Abstract
To investigate effects of recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) plus recombinant human granulocyte colony stimulating factor (rhG-CSF) on mobilization of CD90(+)CD34(-) and Sca-1(+) stem cells in mice. rhEPO 1000 IU·kg(-1)·d(-1) per mice alone or plus rhG-CSF 250 μg·kg(-1)·d-1(-1)per mice was administered to mice for five days, the peripheral blood was collected at 6 hours, 1, 3,5 and 7 days after the last administration. The number of white blood cells (WBC) and mononuclear cells (MNC) was counted. The level of CD34, CD90 and Sca-1 mRNA were detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).The expressions of CD90(+)CD34(-) in absolute nuclear cells of peripheral blood was detected by flow cytometry. The results indicate that compared to mobilizing by rhG-CSF, rhEPO or plus rhG-CSF did not significantly enhance the number of WBC and MNC, on the fifth and the seventh day after the last administration, both the expression of CD34,CD90 and Sca-1 mRNA and the proportion of CD90(+)CD34(-) cells dramatically raised in rhEPO or in addition to rhG-CSF groups. We conclude that rhEPO or plus rhG-CSF had a strong capacity of mobilization of stem cells. The alteration of expression of CD34, CD90 and Sca-1 mRNA after the administration of rhEPO or combined with rhG-CSF indicated that this agents might potentially alter the peripheral blood graft content.

Abstract
The process of differentiation from preadipocytes to adipocytes contributes to adipose tissue expansion in obesity. Blocking adipogenesis may be conducive to the etiology of obesity-related diseases. BMP and activin membrane-bound inhibitor (BAMBI) is a transmembrane protein, which was identified as a target of β-catenin in colorectal and hepatocellular tumor cells. However, whether BAMBI affects adipogenesis by Wnt/β-catenin signaling remains to be explored. In this study, we distinguish BAMBI as an inhibitor of preadipocytes differentiation. We found that BAMBI was downregulated during preadipocytes differentiation. Knockdown of BAMBI increased adipogenesis and blocked Wnt/β-catenin signaling by repressing β-catenin accumulation. In BAMBI overexpression cells, lipid accumulation was reduced by promoting nuclear translocation of β-catenin. Lithium chloride (LiCl) is an activator of Wnt/β-catenin signaling, which is an inhibitor of glycogen synthetase kinase-3 (GSK-3), maintaining the stability of β-catenin in cytosolic. We showed BAMBI strengthened the anti-adipogenic effects of LiCl. In addition, the results indicated that BAMBI was upregulated by β-catenin. These observations illuminated that BAMBI inhibits adipogenesis by a feedback loop (BAMBI→β-catenin nuclear translocation→BAMBI), which forms with Wnt/β-catenin signaling.

Abstract
Adipose-derived stem cells represent a type of mesenchymal stem cells with the attendant capacity to self-renew and differentiate into multiple cell lineages. We have performed a microarray-based gene expression profiling of osteogenic differentiation and found that the transcription factor Sox11 is down-regulated during the process. Functional assays demonstrate that down-regulation of Sox11 is required for an efficient differentiation. Furthermore, results from forced expression of constitutively-active and dominant-negative derivatives of Sox11 indicate that Sox11 functions as a transcriptional activator in inhibiting osteogenesis. Sox11 thus represents a novel regulator of osteogenesis whose expression and activity can be potentially manipulated for controlled differentiation.

miRNA let-7e targeting MMP9 is involved in adipose-derived stem cell differentiation toward epithelia. Cell Death Dis 2014; 5:e1048.

Abstract
miRNA let-7e is involved in stem cell differentiation, and metalloproteinases are among its potential target genes. We hypothesized that the inhibitory action of let-7e on regulation of MMP9 expression could represent a crucial mechanism during differentiation of adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs). ASCs were differentiated with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) to promote differentiation, and the effect of let-7 silencing during differentiation was tested. Results indicate that ASCs cultured with ATRA differentiated into cells of the epithelial lineage. We found that ASCs cultured with ATRA or transfected with miRNA let-7e expressed epithelial markers such as cytokeratin-18 and early renal organogenesis markers such as Pax2, Wt1, Wnt4 and megalin. Conversely, the specific knockdown of miRNA let-7e in ASCs significantly decreased the expression of these genes, indicating its vital role during the differentiation process. Using luciferase reporter assays, we also showed that MMP9 is a direct target of miRNA let-7e. Thus, our results suggest that miRNA let-7e acts as a matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP9) inhibitor and differentiation inducer in ASCs.

Abstract
Objective: To develop a closed, automated system that standardizes the processing of human adipose tissue to obtain and concentrate regenerative cells suitable for clinical treatment of thermal and radioactive burn wounds. Approach: A medical device was designed to automate processing of adipose tissue to obtain a clinical-grade cell output of stromal vascular cells that may be used immediately as a therapy for a number of conditions, including nonhealing wounds resulting from radiation damage. Results: The Celution® System reliably and reproducibly generated adipose-derived regenerative cells (ADRCs) from tissue collected manually and from three commercial power-assisted liposuction devices. The entire process of introducing tissue into the system, tissue washing and proteolytic digestion, isolation and concentration of the nonadipocyte nucleated cell fraction, and return to the patient as a wound therapeutic, can be achieved in approximately 1.5 h. An alternative approach that applies ultrasound energy in place of enzymatic digestion demonstrates extremely poor efficiency cell extraction. Innovation: The Celution System is the first medical device validated and approved by multiple international regulatory authorities to generate autologous stromal vascular cells from adipose tissue that can be used in a real-time bedside manner. Conclusion: Initial preclinical and clinical studies using ADRCs obtained using the automated tissue processing Celution device described herein validate a safe and effective manner to obtain a promising novel cell-based treatment for wound healing.

Adipose stromal cells contain phenotypically distinct adipogenic progenitors derived from neural crest. PLoS One 2013; 8:e84206.

