  • PREPARATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF ACELLULAR ADIPOSE TISSUE MATRIX

    ObjectiveTo prepare human acellular adipose tissue matrix and to evaluate the cellular compatibility so as to explore a suitable bio-derived scaffold for adipose tissue engineering. MethodsThe adipose tissue was harvested from abdominal skin graft of breast cancer patients undergoing radical mastectomy or modified radical mastectomy, and then was treated with a series of decellularization processes including repeated freeze-thaw, enzyme digestion, and organic solvent extraction. The matrix was examined by histology, immunohistochemistry, DAPI fluorescence staining, and scanning electron microscopy to observe the the removal of cells and to analyze its composition of collagen type IV, laminin, and fibronectin, and microstructure. The 3rd passage human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs) were co-cultured with acellular adipose tissue matrix and different concentrations of extracted liquid (100%, 75%, 50%, and 25%). The cytotoxic effects of the matrix were tested by MTT. The biocompatibility of the matrix was detected by live/dead staining and scanning electron microscopy observation. ResultsThe acellular adipose tissue matrix basically maintains intrinsical morphology. The matrix after acellular treatment consisted of extracellular matrix without any cell components, but there were abundant collagen type I; neither DNA nor lipid residual was detected. Moreover, the collagen was the main component of the matrix which was rich in laminin and fibronectin. At 1, 3, and 5 days after co-cultured with hADSCs, the cytotoxic effect of matrix was grade 0-1. The matrix displayed good cell compatibility and proliferation. ConclusionThe acellular adipose tissue matrix prepared by repeated freeze-thaw, enzyme digestion, and organic solvent extraction method remains abundant extracellular matrix and has good cellular compatibility, so it is expected to be an ideal bio-derived scaffold for adipose tissue engineering.

  • CHONDROGENESIS-SPECIFIC MICRORNA EXPRESSION PATTERN ANALYSIS IN CHONDROGENIC DIFFERENTIATION OF HUMAN ADIPOSE-DERIVED STEM CELLS

    ObjectiveTo investigate the microRNA (miRNA) expression profile during chondrogenic differentiation of human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs), and assess the roles of involved miRNAs during chondrogenesis. MethodshADSCs were harvested and cultured from donors who underwent elective liposuction or other abdominal surgery. When the cells were passaged to P3, chondrogenic induction medium was used for chondrogenic differentiation. The morphology of the cells was observed by inverted phase contrast microscopy. Alcian blue staining was carried out at 21 days after induction to access the chondrogenic status. The expressions of chondrogenic proteins were detected by ELISA at 0, 7, 14, and 21 days. The miRNA expression profiles at pre- and post-chondrogenic induction were obtained by microarray assay, and differentially expressed miRNAs were verified by real-time quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR). The targets of the miRNAs were predicted by online software programs. ResultshADSCs were cultured successfully and induced with chondrogenic medium. At 21 days after chondrogenic induction, the cells were stained positively for alcian blue staining. At 7, 14, and 21 days after chondrogenic induction, the levels of collogen type Ⅱ, Col2a1, aggrecan, Col10a1, and chondroitin sulfate in induced hADSCs were significantly higher than those in noninduced hADSCs (P<0.05). Eleven differentially expressed miRNAs were found, including seven up-regulated and four down-regulated. Predicted target genes of the differentially expressed miRNAs were based on the overlap from three public prediction algorithms, with the known functions of regulating chondrogenic differentiation of stem cells, selfrenewal, signal transduction, intracellular signaling cascade, and cell cycle control. ConclusionA group of miRNAs and their target genes are identified, which may play important roles in regulating chondrogenic differentiation of hADSCs. These results will facilitate the initial understanding of the molecular mechanism of chondrogenic differentiation in hADSCs and subsequently control hADSCs differentiation, and provide high performance seed cells for cartilage tissue engineering.

  • Investigation on HaCaT cell condition medium combined with all-trans-retinoic acid initiating differentiation of human adipose-derived stem cells into epidermal cells

    Objective To investigate the possibility of enhancing the inducing rate of adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) into epidermal cells in the medium containing all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) by supplementing with HaCaT condition medium. Methods ASCs were isolated and identified by detecting the expression of CD34, CD45, CD73, CD90, and CD105 with flow cytometry and differentiating into adipose and osteoblast lineage in the induction medium. The air-liquid interface cell culture model was established with the Transwell Room. The induction medium A contained ATRA, epidermal growth factor (EGF), and keratinocyte growth factor (KGF), while the induction medium B contained ATRA, EGF, KGF, and HaCaT condition medium. Experiment was divided into three groups cultured for 12 days: induction medium A (group A), induction medium B (group B), basic medium (group C). The epidermal cell surface markers: cytokeratin (CK) 14, 15, 16, 19 (Pan-CK) were detected by flow cytometry and CK14 were identified by immunofluorescence stain. Results After induction for 12 days, flow cytometry showed that the positive rate of Pan-CK in group B [(22.0±3.5)%] was higher than that in group A [(11.9±2.7)%], which were both higher than that in group C [(1.1±0.3)%], and the differences were statistical significantly (P<0.01). Immunofluorescence stain showed that the positive rate of CK14 in group B was higher than that in group A [(19.5±7.0)%vs. (10.8±5.7)%, P<0.01], and the expression of CK14 was negative in group C. Conclusion HaCaT condition medium can enhance the ability of ASCs differentiation into epidermal cells in the culture medium containing ATRA.
