Abstract
Objectives
The purpose of this study is to identify whether the change of pH affects the proliferation and the differentiation of human bone marrow stem cells (hBMSCs) and what mechanism is underlied.
Methods
To achieve objective of this study, hBMSCs were cultivated in the conditioned media adjusted to potential of hydrogen (pH) ranging from 6.4 to 8.0 using addition of hydrochloric acid (HCl) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH). The ratio of proliferation of hBMSCs according to the change of pH was measured for 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h using water-soluble tetrazolium salt (WST)-8 method. To elucidate the mechanism involved, hBMSCs was subjected to blocking extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK) and calcium sensing receptor (CaSR) activation. The Osteogenic-related genes and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity were tested under the conditioned media.
