Effect of trehalose on survival rate for fat cells after cryopreservation / 中南大学学报(医学版)

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore effects of trehalose as a cryopreserve agent on survival rate of fatty tissue after cryopreservation.Methods:The liposuction was used on the abdomen of adult female.After centrifugation and purification,adipose was randomized into the following three groups,the trehalose group,the fetal bovine serum (FBS)+ 10％DMSO group and the physiological saline group.The specimens were cryopreserved at-196 ℃ for 3 months and then the HE staining,glucose transfer method and CK method were used to detect the cell survival rate in each group.Results:The activity of adipose in the trehalose group and FBS+10％DMSO group adipose was higher than that in the physiological saline group (P＜0.05);while there was no significant difference between the trehalose group and FBS+10％DMSO group (P＞0.05).Conclusion:As cryoprotectant,trehalose could keep fat cell viability,and adipose tissue can be used for clinical transplantation after 3 months' freezing.
