Abstract (original English)

Background Human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs) have gained attention lately because of their ease of harvesting and ability to be substantially multiplied in laboratory cultures. Stem cells are usually cultured under atmospheric conditions; however, preconditioning stem cells under hypoxic conditions seems beneficial. Aim This systematic review aims to investigate the effect of hypoxia preconditioning and its impact on the proliferation and angiogenic capacity of the hADSCs. Methods We performed a systematic review by searching PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Google Scholar databases from all years through March 22, 2021, following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Medical Subject Headings terms "adipose-derived stem cell," "Hypoxia," "cell proliferation," and "angiogenesis" guided our search. Only articles written in English using experimental models comparing a preconditioned group against a control group of hADSCs with data on proliferation and angiogenic capacity were included. Results Our search yielded a total of 321 articles. 11 articles met our inclusion criteria and were ultimately included in this review. Two studies induced hypoxia using hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha stabilizing agents, while nine reached hypoxia by changing oxygen tension conditions around the cells. Four articles conducted in-vivo studies to correla