Abstract
Recent studies have shown that adipose-derived stromal/stem cells (ASCs) contain phenotypically and functionally heterogeneous subpopulations of cells, but their developmental origin and their relative differentiation potential remain elusive. In the present study, we aimed at investigating how and to what extent the neural crest contributes to ASCs using Cre-loxP-mediated fate mapping. ASCs harvested from subcutaneous fat depots of either adult P0-Cre/or Wnt1-Cre/Floxed-reporter mice contained a few neural crest-derived ASCs (NCDASCs). This subpopulation of cells was successfully expanded in vitro under standard culture conditions and their growth rate was comparable to non-neural crest derivatives. Although NCDASCs were positive for several mesenchymal stem cell markers as non-neural crest derivatives, they exhibited a unique bipolar or multipolar morphology with higher expression of markers for both neural crest progenitors (p75NTR, Nestin, and Sox2) and preadipocytes (CD24, CD34, S100, Pref-1, GATA2, and C/EBP-delta). NCDASCs were able to differentiate into adipocytes with high efficiency but their osteogenic and chondrogenic potential was markedly attenuated, indicating their commitment to adipogenesis. In vivo, a very small proportion of adipocytes were originated from the neural crest. In addition, p75NTR-positive neural crest-derived cells were identified along the vessels within the subcutaneous adipose tissue, but they were negative for mural and endothelial markers. These results demonstrate that ASCs contain neural crest-derived adipocyte-restricted progenitors whose phenotype is distinct from that of non-neural crest derivatives.

Abstract
Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) are a heterogeneous cell population that may be enriched by positive selection with antibodies against the low-affinity nerve growth factor receptor (LNGFR or CD271), yielding a selective cell universe with higher proliferation and differentiation potential. This paper addresses the need for determining the quantity of ADSCs positive for the CD271 receptor and its correlation with donor's age. Mononuclear cells were harvested from the lower backs of 35 female donors and purified using magnetic beads. Multipotency capacity was tested by the expression of stemness genes and through differentiation into preosteoblasts and adipocytes. A significant statistical difference was found in CD271(+) concentrations between defined age intervals. The highest yield was found within women on the 30-40-year-old age range. CD271(+) ADSCs from all age groups showed differentiation capabilities as well as expression of typical multipotent stem cell genes. Our data suggest that the amount of CD271(+) cells correlates inversely with age. However, the ability to obtain these cells was maintained through all age ranges with a yield higher than what has been reported from bone marrow. Our findings propose CD271(+) ADSCs as the primary choice for tissue regeneration and autologous stem cell therapies in older subjects.

Abstract
Adipose tissue is formed at stereotypic times and locations in a diverse array of organisms. Once formed, the tissue is dynamic, responding to homeostatic and external cues and capable of a 15-fold expansion. The formation and maintenance of adipose tissue is essential to many biological processes and when perturbed leads to significant diseases. Despite this basic and clinical significance, understanding of the developmental biology of adipose tissue has languished. In this Review, we highlight recent efforts to unveil adipose developmental cues, adipose stem cell biology and the regulators of adipose tissue homeostasis and dynamism.

Abstract
Administration of in vitro expanded mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) represents a promising therapy for regenerative medicine and autoimmunity. Both mouse and human MSCs ameliorate autoimmune disease in syn-, allo- and xenogeneic settings. However, MSC preparations are heterogeneous which impairs their therapeutic efficacy and endorses variability between experiments. This heterogeneity has also been a main hurdle in translating experimental MSC data from mouse models to human patients. The objective of the present manuscript has been to further characterize murine MSCs (mMSCs) with the aim of designing more efficient and specific MSC-based therapies. We have found that mMSCs are heterogeneous for endoglin (CD105) expression and that this heterogeneity is not due to different stages of MSC differentiation. CD105 is induced on a subpopulation of mMSCs early upon in vitro culture giving rise to CD105+ and CD105- MSCs. CD105+ and CD105- mMSCs represent independent subpopulations that maintain their properties upon several passages. CD105 expression on CD105+ mMSCs was affected by passage number and cell confluency while CD105- mMSCs remained negative. The CD105+ and CD105- mMSC subpopulations had similar growth potential and expressed almost identical mMSC markers (CD29+CD44+Sca1 + MHC-I+ and CD45-CD11b-CD31-) but varied in their differentiation and immunoregulatory properties. Interestingly, CD105- mMSCs were more prone to differentiate into adipocytes and osteocytes and suppressed the proliferation of CD4+ T cells more efficiently compared to CD105+ mMSCs. Based on these studies we propose to redefine the phenotype of mMSCs based on CD105 expression.

Abstract
In mammals, the two main types of adipose tissues, white and brown adipose tissues, exert different physiological functions. White adipose tissue (WAT) is for storing energy, while brown adipose tissue (BAT) is for energy consumption. Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) are abundant in WAT and BAT, have multipotent characteristics, and are easily extracted. ADSCs can be differentiated into several cell lineages, including adipocytes, osteoblasts, chondrocytes (cartilage cells), myocytes, and neuronal cells. Therefore, ADSC could be considered as a strategy for future regenerative medicine and tissue engineering.

Abstract
Advanced adult soft-tissue sarcomas (STSs) are rare tumors with a dismal prognosis and limited systemic treatment options. STSs may originate from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs); the latter have mainly been isolated from adult bone marrow as plastic-adherent cells with differentiation capacity into mesenchymal tissues. Recently, a panel of antibodies has been established that allows for the prospective isolation of primary MSCs with high selectivity. Similar to cancer stem cells in other malignancies, sarcoma stem cells may bear immunophenotypic similarity with the corresponding precursor, that is, MSCs. We therefore set out to establish the expression pattern of MSC markers in sarcoma cell lines and primary tumor samples by flow cytometry. In addition, fibroblasts from different sources were examined. The results document a significant amount of MSC markers shared by sarcoma cells. The expression pattern includes uniformly expressed markers, as well as MSC markers that only stained subpopulations of sarcoma cells. Expression of W5C5, W8B2 (tissue nonspecific alkaline phosphatase [TNAP]), CD344 (frizzled-4), and CD271 marked subpopulations displaying increased proliferation potential. Moreover, CD271+ cells displayed in vitro doxorubicin resistance and an increased capacity to form spheres under serum-free conditions. Interestingly, another set of antigens, including the bona fide progenitor cell markers CD117 and CD133, were not expressed. Comparative expression patterns of novel MSC markers in sarcoma cells, as well as fibroblasts and MSCs, are presented. Our data suggest a hierarchical cytoarchitecture of the most common adult type sarcomas and introduce W5C5, TNAP, CD344, and CD271 as potential sarcoma progenitor cell markers.

