Abstract (original English)
Functional engineering of musculoskeletal tissues generally involves rapid expansion of progenitor cells in vitro while retaining their potential for further differentiation and then induction in specific culture conditions. The autologous adipose-derived stromal cells (ASCs) are considered to contain pluripotent mesenchymal stem cells. Imaging with expression of green fluorescent protein (GFP) facilitates the detailed research on ASCs physiological behavior during differentiation into a variety of cell lineages both in vitro and in vivo. In this study, we aimed to confirm the trans-germ plasticity of homogeneously marked ASCs from GFP transgenic mice. Simultaneously, the term and intensity of GFP expression in ASCs were also focused on during variant inductions, when cells were incubated with multiple growth factors and adjuvant. ASCs were harvested from inguinal fat pads of transgenic nude mice, passaged 3 times in monolayer cultures, and then transferred to osteogenic, adipogenic, neurogenic, and myogenic medium. The morphological characterization of inductive cells was observed using phase-contrast microscopy and histological staining such as alizarin red for mineralization nodules and oil red O for lipid accumulation. The expression of marker genes or proteins was measured using RT-PCR and immunocytochemical analysis. Collagen type I, osteopontin (OPN), and osteocalcin (OC
