Stem Cell Biology
Regenerative Medicine
Otolaryngology

Background:

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are crucial for tissue repair and regeneration.
Olfactory mucosa is a potential source of stem cells due to its regenerative capacity.
Efficient isolation methods are needed to harness the therapeutic potential of these cells.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce a novel method for isolating mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from rabbit olfactory mucosa.
To characterize the isolated cell population for stem cell markers and differentiation potential.

Main Methods:

Olfactory stem cells (OSCs) were isolated from the ethmoid bone's cribriform plate in rabbits.
Flow cytometry was used with specific antibodies (CD34, CD45, CD73, CD79, CD90, CD105) for characterization.
In vitro assays assessed proliferation, colony-forming ability (CFU-f), differentiation into three lineages, and cryopreservation response.
Transduction with Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) was performed for potential in vivo tracking.

Main Results:

Isolated OSCs exhibited mesenchymal stem cell characteristics, including positive expression of CD73 and CD90, and multipotency.
The cells demonstrated a high proliferation rate, sustained viability through multiple passages, and retained differentiation potential post-cryopreservation.
Successful GFP transduction indicated the feasibility of in vivo cellular tracking for preclinical applications.

Conclusions:

The described technique is effective for isolating mesenchymal stem cells from rabbit olfactory mucosa.
These rabbit olfactory stem cells (OSCs) possess desirable properties for regenerative medicine and preclinical studies.