Abstract
During the process of development, neural crest cells migrate out from their niche between the newly formed ectoderm and the neural tube. Thereafter, they give rise not only to ectodermal cell types, but also to mesodermal cell types. Cell types with neural crest ancestry consequently comprise a number of specialized varieties, such as ectodermal neurons, melanocytes and Schwann cells, as well as mesodermal osteoblasts, adipocytes and smooth muscle cells. Numerous recent studies suggest that stem cells with a neural crest origin persist into adulthood, especially within the mammalian craniofacial compartment. This review discusses the sources of adult neural crest-derived stem cells (NCSCs) derived from the cranium, as well as their differentiation potential and expression of key stem cell markers. Furthermore, the expression of marker genes associated with embryonic stem cells and the issue of multi- versus pluripotency of adult NCSCs is reviewed. Stringent tests are proposed, which, if performed, are anticipated to clarify the issue of adult NCSC potency. Finally, current pre-clinical and clinical data are discussed in light of the clinical impact of adult NCSCs.

Abstract
While the role of p75(NTR) signaling in the regulation of nerve-related cell growth and survival has been well documented, its actions in osteoblasts are poorly understood. In this study, we examined the effects of p75(NTR) on osteoblast proliferation and differentiation using the MC3T3-E1 pre-osteoblast cell line. Proliferation and osteogenic differentiation were significantly enhanced in p75(NTR)-overexpressing MC3T3-E1 cells (p75GFP-E1). In addition, expression of osteoblast-specific osteocalcin (OCN), bone sialoprotein (BSP), and osterix mRNA, ALP activity, and mineralization capacity were dramatically enhanced in p75GFP-E1 cells, compared to wild MC3T3-E1 cells (GFP-E1). To determine the binding partner of p75(NTR) in p75GFP-E1 cells during osteogenic differentiation, we examined the expression of trkA, trkB, and trkC that are known binding partners of p75(NTR), as well as NgR. Pharmacological inhibition of trk tyrosine kinase with the K252a inhibitor resulted in marked reduction in the level of ALPase under osteogenic conditions. The deletion of the GDI binding domain in the p75(NTR)-GFP construct had no effect on mineralization. Taken together, our studies demonstrated that p75(NTR) signaling through the trk tyrosine kinase pathway affects osteoblast functions by targeting osteoblast proliferation and differentiation.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Adult mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can be converted into hair cell-like cells by transdetermination. BACKGROUND Given the fundamental role sensory hair cells play in sound detection and the irreversibility of their loss in mammals, much research has focused on developing methods to generate new hair cells as a means of treating permanent hearing loss. Although MSCs can differentiate into multiple cell lineages, no efficient means of reprogramming them into sensory hair cells exists. Earlier work has shown that the transcription factor Atoh1 is necessary for early development of hair cells, but it is not clear whether Atoh1 can be used to convert MSCs into hair cells. METHODS Clonal MSC cell lines were established and reprogrammed into hair cell-like cells by a combination of protein transfer, adenoviral based gene transfer, and co-culture with neurons. During transdetermination, inner ear molecular markers were analyzed using reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction, and cell structures were examined using immunocytochemistry. RESULTS Atoh1 overexpression in MSCs failed to convert MSCs into hair cell-like cells, suggesting that the ability of Atoh1 to induce hair cell differentiation is context dependent. Because Atoh1 overexpression successfully transforms VOT-E36 cells into hair cell-like cells, we modified the cell context of MSCs by performing a total protein transfer from VOT-E36 cells before overexpressing Atoh1. The modified MSCs were transformed into hair cell-like cells and attracted contacts from spiral ganglion neurons in a co-culture model. CONCLUSION We established a new procedure, consisting of VOT-E36 protein transfer, Atoh1 overexpression, and co-culture with spiral ganglion neurons, which can transform MSCs into hair cell-like cells.

Abstract
Neonatal stromal cells from umbilical cord blood (CB) are promising alternatives to bone marrow- (BM-) derived multipotent stromal cells (MSCs). In comparison to BM-MSC, the less mature CB-derived stromal cells have been described as a cell population with higher differentiation and proliferation potential that might be of potential interest for clinical application in regenerative medicine. Recently, it has become clear that cord blood contains different stromal cell populations, and as of today, a clear distinction between unrestricted somatic stromal cells (USSCs) and CB-MSC has been established. This classification is based on the expression of DLK-1, HOX, and CD146, as well as functional examination of the adipogenic differentiation potential and the capacity to support haematopoiesis in vitro and in vivo. However, a marker enabling a prospective isolation of the rare cell populations directly out of cord blood is yet to be found. Further analysis may help to reveal even more subpopulations with different properties, which could be useful for the directed application of these cells in preclinical models.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study compared rate of cell proliferation, viability, cell size, expression patterns of genes related to pluripotency and epigenetic modification between canine foetal fibroblasts (cFF) and canine adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (cAd-MSC). MATERIALS AND METHODS Proliferation pattern, cell viability as well as cell size at each passage of cFF and cAd-MSC were measured when cultures reached confluence. In addition, real-time PCR was performed to investigate expression of Dnmt1, HDAC1, OCT4, SOX2, BAX, BCL2 genes with reference to β-actin gene expression as an endogenous control in both cell lines. RESULTS cFF and cAd-MSC differed in number of generations, but not in doubling times, at all passages. Mean cell size of cAd-MSC was significantly smaller than that of cFF. Cell viability was significantly lower in cFFs and apoptotic level was significantly lower in cAd-MSC compared to passage-matched cFF. In the expression of genes related to pluripotency and epigenetic modification, level of HDAC1 in cAd-MSC was significantly higher than in cFF, but expression of Dnmt1 did not differ between the two groups. OCT4 and SOX2 were significantly more highly expressed in cAd-MSC compared to cFF. CONCLUSIONS cAd-MSC have higher stem-cell potential than cFF in terms of proliferation patterns, epigenetic modification and pluripotency, thus cAd-MSC could be more appropriate than cFF as donors of nuclei in somatic cell nuclear transfer for transgenesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tissue regeneration and recovery in the adult body depends on self-renewal and differentiation of stem and progenitor cells. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that have the ability to differentiate into various cell types, have been isolated from the stromal fraction of virtually all tissues. However, little is known about the true identity of MSCs. MSC populations exhibit great tissue-, location- and patient-specific variation in gene expression and are heterogeneous in cell composition. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Our aim was to analyze the dynamics of differentiation of two closely related stromal cell types, adipose tissue-derived MSCs (AdMSCs) and dermal fibroblasts (FBs) along adipogenic, osteogenic and chondrogenic lineages using multiplex RNA-seq technology. We found that undifferentiated donor-matched AdMSCs and FBs are distinct populations that stay different upon differentiation into adipocytes, osteoblasts and chondrocytes. The changes in lineage-specific gene expression occur early in differentiation and persist over time in both AdMSCs and FBs. Further, AdMSCs and FBs exhibit similar dynamics of adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation but different dynamics of chondrogenic differentiation. CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE Our findings suggest that stromal stem cells including AdMSCs and dermal FBs exploit different molecular mechanisms of differentiation to reach a common cell fate. The early mechanisms of differentiation are lineage-specific and are similar for adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation but are distinct for chondrogenic differentiation between AdMSCs and FBs.

