Abstract
Stem cell therapy is a promising treatment in regenerative medicine. Human adipose-derived stem/stromal cells (hASCs), a type of mesenchymal stem cell, are easy to harvest. In plastic and aesthetic surgery, hASC may be applied in the treatment of fat grafting, wound healing, and scar remodeling. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) contains various growth factors, including platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), which accelerates wound healing. We previously reported that PRP promotes the proliferation of hASC via multiple signaling pathways, and we evaluated the effect of PRP on the stimulation of hASC adhesion and migration, leading to the proliferation of these cells. When hASCs were treated with PRP, AKT, ERK1/2, paxillin and RhoA were rapidly activated. PRP treatment led to the formation of F-actin stress fibers. Strong signals for integrin β1, paxillin and RhoA at the cell periphery of RPR-treated cells indicated focal adhesion. PRP promoted cell adhesion and movement of hASC, compared with the control group. Imatinib, an inhibitor of the PDGF receptor tyrosine kinase, inhibited the promotion of PRP-dependent cell migration. PDGF treatment of hASCs also stimulated cell adhesion and migration but to a lesser extent than PRP treatment. PRP promoted the adhesion and the migration of hASC, mediated by the activation of AKT in the integrin signaling pathway. PRP treatment was more effective than PDGF treatment in enhancing cell migration. Thus, the ability of PRPs to promote migration of hASC to enhance cell growth is evident.

Growth factors-based beneficial effects of platelet lysate on umbilical cord-derived stem cells and their synergistic use in osteoarthritis treatment. Cell Death Dis 2020; 11:857. [PMID: 33057008 PMCID: PMC7560841 DOI: 10.1038/s41419-020-03045-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2020] [Revised: 09/23/2020] [Accepted: 09/24/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Poor viability of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) at the transplanted site often hinders the efficacy of MSCs-based therapy. Platelet lysate (PL) contains rich amounts of growth factors, which benefits cell growth. This study aimed to explore how human PL benefits umbilical cord-derived MSCs (huc-MSCs), and whether they have synergistic potential in osteoarthritis (OA) treatment. As quality control, flow cytometry and specific staining were performed to identify huc-MSCs, and ELISA was used to quantify growth factors in PL. CCK-8 and flow cytometry assays were performed to evaluate the effects of PL on the cell viability and cell cycle progression of huc-MSCs. Wound healing and transwell assays were conducted to assess the migration of huc-MSCs. RNA sequencing, real time PCR, and Western blot assays were conducted to explore the growth factors-based mechanism of PL. The in vitro results showed that PL significantly promoted the proliferation, cell cycle, and migration of huc-MSCs by upregulating relevant genes/proteins and activating beclin1-dependent autophagy via the AMPK/mTOR signaling pathway. The main growth factors (PDGF-AA, IGF-1, TGF-β, EGF, and FGF) contributed to the effects of PL in varying degrees. The in vivo data showed that combined PL and huc-MSCs exerted significant synergistic effect against OA. The overall study determined the beneficial effects and mechanism of PL on huc-MSCs and indicated PL as an adjuvant for huc-MSCs in treating OA. This is the first report on the growth factors-based mechanism of PL on huc-MSCs and their synergistic application. It provides novel knowledge of PLʹs roles and offers a promising strategy for stem cell-based OA therapy by combining PL and huc-MSCs.

Abstract
There is growing interest in the regenerative potential of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) for wound healing applications. ADSCs have been shown to promote revascularization, activate local stem cell niches, reduce oxidative stress, and modulate immune responses. Combined with the fact that they can be harvested in large numbers with minimal donor site morbidity, ADSC products represent promising regenerative cell therapies. This article provides a detailed description of the defining characteristics and therapeutic potential of ADSCs, with a focus on understanding how ADSCs promote tissue regeneration and repair. It summarizes the current regulatory environment governing the use of ADSC products across Europe and the United States and examines how various adipose-derived products conform to the current UK legislative framework. Advice is given to clinicians and researchers on how novel ADSC therapeutics may be developed in accordance with regulatory guidelines.

