Human amniotic fluid stem cells have become an attractive stem cell source for potential applications in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. The aim of this study was to characterize amniotic fluid-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AF-MSCs) from second- and third-trimester of gestation. Using two-stage protocol, MSCs were successfully cultured and exhibited typical stem cell morphological, specific cell surface, and pluripotency markers characteristics. AF-MSCs differentiated into adipocytes, osteocytes, chondrocytes, myocytes, and neuronal cells, as determined by morphological changes, cell staining, and RT-qPCR showing the tissue-specific gene presence for differentiated cell lineages. Using SYNAPT G2 High Definition Mass Spectrometry technique approach, we performed for the first time the comparative proteomic analysis between undifferentiated AF-MSCs from late trimester of gestation and differentiated into myogenic, adipogenic, osteogenic, and neurogenic lineages. The analysis of the functional and expression patterns of 250 high abundance proteins selected from more than 1400 demonstrated the similar proteome of cultured and differentiated AF-MSCs but the unique changes in their expression profile during cell differentiation that may help the identification of key markers in differentiated cells. Our results provide evidence that human amniotic fluid of second- and third-trimester contains stem cells with multilineage potential and may be attractive source for clinical applications.

Adult stem cells have the capacity to differentiate into several different cell types, although their differentiation potential is limited compared with that of embryonic stem cells. Thus, adult stem cells are regarded as an exciting source for new cell therapies. Recent observations also indicate that stem cells derived from second-trimester amniocentesis are pluripotent – capable of differentiating into multiple lineages, including representatives of all 3 embryonic germ layers. In addition, amniotic fluid stem cells can be used in the generation of disease- or patient-specific stem cells, and amniotic fluid stem cells could be an ideal source for autologous cell replacement therapy in the later life of the fetus. The aim of the present study was to investigate isolation and characterisation of human amniotic fluid-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hAFS). We successfully isolated and characterised hAFS. Amniotic fluid samples were collected in the second trimester (median gestational age: 16 weeks, range: 15–17 weeks) for prenatal diagnosis. Specimens (2 mL) were centrifuged and incubated in low-glucose DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS, 25 ng of basic fibroblast growth factor, and 10 ng of epidermal growth factor at 37°C with 5% CO2. Human amniotic fluid cell (passage 6) expression of stem cell specific markers OCT-4, SOX2, Rex1, FGF4, and NANOG was confirmed by RT-PCR. Flow cytometric analysis showed that hAFS (passage 10) were positive for CD44, CD29, CD146, STRO1, and CD90 but negative for CD19. Immunocytochemical analysis of hAFS (passage 11) also showed the expression of OCT-4, SSEA-1, CD44, CD29, CD146, STRO1, and CD90, but hAFS were negative for CD19 and CD14. In conclusion, according to the previous studies on other mammalians, hAFS are an appropriate source of pluripotent stem cells. Here, we demonstrated that hAFS have a high expression of stem cell specific marker, including embryonic stem cell marker and mesenchymal stem cell marker. Therefore, amniotic fluid may be a suitable alternative source of multipotent stem cells.