Abstract
AbstractBackground:Adipose-derived stem cells have been reported as a novel candidate for the repair of cartilage injuries in vivo.Methods:In order to assess their differentiation ability, adipose-derived stem cells isolated from rabbit fat tissue were injected into the midportion of a surgically created rabbit ear auricle cartilage defect. After several months, the auricles were resected, histopathologically assessed and compared with a control group.Results:Histopathological examination of auricles removed three, four and five months after injection showed islands of new cartilage formation at the site of the surgically induced defect. Six months after injection, we observed well-formed, mature cartilaginous plates that completely filled the defect in the native cartilage. In the control group, there was no significant growth of new cartilage.Conclusion:The results of this study suggest the great potential of adipose-derived stem cells to repair damaged cartilage tissue in vivo.

Abstract
The goal of this study was to develop a method for increasing the yield of multipotent adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs) and osteoprogenitor cells (OPCs) from subcutaneous fat. After removing mature adipocytes and haematopoietic cells from rat inguinal fat, ASCs in the remaining cell population were verified by their attachment to plastic, surface marker profile (CD271(+), CD73(+) and CD45(-)) and ability to differentiate into adipocytes, chondrocytes and osteoblasts. OPCs were defined as E11(+) and OCN(+). Adherent cells were cultured in growth medium (GM) or osteogenic medium (OM) and treated with resveratrol (0, 12.5, and 25 µM) for 7 days; ASCs and OPCs were assessed by flow cytometry. Osteogenic potential was determined in two-dimensional (2D) cultures as a function of alkaline phosphatase-specific activity and osteocalcin production. In addition, cells were seeded onto three-dimensional (3D) poly-ε-caprolactone scaffolds and cultured under dynamic conditions; mineralization was quantified by micro-CT at 4, 8 and 12 weeks. Resveratrol increased the percentage of ASCs in the population (population%) and number of ASCs in both GM and OM, but increased only the number of OPCs in GM. In both media types resveratrol increased alkaline phosphatase activity and osteocalcin levels. In 3D cultures, resveratrol-treated cells significantly increased mineralized matrix volume at early time points. Resveratrol exerted a biphasic effect on adherent cells by enriching the ASC and OPC populations and enhancing osteogenic differentiation. Resveratrol pretreatment induced more mineralization at earlier time points and represents a clinically viable technique for orthopaedic and dental applications for autologous stem cell therapy.

The efficiency of in vitro isolation and myogenic differentiation of MSCs derived from adipose connective tissue, bone marrow, and skeletal muscle tissue. In Vitro Cell Dev Biol Anim 2012; 48:203-15.

Abstract
The objective of the study is to evaluate efficiency of in vitro isolation and myogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from adipose connective tissue (AD-MSCs), bone marrow (BM-MSCs), and skeletal muscle tissue (MC-MSCs). MSCs were isolated from adipose connective tissue, bone marrow, and skeletal muscle tissue of two adult 6-wk-old rats. Cultured MSCs were treated with 5-azacytidine (AZA) to induce myogenic differentiation. Isolated MSCs and differentiated cells were evaluated by immunocytochemistry (ICC), fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS), PCR, and RT-PCR. AD-MSCs showed the highest proliferation rate while BM-MSCs had the lowest one. In ICC, isolated MSCs had strong CD90- and CD44-positive expression and negative expression of CD45, CD31, and CD34, while AZA-treated MSCs had strong positive desmin expression. In FACS analysis, AD-MSCs had the highest percentage of CD90- and CD44-positive-expressing cells (99% and 96%) followed by BM-MSCs (97% and 94%) and MC-MSCs (92% and 91%).At 1 wk after incubation with AZA treatment, the peak of myogenin expression reached 93% in differentiated MC-MSCs, 83.3% in BM-MSCs, and 77% in AD-MSCs. MSCs isolated from adipose connective tissue, bone marrow, and skeletal muscle tissue have the same morphology and phenotype, but AD-MSCs were the most easily accessible and had the highest rate of growth on cultivation and the highest percentage of stem cell marker expression. Moreover, although MC-MSCs showed the highest rate of myogenic differentiation potential and expression of myoblast markers, AD-MSCs and BM-MSCs still can be valuable alternatives. The differentiated myoblastic cells could be an available new choice for myoblastic auto-transplantation in regeneration medicine.

Abstract
While small bone defects heal spontaneously, large bone defects need surgical intervention for bone transplantation. Autologous bone grafts are the best and safest strategy for bone repair. An alternative method is to use allogenic bone graft. Both methods have limitations, particularly when bone defects are of a critical size. In these cases, bone constructs created by tissue engineering technologies are of utmost importance. Cells are one main component in the manufacture of bone construct. A few cell types, including embryonic stem cells (ESCs), adult osteoblast, and adult stem cells, can be used for this purpose. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), as adult stem cells, possess characteristics that make them good candidate for bone repair. This paper discusses different aspects of MSCs that render them an appropriate cell type for clinical use to promote bone regeneration.

Abstract
Existing evidence suggests that brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) promotes survival and proliferation of endothelial cells, stimulates mobilization of hematopoietic progenitors, and induces angiogenesis in ischemic tissues. However, the mechanisms underlying vascular protective function of BDNF are poorly understood. We hypothesized that BDNF increases antioxidant capacity of circulating angiogenic cells. Human mononuclear cells were isolated from peripheral blood of 30 healthy male volunteers (48±2 years old), and cultured in endothelial growth medium-2 for 4-5 days. The attached cells (so called early endothelial progenitor cells [early EPCs], or circulating angiogenic cells) expressed BDNF receptors, tropomyosin-related kinase B and p75 neurotrophin receptor. Treatment of early EPCs with recombinant human BDNF for 24 h significantly increased manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) expression, but had no effect on expression of other antioxidant enzymes including copper zinc SOD (CuZnSOD), catalase, and glutathione peroxidase-1. BDNF stimulated phosphorylation of IκB kinase (IKK)α/β and stress-activated protein kinase/c-Jun N-terminal kinase (SAPK/JNK); however it did not activate p38, Erk, or AKT. Treatment with nuclear factor κB inhibitor, PDTC, or JNK inhibitor, SP600125, attenuated BDNF-augmented MnSOD protein expression. BDNF treatment inhibited apoptosis induced by a superoxide anion generator LY83583, and serum starvation-induced cell detachment. These findings suggest that BDNF protects EPCs by increasing expression of MnSOD thereby enhancing their antioxidant capacity.