Abstract
Background A randomized controlled trial (RCT) was performed to confirm preliminary uncontrolled data indicating that regional adipose tissue (AT) grafting (G) is effective in inducing ischemic digital ulcer (IDU) healing in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). Patients and methods SSc patients with IDUs were randomized to be blindly treated with AT-G or a sham procedure (SP). AT-G consisted of injection, at the base of the finger with the IDU, of 0.5–1 ml AT after centrifugation of fat aspirate. The SP consisted of false liposuction and local injection of saline solution. The primary endpoint was to compare the cumulative prevalence of healed IDUs in the two groups within the following 8 weeks. Results AT-G and the SP were carried out in 25 and 13 patients, respectively. The two groups were comparable for age, gender, disease duration, and SSc subtypes. IDU healing was observed in 23/25 and 1/13 patients treated with AT-G and the SP, respectively (p < 0.0001). The 12 patients who received the unsuccessful SP underwent a rescue AT-G. In all of them, IDU healing was observed after 8 weeks of observation. It was noticeable that in the AT-G-treated patients a significant reduction of pain intensity (measured by visual analogue scale) was recorded after 4 and 8 weeks (p < 0.0001 in all cases). Similarly, a significant increase of capillary numbers in the affected finger was recorded by nailfold videocapillaroscopy after 4 and 8 weeks (p < 0.0001 in both cases). Conclusion This RCT strongly confirms that AT-G is effective in inducing IDU healing in SSc patients. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03406988. Registered retrospectively on 25 January 2018.

Abstract
The proliferation and migration of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are the efficiency determinants in MSCs transplant therapy. Sertoli cells considered as "nurse cell" possesses the ability to enhance the proliferation and migration of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UCMSCs). However, no reports about TM4 cells' effect on the proliferation and migration of adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) have been found until at present research work. Therefore, this study investigates the effect of TM4 cells on the proliferation and migration of ADSCs. We found that the performance of proliferation and migration of ADSCs were improved significantly while maintaining their stemness and reducing their apoptosis rate. After co-culturing with TM4 cells, the co-cultured ADSCs demonstrated higher proportion of synthetic phase (S) cells and colony-forming units-fibroblastic (CFU-F) number, lower proportion of sub-G1 phase cells and enhanced osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation ability. Moreover, results confirmed the higher multiple proteins involved in cell proliferation and migration including expression of the phospho-Akt, mdm2, pho-CDC2, cyclin D1 CXCR4, MMP-2, as well as phospho-p44 MAPK and phospho-p38 MAPK in co-cultured ADSCs. Furthermore, the process of TM4 cells promoting the proliferation of ADSCs was significantly inhibited by the administration of the PI3K/AKT inhibitor LY294002. Obtained results indicated that TM4 cells through MAPK/ERK1/2, MAPK/p-38 and PI3K/Akt pathways influence the proliferation and migration of ADSCs. These findings indicated that TM4 cells were found effective in promoting stemness and migration of ADSCs, that proves adopted co-culturing technique as an efficient approach to obtain ADSCs in transplantation therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cytokeratin 19 (CK19) is a typical epithelial marker. In this study, we determined whether epidermal growth factor (EGF) or basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) could enhance CK19 expression in adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs), thereby inducing the differentiation of ADSCs into epithelial-like cells. MATERIAL AND METHODS ADSCs were isolated from perinephric fat, and the expression of CD29, CD90, and CD105 was confirmed. Following isolation, ADSCs were cultured in static medium or medium containing EGF or bFGF. RESULTS Flow cytometry revealed that EGF and bFGF could alter mesenchymal stem cell markers as well as the cell cycle of ADSCs. Western blotting and immunofluorescence revealed that after 14 days, EGF treatment enhanced the expression of CK19 in ADSCs. CONCLUSIONS Our findings offer important insight for the clinical use of ADSCs in the generation of epithelial-like cells in the future.

