Abstract (original English)

Human mesenchymal stem cells derived from adipose tissue have become increasingly attractive as they show appropriate features and are an accessible source for regenerative clinical applications. Different protocols have been used to obtain adipose-derived stem cells. This article describes different steps of an improved time-saving protocol to obtain a more significant amount of ADSC, showing how to cryopreserve and thaw ADSC to obtain viable cells for culture expansion. One hundred milliliters of lipoaspirate were collected, using a 26 cm three-hole and 3 mm caliber syringe liposuction, from the abdominal area of nine patients who subsequently underwent elective abdominoplasty. The stem cells isolation was carried out with a series of washes with Dulbecco's Phosphate Buffered Saline (DPBS) solution supplemented with calcium and the use of collagenase. Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF) cells were cryopreserved, and their viability was checked by immunophenotyping. The SVF cellular yield was 15.7 x 10 5 cells/mL, ranging between 6.1-26.2 cells/mL. Adherent SVF cells reached confluence after an average of 7.5 (±4.5) days, with an average cellular yield of 12.3 (± 5.7) x 10 5 cells/mL. The viability of thawed SVF after 8 months, 1 year, and 2 years ranged between 23.06%-72.34% with an average of 47.7% (±24.64) with the lowest viability correlating with cases of two-year freezing.
