Objective To establish the directed differentiation media including 30 ng/ml FGF-4 and 30ng/ml OSM and reveal the differentiation of bone marrow cells (BMSCs) into hepatocytes by morphological examination and determination of rnRNA expression, protein expression and cell function. Methods The mouse BMSCs were cultured in the directed differentiation media including FGF-4 and OSM. Morphology of the hepatocytes form directed differentiation of BMSCs were identified. RNA expression of the hepatocytes was tested by RT-PCR and the protein expression by Western blotting and immunofluorescent assay. Synthetic and metabolic functions of the hepatocytes were investigated by albumin ELISA, periodic acid Shill staining and urea assay. Results Some epitheliumlike cells or polygonal cells appeared and increased in the course of the cell directed differentiation. HNF-313, ALB, CK18, TTR, G-6-Pase and TAT mRNA were expressed in the course of the directed differentiation. The directed differentiated cells expressed HNF-313, ALB and CK18 on day 21. ALB was found in the cytoplasm and cell membrane while CK18 scattered in the cytoplasm. The differentiated cells produced albumin and synthesized urea in a time-dependent manner. They could also synthesize glycogen. Conclusions The differentiation media including FGF-4 and OSM is effective to differentiate mouse BMSCs into hepatoeytes.
