The study of isolation, cultivation and differentiation to chondrocytic type of adiposederived stem cells / 中国医师杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the methods of isolation, cultivation of adipose derived stem cells (ADSCs) from the rats'adipose tissue and the feasibility of inducting differentiation to chondrocyte.Methods The adipose tissue was obtained from the wistar's male rats, and it was isolated, cultivated, and subcultured. The expression of CD29 in the subcultured ADSCs was detected by immunofluorescence. The 3rd generation ADSCs was cultured in the medium contained TGF-β, and the presence was identified by type Ⅱ collagen immunohistochemistry. Results The character of ADSCs'morphology could be observed by microscope, and it can be identified by immunofluorescence. Through the course of inducting the ADSCs to chondrocyte, the feasibility of inducting ADSCs to chondrocyte showed that type Ⅱ collagen was expressed.Conclusion We demonstrated the presence of stem cells in the adipose tissue, and the stability of biological feature in vitro. The chondrocyte could be obtained from the adipose tissue through the committed differentiation, induction, cultivation by exogenous transforming growth factor (TGF-β). The ability of the adipose stem cell differentiating to chondrocyte was also proved.
