HEMATOPOIESIS AND STEM CELLS Specific plasma membrane protein phenotype of culture-amplified and native human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells1 Inserm, Equipe ESPRI/EA-3855, University François Rabelais, Faculty of Medicine, Tours, France; 2 Department of Rheumatology and Clinical Immunology, Laboratory for tissue engineering, Charité-University Medicine, Berlin, Germany; 3 Flow cytometry laboratory, Research Unit for Animal Infectiology and Public Health, Institut National de Recherche Agronomique, Nouzilly, France; 4 Inserm, U844, Lapeyronie Hospital, Montpellier, France; 5 Department of Orthopedic Surgery, University Hospital, Tours, France; 6 Etablissement Français du Sang-Centre-Atlantique, Tours, France; and 7 Inserm, U791, Faculty of Dental Surgery, Nantes, France We have studied the plasma membrane protein phenotype of human culture-amplified and native bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM MSCs). We have found, using microarrays and flow cytometry, that cultured cells express specifically 113 transcripts and 17 proteins that were not detected in hematopoietic cells. These antigens define a lineage-homogenous cell population of mesenchymal cells, clearly distinct from the hematopoietic lineages, and distinguishable from other cultured skeletal mesenchymal cells (periosteal cells and synovial fibroblasts). Among the specific membrane proteins present on cultured MSCs, 9 allowed the isolation from BM mononuclear cells of a minute population of native MSCs. The enrichment in colony-forming units–fibroblasts was low for CD49b, CD90, and CD105, but high for CD73, CD130, CD146, CD200, and integrin alphaV/beta5. In addition, the expression of CD73, CD146, and CD200 was down-regulated in differentiated cells. The new marker CD200, because of its specificity and immunomodulatory properties, deserves further in-depth studies.
