Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) are a subset of mesenchymal stem cells obtained from adipose tissue, which have paracrine functions, already becoming a focus in anti-aging researching.
OBJECTIVE: To review the research progress and application outlook of ADSCs’ paracrine functions in facial anti-aging.
METHODS: The first author searched the PubMed and CNKI databases using the keywords of “adipose-derived stem cells, paracrine, anti-aging” in English and Chinese, respectively, to retrieve relevant articles published from January 2001 to May 2016. Repetitive articles or those with no originality were eliminated. Totally 176 articles were searched initially, and 66 articles were included in result analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: ADSCs have paracrine function, which can secrete various growth factors (e.g., epidermal growth factor, transforming growth factor β, platelet-derived growth factor, vascular endothelial growth factor, collagen and fibronectin) and inflammatory factors (e.g., interferon-γ, interleukin-lβ, interleukin-8, interleukin-9, interleukin-12, interleukin-15, interleukin-17 and tumor necrosis factor-α). These paracrine products of ADSCs have significant effects on anti-aging, such as inhibiting skin aging, whitening skin, assisting lipotransfer, promoting hair regeneration.
