摘要: Cartilage stem/progenitor cells (CSPCs) are a novel stem cell population and function as promising therapeutic candidates for cell-based cartilage repair. Until now, numerous existing research materials have been obtained from humans, horses, cows and other mammals, but rarely from sheep. In the present study, CSPCs with potential applications in repairing tissue damage and cell-based therapy were isolated from 45-day-old Small-tailed Han Sheep embryos, and examined at the cellular and molecular level. The expression level of characteristic surface markers of the fetal sheep CSPCs were also evaluated by immunofluorescence, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analysis and flow cytometric assays. Biological growth curves were drawn in accordance with cell numbers. Additionally, karyotype analysis showed no marked differences in the in vitro cultured CSPCs and they were genetically stable among different passages. The CSPCs were also capable of adipogenic, osteogenic and chondrogenic lineage progression under the appropriate induction medium in vitro. Together, these findings provide a theoretical basis and experimental evidence for cellular transplant therapy in tissue engineering.
