Abstract  Objective: Reduced glutathione (GSH) were discussed whether GSH could promote the chondrogenic induction ability of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs). Methods: hUC-MSCs were isolated from human umbilical cord and their specificity was identified, then, induced into cartilage-like cells in chondrogenic induction medium with tansforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1), especially with GSH. The morphological change before and after induction was observed through inverted phase contrast microscope, Type Ⅱcollagen(COL2A1) and glycosaminoglycan (GAG) were analyzed qualitatively by toluidine blue and immunofluorescence technique, respectively, the contents of COL2A1 and GAG were estimated from the determination of hydroxyproline content and Alcian Blue method separately. The mRNA expressions of GAG and COL2A1 were assayed by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR. Results: After continuously cultured for 21days with GSH, Toluidine blue staining and immunofluorescence reaction were all positive in basic induction medium group (group B), basic induction medium+0.5% dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) group (group BD) and basic induction medium+0.5% DMSO+500μmol/L GSH group (group BDG). Moreover, compared with in group B and group BD, the content of COL2A1 and GAG in group BDG relatively increased and the mRNA expression level of COL2A1 and GAG also comparatively increased(P<0.05), and both had a significant statistical significance(P<0.05). Conclusion: GSH might promote the chondrogenic differentiation of hUC-MSCs.
