Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Adipose-derived stem cells are totipotent stem cells in the adipose tissue, and have the function of self-renewal and multi-directional differentiation. Human adipose-derived stem cells are ideal seed cells with stable genetic milieu and few rejections.
OBJECTIVE: To extract human adipose-derived stem cells from human omental adipose tissue and to identify the cells by adipogenic and osteogenic induction.
METHODS: Omental adipose tissues were collected from surgical patients to isolate and culture adipose-derived stem cells using type I collagenase digestion, filtration and centrifugation. Cell growth was observed and proliferative curve of human adipose-derived stem cells were drawn by cell counting method to calculate the doubling time at logarithmic growth phase. After adipogenic and osteogenic induction, induced cells were identified using oil red O and alizarin red staining, respectively.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Human adipose-derived stem cells were successfully isolated from the omentum tissues of surgical patients. Adherent cells were fusiform-shaped and like fibroblasts. The growth curve of passage 3 cells was in S shape, and the doubling time was 45.90 hours. After adipogenic and osteogenic induction for 2 and 3 hours, respectively, oil red O staining showed unequal-sized orange fat droplets, and alizarin red staining showed typical calcified nodules that were in orange. These findings indicate that adipose-derived .
