Abstract (original English)

Osteogenic induction was regarded as an indispensable step for adipose-derived stromal cells (ADSCs) to have osteogenic ability. Non-induced ADSCs can also produce bone in vivo and heal skeletal defects. The present study aimed to compare the bone-forming ability of osteogenically induced ADSCs and non-induced ADSCs in vivo. Tissue-engineered constructs were prepared from osteogenically induced or non-induced ADSCs and porous hydroxyapatite/beta-tricalcium phosphate scaffolds. A scaffold without cells and an empty defect group were used as control. All were implanted in rat critical calvarial defects. After implantation for 6 and 12 weeks, bone formation was analyzed using histomorphometry and microcomputed tomography; there were no significant differences in the formation of new bone between osteogenically induced ADSCs and non-induced ADSCs (P > 0.05). In conclusion, osteogenic induction of ADSCs is not an indispensable step for bone formation in vivo. Non-induced ADSCs can also be used as seeding cells to construct bone tissue.
