Background
Human bone marrow and umbilical cord blood contain a large number of hematopoietic cells as well as various types of stem cells and a large number of mature cells. The stem cells of each line and the mature leukocytes are nucleated cells. The nucleated cells include various stem cells and mono/polynuclear cells, as well as lymphocytes and mesenchymal cells.
The method for separating the erythroid cells and the nucleated cells of the in vitro bone marrow comprises a machine centrifugation method and a sedimentation method. The machine centrifugation method is widely used abroad due to its fully closed operation and stable and safe separation effect. But the equipment is expensive, so the popularization is difficult at home at present. There are also a number of methods: magnetic bead method, immunofluorescence labeling method, flow cytometry method and the like. The problems common to these methods are: 1) the obtained stem cells are not pure, 2) the use is inconvenient, the cost is high, and 3) the technical equipment requirement is high, and the operation has high requirement on technical personnel.
Thus, the current techniques for isolating stem cells remain to be improved.

Drawings
The above and/or additional aspects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent and readily appreciated from the following description of the embodiments, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of which:
fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart showing a method of isolating stem cells according to an embodiment of the present invention.
Detailed Description
Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like or similar reference numerals refer to the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar function throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are illustrative only for the purpose of explaining the present invention, and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.
The present invention has been completed based on the following findings of the inventors: the existing gradient centrifugation reagents such as Percoll and Filcoll solutions are inefficient when applied to the purification of nucleated cells, especially stem cells. Because the time of the cells in vitro is long, and the separation process is influenced by temperature and reagents, the recovery rate of the nucleated cells obtained by the prior art can only be maintained at 80-90%, the residual rate of the red blood cells can reach about 4%, and because the time of the operation in vitro exceeds 2 hours, the differentiation pluripotency of the obtained stem cells can be greatly influenced, and the differentiation potential of the stem cells is reduced. Iohexol (Iohexol, chemical name: triiodotriaminohexaol benzene, trade name: nyodenz, CAS No.66108-95-0) is a compound with a molecular weight of 821, a density of 2.1g/ml, which is non-ionic and non-toxic to cells. The inventors found that iohexol can be effectively applied to separation or purification of various biological substances such as cells, organelles, biological macromolecules and viruses, and that iohexol is stable at high temperature and high pressure, so that a solution prepared from iohexol can be sterilized at high temperature and high pressure, and iohexol is suitable as a gradient centrifugation reagent for separating stem cells.
In a first aspect of the invention, the invention proposes the use of iohexol in the preparation of a stem cell purification solution. The stem cell purification solution prepared by using iohexol can be effectively used for separating and purifying stem cells, and is particularly suitable for separating and purifying stem cells from spinal fluid and umbilical cord blood, preferably anticoagulant spinal fluid and umbilical cord blood.
In a second aspect of the invention, the invention features a composition for isolating stem cells. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the composition for isolating stem cells is a solution of iohexol in a balanced salt solution, i.e. the composition for isolating stem cells comprises iohexol and a balanced salt solution, wherein said iohexol is dissolved in said balanced salt solution. The composition can be used as a gradient centrifugation reagent to effectively separate stem cells from a sample containing the stem cells by gradient centrifugation.
According to the embodiment of the present invention, the type of the balanced salt solution is not particularly limited as long as it can maintain the osmotic pressure balance of the cells. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the Balanced Salt Solution that may be used is at least one of HBSS (Hank 'S Balanced Salt Solution) and GBSS (GEY' S Balanced Salt Solution). The preferred balanced salt solution is HBSS. According to an embodiment of the invention, the composition has a pH of 7 to 8. Thus, stem cells can be isolated more efficiently.
According to the embodiment of the present invention, the concentration of iohexol is not particularly limited. According to one embodiment of the invention, the balanced salt solution contains 8-15g iohexol, preferably 13g iohexol per 100ml balanced salt solution. This can further improve the efficiency of stem cell separation by gradient centrifugation. Compositions containing iohexol in the balanced salt according to embodiments of the invention may conveniently be obtained, for example, by mixing a quantity of iohexol, for example 13 grams iohexol, with 100ml of HBSS solution (commercially available, for example from Invitrogen) and stirring for a period of time, for example for more than 1 hour, and then storing at 4 ℃ in the dark until ready for use.
