Abstract (original English)
Recent studies showcased the regenerative potential of Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) combined with Adipose-Derived Stem Cells (ASC). PRF enhances cellular proliferation through sustained growth factor secretion which are continuously released to surrounding cells. However, its regulatory mechanisms remain unclear. ASC were isolated from liposuction and abdominoplasty samples of healthy donors, characterised via flow-cytometry and cultured for 7 days. Four cell culture conditions were tested: (1) 10% PRF extract (PRFe), (2) 10% Platelet-Low Plasma (PLP), (3) 10% Foetal Bovine Serum (FBS) and (4) basal medium as control. Cell viability and proliferation were assessed using AlamarBlue and PicoGreen assays, as well as live-dead staining. Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assays quantified growth factor concentrations, while multiplex qPCR and immunocytochemical staining analysed gene and protein expression on days 1 and 7. PRFe-supplemented cultures showed the highest viability and proliferation, significantly surpassing other groups at day 7 (p < 0.05). Supernatant analysis revealed significantly elevated TGF-β1 and PDGF-AA/BB levels in PRFe cultures at day 7 (p of at least < 0.05). Multiplex qPCR indicated increased expression of proliferation and pluripotency markers (NANOG, JUN, SOX2, RPS6KA4; p < 0.05) and fibrillar collagen (COL1A; p < 0.05) in the PRFe group. These findings demonstra
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.
