Abstract
The loss of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPC) is a hallmark of perinatal brain injury. Our aim was to develop an in vitro culture condition for human chorion-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) that enhances their stem cell properties and their capability to differentiate towards OPC-like cells. MSC were grown either in serum replacement medium (SRM) or serum-containing medium (SM) and tested for their morphology, proliferation, secretome, migration, protein expression and differentiation into OPC-like cells. MSC cultured in SRM condition have distinct morphology/protein expression profile, increased cell proliferation/migration and capacity to differentiate into OPC-like cells.
