Abstract (original English)

Finding an effective method to regenerate muscle is a growing issue in the orthopedic field. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has recently been considered for therapeutic use due to its capacity to induce proliferation of myogenic progenitor cells (MPCs). Adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) and its extract are regarded as a promising treatment for various disorders within the orthopedic field but their therapeutic relevance in the muscle regeneration is poorly investigated. In this study, rabbit MPCs were cultured from the supraspinatus of rabbit and characterized by myogenic markers. To investigate the paracrine effect of ASCs on MPCs, coculture experiments were performed. In order to see the anabolic effect of ASC-extracts (ASC-ex) in MPCs, cell proliferation assays were performed and compared with the PRP-added condition. Coculture experiment showed ASCs had an anabolic paracrine effect on proliferation of MPCs. PRP had a positive effect on proliferation of MPCs when compared to the control (100 ± 7.4% vs 195.2 ± 19.2%, p < 0.001); however, ASC-ex promoted greater proliferation than the PRP condition (467.3 ± 38.7%, p < 0.001 compared with PRP). Similarly, in C2C12 cells, PRP showed an increased rate when compared to the control (100 ± 5.9% vs 205.1 ± 45.4%, p < 0.001), and treatment of ASC-ex showed dramatic increase in proliferation (335.9 ± 37.8%, p < 0.001 compared with PRP).
