Abstract (original English)

Background Recently, human adipose-derived stem cells (hASCs) were discovered in the human subcutaneous adipose tissue. PLTMax Human Platelet Lysate (PLTMax), a supplement refined from human platelets, has been reported to have proliferative effects on bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. The proliferative effects of PLTMax on ASCs were investigated in this study. Methods The ASCs in DMEM (serum-free), DMEM+PLTMax (1%, 2%, 5%, and 10%), and DMEM+FBS (10%) were cultivated for two, five, and seven days. The cell growth rate was examined, BrdU incorporation, and the cell cycle and Ki-67 immunostaining were performed. The cell growth rate was investigated when each inhibitor (PD98059, SP600125, SB203580, and LY294002) was added and phosphorylation of ERK1/2, JNK, p38, and Akt were examined by western blotting. The cell surface marker of hASCs was also analyzed. Results The cells in the PLTMax (5%) group showed significantly more proliferation compared to the cells in control (serum-free) and FBS (10%) groups, and a significant increase in the number of cells in the S phase and G2/M phase. The number of Ki-67 positive cells increased significantly in the DMEM+ PLTMax (5%) and the FBS (10%) groups. The addition of inhibitors PD98059, SP600125, SB203580, and LY294002 decreased the proliferative effects of PLTMax on ASCs. Phosphorylation of ERK1/2, JNK, p38, and Akt was observed in both
