Abstract (original English)

There are many potential therapeutic applications for autologous adipose-derived stromal cells. These cells are found in a heterogeneous population isolated from adipose tissue called the stromal vascular fraction (SVF). Closed automated systems are available to release cells from the adherent stroma. Here, we test one system to evaluate the heterogeneous output for yield, purity, cellular characterization, and stemness criteria. The SVF was isolated from three donors using the Automated Cell Station (ACS) from BSL Co., Ltd., Busan, Republic of Korea. The SVF cellular output was characterized for cell yield and viability, immunophenotyping analysis, pluripotent differentiation potential, adhesion to plastic, and colony-forming units. Additionally, the SVF was tested for endotoxin and collagenase residuals. The SVF yield from the ACS system was an average volume of 7.9 ± 0.5 mL containing an average of 19 × 10 6 nucleated cells with 85 ± 12% viability. Flow cytometry identified a variety of cells, including ASCs (23%), macrophages (24%), endothelial cells (5%), pericytes (4%), and transitional cells (0.5%). The final concentrated product contained cells capable of differentiating into adipogenic, chondrogenic, and osteogenic phenotypes. Furthermore, tests for SVF sterility and purity showed no evidence of endotoxin or collagenase residuals. The ACS system can efficiently process

What this study does not prove

  • • This study does not prove SVF is an approved treatment or a replacement for standard care.
  • • This is preclinical work; animal or laboratory results cannot be applied to humans.
