Abstract (original English)
Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs), which are an accessible source of adult stem cells with capacities for self-renewal and differentiation into various cell types, have a promising potential in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine strategies. To meet the clinical demand for ADSCs, cryopreservation has been applied for long-term ADSC preservation. To optimize the addition, removal, freezing, and thawing of cryoprotective agents (CPAs) applied to ADSCs, we measured the transport properties of porcine ADSCs (pADSCs). The cell responses of pADSCs to hypertonic phosphate-buffered saline and common CPAs, dimethyl sulfoxide, ethylene glycol, and glycerol were measured by a microperfusion system at temperatures of 28, 18, 8, and -2°C. We determined the osmotically inactive cell volume (Vb), hydraulic conductivity (Lp), and CPA permeability (Ps) at various temperatures in a two-parameter model. Then, we quantitatively analyzed the effect of temperature on the transport properties of the pADSC membrane. Biophysical parameters were used to optimize CPA addition, removal, and freezing processes to minimize excessive shrinkage of pADSCs during cryopreservation. The biophysical properties of pADSCs have a great potential for effective optimization of cryopreservation procedures.