Abstract
Stem cell-based therapies require cells with a maximum regenerative capacity in order to support regeneration after tissue injury and organ failure. Optimization of this regenerative potential of mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSC) or their conditioned medium by in vitro preconditioning regimens are considered to be a promising strategy to improve the release of regenerative factors. In the present study, MSC were isolated from inguinal adipose tissue (mASC) from C57BL/6 mice, cultured, and characterized. Then, mASC were either preconditioned by incubation in a hypoxic environment (0.5% O₂), or in normoxia in the presence of murine epidermal growth factor (EGF) or tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) for 48 h. Protein expression was measured by a commercially available array. Selected factors were verified by PCR analysis. The expression of 83 out of 308 proteins (26.9%) assayed was found to be increased after preconditioning with TNFα, whereas the expression of 61 (19.8%) and 70 (22.7%) proteins was increased after incubation with EGF or in hypoxia, respectively. Furthermore, we showed the proliferation-promoting effects of the preconditioned culture supernatants on injured epithelial cells in vitro. Our findings indicate that each preconditioning regimen tested induced an individual expression profile with a wide variety of factors, including several growth factors and cytokines, and therefore may enhance the regenerative potential of mASC for cell-based therapies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an autologous blood product that contains a high concentration of several growth factors. Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB is a potential mitogen for human adipose-derived stem cells (hASCs). PRP stimulates proliferation of hASCs; however, the signaling pathways activated by PRP remain unclear. METHODS hASCs were cultured with or without PRP or PDGF-BB, and proliferation was assessed. hASCs were also treated with PRP or PDGF-BB with or without imatinib, which is a PDGF receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, or sorafenib, which is a multikinase inhibitor. Inhibition of cell proliferation was examined using anti-PDGF antibody (Abcam, Cambridge, UK), by cell counting. We assessed the effects of inhibitors of various protein kinases such as ERK1/2, JNK, p38, and Akt on the proliferation of hASCs. RESULTS The proliferation was remarkably promoted in cells treated with either 1% PRP or 10 ng/ml PDGF-BB, and both imatinib and sorafenib inhibited this proliferation. Anti-PDGF antibody (0.5 and 2 μg/ml) significantly decreased the proliferation of hASCs compared with control. PRP-mediated hASC proliferation was blocked by inhibitors of ERK1/2, Akt, and JNK, but not by an inhibitor of p38. CONCLUSIONS PRP promotes hASC proliferation, and PDGF-BB in PRP plays a major role in inducing the proliferation of hASCs. PRP promotes hASC proliferation via ERK1/2, PI3K/Akt, and JNK signaling pathways.

Abstract
The limited capacity of nervous system to promote a spontaneous regeneration and the high rate of neurodegenerative diseases appearance are keys factors that stimulate researches both for defining the molecular mechanisms of pathophysiology and for evaluating putative strategies to induce neural tissue regeneration. In this latter aspect, the application of stem cells seems to be a promising approach, even if the control of their differentiation and the maintaining of a safe state of proliferation should be troubled. Here, we focus on adipose tissue-derived stem cells and we seek out the recent advances on the promotion of their neural differentiation, performing a critical integration of the basic biology and physiology of adipose tissue-derived stem cells with the functional modifications that the biophysical, biomechanical and biochemical microenvironment induces to cell phenotype. The pre-clinical studies showed that the neural differentiation by cell stimulation with growth factors benefits from the integration with biomaterials and biophysical interaction like microgravity. All these elements have been reported as furnisher of microenvironments with desirable biological, physical and mechanical properties. A critical review of current knowledge is here proposed, underscoring that a real advance toward a stable, safe and controllable adipose stem cells clinical application will derive from a synergic multidisciplinary approach that involves material engineer, basic cell biology, cell and tissue physiology.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) are becoming increasingly important for the development of cell therapeutics in regenerative medicine. Featuring immunomodulatory potential as well as secreting a variety of trophic factors, MSCs showed remarkable therapeutic effects in numerous preclinical disease models. However, sustainable translation of MSC therapies to the clinic is hampered by heterogeneity of MSCs and non-standardized in vitro culture technologies. Moreover, potent MSC therapeutics require MSCs with maximum regenerative capacity. There is growing evidence that in vitro preconditioning strategies of MSCs can optimize their therapeutic potential. In the following we will discuss achievements and challenges of the development of MSC therapies in regenerative medicine highlighting specific in vitro preconditioning strategies prior to cell transplantation to increase their therapeutic efficacy.

