MicroRNAs are important regulators of gene expression that control both physiological and pathological processes such as development of tissue and cancer. Some studies have shown that miR-33, has a critical role in control of self-renewal cells. Here to understand the role of adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs) as a feeder layer on expansion of hematpoietic stem cells (HSCs), the expression of p53 and miR-33a were evaluated. Material and methods: Isolated human ASCs in passage 3 were cultured as a feeder layer. Ex vivo cultures ofcord bloodCD34+ cells that expand in three culture conditions for 7 days were performed in following groups: fresh CD34+ cells, in the present of cytokines, directly cultured on feeder layer,indirectly cultured on feeder layer(cultured on thincert plate with 0.4 µm pore size). Expression of genes p53 and Mir-33a were analyzed by real-time PCR. Result: The expression of p53 was significantly (p<0.05) down regulated in HSCs directly cultured on ADSCs feeder layer compared to without feeder layer. The expression of miR-33a was significantly (p>0.05) up regulated in HSCs directly cultured on feeder layer compare to without feeder layer. Conclusion: Defining the role of ADSCs in controlling the HSC self-renewal through mir33 and p53may lead to the prevention and treatment of hematopoietic disorders.
