Popis: Fetal liver during period of its hematopoietic activity contains mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) that are known to play a major role in establishing hematopoietic microenvironment. These cells are capable of clonal growing and multilineage differentiation, but only limited data exist about changes in their properties during prenatal development. We compared cloning efficiency of MSC from liver of 14, 16 and 20 day rat fetuses and evaluated their potentials to in vitro osteo- and adipogenesis and in vivo chondrogenesis after whole organ ectopic transplantation. Content of clonogenic MSC in suspension of liver cells was maximal in 16 day fetuses and to a lesser extent in 20 day ones. MSC derived from 16 day fetuses demonstrated maximal potential to estimated lineages. Osteogenic potential of MSC from 14 day fetuses was comparable to whereas their adipogenic and chondrogenic abilities were inferior to that from 16 day fetuses. Cells from 20 day fetuses had only weak adipogenic potency and failed to differentiate into osteogenic of chondrogenic pathways. The results indicate that both number and differentiation potential of MSC in developing rat liver correlate with dynamics of hematopoiesis in this organ. Detected changes may be ascribed to the decline of hematopoiesis in liver and acquisition its definitive functions.