Abstract
Digital ulcers (DUs) are a rather frequent and invalidating complication in systemic sclerosis (SSc), often showing a very slow or null tendency to heal, in spite of the commonly used systemic and local therapeutic procedures. Recently, stem cell therapy has emerged as a new approach to accelerate wound healing. In the present study, we have tentatively treated long-lasting and poorly responsive to traditional therapy SSc-related DUs by implantation of autologous adipose tissue-derived cell (ATDC) fractions. Fifteen patients with SSc having a long-lasting DU in only one fingertip who were unresponsive to intensive systemic and local treatment were enrolled in the study. The grafting procedure consisted of the injection, at the basis of the corresponding finger, of 0.5-1 ml of autologous ATDC fractions, separated by centrifugation of adipose tissue collected through liposuction from subcutaneous abdominal fat. Time to heal after the procedure was the primary end point of the study, while reduction of pain intensity and of analgesic consumption represented a secondary end point. Furthermore, the posttherapy variation of the number of capillaries, observed in the nailfold video capillaroscopy (NVC) exam and of the resistivity in the digit arteries, measured by high-resolution echocolor-Doppler, were also taken into account. A rather fast healing of the DUs was reached in all of the enrolled patients (mean time to healing 4.23 weeks; range 2-7 weeks). A significant reduction of pain intensity was observed after a few weeks ( p < 0.001), while the number of capillaries was significantly increased at 3- and 6-month NVC assessment ( p < 0.0001 in both cases). Finally, a significant after-treatment reduction of digit artery resistivity was also recorded ( p < 0.0001). Even with the limitations related to the small number of patients included and to the open-label design of the study, the observed strongly favorable outcome suggests that local grafting with ATDCs could represent a promising option for the treatment of SSc-related DUs unresponsive to more consolidated therapies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Amniotic membrane-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hAM-dMSCs) are a potential source of mesenchymal stem cells which could be used to repair skin damage. The use of mesenchymal stem cells to repair skin damage requires safe, effective and biocompatible agents to evaluate the effectiveness of the result. Quantum dots (QDs) composed of CdSe/ZnS are semiconductor nanocrystals with broad excitation and narrow emission spectra, which have been considered as a new chemical and fluorescent substance for non-invasively labeling different cells in vitro and in vivo. This study investigated the cytotoxic effects of QDs on hAM-dMSCs at different times following labeling. METHODS Using 0.75, 1.5 and 3.0 μL between quantum dots, labeled human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells were collected on days 1, 2 and 4 and observed morphological changes, performed an MTT cell growth assay and flow cytometry for mesenchymal stem cells molecular markers. RESULTS Quantum dot concentration 0.75 μg/mL labeled under a fluorescence microscope, cell morphology was observed, The MTT assay showed cells in the proliferative phase. Flow cytometry expression CD29, CD31, CD34, CD44, CD90, CD105 and CD106. CONCLUSIONS Within a certain range of concentrations between quantum dots labeled human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells has good biocompatibility.

Abstract
There is a clear clinical need for cell therapies to repair or regenerate tissue lost to disease or trauma. Adipose tissue is a renewable source of stem cells, called adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs), that release important growth factors for wound healing, modulate the immune system, decrease inflammation, and home in on injured tissues. Therefore, ASCs may offer great clinical utility in regenerative therapies for afflictions such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease, spinal cord injury, heart disease, and rheumatoid arthritis, or for replacing lost tissue from trauma or tumor removal. This article discusses the regenerative properties of ASCs that can be harnessed for clinical applications, and explores current and future challenges for ASC clinical use. Such challenges include knowledge-based deficiencies, hurdles for translating research to the clinic, and barriers to establishing a new paradigm of medical care. Clinical experience with ASCs, ASCs as a portion of the heterogeneous stromal cell population extracted enzymatically from adipose tissue, and stromal vascular fraction are also described.