Abstract
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) within squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) are hypothesized to contribute to chemotherapy and radiation resistance and represent potentially useful pharmacologic targets. Hallmarks of the stem cell phenotype that may contribute to therapy resistance of CSCs include quiescence, evasion of apoptosis, resistance to DNA damage, and expression of drug transporter pumps. A variety of CSC populations within SCCs of the head and neck and esophagus have been defined tentatively, based on diverse surface markers and functional assays. Stem-like self-renewal and differentiation capacities of these SCC subpopulations are supported by sphere formation and clonogenicity assays in vitro as well as limiting dilution studies in xenograft models. Early evidence supports a role for SCC CSCs in intrinsic therapy resistance, while detailed mechanisms by which these subpopulations evade treatment remain to be defined. Development of novel SCC therapies will be aided by pursuing such mechanisms as well as refining current definitions for CSCs and clarifying their relevance to hierarchical versus dynamic models of stemness.

Abstract
Impairment of adipogenesis contributes to the development of obesity-related insulin resistance. The current in vitro approaches for its assessment represent crude estimates of the adipogenic potential because of the disruption of the in vivo microenvironment. A novel assessment of in vivo adipogenesis using the incorporation of the stable isotope deuterium ((2)H) into the DNA of isolated adipocytes and stroma-vascular fraction from adipose tissue has been developed. In the current study, we have refined this technique by purifying the adipocytes via a negative immune selection and sorting the plastic adherent stroma-vascular (aSV) subfraction (using 3 h culture) that contains mostly adipocyte progenitor cells and ∼10% of small adipocytes. Using a 3-week 8% (2)H(2)O ingestion with a high-fat diet (HFD) or HFD plus pioglitazone (HFD-P), we demonstrate that the fractions of new aSV cells (f(aSV)) and immunopurified adipocytes (f(AD)) (the ratio of their (2)H-enrichment of DNA to the maximal (2)H-enrichment of DNA of bone marrow reference cells) recapitulate the known hyperplastic mechanism of weight gain with pioglitazone treatment. We conclude that f(aSV) and f(AD) are reliable indices of in vivo adipogenesis. The proposed method represents a valuable tool for studying the effect of interventions (drugs, diets, and exercise) on in vivo adipogenesis.

Use of adipose-derived stem cells to fabricate scaffoldless tissue-engineered neural conduits in vitro. Neuroscience 2011; 201:349-56.

Abstract
Peripheral nerve injuries resulting from trauma or disease often necessitate surgical intervention. Although the gold standard for such repairs uses nerve autografts, alternatives that do not require invasive harvesting of autologous nerve tissues are currently being designed and evaluated. We previously established the use of scaffoldless engineered neural conduits (ENCs) fabricated from primary cells as one such alternative in sciatic nerve repair in rats [Baltich et al. (2010) In Vitro Cell Dev Biol Anim 46(5):438-444]. The present study establishes protocols for fabricating neural conduits from adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) differentiated to either a fibroblast or neural lineage and co-cultured into a three-dimensional (3-D) scaffoldless tissue-ENC. Addition of ascorbic acid-2-phosphate and fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-2 to the medium induced and differentiated ASCs to a fibroblast lineage in more than 90% of the cell population, as confirmed by collagen I expression. ASC-differentiated fibroblasts formed monolayers, delaminated, and formed 3-D conduits. Neurospheres were formed by culturing ASCs on non-adherent surfaces in serum-free neurobasal medium with the addition of epidermal growth factor (EGF) and FGF-2. The addition of 10 ng EGF and 10 ng FGF-2 produced larger and more numerous neurospheres than treatments of lower EGF and FGF-2 concentrations. Subsequent differentiation to glial-like cells was confirmed by the expression of S100. ASC-derived fibroblast monolayers and neurospheres were co-cultured to fabricate a 3-D scaffoldless tissue-ENC. Their nerve-like structure and incorporation of glial-like cells, which would associate with regenerating axons, may make these novel, stem cell-derived neural conduits an efficacious technology for repairing critical gaps following peripheral nerve injury.

