ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs) on pressure ulcers in mouse.MethodsThe subcutaneous adipose tissue from voluntary donation was harvested. Then the hADSCs were isolated and cultured by mechanical isolation combined with typeⅠcollagenase digestion. The 3rd generation cells were identified by osteogenic, adipogenic, chondrogenic differentiations and flow cytometry. The platelet rich plasma (PRP) from peripheral blood donated by healthy volunteers was prepared by centrifugation. The pressure ulcer model was established in 45 C57BL/6 mice by two magnets pressurized the back skin, and randomly divided into 3 groups (n=15). The wounds were injected with 100 μL of hADSCs (1×106 cells) transfected with a green fluorescent protein (GFP)-carrying virus, 100 μL human PRP, and 100 μL PBS in hADSCs group, PRP group, and control group, respectively. The wound healing was observed after injection. The wound healing rate was calculated on the 5th, 9th, and 13th days. On the 5th, 11th, and 21st day, the specimens were stained with HE staing, Masson staining, and CD31 and S100 immunohistochemical staining to observe the vascular and nerve regeneration of the wound. In hADSCs group, fluorescence tracer method was used to observe the colonization and survival of the cells on the 11th day.ResultsThe cultured cells were identified as hADSCs by induced differentiation and flow cytometry. The platelet counting was significantly higher in PRP group than in normal peripheral blood group (t=5.781, P=0.029). General observation showed that the wound healing in hADSCs group was superior to those in PRP group and control group after injection. On the 5th, 9th, and 13th days, the wound healing rate in hADSCs group was significantly higher than those in PRP group and control group (P<0.05). Histological observation showed that compared with PRP group and control group, inflammatory cell infiltration and inflammatory reaction were significantly reduced in hADSCs group, collagen deposition was significantly increased, and skin appendage regeneration was seen on the 21st day; at each time point, the expression of collagen was significantly higher in hADSCs group than in PRP group and control group (P<0.05). Immunohistochemical staining showed that the number of neovascularization and the percentage of S100-positive cells in hADSCs group were significantly better than those in PRP group and control group on the 5th, 9th, and 13th days (P<0.05). Fluorescent tracer method showed that the hADSCs could colonize the wound and survive during 11 days after injection.ConclusionLocal transplantation of hADSCs can accelerate healing of pressure ulcer wounds in mice and improve healing quality by promoting revascularization and nerve regeneration.
