Abstract:

This study aimed to research the biological characteristics of retinal stem cells (RSCs) from bovine fetus.RSCs were isolated using physical method,and the surface markers of RSCs,Nestin,Chx-10 and Pax-6,were detected by immunofluorescence.The multi-lineage differentiation potential of RSCs was investigated and induced to differentiate into astrocytes,neurons and oligodendrocytes.The results showed that the fetal bovine RSCs not only expressed the special markers of stem cells but also induced to astrocytes,neurons and oligodendrocytes successfully.To sum up the RSCs isolated from fetal bovine have a high proliferation and multi-directional differentiation potential in vitro.Retinal stem cells for the future research provide the corresponding theoretical foundation.
