Methods BMSCs from rats were isolated and cultured by adherent culture,observed for morphological change and determined for growth by MTT assay,based on which the growth curve was plotted. The osteogenic and adipogenic differentiations of BMSCs of passage 4 were induced with the corresponding inducers,and the alkaline phosphatase(ALP)activity,osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation abilities of the cells were determined by ALP kit,alizarin red staining and oil red staining respectively. The mRNA expressions of Runx2,osteocalcin(OCN),ALP,peroxidase proliferator activated receptor gamma(PPARγ) and fatty acid binding protein 4(FABP4) after induction for 0,7,14 and 21 d were determined by RT-QPCR. Results BMSCs were successfully isolated and cultured. Passaged cells were proliferated rapidly,most of which were in a long spindle form.The cell growth curve was in an S shape. After induction with osteogenic and adipogenic inducers,the results of ATP activity test,alizarin red staining and oil red staining of BMSCs of passage 4 were positive. The expression levels of mRNA of osteogenic genes(Runx2,OCN and ALP)and adipogenic genes(PPARγ and FABP4)after induction for 7,14 and 21 d were significantly higher than those before induction(0 d)(P < 0. 05). During osteogenic differentiation,the expression levels of Runx2 and ALP reached the maximums after induction for 7 d then showed decreasing trends,while that of OCN showed a steady increasing trend. However,during adipogenic differentiation,the expression level of PPARγreached the maximum after induction for 7 d,while that of FABP4 was higher throughout. Conclusion BMSCs are easy to be isolated,cultured and amplified in vitro,with potential of multi-differentiation after induction. The expression levels of genes related to osteogenic and adipogenic differentiations changed with the increasing time for induction,indicating the regulatory roles of the genes. It provides an experimental basis for study on the mechanism of BMSCs in bone,cell and gene engineering.
