Abstract (original English)
Rationale Adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) are a potential adult mesenchymal stem cell source for restoring endothelial function in ischemic tissues. However, the mechanism that promotes ASCs differentiation toward endothelial cells (ECs) is not known. Objective To investigate the mechanisms of ASCs differentiation into ECs. Methods and results ASCs were isolated from clinical lipoaspirates and cultured with DMEM or endothelial cell-conditioned medium. Endothelial cell-conditioned medium induced downregulation of miR-145 in ASCs and promoted endothelial differentiation. We identified bFGF (basic fibroblast growth factor) released by ECs as inducer of ASCs differentiation through receptor-induced AKT (protein kinase B) signaling and phosphorylation of FOXO1 (forkhead box protein O1) suppressing its transcriptional activity and decreasing miR-145 expression. Blocking bFGF-receptor or PI3K/AKT signaling in ASCs increased miR-145 levels. Modulation of miR-145 in ASCs, using a miR-145 inhibitor, regulated their differentiation into ECs: increasing proliferation, migration, inducing expression of EC markers (VE-cadherin, VEGFR2 [vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2], or VWF [von Willebrand Factor]), and tube-like formation. Furthermore, in vivo, downregulation of miR-145 in ASCs enhanced angiogenesis in subcutaneously implanted plugs in mice. In a murine hindlimb ischemia m
