Abstract:

BACKGROUND: To obtain enough adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) is the premise of repairing osteoporotic bone defects by autograft transplantation; therefore, how to efficiently, simply and economically harvest primary autologous ADSCs is the key to the treatment of osteoporosis.
OBJECTIVE: To isolate and culture ADSCs from mice with osteoporosis (OP-ADSCs) in vitro by tissue explant culture and collagenase digestion, and to compare the efficacies of these two methods.
METHODS: Adipose tissues were isolated from the inguen of C57BL/6 mice, from which OP-ADSCs were obtained by tissue explant culture and collagenase digestion respectively. Then, the cells were subjected to primary culture and subculture. The surface specific antigens of passage 3 cells were observed using flow cytometry, while the yields and proliferation abilities of passage 3 were compared at 7 days of culture. The adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation of OP-ADSCs at passage 4 was detected.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The expression levels of CD34, CD146, Sca-1 in passage 3 cells were (15.22±1.85)%, (75.55±3.36)% and (83.48±4.22)% for the tissue explant culture and (13.46±2.21)%, (76.62±2.47)% and (84.84±3.56)% for the collagenase digestion method, respectively. (2) The cell yield from each milligram of adipose tissue by tissue explant culture was significantly higher than that by collagenase digestion (P < 0. 05). (3) The proliferation rate of cells in the tissue explant culture group was higher than that in the collagenase digestion group after 24 hours of culture. (4) The OP-ADSCs cultured by the two methods could differentiate into adipocytes and osteoblasts, and the lipid accumulation and the mineralized nodules showed no significant difference between the two groups (both P > 0.05). These experimental findings indicate that the tissue explant culture is more suitable for obtaining OP-ADSCs in vitro as compared with collagenase digestion, which contributes to provide adequate cell sources for studies on ADSCs treatment of osteoporotic fractures and bone defects.
