Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Adipose-derived stem cells are pluripotent stem cells developed from the mesoderm, which can differentiate into different lineages induced by specific growth factors and under certain environmental conditions.
OBJECTIVE: To describe the induced differentiation and identification of adipose-derived stem cells in detail.
METHODS: A computer-based search of Wanfang and PubMed databases was performed for relevant articles published from 2005 to 2014 using the keywords of “adipose derived stem cells, induced, differentiation” in Chinese and English, respectively. According to inclusion and exclusion criteria, 37 articles were selected in result analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Adipose-derived stem cells can differentiate into chondrocytes under the induction of ascorbic acid, insulin, dexamethasone, and transforming growth factor β. Recipe for adipogenic induction medium consists of 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX), insulin, dexamethasone, indomethacin; and commonly used inducers for osteogenic differentiation include dexamethasone or vitamin D3, ascorbic acid, β-glycerophosphate. Basic fibroblast growth factor, epidermal growth factor and vitamin B27 may be combined to induce the differentiation of adipose-derived stem cells into neurons. 5-Azacytidine acts as a commonly used factor for inducing the differentiation of adipose-derived stem cells into cardiomyocytes. Combination of vascular endothelial growth factor and basic fibroblast growth factor can induce adipose-derived stem cells to differentiate into vascular endothelial cells. With the rapid development of molecular biology and cell biology, research on the differentiation of adipose-derived stem cells will be more in-depth. Based on the current observation of  adipose-derived stem cell differentiation, internal molecular mechanism as well as genes and proteins for regulation of adipose-stem cell plasticity should be explored in depth.
