Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Adipose-derived stem cells have more broad application prospects than bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in tissue engineering because of the characteristics such as easy to obtain, and thus become one of the research hotspots today.
OBJECTIVE: To observe the growth characteristics of human adipose derived stem cells and to test their stem cell features and immunology characters.
METHODS: The subcutaneous fat tissue were extracted from three healthy volunteers through liposuction, and then digested with collagenase type I followed by in vitro primary culture and passage culture. Then, the biological characteristics of passaged cells were observed. Surface antigens and human leukocyte antigens were detected by flow cytometry. And then, peripheral blood lymphocytes were cultured with allogeneic adipose-derived stem cells to observe whether adipose-derived stem cells can accelerate the proliferation of lymphocytes.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The harvested adipose-derived stem cells had a strong expansion in vitro with “S” shape growth curve. The third generation cells were positive for CD29, CD44, CD90 and human leukocyte antigen I, and negative for CD34, CD45, CD31 and human leukocyte antigen II. Besides, the lymphocytes had no response induced by allogeneic adipose-derived stem cells. The differentiation potential of adipose-derived stem 
cells used in experiments was confirmed, and they had a weak rejection to the host, which indicates that the adipose-derived stem cells may be a candidate for cell treatment and tissue engineering.