Abstract
Adult stem cells are of particular interest for therapeutic use in the field of regenerative medicine. Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs) are an attractive stem cell source for all fields of regenerative medicine because adipose tissue - and therewith cells - can easily be harvested from each donor. However, common expansion using fetal bovine serum (FBS) can not be used for clinical applications as xenogenic proteins must be avoided. Adipose tissue from equine, canine and porcine donors was digested with collagenase to isolate ASCs. ASCs were either expanded in a cell culture medium supplemented with FBS or in a serum-free medium (UltraCulture; UC) supplemented with a serum substitute (UltroserG). From all three animal species, the adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation potential of ASCs cultured with different media was analyzed in vitro. Cell proliferation analysis showed a population doubling time of 48-68 h for canine cells, 54-65 h for porcine cells and 54-70 h for equine cells, expanded in different media. Except for porcine ASCs, cells cultured in media supplemented with FBS grew faster than cells expanded in UC medium with UltroserG. Yet, all cells maintained their potential to differentiate into adipocytes and osteoblasts. UltraCulture medium containing UltroserG can for all examined species be recommended if FBS needs to be avoided in the expansion of donor-derived (stem) cells.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare murine mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) isolated from bone marrow (BM) and adipose tissue (AT) for the selection of suitable MSCs in cell therapy of an airway allergic animal model. We compared MSCs of BALB/c mice derived from BM and AT with respect to proliferation potential, immunophenotype, and multilineage differentiation capacity. In proliferation potential, MSCs from AT (ASCs) showed higher fibroblastoid colony-forming units frequencies and colony-forming efficiency than MSCs from BM (BMSCs). The flow cytometry analysis showed that both ASCs and BMSCs expressed MSCs-related antigens (CD90 and CD105), whereas they did not express hematopoiesis-related antigens (CD45 and CD11b). There was no significant difference in adipogenic, osteogenic, and chondrogenic differentiation between the murine ASCs and BMSCs. In conclusion, the present study has shown that ASCs had higher CFU-F frequencies and colony-forming efficiency than BMSCs. ASCs and BMSCs presented a similar surface immunophenotype and multilineage differentiation capacity. Therefore, ASCs in BALB/c mice might be a more useful material for cell therapy of the airway allergic experiment due to the abundance, relatively easy harvesting and high proliferation potential.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have potential applications in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering and may represent an attractive option for tendon repair and regeneration. Thus far the ability of MSCs to differentiate into tenocytes in vitro has not been investigated. Experiments were performed with and without growth factors (IGF-1, TGF-β1, IGF-1/TGF-β1, PDGF-BB, and BMP-12), in co-cultures of tenocytes and MSCs mixed in different ratios and by culturing MSCs with spent media obtained from primary tenocytes. Tenogenesis was induced in MSCs through a combination of treatment with IGF-1 and TGF-β1, in high-density co-cultures and through cultivation with the spent media from primary tenocytes. Electron microscopy and immunoblotting were used to demonstrate up-regulation of collagen I/III, decorin, tenomodulin, β1-Integrin, MAPKinase pathway (Shc, Erk1/2), and scleraxis in the co-cultures and provide simultaneous evidence for the inhibition of apoptosis. In monolayer co-cultures extensive intercellular contacts between MSCs and tenocytes were observed. Cells actively exchanged vesicles, which were labeled by using immunofluorescence and immunogold techniques, suggesting the uptake and interchange of soluble factors produced by the MSCs and/or tenocytes. We conclude that MSCs possess tenogenic differentiation potential when provided with relevant stimuli and a suitable microenvironment. This approach may prove to be of practical benefit in future tissue engineering and tendon regenerative medicine research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS The adipose tissue represents an accessible, abundant, and replenishable source of adult stem cells for potential applications in regenerative medicine. Adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AT-MSCs) resemble bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) with respect to morphology, immune-phenotype, and multiple differentiation capability. In the present study, we investigated the feasibility of AT-MSC-based liver gene delivery for the treatment of alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency. METHODS Mouse AT-MSCs were transduced by rAAV vectors and transplanted into the mouse liver. RESULTS We showed that AT-MSCs can be transduced by recombinant adeno-associated viral vector serotype 1 (rAAV1-CB-hAAT). After transplanting to the mouse liver, ex vivo transduced AT-MSCs expressed the transgene product, human alpha 1-antitrypsin (hAAT). Importantly, serum levels of hAAT were sustained and no anti-hAAT antibody was detected in any recipients. CONCLUSIONS These results demonstrated that AT-MSCs can be transduced by rAAV vectors, engrafted into recipient livers, contribute to liver regeneration, and serve as a platform for transgene expression without eliciting an immune response. AT-MSC-based gene therapy presents a novel approach for the treatment of liver diseases, such as AAT deficiency.

Abstract
We describe a novel role for CD271 in the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), including deciduous dental pulp stem cells (DDPSCs) and murine multipotent MSCs (C3H10T1/2 cells). The CD271(+) subpopulation of deciduous dental pulp cells (CD271(+)/DDPSCs) and the forced expression of CD271 in C3H10T1/2 (10T271) were analyzed by fluorescence-activated cell sorting. CD271 expression was detected in DDPSCs that expressed both CD44 and CD90, simultaneously, and the clonogenic capacity of the CD271(+)/DDPSCs was higher than that of the CD271(-)/DDPSCs that expressed both CD44 and CD90. Further, the differentiation of CD271(+)/DDPSCs into osteoblasts and adipocytes was inhibited although CD271(-)/DDPSCs were capable of differentiating into osteoblasts and adipocytes. CD271 was overexpressed in C3H10T1/2 cells, which have the potential to differentiate into osteoblasts, adipocytes, chondrocytes, and myocytes. CD271 inhibited the differentiation of C3H10T1/2 cells into any of these lineages. These results indicate a role for CD271 in inhibiting the differentiation of MSCs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aims of this study were: (1) to show the feasibility of using adipose-derived stromal vascular fraction (SVF) as an alternative to bone marrow mono nuclear cell (BM-MNC) for cell transplantation into chronic ischemic myocardium; and (2) to explore underlying mechanisms with focus on anti-inflammation role of engrafted SVF and BM-MNC post chronic myocardial infarction (MI) against left ventricular (LV) remodelling and cardiac dysfunction. METHODS Four weeks after left anterior descending coronary artery ligation, 32 Male Lewis rats with moderate MI were divided into 3 groups. SVF group (n = 12) had SVF cell transplantation (6 × 10(6) cells). BM-MNC group (n = 12) received BM-MNCs (6 × 10(6)) and the control (n = 10) had culture medium. At 4 weeks, after the final echocardiography, histological sections were stained with Styrus red and immunohistochemical staining was performed for α-smooth muscle actin, von Willebrand factor, CD3, CD8 and CD20. RESULTS At 4 weeks, in SVF and BM-MNC groups, LV diastolic dimension and LV systolic dimension were smaller and fractional shortening was increased in echocardiography, compared to control group. Histology revealed highest vascular density, CD3+ and CD20+ cells in SVF transplanted group. SVF transplantation decreased myocardial mRNA expression of inflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-6, MMP-1, TIMP-1 and inhibited collagen deposition. CONCLUSIONS Transplantation of adipose derived SVF cells might be a useful therapeutic option for angiogenesis in chronic ischemic heart disease. Anti-inflammation role for SVF and BM transplantation might partly benefit for the cardioprotective effect for chronic ischemic myocardium.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In recent years, it has been reported that stem cells exist in the mesenchymal tissues of the bone marrow and adipose. These stem cells are thought to express specific cell surface markers such as CD44, CD54, CD105, CD90, and CD271 and have been confirmed to be pluripotent. Furthermore, although it has been reported that stem cells are also present in the dermis, their cell surface markers and characteristics are not fully understood. OBJECTIVE To confirm the presence of stem cells in the dermis and their ability, employing the mesenchymal stem cell markers which have previously been reported as an indication. METHODS We analyzed the percentages of CD44 (+), CD54 (+), CD90 (+), CD105 (+), and CD271 (+) cells in the dermis of neonatal mice (HR-1 mouse) by performing immunostaining and FACS. Secondly, we isolated each type of marker-positive and -negative cells from dermal tissues and evaluated their proliferation potential and their ability to differentiate into adipocytes, osteoblasts, and chondrocytes. RESULTS According to the immunostaining and FACS results, we confirmed that stem cells that express CD44, CD54, CD90, CD105, and CD271 are present in the dermal tissues of neonatal mice. In addition, when we measured the proliferation and differentiation potentials of each type of marker-positive cells, it was revealed that cells expressing CD54 or CD271 have a high proliferation potential and are able to differentiate into adipocytes, osteoblasts, and chondrocytes. CONCLUSIONS These results indicated that dermal tissues contain stem cells that express CD44, CD54, CD90, CD105, and CD271 which are stem cell markers. More precisely, it was suggested that both CD54 (+) and CD271 (+) stem cells have high proliferation and differentiation potentials.

