Abstract: To isolate and culture the mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) of rat from peripheral blood and marrow, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor(G-CSF) was used. The percentage of CD44+ cells increased significantly higher after mobilization by G-CSF. MSCs were isolated and cultured unsuccessfully from peripheral blood control group and mobilized I group (mobilizated by 20 μg/kg G-CSF). The typical colonies of MSCs were isolated after being mobilization by 50 μg/kg and 80 μg/kg G-CSF. Surface markers of obtained MSCs were accordance with MSCs from bone marrow by FACS assay. We confirmed that the peripheral blood MSCs from rat could be mobilizated dependent on the dosage of G-CSF.
