abstract

background: adipose-derived stem cells (adscs) are a population of pluripotent cells used for tissue engineering purposes. the main purpose of the present study was to transdifferentiate the adscs to schwann-like cells and to determine the intensity of apoptosis in adscs during the transdifferentiation process.   methods: adscs were isolated from the inguinal adipose tissue of adult rats and the identity of the undifferentiated adscs was confirmed by the detection of specific cells surface markers. the adscs were transdifferentiated by sequential administration of beta mercaptoethanol, all-trans retinoic acid and a mixture of forskolin, beta fibroblast growth factor, platelet derived growth factor and hergulin. the immunocytochemical properties of transdifferentiated schwann-like cells were examined at specified time point. rt-pcr was used to investigate the gene expression of the undifferentiated and transdifferentiated adscs . cell apoptosis was assessed with annexin/propidium iodide staining and 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol- 2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (mtt) assay.   results: expression of schwann cell marker s100 was determined by immunocytochemical staining. rt-pcr analyses revealed that the induced adscs exhibited schwann cell-specific markers such as s-100, p75, and glial fibrillary acidic protein on the 14th day. mtt assay and flow cytometry studies showed that of the total adscs in the differentiation medium, 50% of the cells died by apoptosis, but the remaining cell population remained strongly attached to the substrate and continued to differentiate.   conclusion: adscs could differentiate to schwann-like cells in terms of morphology and phenotype. an increased cell death rate was noted and the principle mode of cell death was apoptosis.

Apoptosis of Rat Adipose-Derived Stem Cells during Transdifferentiation to Schwann-Like Cell

Background: Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) are a population of pluripotent cells used for tissue engineering purposes.

Differentiation of Adipose-derived Stem Cells into Schwann Cell Phenotype in Comparison with Bone Marrow Stem Cells

Objective(s) Bone marrow is the traditional source of human multipotent mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), but adipose tissue appears to be an alternative and more readily available source. In this study, rat adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) were induced to differentiate into Schwann-like cells and compared with rat bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) for their Schwann-like cells differentiation pote...

Induction of adipose-derived stem cells into Schwann-like cells and observation of Schwann-like cell proliferation

The peripheral nervous system has the potential for full regeneration following injury and recovery, predominantly controlled by Schwann cells (SCs). Therefore, obtaining a sufficient number of SCs in a short duration is crucial. In the present study, rat adipose‑derived stem cells (ADSCs) were isolated and cultured, following which characterization of the ADSCs was performed using flow cytomet...

Efficient transdifferentiation of human adipose-derived stem cells into Schwann-like cells: A promise for treatment of demyelinating diseases

BACKGROUND Schwann cells (SCs) can provide a suitable option for treatment not only diseases of peripheral nervous system (PNS), but also diseases of central nervous system (CNS). It is difficult to obtain sufficient large number of SCs for clinical purpose because of their restricted mitotic activity, and by sacrificing one or more functioning nerves with the consequence of loss of sensation. ...

Co-culture with Schwann cells is an effective way for adipose-derived stem cells neural transdifferentiation

INTRODUCTION Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) could accomplish neural transdifferentiation with the presence of certain growth factors in vitro. It has been proved that bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) can realize neural transdifferentiation only by being co-cultured with Schwann cells (SCs), and in our former studies we have confirmed that ADSCs could do so too. This paper aims to investiga...
