In this study, nanofibrous extracellular matrix (ECM) was prepared from human adipose tissue, and the stepwise products were analyzed using differential thermal analysis (DTA)/thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR)/Raman spectroscopy. Human adipose tissue was liposuctioned (sample 1), centrifuged (sample 2), pulverized, centrifuged again (sample 3), and finally freeze-dried (sample 4). Each sample was subjected to DTA/TGA and FTIR/Raman analyses. In the DTA curve of sample 1, the major peak was observed at approximately 60 °C. However, relatively flat DTA curves were detected in samples 2 and 4. In the TGA results, sample 1 showed a more rapid weight loss pattern than the other samples. Samples 1, 2, and 3 showed similar FTIR spectra with a strong, broad absorption feature at ~3400 cm−1. Amide I, II, and III bands were clearly observed in the FTIR spectrum of sample 4. Samples 1 and 2 showed typical adipose tissue Raman spectra. However, in samples 3 and 4, the Raman signal was low. Scanning electron microscopic analysis of the freeze-dried ECM (sample 4) confimed its three-dimensional porous nanofibrous structure. These findings suggest that human adipose tissue, intermediate products, and human adipose tissue-derived ECM can be easily and effectively characterized with thermal and spectroscopic analyses. These efficient analyses can aid in the preparation of ECM and in clinical applications for regenerative medicine.

Due to its availability and minimal invasive harvesting human adipose tissue-derived extracellular matrix (dECM) is often used as a biomaterial in various tissue engineering and healthcare applications. Next to dECM, cell-derived ECM (cdECM) can be generated by and isolated from in vitro cultured cells. So far both types of ECM were investigated extensively towards their application as (bio)material in tissue engineering and healthcare. However, a systematic characterization and comparison of soft tissue dECM and cdECM is still missing. In this study, we characterized dECM from human adipose tissue, as well as cdECM from human adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs), towards their molecular composition, structural characteristics, and biological purity. The dECM was found to exhibit higher levels of collagens and lower levels of sulfated glycosaminoglycans (sGAGs) compared to cdECMs. Structural characteristics revealed an immature state of the fibrous part of cdECM samples. By the identified differences, we aim to support researchers in the selection of a suitable ECM-based biomaterial for their specific application and the interpretation of obtained results.

This work aims to characterize a new method to recover low-manipulated human adipose tissue, enriched with adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ATD-MSCs) for autologous use in regenerative medicine applications. Lipoaspirated fat collected from patients was processed through Lipocell, a Class II-a medical device for dialysis of adipose tissue, by varying filter sizes and washing solutions. ATD-MSC yield was measured with flow cytometry after stromal vascular fraction (SVF) isolation in fresh and cultured samples. Purification from oil and blood was measured after centrifugation with spectrophotometer analysis. Extracellular matrix preservation was assessed through hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining and biochemical assay for total collagen, type-2 collagen, and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) quantification. Flow cytometry showed a two-fold increase of ATD-MSC yield in treated samples in comparison with untreated lipoaspirate; no differences where reported when varying filter size. The association of dialysis and washing thoroughly removed blood and oil from samples. Tissue architecture and extracellular matrix integrity were unaltered after Lipocell processing. Dialysis procedure associated with Ringer’s lactate preserves the proliferation ability of ATD-MSCs in cell culture. The characterization of the product showed that Lipocell is an efficient method for purifying the tissue from undesired byproducts and preserving ATD-MSC vitality and extracellular matrix (ECM) integrity, resulting in a promising tool for regenerative medicine applications.
