Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensors are most commonly applied for real-time dynamic analysis and measurement of interactions in bio-molecular studies and cell–surface analysis without the need for labeling processes. Up to present, SPR application in stem cell biology and biomedical sciences was underused. Herein, a very simple and sensitive method was developed to evaluate human mesenchymal stem cells trans-differentiation to endothelial lineage of over a period of 14 days based on VE-cadherin biomarker. The SPR signals increased with the increase of the amount of VE-cadherin expression on the cell surface during cell differentiation process. The method was able to detect ≈27 cells permm2. No significant effect was observed on the cell viability during the cell attachment to the surface of immune-reactive biochips and during the SPR analysis. Using this highly sensitive SPR method, it was possible to sense the early stage of endothelial differentiation on day 3 in label-free form, whereas flow cytometry and fluorescent microscopy methods were found unable to detect the cell differentiation at the same time. Therefore, the proposed method can rapidly and accurately detect cell differentiation in live cells and label-free manner without any need of cell breakage and has great potential for both diagnostic and experimental approaches.
