The status of mesenchymal stem cells was confirmed by comparative analysis of a number of characteristics of these cells at early and late passages. The long-term cultivation revealed significant interstrain differences in growth characteristics and replicative senescence (RS). The MSC-DP-1 cells were characterized by a later entry into the MS active stage and more active proliferation compared to MSC-DP-2 cells. Karyotypic analysis showed that both lineages at early passages have a normal human diploid karyotype. Late (18th passage) in the stage of active RS, MSC-DP-2 cells retain the normal karyotype. MSC-DP-1 cells, which enter the active RS much later (at the 42nd passage), had an abnormal karyotype with a large the number of clonal and nonclonal chromosomal rearrangements. Both lineages showed a high proportion of cells carrying surface antigens characteristic of human MSCs—CD44, CD73, CD90, CD105, and HLA-ABC—and a low frequency of cells with CD34, CD45, and HLA-DR antigens. Cells of both lineages at an early passage demonstrated the ability to differentiate in the adipogenic, osteogenic, and chondrogenic directions. However, MSC-DP-2 cells showed a weaker differentiation capacity in the adipogenic direction than MSC-DP-1 cells. During RS, adipogenic differentiation in MSC-DP-1 cells is significantly weakened, while in MSC-DP-2 cells it disappeared. The activity of other differentiations did not change during RS. In general, the results obtained confirmed the MSC status of obtained lineages and revealed interlineage differences in the RS.

His anatomical study began with the ancient Greeks, who named the unusual-looking structure the “ram’s horn,” the cornu ammonis. The term “hippocampus” (Ancient Greek: ἱππόκαμπος, from ἵππος “horse” and κάμπος “sea monster” or “seahorse”) was first coined in the 16th century by the anatomist J.C. Arantius. The term “hippocampal formation” is currently applied to a group of cytoarchitectonically distinct adjacent regions, including, along with the hippocampus itself, the dentate gyrus, subiculum, presubiculum, parasubiculum, and entorhinal cortex. The rationale for including these six regions in the hippocampal formation group is that they are connected to each other by unique and largely unidirectional pathways. The review is devoted to the spatial, morphological, and cyto- and myeloarchitectonic organization of all parts of the rat hippocampal formation and the distinctive neuroanatomical characteristics of its parts. The comparative features of the structure of the hippocampal formation of rats, monkeys, and human beings are described. Although the volume of the hippocampus is approximately ten times larger in monkeys and 100 times larger in human beings than in rats, the basic architecture of the hippocampal formation is common, although there are some species differences. The relatively simple organization of the main cell layers, combined with the highly organized laminar distribution of hippocampal neuronal processes, facilitates its use as a model system in modern neurobiology.</p>","PeriodicalId":9705,"journal":{"name":"Cell and Tissue Biology","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140593547","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
