A Novel Enzymatic Digestion Approach for Isolation and Culture of Rodent Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Progenitors

Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are promising therapeutic tools for tissue repair and treatment of a number of human diseases. As a result, there is substantial interest in characterizing and expanding these cells to uncover their therapeutic potential. Bone marrow mesenchymal progenitors, containing both MSCs and their proliferative progeny, are commonly isolated from the central region of rodent long bones. However, challenges exist in expanding these central mesenchymal progenitors in culture. We have designed an enzymatic digestion protocol to isolate mesenchymal progenitors within rodent long bones that resides close to the bone surface, which we termed endosteal mesenchymal progenitors. These cells are more metabolically active and more responsive to external stimuli compared to central mesenchymal progenitors. Therefore, they represent a biologically important target for MSC research. This chapter describes the approach in detail how to isolate and culture endosteal mesenchymal progenitors as well as their central counterparts from rodent long bones.
