Abstract (original English)
Abstract Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) are known to secrete angiogenic factors that contribute to the treatment of intractable ulcers. The combination of PRP and ADSCs may enhance their angiogenic effects. However, it remains unclear whether treatment of ADSCs with PRP influences angiogenesis. We studied whether the conditioned medium from PRP-treated ADSCs under hypoxic conditions exerts angiogenic effects. Although PRP stimulated the proliferation of ADSCs obtained from rats, it decreased the mRNA levels of vascular endothelial growth factor, hepatocyte growth factor, and TGF-β1, but not of basic fibroblast growth factor, under hypoxia. The conditioned medium of PRP-treated ADSCs inhibited endothelial nitric oxide synthase phosphorylation, decreased NO production, and suppressed tube formation in human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Transplantation of ADSCs alone increased both blood flow and capillary density of the ischemic limb; however, its combination with PRP did not further improve blood flow or capillary density. This suggests that both conditioned medium of ADSCs treated with PRP and combination of PRP with ADSCs transplantation may attenuate the phosphorylation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase and angiogenesis.