Abstract
Tissue engineering uses cells, signaling molecules, and/or biomaterials to regenerate injured or diseased tissues. Ex vivo expanded mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) have long been a cornerstone of regeneration therapies; however, drawbacks that include altered signaling responses and reduced homing capacity have prompted investigation of regeneration based on endogenous MSC recruitment. Recent successful proof-of-concept studies have further motivated endogenous MSC recruitment-based approaches. Stem cell migration is required for morphogenesis and organogenesis during development and for tissue maintenance and injury repair in adults. A biomimetic approach to in situ tissue regeneration by endogenous MSC requires the orchestration of three main stages: MSC recruitment, MSC differentiation, and neotissue maturation. The first stage must result in recruitment of a sufficient number of MSC, capable of effecting regeneration, to the injured or diseased tissue. One of the challenges for engineering endogenous MSC recruitment is the selection of effective chemoattractant(s). The objective of this review is to synthesize and evaluate evidence of recruitment efficacy by reported chemoattractants, including growth factors, chemokines, and other more recently appreciated MSC chemoattractants. The influence of MSC tissue sources, cell culture methods, and the in vitro and in vivo environments is discussed. This growing body of knowledge will serve as a basis for the rational design of regenerative therapies based on endogenous MSC recruitment. Successful endogenous MSC recruitment is the first step of successful tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Stem cells used for clinical tissue regeneration therapy should have the capacity of self-renewal, high proliferation, and differentiation and be able to be transplanted in large numbers. Although high concentrations of epidermal growth factor (EGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) may induce the differentiation of stem cells, these factors have been widely used to enhance the propagation of stem cells, including adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs). However, the effects of low concentrations of EGF and bFGF on stem cells need to be evaluated carefully. This study illustrates that low concentrations of EGF (5 ng/mL) and bFGF (10 ng/mL) increase the proliferative ability of ASCs and induce the typical spindle-shaped cell morphology. EGF and bFGF added to medium promoted neural lineage differentiation and impaired the mesodermal differentiation ability of ASCs. This study demonstrates that even low concentrations of EGF and bFGF may limit the differentiation ability of stem cells during stem cell expansion in vitro. EGF and bFGF supplementation should be carefully considered in stem cells for clinical applications.

Abstract
This review covers carboxypeptidase M (CPM) research that appeared in the literature since 2009. The focus is on aspects that are new or interesting from a clinical perspective. Available research tools are discussed as well as their pitfalls and limitations. Evidence is provided to suggest the potential involvement of CPM in apoptosis, adipogenesis and cancer. This evidence derives from the expression pattern of CPM and its putative substrates in cells and tissues. In recent years CPM emerged as a potential cancer biomarker, in well differentiated liposarcoma where the CPM gene is co-amplified with the oncogene MDM2; and in lung adenocarcinoma where coexpression with EGFR correlates with poor prognosis. The available data call for extended investigation of the function of CPM in tumor cells, tumor-associated macrophages, stromal cells and tumor neovascularisation. Such experiments could be instrumental to validate CPM as a therapeutic target.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells have been given particular attention in tissue regeneration research due to their multipotency and proliferative activity. In this study, we investigated the possibility of epithelial differentiation of rabbit adipose-derived stem cells (rASCs) in an in vitro 3D culture system. The experimental procedure was performed with different contributing factors including all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), epidermal growth factor (EGF), keratinocyte growth factor (KGF), hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), and hydrocortisone in air-liquid interface culture, for modulating proliferation and providing a synergistic effect on epithelial differentiation of rASCs. After induction, immunofluorescence staining, western blot analysis, flow cytometry analysis, and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction assay have been performed to detect the expression of epithelial-specific markers and mesenchymal marker alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA). The growth pattern and viability of cells were evaluated by transmission electron microscopy and Hoechst 33258 assay, respectively. After treated with optimized induction medium (including 2.5 μM ATRA, 20 ng/mL EGF, 10 ng/mL KGF, 10 ng/mL HGF, and 0.5 μg/mL hydrocortisone), rASCs were observed to display a stratified epithelial-like morphology, with the expression of cytokeratin 19 and cytokeratin 13 in 63.69%±2.63% and 22.17%±1.51%, respectively, and the relative expression level of cytokeratin 19 increased to 3.152 compared with 0.151 before induction. The expression of α-SMA decreased to 19.40%±1.45% after induction, but almost no expression of involucrin was detected. The results showed that the establishment of an epithelial-specific microenvironment may be a feasible way for epithelial differentiation of ASCs in vitro, and provided an alternative for research on epithelium regeneration.

