Recently, cell based therapy become a popular topic in research fields. This therapy offers great potential to treat many diseases. Adipose-derived stem cell (ASCs) is known to have the special characteristic due to its abundant availability and easily harvesting. Then it rapidly advanced into clinical trials for treatment of a broad range of medical conditions. Before translating ASCs from bench to bedside, this process is facing other problems through fetal bovine serum (FBS) elimination. Animal-derived serum is not a suitable option for ASCs expansion regarding the possibility of viral or bacterial infection and immune reaction. By replacing FBS with other non-animal serum which gives the same effect as FBS, may significantly enhances the safety and quality of ASCs. Pooled human AB serum (AB-HS), human serum (HS), pooled human plasma lysate (PL), umbilical cord serum (UCS)/placental serum (PS), thrombinactivated platelet rich plasma (tPRP) or serum free (SF)/xeno-free (XF) have been considered as FBS alternatives and some already applied in clinical trials with human cells. This article focuses on a prospective alternatives serum through the elimination of FBS.

Serum has widely been used as a main supplement to embryo in vitro culture media as it contains embryotrophic factors. Charcoal:dextran treatment of fetal bovine serum (FBS) removes lipophilic chemicals and certain steroid hormones and growth factors. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of charcoal:dextran-stripped fetal bovine serum (CDS FBS) and heat-inactivated FBS (HI FBS) in embryo culture medium (SOF-BE1 medium supplemented with 10% of serum) on their ability to support in vitro development of bovine embryos. The developmental ability and quality of bovine embryos were determined by assessing their cell number, lipid content, mitochondrial activity, gene expression, and cryo-tolerance. The experiment was conducted in 6 replicates (350 oocytes per group). The differences in embryo development, integrated optical intensity, and expression levels of the various genes between experimental groups were analysed by one-way ANOVA. Duncan’s multiple range tests were used to test the differences between the treatments. The level of statistical significance was set at P < 0.05. The percentages of embryos that underwent cleavage and formed a blastocyst were significantly (P < 0.05) higher in medium containing CDS FBS than in medium containing HI FBS (42.84 ± 0.78% v. 36.85 ± 0.89%, respectively). The total number of cells per Day 8 blastocyst was not significantly different (P > 0.05) between the CDS FBS group (208.40 ± 14.77) and the HI FBS group (195.11 ± 19.15). Furthermore, the beneficial effects of CDS FBS on embryos were associated with a significantly increased mitochondrial activity, as identified by MitoTracker Green, and reduced intracellular lipid content, as identified by Nile red staining, which increased their cryo-tolerance. The post-thaw survival rate of blastocysts was significantly (P < 0.05) higher after 24 h in the CDS FBS than in the HI FBS group (85.33 ± 4.84% v. 68.67 ± 1.20%). Quantitative reverse transcription PCR showed that the mRNA levels of lipid metabolism-related genes, acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 3, acyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase long-chain, and the cholesterol metabolism related gene hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase were significantly increased upon culture with CDS FBS. Moreover, the mRNA levels of survival gene sirtuin 1, antioxidant gene superoxide dismutase 2, and anti-apoptotic associated gene B-cell lymphoma 2 in frozen–thawed blastocysts were significantly (P < 0.05) higher in the CDS FBS group than in the HI FBS group; however, the mRNA level of the pro-apoptotic gene BCL2-associated X protein was significantly reduced. In conclusion, these data suggest that supplementation of in vitro culture medium with CDS FBS improves in vitro bovine embryo developmental competence and the quality of blastocysts in terms of their crytolerance and gene expression.

<p><em>Abstrak</em> - <strong>Mesenchymal Stem Cell (MSC) berpotensi untuk digunakan dalam pengobatan karena bersifat multipoten, dapat bermigrasi, dapat berproliferasi. MSC dikultur menggunakan media basal dengan penambahan suplemen, seperti Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) dan Platelet-Rich Plasma(PRP) untuk mendukung pertumbuhannya. FBS dan PRP memiliki bahan dasar yang berbeda yaitu FBS berasal dari serum fetus sapi sedangkan PRP berasal dari plasma manusia, sehingga perlu dilakukan analisis karakter MSC yang dikultur pada media dengan penambahan FBS atau PRP. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk menganalisis profil MSC yang dikultur pada media dengan penambahan FBS 10% atau PRP 10%. Metode yang dilakukan adalah isolasi MSC, pewarnaan MSC, penentuan populasi sel, dan analisis statistik. Penanda yang digunakan berupa CD73, CD90, CD105 dan Lineage negative (CD45/CD34/CD11b/CD19/HLA-DR). Sampel MSC didapatkan dari 8 orang pasien Klinik Hayandra. Hasil dari penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tidak ada perbedaan yang signifikan dari seluruh marker CD, yaitu Lin-(-)/CD90+ (p = 0,16), Lin-(+)/CD90+ (p = 0,43), dan CD105+/CD73+ (p = 0.5). Walaupun tidak memiliki perbedaan nyata, namun PRP cenderung memberikan hasil yang lebih baik daripada FBS, sehingga PRP dapat dijadikan sebagai suplemen alternatif dalam mengkultur MSC.</strong></p><p><strong></strong><br /><em>Abstract</em> - <strong>Mesenchymal Stem Cell (MSC) were used in many therapy in curing degenerative diseases. Because of its multipotent character, MSC could migrated, proliferated, and differentiated. In culture, MSC needed some suplements such as Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) and Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) to support the growth. FBS and PRP had different ingredients based on their resources. FBS is derived from bovine fetus serum whereas PRP comes from human plasma, so became necessary to analyze MSC characters cultured in media with FBS or PRP suplements. The purpose of research was to analyze the MSC profile cultured with addition of 10% FBS and 10% PRP. The methodology were MSC isolation, MSC staining, cell population determination, and statistic analysis. The markers used are CD73, CD90, CD105 and Lineage negative (CD45 / CD34 / CD11b / CD19 / HLA-DR). Samples were obtained from 8 patients of Hayandra Clinic. The results of research showed that there were no significantly differences from all CD markers. Lin - (-) / CD90 + (p = 0.16), Lin - (+) / CD90 + (p = 0.43), and CD105 + / CD73 + (p = 0.5) gave different character in FBS or PRP suplementation. Although no significant difference, PRP tends to give better results than FBS in culturing MSC. This finding informed that PRP could be used as an alternative suplement in culturing MSC.</strong></p><p><strong><em>Keywords</em></strong> - <em>Mesenchymal Stem Cell (MSC), Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS), Platelet- Rich Plasma (PRP)</em></p>
