Adipose tissue stromal fraction (ASF) contains multipotent cells capable of differentiation towards several lineages and may be used for the treatment of various degenerative diseases. However, the multipotent cells within ASF have not been fully characterized. In this study we have attempted to characterize stem cells in the ASF obtained through serial dilution. Five single-cell clones were studied. It was found that the single-cell clones exhibited slight but significant differences in proliferative capacity and differentiation potential. We conclude that ASF houses different subtypes of stem cells.

Mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs) are immature multipotent cells, which represent a rare population in the perivascular niche within nearly all tissues. The most abundant source to isolate MSCs is adipose tissue. Currently, perirenal adipose tissue is rarely described as the source of MSCs. MSCs were isolated from perirenal adipose tissue (prASCs) from patients undergoing tumor nephrectomies, cultured and characterized by flow cytometry and their differentiation potential into adipocytes, chondrocytes, osteoblasts and epithelial cells. Furthermore, prASCs were stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), lipoteichoic acid (LTA) or a mixture of cytokines (cytomix). In addition, prASC susceptibility to human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) was investigated. The expression of inflammatory readouts was estimated by qPCR and immunoassay. HCMV infection was analyzed by qPCR and immunostaining. Characterization of cultured prASCs shows the cells meet the criteria of MSCs and prASCs can undergo trilineage differentiation. Cultured prASCs can be induced to differentiate into epithelial cells, shown by cytokeratin 18 expression. Stimulation of prASCs with LPS or cytomix suggests the cells are capable of initiating an inflammation-like response upon stimulation with LPS or cytokines, whereas, LTA did not induce a significant effect on the readouts (ICAM-1, IL-6, TNFα, MCP-1 mRNA and IL-6 protein). HCMV broadly infects prASCs, showing a viral load dependent cytopathological effect (CPE). Our current study summarizes the isolation and culture of prASCs, clearly characterizes the cells, and demonstrates their immunomodulatory potential and high permissiveness for HCMV.

Growing evidence from animal studies shows that adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ASCs) improve cardiac function of infarcted hearts. It is commonly accepted that therapeutic potential of ASCs may depend more on their paracrine effects than differentiation potential. The underlying mechanisms remain unclear. However, most data regarding paracrine factors were obtained from ASCs cultured in normoxic condition (20%). The present study investigated how in vivo physiological oxygen (4%) tension influenced the secretome of ASCs. ASCs were isolated from three 8-week-old BALB/c mice. ASCs were confirmed by the expression of stem cell markers (CD44 and CD90) and their capacity to differentiate into adipocytes and osteocytes. ASCs at passage 5 were cultured in normoxic (20%) and lower oxygen (4%) incubators and conditioned for 24 h (3 cultures/group). The conditioned media (CM) from ASCs were subjected to trypsin digestion followed by analysis using automated nano-flow liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. The collected LC/MS/MS data were searched against the rodent subset of the Uniprot database and the total proteomes were identified. The data were from 6 technical replicates. A total of 28 proteins were identified and 7 proteins were unique to normoxic CM. Of the 21 common proteins detected in both normoxic and lower oxygen CM, 9 were extracellular matrix proteins. The abundance of 6 of these proteins (e.g., collagen I and laminin) differed noticeably between normoxic and lower oxygen CM. In addition, a greater amount of cytokine CXCL5 and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 was detected in lower oxygen CM than in normoxic CM while tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP)-1 was only detected in normoxic CM. These results indicate that lower oxygen tension differentially regulates the secretome of ASCs. Extrapolating the results of this study to the in vivo setting, it would appear that injected ASCs may exert their anti-fibrotic and trophic effect by 1) directly regulating the balance of MMP/TIMP production and preventing collagen accumulation in ischemic hearts to decrease fibrosis, and 2) secreting trophic factors including CXCL5. These data suggest that proteomic analysis of CM is useful for elucidation of the paracrine effect of ASCs in vivo.

Human mesenchymal stem cells derived from adipose tissue (hADMSCs) are a desirable candidate in regenerative medicine. hADMSCs secrete growth factors, cytokines, and chemokines and also express various receptors that are important in cell activation, differentiation, and migration to injured tissue. We showed that the expression level of chemokine receptor CXCR6 was significantly increased by ~2.5-fold in adipogenic-differentiated cells (Ad), but not in osteogenic-differentiated cells (Os) when compared with hADMSCs. However, regulation of CXCR6 expression on hADMSCs by using lentiviral particles did not affect the differentiation potential of hADMSCs. Increased expression of CXCR6 on Ad was mediated by both receptor recycling, which was in turn regulated by secretion of CXCL16, and de novo synthesis. The level of soluble CXCL16 was highly increased in both Ad and Os in particular, which inversely correlates with the expression on a transmembrane-bound form of CXCL16 that is cleaved by disintegrin and metalloproteinase. We concluded that the expression of CXCR6 is regulated by receptor degradation or recycling when it is internalized by interaction with CXCL16 and by de novo synthesis of CXCR6. Overall, our study may provide an insight into the molecular mechanisms of the CXCR6 reciprocally expressed on differentiated cells from hADMSCs.