In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the composition may further comprise a cell growth factor, preferably further comprise 10 to 30ng/ml of human basic fibroblast growth factor and 10 to 30ng/ml of human stem cell growth factor-alpha. Thus, the inventors found that the in vitro survival rate of stem cells can be effectively improved and the differentiation potential of the stem cells can be maintained by adding growth factors, especially stem cell growth factors, to the composition.
In a third aspect of the invention, the invention features a method of isolating a stem cell. Referring to fig. 1, the method of isolating stem cells includes the steps of:
first, red blood cells are isolated. According to the embodiment of the invention, the biological sample containing the stem cells can be mixed with the erythrocyte separating solution and placed still for sedimentation, so that the lower layer of the erythrocyte sedimentation solution is formed, and the upper layer of the cell solution containing the stem cells is obtained. The type of the term "erythrocyte separating medium" used herein is not particularly limited as long as erythrocytes can be sufficiently separated from nucleated cells including stem cells by sedimentation. According to one embodiment of the invention, the red blood cell separation solution used is a 0.2-0.7 wt% aqueous solution of methylcellulose, preferably a 0.5 wt% aqueous solution of methylcellulose. The settling time is not particularly limited according to the embodiment of the present invention, and settling may be performed for 45 to 60 minutes according to the embodiment of the present invention. Thus, erythrocytes can be efficiently and sufficiently separated from nucleated cells including stem cells. Thereby obtaining the upper layer cell sap containing the stem cells. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the type of the stem cell-containing biological sample is not particularly limited, and may be any stem cell-containing biological sample isolated from any part of a living body such as a human body. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the biological sample containing stem cells may be at least one selected from spinal fluid and cord blood, preferably anticoagulated spinal fluid or cord blood. Thereby, a large number of stem cells, in particular mesenchymal stem cells, may be obtained. According to the embodiment of the present invention, the mixing ratio of the stem cell-containing biological sample and the red blood cell separation solution is not particularly limited. According to one embodiment of the invention, the mixing ratio is chosen such that the final mixed liquor contains 0.1 wt% of methylcellulose. For example, in the case of anticoagulated spinal fluid or umbilical cord blood, the anticoagulated spinal fluid or umbilical cord blood is mixed with a 0.5% by weight aqueous solution of methyl cellulose (red blood cell separation solution) at a volume ratio of 4: 1. This can further improve the efficiency of separating red blood cells, and thus can further improve the efficiency of finally separating stem cells. According to the embodiment of the present invention, the operation of removing red blood cells by sedimentation can be repeated for the separated supernatant-containing cell liquid to further remove the remaining red blood cells.
Next, the upper cell sap was collected, and the upper cell sap containing the stem cells was concentrated by centrifugation, thereby obtaining a cell pellet. And then resuspending the resulting cell pellet using a first stem cell purification solution. It should be noted that the terms "first" and "second" are used herein for distinguishing between them and not for distinguishing between them in any way whether or not they are sequential or important. Herein, the first stem cell purification solution used is at least one selected from the group consisting of a balanced salt solution and a cell culture solution. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the type of the balanced salt solution and the cell culture solution is not particularly limited, and examples of the balanced salt solution that can be used include, but are not limited to, GBSS solution (sometimes also referred to as GBSS directly), HBSS solution (sometimes also referred to as HBSS directly), preferably the balanced salt solution that can be used is HBSS, and the culture solution that can be used is MEM culture solution. According to the embodiment of the present invention, the conditions for centrifugal concentration of the upper cell sap containing the stem cells are not particularly limited. According to one embodiment of the invention, centrifugation at 1200rpm for 5 minutes may be used to achieve effective concentration of the cells. The resulting cell pellet can be resuspended in an amount of balanced salt solution, e.g., 10ml of balanced salt solution (first stem cell purification solution), to obtain a suspension containing stem cells.
