- Abstract
Human placental decidua basalis originates from the maternal side of the placenta and has been described as a source of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). However, for its application in tissue regeneration and repair, the transplantation-potential-related biological properties of decidua-basalis-derived mesenchymal stem cells (DBMSCs) remain to be elucidated. We obtained DBMSCs through enzymatic digestion and density gradient centrifugation and confirmed their capacity to differentiate into cell types of the mesodermal lineage, such as osteoblasts, adipocytes and chondroblasts. Karyotype analysis showed that the isolated DBMSCs maintained chromosomal stability after long-term culture in vitro. Growth kinetics and ultrastructural observation revealed a high level of DBMSC proliferative activity. In addition, DBMSCs showed immunosuppressive properties by suppressing both mitogen- and alloantigen-induced peripheral lymphocyte proliferation. All of these properties suggest that DBMSCs, which are abundant and easily accessible, are a novel potential source of seed cells for cell transplantation treatments.
