Abstract (original English)
Background Microcirculation is important for regulating ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury associated with skin flap transplantation surgery. We investigated whether co-culture with adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) could protect human dermal microvascular endothelial cells (HDMECs) from I/R injury by inhibiting cell apoptosis and enhancing cell proliferation. We also investigated the effects of hypoxic preconditioning on ADSCs. Materials and methods HDMECs were divided into four groups, control, HDMECs in normoxic culture conditions; hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R), HDMECs in a hypoxic incubator for 8 h then in saturated aerobic culture medium for 24 h; H/R + ADSC(N), HDMECs treated similar to the H/R group then co-cultured with normoxic ADSCs; and H/R + ADSC(H), HDMECs treated similar to the H/R group then co-cultured with hypoxia preconditioned ADSCs. Results The rate of HDMECs apoptosis significantly increased in the H/R group, but decreased upon co-culture with ADSCs for 24 h, especially in the H/R + ADSC(H) group. Co-culture with ADSCs, especially hypoxia preconditioned ADSCs, significantly enhanced cell proliferation ability compared with that of the H/R group after 48 h and 72 h, but not after 24 h. Vascular endothelial growth factor levels were significantly higher in the H/R + ADSC(N) and H/R + ADSC(H) groups than in the H/R group. Conclusions ADSCs attenuated H/R injury
