Bone morphogenetic protein-2 causes commitment and differentiation in C3H10T1/2 and 3T3 cells.
摘要:
C3H10T1/2 cells are an established mesenchymal stem cell line which can differentiate into muscle, fat and cartilage cells when treated with azacytidine. Bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) caused a dose dependent differentiation of these cells into fat, cartilage and bone cellslow concentrations favoring adipocytes and high concentrations chondrocytes and osteoblasts. The differentiated phenotypes were stable in the absence of BMP-2. Furthermore, the addition of other growth factors during the differentiation process altered the frequency of the differentiated colony formation. Transfection of the C3H10T1/2 cells with a BMP-2 cDNA also induced a phenotypic change from the parental fibroblast to adipocytes and osteoblasts. Our results in this model system indicate that a single protein factor can cause differentiation of a stem cell line to multiple phenotypes, that phenotypes induced can be regulated by factor concentration, and that other factors can also influence BMP-2 induced differentiation.
