Objective To study the culture and purification of the fetal mouse liver mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs) in vitro and to investigate their differentiation potential and the composite ability with true bone ceramic(TBC). Methods The single cell suspension of MSCs was primarily cultured and passaged, which was prepared from the fetal mouse liver; the flow cytometry was applied to detectCD29, CD34, CD44 and CD45. The osteogenic differentiation was induced in chemical inducing system; the osteogenic induction potency was tested. The purified fetal mouse liver MSCs were compounded with TBC covered with collagen type Ⅰ in vitro and the cell attachment and proliferation to the TBC were observed. Results The primary MSCs of fetal mouse liver were easy to culture in vitro. They proliferated well and were easy to subcultured. The proliferation ability of primary and passaged MSCs was similar. Flow cytometric analysis showed the positive results for CD29, CD44 and the negative results for CD34, CD45. After 7 days of induction, the MSCs expressed collagen type I and alkaline phosphatase(ALP) highly. After 14 days of induction, the fixed quantity of ALP increased significantly. After 28 days of induction, calcium accumulation was observed by Von Kossa’s staining. Many liver MSCs attached to the surface of TBC. Conclusion The MSCs of the fetalmouse liver can be obtained, subcultured and purified easily. After culturing in chemical inducing system, the MSCs of fetal mouse liver can be successfully induced to osteoblast-like cells, attach to the surface of TBC and proliferate well.
