Objective To study the growth of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) planted in three-dimensional (3D) materials, a 3D cultured ADSCs system based on microbial transglutaminase (mTG) enzyme crosslinked gelatin hydrogel was constructed. Methods ADSCs were isolated from the subcutaneous adipose tissue of a Sprague Dawley rat by collagenase digestion and centrifugation, and were cultured for passage. The mTG enzyme crosslinked gelatin hydrogel was firstly synthesized by mixing gelatin and mTG, and then the ADSCs were encapsulated in situ (2D environment) and cultured in the 3D materials (3D environment). The morphology and adhesion of cells were observed by inverted phase contrast microscope. In addition, HE staining and Masson staining were carried out to observe the distribution of cells in the material. Living and death situation of ADSCs in the materials was observed by fluorescence microscope and laser scanning confocal microscopy. Scanning electron microscopy was used to observe the adhesion of ADSCs on hydrogel surface. Alamar-Blue method was used to detect the proliferation of ADSCs in the hydrogel. Moreover, the results were compared between the cells cultured in 2D environment and those in 3D environment. Results The result of 2D culture showed that ADSCs grew well on the hydrogel surface with normal functioning and had good adhesion. The results of 3D culture showed that ADSCs grew well in 3D cultured mTG enzyme crosslinked gelatin hydrogel, and presented 3D shape. Cells obviously extended in all directions. The number of apoptotic cells was very small. The cells of 3D culture at each time point was significantly less than that of the conventional culture cells, difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). But after 8 days culture, the proliferation of the cells cultured in the mTG enzyme crosslinked gelatin hydrogel increased more quickly. Conclusion ADSCs can grow well with good adhesion and show high viability in 3D culture system constructed by mTG enzyme crosslinked gelatin hydrogel.
