Abstract:

BACKGROUND: After co-culture with osteoblasts, bone marrow stem cells can be induced to differentiate into osteoblasts. Whether adipose-derived stem cells co-cultured with osteoblasts can differentiate into osteoblasts or not?
OBJECTIVE: To observe whether adipose-derived stem cells co-cultured with osteoblasts can differentiate into osteoblasts.
METHODS: Adipose-derived stem cells and osteoblasts were isolated from New Zealand white rabbits. Then, passage 3 adipose-derived stem cells were co-cultured with passage 2 osteoblasts in 10% or 5% fetal bovine serum for 14 days.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: After 7 days of co-culture, some adipose-derived stem cells became round in the two groups. After 14 days of co-culture, adipose-derived stem cells highly differentiated and differentiated cells were similar to mature osteoblasts that were positive for alkaline phosphatase staining and alizarin red staining. The mRNA expression of type I collagen and osteocalcin increased in both two group, especially in the 10% fetal bovine serum group. These findings indicate that adipose-derived stem cells co-cultured with osteoblasts can differentiate into osteoblasts induced by high-concentration serum culture.