Abstract
Isolation of adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) typically involves 8+ hours of intense effort, requiring specialized equipment and reagents. Here, we present an improved technique for isolating viable populations of mesenchymal stem cells from lipoaspirate saline fractions within 30 minutes. Importantly, the cells exhibit remarkable similarities to those obtained using the traditional isolation protocols, in terms of their multipotent differentiation potential and immunophenotype. Reducing the acquisition time of ASCs is critical for advancing regenerative medicine therapeutics, and our approach provides rapid and simple techniques for enhanced isolation and expansion of patient-derived mesenchymal stem cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AIMS Stem cells derived from human adipose tissue (ASC) have the capacity for renewal, are easily obtained and have plasticity properties that allow them to differentiate into several cell types, including osteoblast cells. With the aim of understanding the issue of the osteogenic process and finding reliable biomarkers in cells undergoing the osteogeneic differentiation process, this work took advantage of a proteomic approach to identify proteins involved in osteogenesis. METHODS For this purpose, ASC were analyzed under three conditions: S0, in the absence of stimulation; S1, with 2 weeks of osteogenic medium stimulation; and S2, with 4 weeks of osteogenic medium stimulation. The identification of ASC was carried out by flow cytometry using antibodies specific to known undifferentiated stem cell-surface markers. Cell viability, enzymatic activity, mineral deposition, collagen structure and production and gene analyzes were evaluated for each condition. RESULTS Phenotypic modifications were observed during the in vitro osteogenic differentiation process by two-dimensional (2-D) differential image gel electrophoresis (DIGE). The proteins were identified by mass espectrometry in tandem (MS/MS) analyzes using Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization with TOF/TOF is a tandem mass spectrometry method where two time-of-flight mass spectrometers are used consecutively (MALDI-TOF/TOF). A total of 51 differentially expressed proteins was identified when comparing the three observed conditions. Sixteen different spots were identified in the S0 stage compared with S2, while 28 different spots were found in S2 compared with S0. S1 expressed seven different spots compared with S0 and S2. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest the involvement of several proteins directly related to the osteogenic pathway, which can be used to improve understanding of the osteogenic process.

Abstract
The recent technique of transducing key transcription factors into unipotent cells (fibroblasts) to generate pluripotent stem cells (induced pluripotent stem cells [iPSCs]) has significantly changed the stem cell field. These cells have great promise for many clinical applications, including that of regenerative medicine. Our findings show that iPSCs can be derived from human adipose-derived stromal cells (hASCs), a notable advancement in the clinical applicability of these cells. To investigate differences between two iPS cell lines (fibroblast-iPSC and hASC-iPSC), and also the gold standard human embryonic stem cell, we looked at cell stiffness as a possible indicator of cell differentiation-potential differences. We used atomic force microscopy as a tool to determine stem cell stiffness, and hence differences in material properties between cells. Human fibroblast and hASC stiffness was also ascertained for comparison. Interestingly, cells exhibited a noticeable difference in stiffness. From least to most stiff, the order of cell stiffness was as follows: hASC-iPSC, human embryonic stem cell, fibroblast-iPSC, fibroblasts, and, lastly, as the stiffest cell, hASC. In comparing hASC-iPSCs to their origin cell, the hASC, the reprogrammed cell is significantly less stiff, indicating that greater differentiation potentials may correlate with a lower cellular modulus. The stiffness differences are not dependent on cell culture density; hence, material differences between cells cannot be attributed solely to cell-cell constraints. The change in mechanical properties of the cells in response to reprogramming offers insight into how the cell interacts with its environment and might lend clues to how to efficiently reprogram cell populations as well as how to maintain their pluripotent state.