Abstract
Bone marrow has been the elected cell source of studies published so far concerning bone and cartilage tissue-engineering approaches. Recent studies indicate that adipose tissue presents significant advantages over bone marrow as a cell source for tissue engineering. Most of these studies report the use of adipose stem cells (ASCs) isolated by a method based on the enzymatic digestion of the adipose tissue and on the ability of stem cells to adhere to a cell culture plastic surface. Using this method, a heterogeneous population was obtained containing different cell types that have been shown to compromise the proliferation and differentiation potential of the stem cells. This paper reports the development and optimization of a new isolation method that enables purified cell populations to be obtained that exhibit higher osteogenic differentiation and/or proliferation potential. This method is based on the use of immunomagnetic beads coated with specific antibodies and it is compared with other methods described in the literature for the selection of stem cell populations, e.g. methods based on a gradient solution and enzymatic digestion. The results showed that the isolation method based on immunomagnetic beads allows distinct subpopulations of rat ASCs to be isolated, showing different stem cells marker expressions and different osteogenic differentiation potentials. Therefore, this method can be used to study niches in ASC populations and/or also allow adipose tissue to be used as a stem cell source in a more efficient manner, increasing the potential of this cell source in future clinical applications.

Abstract
Objectives: Beside having roles in energy homeostasis and endocrine modulation, adipose tissue (AT) is now considered a promising source of mesenchymal stromal cells (adipose-derived stromal cells or ASCs) for regenerative medicine. Despite numerous studies on cultured ASCs, native human ASCs are rarely investigated. Indeed, the phenotype of ASCs in their native state, their localization within AT and comparison with bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (BM-MSCs) has been poorly investigated. Design: To address these issues, the stroma vascular fraction (SVF) of human AT was extracted and native cell subtypes were isolated by immunoselection to study their clonogenic potential in culture. Immunohistology on samples of human AT in combination with reconstruction of confocal sections were performed in order to localize ASCs. Results: Compared with BM-MNCs, all native ASCs were found in the CD34+ cell fraction of the AT-SVF. Native ASCs expressed classical mesenchymal markers described for BM-MSCs. Interestingly, CD34 expression decreased during ASC cell culture and was negatively correlated with cell proliferation rate. Immunohistological analysis revealed that native ASCs exhibited specific morphological features with protrusions. They were found scattered in AT stroma and did not express in vivo pericytic markers such as NG2, CD140b or alpha-smooth muscle actin, which appeared during the culture process. Finally, ASCs spontaneous commitment to adipocytic lineage was enhanced in AT from obese humans. Conclusions: The use of complementary methodological approaches to study native human ASCs revealed their immunophenotype, their specific morphology, their location within AT and their stemness. Furthermore, our data strongly suggest that human ASCs participate in adipogenesis during AT development.

Abstract
Background Mesenchymal stem cells derived from adipose tissue (ADSC) are multipotent stem cells, originated from the vascular-stromal compartment of fat tissue. ADSC are used as an alternative cell source for many different cell therapies, however in ischemic cardiovascular diseases the therapeutic benefit was modest. One of the reasons could be the use of autologous aged ADSC, which recently were found to have impaired functions. We therefore analysed the effects of age on age markers and angiogenic properties of ADSC. Hypoxic conditioning was investigated as a form of angiogenic stimulation. Methods ADSC were harvested from young (1-3 month), adult (12 month) and aged (18-24 month) mice and cultured under normoxic (20%) and hypoxic (1%) conditions for 48 h. Differences in proliferation, apoptosis and telomere length were assessed in addition to angiogenic properties of ADSC. Results Proliferation potential and telomere length were decreased in aged ADSC compared to young ADSC. Frequency of apoptotic cells was higher in aged ADSC. Gene expression of pro-angiogenic factors including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), placental growth factor (PlGF) and hepatic growth factor (HGF) were down-regulated with age, which could be restored by hypoxia. Transforming growth factor (TGF-β) increased in the old ADSC but was reduced by hypoxia. Expression of anti-angiogenic factors including thrombospondin-1 (TBS1) and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) did increase in old ADSC, but could be reduced by hypoxic stimulation. Endostatin (ENDS) was the highest in aged ADSC and was also down-regulated by hypoxia. We noted higher gene expression of proteases system factors like urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR), matrix metalloproteinases (MMP2 and MMP9) and PAI-1 in aged ADSC compared to young ADSC, but they decreased in old ADSC. Tube formation on matrigel was higher in the presence of conditioned medium from young ADSC in comparison to aged ADSC. Conclusions ADSC isolated from older animals show changes, including impaired proliferation and angiogenic stimulation. Angiogenic gene expression can be partially be improved by hypoxic preconditioning, however the effect is age-dependent. This supports the hypothesis that autologous ADSC from aged subjects might have an impaired therapeutic potential.

Abstract
Human dermal fibroblasts (FBs) express mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-specific cell surface markers and differentiate into several cell types under appropriate conditions. Molecular mechanisms controlling the early stages of differentiation of dermal FBs and MSCs isolated from different sources have not been well studied. Here, we have analyzed the cell type-specific changes of adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AdMSCs) and dermal FBs in the process of differentiation into adipocytes and osteoblasts. Analysis of gene expression in the course of adipogenic differentiation of AdMSCs and FBs isolated from the same individuals revealed a time lag in the induction of adipogenesis-related genes in FBs compared with AdMSCs, a phenomenon not previously described. Further, preliminary evidence suggests that delayed adipogenesis of FBs is related to the delayed induction of preadipocyte transcription factor ZNF423 in FBs. These findings clearly show that AdMSCs and FBs have similar developmental potential but different molecular control mechanisms of initial stages of adipogenic differentiation.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE OF THE FIELD Several lines of evidence suggest that VEGF is a key regulator of the paracrine effects of adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs), but the mechanism of action remains to be identified. AREAS COVERED IN THIS REVIEW This brief review discusses the following research questions: i) Does VEGF increase the proliferation/migration and differentiation of ASCs?; ii) Does VEGF mediate the paracrine effects of ASCs?; and iii) How is VEGF synthesized, and which factors regulate VEGF secretion? WHAT THE READER WILL GAIN External stimuli such as hypoxia may activate receptor tyrosine kinases in the membrane of ASCs, which, in turn, phosphorylate extracellular signal regulated kinase (ERK) and members of the Akt signaling pathway, stabilizing hypoxia inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) that are primary regulators of VEGF expression. Secreted VEGF directly stimulates ASCs via VEGF receptors in an autocrine manner and regenerates damaged neighboring cells in a paracrine manner. TAKE HOME MESSAGE Most studies of stem cell regeneration have focused on differentiation of ASCs and their building block function; however, the paracrine effects of ASCs should also be the focus of attention.

