Abstract:

BACKGROUND: The traditional treatment methods for osteoporosis accompanied by bone defects, such as autogenous bone graft, allograft, biomaterial implants, have significant limitations. The regenerative medicine approach using adipose-derived stem cells as seed cells offers a new way for the repair of bone defects following osteoporosis.

OBJECTIVE: To review the pathogenesis of osteoporosis and its impacts on the repair of bone defects, the signal pathway regulation of osteogenic differentiation of adipose-derived stem cells, and the feasibility of adipose-derived stem cells for repairing osteoporotic bone defects.
METHODS: A computer-based online search of CNKI database and PubMed database was performed to retrieve the relevant articles published from January 1998 to September 2014 with the key words of “adipose-derived stem cells, osteoporosis, bone defect, osteogenic differentiation, bone regeneration” in Chinese and English, respectively. Finally 77 articles were included for review after deleting unrelated and repetitive ones.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: In recent years, adipose-derived stem cells have been widely used in regenerative medicine research. With the development of relevant disciplines such as regenerative medicine, tissue engineering, molecular biology, and material science, in-depth studies on regulatory mechanisms of osteogenic differentiation of adipose-derived stem cells have been developed. Adipose-derived stem cells combined with biological scaffolds for construction of tissue-engineered bones provides a new way to repair osteoporotic bone defects.
