Abstract
Background Adipose tissue-derived stromal cells (ADSCs) have great potential for cell-based therapies, including tissue engineering. However, various factors can influence the characteristics of isolated ADSCs. Methods We studied the influence of the harvesting site, i.e., inner thigh (n = 3), outer thigh (n = 3), outer thigh (n = 3), outer thigh (Results We revealed higher initial cell yields from the outer thigh region than from the abdomen region. Negative pressure did not influence the cell yields from the outer thigh region, whereas the yields from the abdomen region were higher under high negative pressure than under low negative pressure. In the subsequent passage, in general, no significant relationship was identified between the different negative pressure and ADSC characteristics. No significant difference was observed in the characteristics of thigh ADSCs and abdomen ADSCs. Only on day 1, the diameter was significantly bigger in outer thigh ADSCs than in abdomen ADSCs. Moreover, we noted a tendency of thigh ADSCs (i.e., inner thigh+outer thigh) to reach a higher cell number on day 7. Discussion. The harvesting site and negative pressure can potentially influence initial cell yields from lipoaspirates. However, for subsequent in vitro culturing and for use in tissue engineering, it seems that the harvesting site and the level of negative pressure do not have a crucial or limiting effect on basic ADSC characteristics.in vitro culturing and for use in tissue engineering, it seems that the harvesting site and the level of negative pressure do not have a crucial or limiting effect on basic ADSC characteristics.
Highlights
Adipose tissue-derived stromal cells (ADSCs) have great potential for cell-based therapies, including tissue engineering
Different negative pressure was not the key determinant factor for cell yields of the outer thigh region, whereas high negative pressure had a positive influence on the cell yields of the abdomen region
For the subsequent culturing, no significant relationship was identified between the characteristics of isolated ADSCs and the level of negative pressure used during liposuction
Summary
Adipose tissue-derived stromal cells (ADSCs) have great potential for cell-based therapies, including tissue engineering. We studied the influence of the harvesting site, i.e., inner thigh (n = 3), outer thigh (n = 7), and abdomen (n = 9), and of negative pressure, i.e., low (-200 mmHg) and high (-700 mmHg), on the characteristics of isolated ADSCs. We counted initial yields of attached cells after isolation. The harvesting site and negative pressure can potentially influence initial cell yields from lipoaspirates. For subsequent in vitro culturing and for use in tissue engineering, it seems that the harvesting site and the level of negative pressure do not have a crucial or limiting effect on basic ADSC characteristics. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are multipotent plastic-adherent fibroblast-like cells They can be harvested predominantly from adult organs and tissues, i.e., bone marrow, peripheral blood, adipose tissue, skin, skeletal muscle, dental pulp, brain, and endometrium [1]. The characteristics and the differentiation of bone marrow-derived stromal cells (BMSCs) have been widely studied, as they were the first MSCs to be described
