A safety evaluation of adipose derived stem cells
Abstract
Adipose tissue contains a large numbers of stem cells. Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSC) employed in regenerative medicine. This study aimed to isolate ADSC and evaluate the safety of ADSC in mice model. Stromal vascular fraction (SVF) was collected from adipose tissue by collagenase. Then, ADSCs were isolated from SVFs by in vitro culture. ADSCs were evaluated their stemness in vitro by self-renewal potential, differentiation potential into osteoblasts, adipocytes, and chondroblasts as well as expression of some specific markers. Finally, the ADSCs were evaluated tumor formation in vivo in athymic mouse. Results showed that 100% samples of ADSCs were developed well and maintained homogeneous up to passage 10th. ADSCs were completely sterilized and could not cause tumors in athymic mouse. These initial results showed that ADSCs were safety for stem cell therapy.
