The effect of long-term culture in vitro on biological characteristics of human adipose tissue derived stem cells / 中华创伤骨科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the effect of lnng-term in vitro culture on the biological properties of adipose-derived stem cells(ADSCs)as seeding cells of tissue engineering.Methods The surface makers and apoptosis of primary and passaged human ADSCs were identified by flow cytometric analysis.Osteogenic differentiation of ADSCs at different passages were identified by alkaline phosphatase(ALP),Von Kossa staining and RT-PCR respectively.Results The surface marker expression of mesenchymal stem cells on ADSCs was high and did not change with passages of the cells.The early apoptosis rate of the cells was 1% to 2%,and increased insignificantly from passage one to passage nine.The osteogenic potential of ADSCs confirmed by ALP,Von Kossa staining and RT-PCR was maintained to as late as passage eight.Conclusion Since the biological properties of ADSCs are stable,they can be served as optimal seeding cells for tissue engineering and regenerative research.
