Objective: To establish composite culture system of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and self-assembling peptide hydrogel RADA16-І, and to investigate the effect of RADA16-І hydrogel on neural differentiation of BMSCs. Methods: BMSCs were isolated, cultivated and labeled with green fluorescent protein (GFP), then they were inoculated on glass coverslips or in RADA16-І solution to form control group and RADA16-І group respectively. The morphological changes of BMSCs induced by neural induction medium were observed, and GFAP, NeuN and Map-2 expressions of BMSCs in each group were detected with immunofluorescence. Results: The induced BMSCs presented neuron-like change, and the rates of GFAP and NF-200 positive cells in RADA16-І group were higher than that in control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Self-assembling peptide RADA16-І hydrogel can promote neural differentiation of BMSCs, and which may be used as scaffold material on BMSCs transplantation for treatment of nervous system diseases.

After culture expansion of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from a few milliliter of fresh patient’s bone marrow, we applied the MSCs on alumina ceramic ankle prosthesis and further cultured in an osteogenic medium for 2 weeks. After the culture, the MSCs differentiated into osteoblasts, which fabricated bone matrix on the surface of ceramic prosthesis. The expansion of MSCs followed by osteogenic differentiation was done using the commercially available medium with some chemicals and patient’s own serum. The MSCs well proliferated and differentiated into osteoblasts, even the MSCs were from old aged (more than 70 years old) patients. The tissue engineered ceramic prostheses were implanted into osteoarthritic patients. Typical X-ray findings showed that radiodense areas began to appear around the cell-seeded areas on the prosthesis about 2 to 3 months after the operation. These findings confirmed the importance of tissue engineering approach for early bone fixation and the approach can be done using small number of bone marrow cells and patient’s own serum without adding animal-derived products.
