Objective: To explore practical protocols for cloning bone marrow-derived hepatic stem cells in vitro.
Methods: The cell fraction rich in CD117(+) cells and CD184(+) cells was separated from fresh bone marrow by density gradient centrifugation and cultured for 0, 7 and 14 days in high-glucose DMEM supplemented with or without 10% autologous serum or in serum-free high-glucose DMEM. All the media were supplemented with different concentrations of hepatocyte growth promoting factors (HGPF), thrombopoietin (TPO) and interleukin-3 (IL-3). The quantitative changes of CD117(+) cells and CD184(+) cells were measured by flow cytometry.
Results: The optimal effect for cell cloning was achieved with high-glucose DMEM with 10% autologous serum group supplemented with 40 microg/ml HGPF, 50 ng/ml TPO, and 10 ng/ml IL-3. At day 7 of cell culture in this media, the quantity of CD117(+) cells and CD184(+) cells increased by 6.55 and 6.20 folds, and by 11.62 and 20.57 folds at day 14, respectively.
Conclusion: It is practical for cloning bone marrow-derived hepatic stem cells in high-glucose DMEM with 10% autologous serum supplemented with 40 microg/ml HGPF, 50 ng/ml TPO, and 10 ng/ml IL-3.

Beef is primarily made up of skeletal muscle tissue. Therefore, the cultivation of bovine muscle stem cells (MSCs) to provide a consistent supply of muscle cells would enhance the sustainability of the cultured beef industry. Here, we report a high-yield, simple, economic, and convenient protocol for the isolation of active MSCs from bovine skeletal muscle tissue.

Meniscus-derived stem cells (MeSCs) hold great promise for cytotherapy of the meniscus. Large-scale cell expansion in vitro is usually accompanied by decreased proliferation and migration and increased senescence, leading to a decrease in treatment efficiency. Therefore, the present study aimed to compare the effects of different concentrations of glucose on the proliferation, migration, senescence and protein expression of MeSCs.

Background: Sarcopenia, characterized by the progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass, strength, and physical performance, is traditionally associated with aging. However, chronic conditions such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have been recognized as key accelerators of its progression. In this study, we investigated the therapeutic effects of umbelliferone on diabetes-induced muscle atrophy using C2C12 myoblasts and a db/db diabetic mouse model.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) affects over 90% of diabetic patients and is characterized by insulin resistance (IR), primarily due to impaired GLUT4 function and abnormalities in insulin signaling within adipose and skeletal muscle cells. Dysfunctional adipose tissue elevates triglyceride and fatty acid levels, worsening IR. Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT), which employs low-power light, has emerged as a potential treatment by enhancing glucose metabolism and reducing inflammation through the activation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are cells with multipotent characteristics present in various tissues and used as a promising alternative in cell therapy protocols in animals and humans. Creating stem cell banks for various purposes through cryopreservation is a common practice with MSCs. In this regard, the association between 10% dimethyl sulfoxide (Me2SO) and 90% fetal bovine serum (FBS) is widely used as a cryoprotective protocol for MSCs.
