Abstract  

Objective: To establish methodology for specific sorting of cardiac telocytes using c-Kit+ Combining with DiI Micro-label and flow cytometry. Methods: The cardiac telocytes were isolated via a c-Kit antibody conjugated magnetic bead method. The cells which have unique telocyte morphology, with long "Telopode", were labeled with DiI microinjection. The labeling DiI+ cells were sorted and recovered in 96-well plate by single cell flow cytometry technique. The immunofluorescence and RT-PCR were applied to confirm the phenotype of collected cells. Results: The cardiac telocytes (c-Kit+) which have unique telocyte morphology were able to be labeled by DiI microinjection. The DiI labeled cells were able to be sorted and recovered in single cell level. The adherent cells of collected DiI+ cells were 14.9% under culture. The 5.6% of cultured DiI+ cells was able to proliferate and the 2.4% of cultured DiI+ cells was able to form cell-clone. In addition, the formed cell-clone was able to subculture. The immunofluorescence staining confirmed that the recovered DiI+ cells were c-Kit-and CD34-positive. RT-PCR results also showed that the recovered DiI+ cells were positive for c-Kit, CD34, Vimentin and PDGFR-β, which are the markers for telocytes.Conclusion: The methodology which was established in present study was able to isolate and sort cardiac telocytes in single cell level. The sorted cardiac telocytes were able to proliferate and maintain the unique phenotype.
