| Abstract | BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are a potential source of material for the construction of tissue-engineered cardiac grafts because of their potential to transdifferentiate into cardiomyocytes after chemical treatment or co-culture with cardiomyocytes. Recent evidence has shown that mechanical loads could regulate the BMSC differentiation into osteoblasts and endothelial cells through various signaling pathways. We investigated whether fluid shear stress (FSS), which is a mechanical load generated by fluid flow, can regulate rat BMSC (rBMSC) differentiation into cardiomyocytes. METHODS: rBMSCs were isolated from marrow of rat femur and tibia using density gradient centrifugation combined with adhesion method and identified with surface marker, proliferation character and differentiation potential in vitro. Cultured rBMSCs with or without 5-azacytidine (5-aza) treatment were exposed to laminar shear stress with a parallel plate-type device and analyzed by RT-PCR, immunocytochemistry, FACS and Western-blotting for the cardiomyogenic differentiation. RESULTS: Appropriate FSS treatment alone induced cardiomyogenic differentiation of rBMSCs, as confirmed by the expression of cardiomyocyte-related markers at both mRNA and protein levels. Furthermore, when rBMSC cultures were exposed to both FSS and 5-aza, expression levels of cardiomyocyte-related markers significantly increased to a degree suggestive of a synergistic interaction. CONCLUSIONS: The results demonstrate that FSS is an important factor affecting cardiomyogenic differentiation of rBMSCs. This provides a new avenue for mechanistic studies of stem cell differentiation and a new approach to obtain more committed differentiated cells. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
