Abstract: Objective To explore the differentiation of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells(UMSCs).Methods The UCMSCs were isolated from full-term neonates.MSCs were obtained by mixed enzymatic digestion and cultured in DMEM/10%FBS.Surface antigens of UCMSCs were detected by flow cytometry.Different passages of MSCs(P3-P6) were induced to differentiate towards endothelial progenitor cells by VEGF and b-FGF,then endothelial cells markers were detected by immunofluorescence.Results Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells can be induced to endothelial cells lineage.Immunofluorescent assay showed that different passages of MSCs could express CD34,CD133 and vWF and Dil-acLDL assay was positive.Conclusion Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells could be induced into vascular endothelial cells,which could be used as a new source of seeding cells for tissue engineered blood vessel and cardiac valve.
