| Research Abstract |
Small diameter characterizes epidermal progenitor/stem cells. We have developed Gravity Assisted Cell Sorting to simply enrich small-sized epidermal progenitor/stem cells. The cells sorted by this way were characterized by fluorescence-activated cell sorting analysis, and cultured for up to 7 weeks. The cultured cells were then used for fabrication of the artificial skin. A keratinocyte suspension was sized into 2 groups : cells trapped by a 20μm filter (trapped cells), and cells flowing through both a 20 and 11μm filter (non-trapped cells). These cells were characterized by FACS. Viability of the trapped cells was 64±15%, compared to the non-trapped cells (93±2%). 61% of the trapped cells were <40 μm, compared to 91% of the non-trapped cells. Culture of cells showed that cultures originating from the trapped cells senesced after approximately 15 days while the non-trapped keratinocytes grew for up to 40 days. In terms of the regenerative capability of sorted cells, non-trapped cells were significantly thicker than the trapped cells. These results indicate that sorted cells by this way is simple and useful to enrich epidermal progenitor/stem cell population, more efficient in cells in culture condition.