Abstract
Stem cells hold great promise in tissue engineering for repairing tissues damaged by disease or injury. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent cells able to proliferate and differentiate into multiple mesodermal tissues such as bone, cartilage, muscle, tendon, and fat. We have previously reported that the low-affinity nerve growth factor receptor (L-NGFR or CD271) defines a subset of cells with high proliferative, clonogenic, and multipotential differentiation ability in adult bone marrow (BM). It has been recently shown that adipose tissue is an alternative source of adult multipotent stem cells and human adipose-derived stem cells, selected by plastic adherence (PA hASCs), have been extensively characterized for their functional potentials in vitro. In this study, immunoselected L-NGFR(+) and CD34(+) subpopulations have been analyzed and compared with the PA hASCs. Phenotypic profile of freshly purified subpopulations showed an enrichment in the expression of some stem cell markers; indeed, a great percentage of L-NGFR(+) cells co-expressed CD34 and CD117 antigens, whereas the endothelial-committed progenitor markers KDR and P1H12 were mainly expressed on CD34(+) cells. Differently from PA hASCs, the immunoseparated fractions showed high increments in cell proliferation, and the fibroblast colony-forming activity (CFU-F) was maintained throughout the time of culture. Furthermore, the immunoselected populations showed a greater differentiative potential toward adipocytes, osteoblasts, and chondrocyte-like cells, compared to PA hASCs. Our data suggest that both CD34(+) and L-NGFR(+) hASCs can be considered alternative candidates for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications.

Abstract
The adipose tissue was considered a reserve of energy until the '80s, when it was found that this tissue was involved in the metabolism of sex steroids such as estrogens. From then on, the importance attributed to this tissue radically changed as it was then considered an active organ, involved in important functions of the human body. In 2001, for the first time, the existence of stem cells within this tissue was reported, and since then, this tissue has been gaining an increased importance as a stem cell source for a wide range of potential applications in cell therapies and/or tissue engineering and regenerative medicine strategies, mainly due to its wide availability and easy access. This manuscript provides an overview on adipose stem cells (i.e., adipose tissue-derived stem cells, ASCs) considering the tissue of origin, the niche of the ASCs, and their phenotype in all aspects. In this paper it is also discussed the markers that have been used for the characterization of these cells, their differentiation properties, and their immunological reactivity, reporting studies from 2001 until this date. The ASCs are also compared with bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs), until now considered as the gold standard source of stem cells, underlining the common characteristics and the differences between the stem cells obtained from these two sources, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of their potential use in different applications. Finally, this review will also focus on the potential application of ASCs in tissue engineering applications, particularly in the regeneration of bone and cartilage, commenting on the progress of this approach and future trends of the field.

Abstract
We described the possibility of retinal regeneration using a novel and efficient technique for culturing and separating retinal stem/progenitor cells from iris tissue. Immunohistochemical staining of adult agouti mouse iris tissue revealed the presence of nestin/low-affinity neurotrophin receptor p75 (p75(NTR))-positive cells on the endothelium camerae anterioris side. Cultured mouse iris-derived cells contained little or no melanin and were found to be positive for nestin. Most nestin-positive cells were analyzed for the coexpression of p75(NTR) as a cell membrane protein. When the p75(NTR) was used as a marker to sort the cells, we obtained a dense population of nestin-positive cells. Furthermore, the nestin/p75(NTR)-positive cells were able to differentiate into neural retina cells. Thus, this culture and separation technique is useful for obtaining retinal stem/progenitor cells from adult mouse iris tissue and for the efficient production of neural retina cells.

Abstract
The increase of pro-inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress leads to beta-cell damage and promotes beta-cells apoptosis, in types I and II of diabetes mellitus. Therefore, blocking of pro-inflammatory cytokines should be an effective way for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. When IL-1 occupies its receptor, various pro-inflammatory events are initiated including the synthesis and releases of chemokines and these chemokines attract neutrophils, macrophages, and lymphocytes that cause tissue inflammation. IL-1Ra is a naturally occurring cytokine and is the inhibitor of IL-1. When IL-1Ra binds to the IL-1 receptor, binding of IL-1 is blocked by IL-1Ra and pro-inflammatory signal from IL-1 receptor is stopped. There are mounting evidences to suggest that anti-inflammatory IL-1Ra reduces the inflammatory effects of IL-1 and preserves cell function in both types of diabetes. Therefore, IL-1Ra maybe a new therapeutic agent for diabetes mellitus types I and II. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are self-renewable multipotent stromal cells that have immunomodulatory capacity. Recently, well characterized subpopulations of MSCs which express IL-1Ra have been described. IL-1Ra expressed by these MSCs effectively binds to IL-1 receptor and protects tissues from inflammation-induced injuries. It has been previously shown that bone marrow-derived MSC therapy could be considered for the treatment of diabetes mellitus type 1 and complications of diabetes mellitus. This review presents understanding of potential use of IL-1Ra and MSCs as modulators of diabetogenesis.

Abstract
Adult stem cells are nowadays used for treating several pathologies. A putative stem cell population was found in the adipose tissue of mammals and canine adipose tissue-derived-mesenchymal stem cells (cA-MSC) have been shown to possess the capacity to differentiate into several lineages. The main goal of our research was to fully characterize cA-MSC and examine the effects of cryopreservation on their stemness features. Each sample of cA-MSC was analyzed immediately and then again after being frozen in liquid nitrogen for one year. After the cryopreservation period cells conserved their fibroblast-like morphology, alkaline phosphatase positivity and CD expression but showed a lower proliferation ratio and a lower telomerase activity in comparison with fresh cells. Finally, the cryopreservation protocol did not change the cA-MSC adipogenic, osteogenic and myogenic differentiative potential. Our data demonstrate that stored cA-MSC might represent a promising type of progenitor cell for autologous cellular-based therapies in veterinary medicine.
