In canine system studying stem cell therapy is important but so far stem cells from canine were not identified and characterized. In this study we successfully isolated and characterized MSCs from the canine umbilical cord and its fetal blood. Canine MSCs cMSCs were grown in medium containing low glucose DMEM with 20 FBS. The cMSCs have stem cells expression patterns which are concerned with MSCs surface markers by fluorescence- activated cell sorter analysis. The cMSCs had multipotent abilities. In the neuronal differentiation study the cMSCs expressed the neuronal markers glial fibrillary acidic protein GFAP neuronal class III p tubulin Tuj-1 neurofilament M NF160 in the basal culture media. After neuronal differentiation the cMSCs expressed the neuronal markers Nestin GFAP Tuj-1 microtubule-associated protein 2 NF160. In the osteogenic chondrogenic differentiation studies cMSCs were stained with alizarin red and toluidine blue staining respectively. With osteogenic differentiation the cMSCs presented osteoblastic differentiation genes by RT-PCR. This finding also suggests that cMSCs might have the ability to differentiate multipotentially. It was concluded that isolated MSCs .
