Adipose-derived stromal/stem cells improve epidermal homeostasis.

ABSTRACT: Wound healing is regulated by complex interactions between the keratinocytes and other cell types including fibroblasts. Recently, adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (ASCs) have been reported to influence wound healing positively via paracrine involvement. However, their roles in keratinocytes are still obscure. Therefore, investigation of the precise effects of ASCs on keratinocytes in an in vitro culture system is required. Our recent data indicate that the epidermal equivalents became thicker on a collagen vitrigel membrane co-cultured with human ASCs (hASCs). Co-culturing the human primary epidermal keratinocytes (HPEK) with hASCs on a collagen vitrigel membrane enhanced their abilities for cell proliferation and adhesion to the membrane but suppressed their differentiation suggesting that hASCs could maintain the undifferentiated status of HPEK. Contrarily, the effects of co-culture using polyethylene terephthalate or polycarbonate membranes for HPEK were completely opposite. These differences may depend on the protein permeability and/or structure of the membrane. Taken together, our data demonstrate that hASCs could be used as a substitute for fibroblasts in skin wound repair, aesthetic medicine, or tissue engineering. It is also important to note that a co-culture system using the collagen vitrigel membrane allows better understanding of the interactions between the keratinocytes and ASCs.

Project description:Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) transplant has been reported to be a potential treatment for burn wounds. However, the effects of autogenicity and allogenicity of ADSCs on burn wound healing have not been investigated and the method for using ADSCs still needs to be established. This study compared the healing effects of autologous and allogenic ADSCs and determined an optimal method of using ADSCs to treat acute burn wounds. Experiments were performed in 20 male Wistar rats (weight, 176-250 g; age, 6-7 weeks). Two identical full-thickness burn wounds (radius, 4 mm) were created in each rat. ADSCs harvested from inguinal area and characterized by their high multipotency were injected into burn wounds in the original donor rats (autologous ADSCs group) or in other rats (allogenic ADSCs group). The injection site was either the wound center or the four corners 0.5 cm from the wound edge. The reduction of burn surface areas in the two experimental groups and in control group were evaluated with Image J software for 15 days post-wounding to determine the wound healing rates. Wound healing was significantly faster in the autologous ADSCs group compared to both the allogenic ADSCs group (p<0.05) and control group (p<0.05). Wound healing in the allogenic ADSC group did not significantly differ from that in control group. Notably, ADSC injections 0.5cm from the wound edge showed significantly improved healing compared to ADSCs injections in the wound center (p<0.05). This study demonstrated the therapeutic efficacy of ADSCs in treating acute burn wounds in rats. However, only autologous ADSCs improved healing in acute burn wounds; allogenic ADSCs did not. This study further determined a superior location of using ADSCs injections to treat burn wounds including the injection site. Future studies will replicate the experiment in a larger and long-term scale burn wounds in higher mammalian models to facilitate ADSCs therapy in burn wound clinical practice.
