LI Dan, et al. Isolation, culture and identification of hmnan epithelial stem cells[J]. Journal of Chongqing Medical University, 2007,(12):1272-1275. DOI: 10.13406/j.cnki.cyxb.2007.12.002.
Objective:To explore a method for isolation and culture of human epidermal stem cells. Methods:The Epidermal stem cell were isolated by adhering to collagen typeⅣafter obtained by digesting human foreskin with DispaseⅡand Tryp and culture in vitro in K-SFM. The expressions ofβ1-integrin and keratin 19 (K19) in epidermal stem cell were detected with immunocytochemical methods
and the colony forming efficiency was also studied. Keratinocytes were served also detected. Results:It was revealed by histologieal observation that colonieswere formed 24 hours after inoculation. The isolated and cultured cell cloning efficiency was higher than that of the control group. Positive expression ofβ1-integrin and K19 of cultured cells was detected by immunocytochemistry. Conclusion:Adult epidermal stem cells could be successfully isolated and cultured by adhension with typeⅣcollagen and culture with K-SFM
