Abstract (original English)
In this study, we aimed at generating osteogenic and vasculogenic constructs starting from the stromal vascular fraction (SVF) of human adipose tissue as a single cell source. SVF cells from human lipoaspirates were seeded and cultured for 5 days in porous hydroxyapatite scaffolds by alternate perfusion through the scaffold pores, eliminating standard monolayer (two-dimensional [2D]) culture. The resulting cell-scaffold constructs were either enzymatically treated to extract and characterize the cells or subcutaneously implanted in nude mice for 8 weeks to assess the capacity to form bone tissue and blood vessels. SVF cells were also expanded in 2D culture for 5 days and statically loaded in the scaffolds. The SVF yielded 5.9 +/- 3.5 x 10(5) cells per milliliter of lipoaspirate containing both mesenchymal progenitors (5.2% +/- 0.9% fibroblastic colony forming units) and endothelial-lineage cells (54% +/- 6% CD34+/CD31+ cells). After 5 days, the total cell number was 1.8-fold higher in 2D than in three-dimensional (3D) cultures, but the percentage of mesenchymal- and endothelial-lineage cells was similar (i.e., 65%-72% of CD90+ cells and 7%-9% of CD34+/CD31+ cells). After implantation, constructs from both conditions contained blood vessels stained for human CD31 and CD34, functionally connected to the host vasculature. Importantly, constructs generated under 3D perfusion, and n
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.
