a main part, which is equivalent to supporting the stem cell growth on only one plane, has low proliferation efficiency and space utilization rate, and cannot meet the requirement of increasing large-dose application of clinical stem cells. Compared with the two-dimensional plane cell culture technology, the three-dimensional culture co-cultures the three-dimensional structure matrix and the cells in vitro to form a three-dimensional cell aggregate, so that the cells can perform three-dimensional growth, differentiation and migration in vitro, simulate living environment in a organism more truly, and are more beneficial to proliferation, survival and self-property maintenance of the cells. The nutrient requirements of the cells in different culture conditions are different, so that the method is suitable for the three-dimensional culture technology and needs a proper three-dimensional culture medium to achieve the optimal mass production process.
The culture medium used for in vitro culture of mesenchymal stem cells is mostly supplemented with serum, which involves the risk of contaminating exogenous viruses and pathogenic agents during cell culture. Moreover, as the serum has a large number of unknown components, the biological active factors among different batches of serum are inconsistent, so that the reproducibility of products and experimental results is poor, the residual serum is easy to cause anaphylactic reaction of an inoculator to the serum, and the serum cannot be applied to clinical research. Therefore, in order to overcome various disadvantages caused by serum, it is necessary to find serum substitutes or to use serum-free media during cell culture.
The plant protein hydrolysate is prepared by hydrolyzing plant materials such as soybean, wheat, rice, etc. under the catalysis of acid or enzyme preparation to obtain amino acid and amino acid polypeptide intermediate mixed colloid, and processing. For example, soy protein hydrolysate is used as serum substitute, contains abundant dipeptide and polypeptide, and is more beneficial to MSCs proliferation and state maintenance relative to free amino acid. Furthermore, soy protein hydrolysates are rich in stabilized glutamate comprising polypeptides, which is considered as an important nucleic acid source in cell culture, as well as an excellent energy source. However, the application of the plant protein hydrolysate in MSCs culture is not reported, so the invention aims to find a serum-free culture medium which is based on the plant protein hydrolysate, has remarkable effect and high safety and is suitable for two-dimensional and three-dimensional culture.
Disclosure of Invention
