Abstract The purpose of this study is to reveal the albumin uptake into endothelial cells in the separated flow area. After 24 hr of exposure to flow induced in a back step flow channel, the endothelial cells were incubated in 37°C for 60 minutes in PBS containing tetramethylrhodamine isothiocyanate conjugated albumin (TRITC-albumin). Thereafter, the cell morphology and the albumin uptake were observed by a confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM). In a low shear stress area (stagnant and reattachment areas), the cells aligned randomly. In a high shear stress area (reversal and fully developed areas), the cells were elongated and aligned to flow direction. In low-shear-stress and high-shear-stress gradient areas (reattachment areas), the amount of albumin uptake into the cells was the largest in all areas. These data indicate that shear stress and shear stress gradient affect the endothelial cell morphology and the albumin uptake into endothelial cells.

Stamina-enhancing effects of human adipose derived stem cells (hADSCs) were investigated in young Sprague-Dawley rats. Ten-day-old male rats were transplanted intravenously (IV) or intracerebroventricularly (ICV) with hADSCs (1 × 106 cells/rat), and physical activity was measured by locomotor activity and rota-rod performance at post-natal day (PND) 14, 20, 30, and 40, as well as a forced swimming test at PND 41. hADSCs injection increased the moving time in locomotor activity, the latency in rota-rod performance, and the maximum swimming time. For the improvement of physical activity, ICV transplantation was superior to IV injection. In biochemical analyses, ICV transplantation of hADSCs markedly reduced serum creatine phosphokinase, lactate dehydrogenase, alanine transaminase, and muscular lipid peroxidation, the markers for muscular and hepatic injuries, despite the reduction in muscular glycogen and serum triglycerides as energy sources. Notably, hADSCs secreted brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and nerve growth factor in vitro, and increased the level of BDNF in the brain and muscles in vivo. The results indicate that hADSCs enhance physical activity including stamina not only by attenuating tissue injury, but also by strengthening the muscles via production of BDNF.

Abstract A cell deforms and migrates on the scaffold under mechanical stimuli in vivo. In this study, a cell with division during shear stress stimulation has been observed in vitro. Before and after division, both migration and deformation of each cell were analyzed. To make a Couette-type shear flow, the medium was sandwiched between parallel disks (the lower stationary culture-disc and the upper rotating disk) with a constant gap. The wall shear stress (1.5 Pa < τ < 2 Pa) on the surface of the lower culture plate was controlled by the rotational speed of the upper disc. Myoblasts (C2C12: mouse myoblast cell line) were used in the test. After cultivation without flow for 24 hours for adhesion of the cells to the lower disk, constant τ was applied to the cells in the incubator for 7 days. The behavior of each cell during shear was tracked by time-lapse images observed by an inverted phase contrast microscope placed in the incubator. Experimental results show that each cell tends to divide after higher activities: deformation and migration. The tendency is remarkable at the shear stress of 1.5 Pa.

Introduction: The senescence of stem cells is the primary reason that causes aging of stem cell-containing tissues. Some hypotheses have suggested that high glucose concentration in diabetic patients is the main factor that causes senescence of cells in those patients. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of high glucose concentrations on the senescence of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs). Methods: ADSCs were isolated and expanded from human adipose tissues. They were characterized and confirmed as mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) by expression of surface markers, their shape, and in vitro differentiation potential. They were then cultured in 3 different media- that contained 17.5 mM, 35 mM, or 55 mM of D-glucose. The senescent status of ADSCs was recorded by the expression of the enzyme beta-galactosidase, cell proliferation, and doubling time. Real-time RT-PCR was used to evaluate the expression of p16, p21, p53 and mTOR. Results: The results showed that high glucose concentrations (35 mM and 55 mM) in the culture medium induced senescence of human ADSCs. The ADSCs could progress to the senescent status quicker than those cultured in the lower glucose-containing medium (17.5 mM). The senescent state was related to the up-regulation of p16 and mTOR genes. Conclusion: These results suggest that high glucose in culture medium can trigger the expression of p16 and mTOR genes which cause early senescence in ADSCs. Therefore, ADSCs should be cultured in low glucose culture medium, or normal glucose concentration, to extend their life in vitro as well as in vivo.
