    Abstract:
    The study was to explore a feasible and efficient method for isolating rat epidermal stem cells.Direct-tissue culturing and enzyme-digesting were used to isolate and culture rat epidermal stem cells.Then,the epidermal stem cells were chosen by type IV collagen.The expressions of CK15,P63,β1-integrin and α6-integrin in ESCs were detected by immunohistochemistry staining.Meanwhile,the clone forming efficiency and the growth curve of epidermal stem cells were also detected.The epidermal stem cells were got by both methods,and the epidermal stem cells had higher colony forming efficiency.The cells got by direct-tissue culturing could be passaged to the 6th generation,while the cells got by enzyme digestion were differentiated after passaged to 3-4th generation.Immuno histochemistry staining showed that CK15,P63,β1-integrin and α6-integrin were strongly expressed in the cultured epidermal stem cells.Both methods could isolate,purify and culture rat epidermal stem cells successfully,but direct-tissue culturing is more suitable for the isolation of rat epidermal stem cells.

    Objective To investigate the isolation and culture of mouse epidermal stem cells. Methods Putative epidermal stem cells were isolated and selected by rapid adherence on type IV collagen matrix,and the cells were identified by immunohistochemistry staining mehod. Results The cells showed a spherical and polygonal appearance characteristics of typical epidermal cells. Cell pattern can be observed clearly and cytoplasm is homogeneous. The heteromorphism and bigger neuclear- cytoplamic ratio were also observed. The expression of K15 and Beta1 integrin were positive in cytoplasm of cells and the stained positive rates were 100%. In contrast,the expression of CD 34 was negative. Conclusion The isolated epidermal stem cells using a rapid adherence method have stem cell- like properties and offers a potential route to their clinical application.

    The isolation and culture of putative epidermal stem cells by way of enzyme-digesting and direct-tissue-culturing from mouse,goat,milk cow and pig were conducted in this study.Results indicated that enzyme-digesting was more suitable for the isolation of mouse epidermal stem cells which self-differentiated into neural cells after two passages of in vitro culturing while cells from goat and cow lived more vigorously and maintained longer characteristics of epidermal stem cells than those from mouse and pig either by enzyme-digesting or tissue-culturing.Epidermal stem cells from goat were selected by collagen Ⅳ,cultured in serum-containing medium,identified by immunocytochemical staining and could be subcultured to at least passage nine but the cells grew weaker as the passage continued.

    Objective To explore a new method to isolate human epidermal stem cells and provide seed cells for the constitution of tissue engineering in skin. Methods Epidermal basal cells were cultured with common cell culture technique. Cell sorting technology was used based on the properties of epidermal stem cells identified with S P method of immunocytochemistry. Results Basal cells could be obtained by digestion with dispase and trypsin. Basal cells with density of (1-2)×10 4/ml were cultured on 3T3 feeder layer in DMEM containing epidermal growth factor(EGF) etc. Cell proliferation started 2 days later. Feeder layer was removed after a week and keratinocytes could be passaged at 10-12th day. A few round cells of similar size could be obtained after the basal cells marked with FITC and sorted by flow cytometry and these sorted cells were adhered by type IV collagen for 20 minutes. Monoclonal antibody to human K19 serving as first antibody, S P method of immunocytochemistry showed that the isolated cells positively stained with grown yellow were epidermal stem cells. Conclusion Human epidermal stem cells could be isolated from basal cells by fluorescence activated cell sorting and adhesion to type IV collagen, which provides the basis for further study of tissue engineering in skin.

    Objective:To study the localization and in -vitro culture of epidermal stem cells in normal adult skin. Meth ods:The expressions of β1 integrin and keratin 19(K19) in normal adult skin were detected with immunocytochemical methods. The epidermal stem cells were isolated by adhering to collagen type IV and cultured in vitro in conditional medium prepared according to that for human fibroblasts. Then, the cultured cells were identified by immunohistochemistry staining of (3, integrin and K19, and the colony forming efficiency was also studied. Gliocytes were taken as control. Results: The cells expressing integrin β1 and K19 in epidermal layer were less. The epidermal stem cells selected by rapid adherence to type Ⅳ collagen formed large colonies after 10 d. The clone forming rate of epidermal stem cells was 17. 17% , which was much higher than that in control group (6. 83% ,P0. 05). Conclusion: The adult epidermal stem cells can be isolated in vitro by means of rapid adherence to type Ⅳ collagen, and can be cultured with conditional medium.

    Objective To investigate the distribution, isolation and culture of the epidermal stem cells from rats. Methods Immnohistochemical methods were used to confirm the location of the epidermal stem cells. The skin of neonatal rats were dissociated into single cells by dispaseⅡ and trypsin solution,the rapidly adherent cells to collgenⅣ were cultured with KSFM,and those no rapidly adherent cells were regarded as control. Immunohistology and flow cytometry were conducted to identify the epidermal stem cells. Results α 6-integrin and K15 were expressed in the basal layer cells and hair follicle bulge cells, while the CD71 was negative negatively expressed. CD34 were expressed in the hair follicle bulge cells while not in the basal layer cells. The epidermal stem cells isolated by collgenⅣ had higher colony forming efficiency. Immunocytochemical staining showed that α 6-integrin and K15 were strongly expressed in the cultured epidermal stem cells. Flow cytometry indicated that 84% cultured epidermal stem cells were expressed α 6-integrin. Conclusion The epidermal stem cells of rats are located at the basal layer of epidermis and the hair follicle bulge.
