  • SELECTION AND IDENTIFICATION OF HUMAN KERATINOCYTE STEM CELLS IN VITRO

    OBJECTIVE: To investigate the selection and identification of human keratinocyte stem cells(KSC) in vitro. METHODS: According to the characteristics of KSC which can adhere to extracellular matrix very fast, we selected 3 groups of different time(5 minutes, 20 minutes and 60 minutes) and unselected as control group. And the cells were identified by monoclone antibody of beta 1-integrin and cytokeratin 19 (Ck19), then the image analysis was done. Furthermore we analyzed the cultured cells with flow cytometer(FCM) and observed the ultrastructure of the cell by transmission electron microscope(TEM). RESULTS: The cell clones formed in all groups after 10 to 14 days, while the cells of 5 minute group grew more slowly than those of the other groups, however, the clones of this group were bigger. The expression of beta 1-integrin and Ck19 were found in all groups. The positive rate of beta 1-integrin was significant difference between 5 minute group and the other groups (P lt; 0.05). And the expression of Ck19 was no significant difference between 5 minute group and 20 minute group(P gt; 0.05), and between 60 minute group and control group. But significant difference was observed between the former and the later groups(P lt; 0.05). The result of FCM showed that most cells of the 5 minute group lied in G1 period of cell cycle, which was different from those of the other groups. At the same time, the cells of 5 minute group were smaller and contained fewer organelles than those of the other groups. CONCLUSION: The above results demonstrate that the cells of 5 minute group have a slow cell cycle, characteristics of immaturity, and behaving like clonogenic cells in vitro. The cells have the general anticipated properties for KSC. So the KSC can be selected by rapid attachment to extracellular matrix and identified by monoclone antibody of beta 1-integrin and Ck19.
