Abstract: The bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) from wistar rats were cultured and expression of surface markers, including CD34, CD44, CDw90, were evaluated. After the first generation BMMSCs were treated with 10 µmol/L 5-azacytidine agent, they were checked by immunohistochemistry staining of antibodies against α-sarcomeric actin and troponin T in 2 and 4 week. We verified that the first generation BMMSCs could be induced to differentiate into cardiomyocytes-like. This provided theory foundation and technique method for cardiomyocytes induced in vitro and applied in clinic.
