Biological characteristics of adipose-derived stem cells derived from renal fat capsule and groin in vitro / 中国组织工程研究

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:Adipose-derived stem cel s have different sources, but it is unclear whether these cel s from different sources have difference in their biological properties. OBJECTIVE:To detect the in vitro proliferation and chondrogenic differentiation of adipose-derived stem cel s derived from renal fat capsule and groin. METHODS:Adipose-derived stem cel s from renal fat capsule and groin of rats were isolated, cultured and identified. MTT assay was used to detect in vitro proliferation ability of these cel s. Passage 3 cel s were under chondrogenic induction for 2 weeks. After induction, the expression of type II col agen was observed by immunofluorescence detection, and RT-PCR was employed to detect the expression levels of Aggrecan and type II col agen mRNA in the two groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After primary culture and passage, adipose-derived stem cel s from the renal fat capsule and groin of rats exhibited similar morphology, and over 95%of cel s expressed CD44 in the two groups. Adipose-derived stem cel s from two sources showed an S-shaped growth curve in vitro and were positive for type II col agen. After RT-PCR detection, the expression levels of Aggrecan and type II col agen mRNA had no difference in adipose-derived stem cel s from renal fat capsule and groin (P>0.05). Experimental results show that adipose-derived stem cel s from both renal fat capsule and groin exhibit stable growth, rapid proliferation and chondrogenic differentiation under orient induction in vitro, indicating there is no difference between these cel s from two sources.
