Abstract (original English)
Cultured meat is an emerging technology that is friendly for the environment and animal welfare. As a novel food ingredient, cultured fat is essential for the flavor and nutrition of cultured meat. In this study, we purified adipose progenitor cell (APC) from freshly isolated porcine stromal vessel fraction (SVF) by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) and identified the transcriptome characteristics of APC by RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). The results showed that APC had characteristics of high-efficiency proliferation and adipogenic differentiation and was distinct from SVF cell in transcriptome profiles. Subsequently, APC was used to prepare cultured fat by 3D bioprinting and to evaluate the differences in fatty acid composition between cultured fat and porcine subcutaneous adipose tissue (pSAT). The results indicated that the fatty acid composition and content of cultured fat had a certain similarity with pSAT; specifically, the content of key monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) that create pork flavor in cultured fat, such as C18:1(n-12), C18:1(n-9) and C19:1(n-9)T, were close to that of pSAT. Therefore, this research indicated that APC is a promising candidate cell type for the production of cultured fat.
What this study does not prove
- • This study does not prove SVF is an approved treatment or a replacement for standard care.