Next, after obtaining a suspension containing stem cells, the obtained suspension may be added to a second cell purification solution to perform gradient centrifugation to separate the stem cells. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the second stem cell purification solution is the composition described above, i.e., a solution of iohexol in a balanced salt solution (in other words, the composition for separating stem cells comprises iohexol and a balanced salt solution in which the iohexol is dissolved). Thus, nucleated cells can be efficiently separated from other cells by gradient centrifugation, thereby facilitating the separation of stem cells, particularly mesenchymal stem cells (typically located in the middle of the centrate). According to the embodiment of the present invention, the conditions of centrifugation are not particularly limited. According to an embodiment of the present invention, gradient centrifugation at 4 ℃ for 22 minutes may be used. Thus, stem cells can be isolated more efficiently. With respect to the second stem cell-purifying solution, all the technical features and advantages described above for the composition for isolating stem cells can be applied thereto, and for convenience, they will not be described in detail. The conditions for performing gradient centrifugation using the second stem cell-purified solution are not particularly limited.
According to the embodiment of the present invention, after obtaining stem cells, the obtained stem cells may be washed with a cell treatment solution. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the cell treatment liquid that may be used is at least one of physiological saline and phosphate buffer. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the obtained stem cells may be washed at least twice using the cell treatment solution, whereby the purity of the obtained stem cells can be ensured. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the type of the cell treatment solution is not particularly limited, and may be at least one selected from a phosphate buffer solution and a physiological saline. This can further improve the efficiency of washing stem cells. The expression "at least one selected from the group consisting of phosphate buffer and physiological saline" as used herein means that the phosphate buffer may be used alone, the physiological saline may be used alone, or a combination of the phosphate buffer and the physiological saline may be used. The "combination of phosphate and physiological saline" used herein should be broadly understood, and may be a mixture of phosphate buffer and physiological saline for washing the stem cells, or a mixture of phosphate buffer and physiological saline for washing the stem cells, wherein if the phosphate buffer and physiological saline are used for washing the stem cells, respectively, the sequence is not particularly limited, and the phosphate buffer may be used first, followed by the physiological saline, or the physiological saline may be used first, followed by the phosphate buffer.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, at least one of the red blood cell separation solution, the first stem cell purification solution, the second stem cell purification solution, and the cell processing solution used in the present invention may further include: 10-30ng/ml human basic fibroblast growth factor and 10-30ng/ml human stem cell growth factor-alpha. Preferably, the red blood cell separation solution, the first stem cell purification solution, the second stem cell purification solution and the cell treatment solution further comprise: 10-30ng/ml human basic fibroblast growth factor and 10-30ng/ml human stem cell growth factor-alpha. Thus, the inventors found that the in vitro survival rate of stem cells can be effectively improved and the differentiation potential of the stem cells can be maintained by adding growth factors, particularly stem cell growth factors.
By using the method for separating the stem cells, the stem cells in the spinal cord fluid and the umbilical cord blood can be separated, the survival rate of the separated stem cells reaches more than 99 percent, and the yield of the stem cells reaches 90 percent. According to the embodiment of the invention, the operations can be operated in the biosafety cabinet according to the operating rules, and the separation cannot be polluted by the reagent. Meanwhile, the surfaces of the stem cells separated by the method according to the embodiment of the invention are free from any markers, and the biological activity of the cells is not changed. In addition, according to the method of the embodiment of the invention, because the growth factor is added to the reagent in the separation process, the survival rate of the stem cells is improved in the separation process, and the pluripotency of the stem cells is maintained.
In a fourth aspect of the invention, the invention provides a kit for isolating stem cells. According to an embodiment of the invention, the kit comprises: the kit comprises a red blood cell separating solution, a first stem cell purifying solution and a second stem cell purifying solution.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the first stem cell purification solution is at least one selected from the group consisting of a balanced salt solution and a cell culture solution. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the types of the balanced Salt Solution and the cell culture Solution are not particularly limited, and according to an embodiment of the present invention, at least one of HBSS (Hank 'S balanced Salt Solution) and GBSS (GEY' S balanced Salt Solution) may be used. A preferred balanced salt solution is HBSS, and the culture medium that can be used is MEM culture medium.
