摘要： Background Bone marrow (BM) and umbilical cord (UC) are the main sources of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). These two MSCs display significant differences in many biological characteristics, yet the underlying regulation mechanisms of these cells remain largely unknown. Results BMMSCs and UCMSCs were isolated from inbred Wuzhishan miniature pigs and the first global DNA methylation and gene expression profiles of porcine MSCs were generated. The osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation ability of porcine BMMSCs is greater than that of UCMSCs. A total of 1979 genes were differentially expressed and 587 genes were differentially methylated at promoter regions in these cells. Integrative analysis revealed that 102 genes displayed differences in both gene expression and promoter methylation. Gene ontology enrichment analysis showed that these genes were associated with cell differentiation, migration, and immunogenicity. Remarkably, skeletal system development-related genes were significantly hypomethylated and upregulated, whereas cell cycle genes were opposite in UCMSCs, implying that these cells have higher cell proliferative activity and lower differentiation potential than BMMSCs. Conclusions Our results indicate that DNA methylation plays an important role in regulating the differences in biological characteristics of BMMSCs and UCMSCs. Results of this study provide a molecular theoretical basis for the application of porcine MSCs in human medicine.
