Bioreactor systems have been developed as alternatives to standard culture flasks due to their homogeneous nature, easiness of monitoring and increased cell production. Here we investigated the in vitro expansion of bone marrow (BM) mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) in spinner flasks, using gelatin microcarriers (Cultispher S) to support cell adhesion and proliferation. MSC expansion was performed using a low-serum containing medium (2% of fetal bovine serum, FBS).A strategy was defined for the maximization of cell expansion: microcarriers were pre-coated with FBS in order to increase cell seeding efficiency and an adequate feeding regime was established (25% medium exchange everyday). The maximum cell density, 4.2 × 105 cells/mL, was obtained at day 8, corresponding to a fold increase in total cell number of 8.4 ± 0.8. Expanded MSC retained their differentiation potential into adipogenic and osteogenic lineages, as well as their clonogenic ability. Harvested cells expressed >90% of CD73, CD90 and CD105 markers.These results demonstrated that a microcarrier-based stirred culture system is adequate for human MSC expansion, using a low-serum containing medium, allowing the generation of significant cell numbers for potential applications in regenerative medicine.