Abstract
Human adipose stem cells (hASCs) can differentiate into a variety of phenotypes. Native extracellular matrix (e.g., demineralized bone matrix or small intestinal submucosa) can influence the growth and differentiation of stem cells. The hypothesis of this study was that a novel ligament-derived matrix (LDM) would enhance expression of a ligamentous phenotype in hASCs compared to collagen gel alone. LDM prepared using phosphate-buffered saline or 0.1% peracetic acid was mixed with collagen gel (COL) and was evaluated for its ability to induce proliferation, differentiation, and extracellular matrix synthesis in hASCs over 28 days in culture at different seeding densities (0, 0.25 x 10(6), 1 x 10(6), or 2 x 10(6) hASC/mL). Biochemical and gene expression data were analyzed using analysis of variance. Fisher's least significant difference test was used to determine differences between treatments following analysis of variance. hASCs in either LDM or COL demonstrated changes in gene expression consistent with ligament development. hASCs cultured with LDM demonstrated more dsDNA content, sulfated-glycosaminoglycan accumulation, and type I and III collagen synthesis, and released more sulfated-glycosaminoglycan and collagen into the medium compared to hASCs in COL (p <or= 0.05). Increased seeding density increased DNA content incrementally over 28 days in culture for LDM but not COL constructs (p <or= 0.05). These findings suggest that LDM can stimulate a ligament phenotype by hASCs, and may provide a novel scaffold material for ligament engineering applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AIMS The potential of cultured adipose-derived stem cells (ASC) in regenerative medicine and new cell therapeutic concepts has been shown recently by many investigations. However, while the method of isolation of ASC from liposuction aspirates depending on plastic adhesion is well established, a standard expansion medium optimally maintaining the undifferentiated state has not been described. METHODS We cultured ASC in five commonly used culture media (two laboratory-made media and three commercially available media) and compared them with a standard medium. We analyzed the effects on cell morphology, proliferation, hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) expression, stem cell marker profile and differentiation potential. Proliferation was measured with a 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and a fluorescent assay. Release of HGF was assessed by an immunoassay. Expression of characteristic stem cell-related transcription factors and markers was evaluated by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) (Nanog, Sox-2, Rex-1, nestin and Oct-4) and flow cytometry (CD44, CD73, CD90, CD105 and CD166), and differentiation was shown by adipogenic medium. RESULTS The morphology and expansion of ASC were significantly affected by the media used, whereas none of the media influenced the ASC potential to differentiate into adipocytes. Furthermore, two of the media induced an increase in expression of transcription factors, an increased secretion of HGF and a decrease in CD105 expression. CONCLUSIONS Culture of ASC in one of these two media before using the cells in cell therapeutic approaches may have a benefit on their regenerative potential.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS One potential treatment option for severe vocal fold scarring is to replace the vocal fold cover layer with a tissue-engineered structure containing autologous cells. As a first step toward that goal, we sought to develop a three-dimensional cell-populated matrix resembling the vocal fold layers of lamina propria and epithelium. STUDY DESIGN Basic science investigation. METHODS Adipose-derived stem cells were cultured in fibrin hydrogels with various growth factors. At the end of the culture period, matrices were sectioned and labeled with immunomarkers to identify cell phenotype. RESULTS Adipose-derived stem cells survived, attached, and populated three-dimensional fibrin matrices. Under select conditions, a superficial layer of cells expressing epithelial marker proteins overlay a deeper mesenchymal cell layer. CONCLUSIONS A three-dimensional structure of fibrin and adipose-derived stem cells was created as a prototype vocal fold replacement. Two segregated cell phenotypes occurred, producing a bilayered structure resembling epithelium over lamina propria. This preliminary work demonstrates the feasibility of tissue engineering to produce structures for vocal fold replacement.
