Objective To summarize the isolation procedures, molecular characterization, and differentiation and vascularization capacity of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs), in order to discuss the potential value of ADSCs for the repairment and regeneration of adipose tissues. Methods Related literatures about ADSCs were retrieved to summarize the potential value of ADSCs for the repairment and regeneration of adipose tissues. Results As mesenchymal stem cells, ADSCs was rich in human adipose tissues. ADSCs possessed the potential to differentiate toward a variety of cell lineages, such as adipogenic, chondrogenic, osteogenic, cardiomyogenic, myogenic, and angiogenic. Besides, its capacity of adipogenic differentiation could maintain several passages. The most importantly, ADSCs could secrete significant amounts of angiogenesis-related cytokines, such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2), which increased the angiogenesis of adipose tissue. Conclusions ADSCs play a key role in adipose tissue engineering, autologous adipose tissue grafting, and soft tissue wound repairing, which have important application prospect for breast reconstruction.
