Abstract: | Oxidative stress is associated with various pathophysiological processes, including cell survival, adhesion, apoptosis, and cancer. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of H2O2‐induced toxicity on adipose tissue–derived stem cells (ADSCs) and whether 17β‐estradiol (E2) has protective effects on these cells. ADSCs derived from adult Sprague–Dawley rats were pretreated with different doses of E2 for 24 h and then exposed to 200 µM H2O2 for 4 h. Incubation of ADSCs with H2O2‐decreased cell viability in a concentration‐dependent fashion (p < 0.0001), whereas pretreatment of these cells with E2 significantly reversed toxicity (p < 0.05), inhibited apoptotic changes, and decreased lipid peroxidation (p < 0.0005). Our findings suggest that E2 protects ADSCs from oxidative‐induced cell death, and therefore, it may be used to improve the survival rate and regenerative capacity of stem cells. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
