Growth and osteogenic differentiation of adipose-derived and bone marrow-derived stem cells on chitosan and chitooligosaccharide films

Very low molecular weight chitooligosaccharide (COS, 1.4 kDa) and high molecular weight chitosan (1000 kDa) were comparatively studied in terms of physical and biological characteristics. Thin films of COS, chitosan and gelatin were prepared and crosslinked by dehydrothermal treatment at 140 °C for 24 h. COS film presented more hydrophilic property than chitosan film. Behaviors of rat adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) and bone marrow-derived stem cells (MSCs) were investigated on COS and chitosan films, comparing to those on gelatin film. The results on cell spreading suggested that both ASCs and MSCs preferred to attach on COS film than chitosan film with 6–7 times larger cell areas. Numbers of both stem cells proliferated on COS film were approximately 3-fold higher than those on chitosan film. In addition, COS film enhanced osteogenic differentiating potential of MSCs, as observed from the alkaline phosphatase activity and calcium deposition. Therefore, in this work, COS was shown to be a more favorable material for the growth and osteogenic differentiation of both ASCs and MSCs, compared to high molecular weight chitosan.     

Stability of neural differentiation in human adipose derived stem cells by two induction protocols

There are some evidences for suggesting that adipose derived stem cells (ADSCs) can be differentiated to the fate of neural cell type. ADSCs can be expanded rapidly in vitro and can be obtained by a less invasive method. In this study, we attempted to compare the stability of neural differentiation in human ADSCs by using two induction protocols.Isolated ADSCs were induced into neural-like cells using diverse effects of two specific procedures. For protocol 1, ADSCs were induced by chemical induction. In protocol 2, ADSCs were treated for sphere formation. Then, the singled cells were cultured in neurobasal media supplemented with special components. Differentiated ADSCs were evaluated for Nestin, MAP2 and GFAP expression by immunocytochemistry and semi quantitative RT-PCR techniques. Moreover, MTT assay was employed to detect cell viability and proliferation.Immunocytochemical analysis of both protocols demonstrated that ADSCs had large expression of the neural-specific markers. In RT-PCR, protocol 1 showed the highest percentage of MAP2 expression, but with time passing, the neural like state was reversible. Protocol 2 found with express of Nestin at week 1, however MAP2 and GFAP expression increased after 3 weeks. The neural-like cells produced by protocol 1 led to the further cell death.Comparative analysis showed that neural-like cell differentiation of ADSCs in chemical induction protocol was rapid but transitory, while it was approximately steady in neurosphere formation protocol.
