Continuous Electrical Stimulation Affects Initial Growth and Proliferation of Adipose-Derived Stem Cells.

ABSTRACT: The aim of the study was to establish electrical stimulation parameters in order to improve cell growth and viability of human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSC) when compared to non-stimulated cells in vitro. hADSC were exposed to continuous electrical stimulation with 1.7 V AC/20 Hz. After 24, 72 h and 7 days, cell number, cellular surface coverage and cell proliferation were assessed. In addition, cell cycle analysis was carried out after 3 and 7 days. After 24 h, no significant alterations were observed for stimulated cells. At day 3, stimulated cells showed a 4.5-fold increase in cell numbers, a 2.7-fold increase in cellular surface coverage and a significantly increased proliferation. Via cell cycle analysis, a significant increase in the G2/M phase was monitored for stimulated cells. Contrastingly, after 7 days, the non-stimulated group exhibited a 11-fold increase in cell numbers and a 4-fold increase in cellular surface coverage as well as a significant increase in cell proliferation. Moreover, the stimulated cells displayed a shift to the G1 and sub-G1 phase, indicating for metabolic arrest and apoptosis initiation. In accordance, continuous electrical stimulation of hADSC led to a significantly increased cell growth and proliferation after 3 days. However, longer stimulation periods such as 7 days caused an opposite result indicating initiation of apoptosis.

Project description:This work describes the differentiation of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASC) in a composite hydrogel for use as a vascularized dermal matrix. Our intent is that such a construct could be utilized following large-surface-area burn wounds that require extensive skin grafting and that are limited by the availability of uninjured sites. To develop engineered skin replacement constructs, we are pursuing the use of ASC. We have established that a PEGylated fibrin gel can provide a suitable environment for the proliferation of ASC over a 7 day time course. Further, we have demonstrated that PEGylated fibrin can be used to control ASC differentiation toward vascular cell types, including cells characteristic of both endothelial cells and pericytes. Gene expression analysis revealed strong upregulation of endothelial markers, CD31, and von Willebrand factor, up to day 11 in culture with corresponding evidence of protein expression demonstrated by immunocytochemical staining. ASC were not only shown to express endothelial cell phenotype, but a subset of the ASC expressed pericyte markers. The NG2 gene was upregulated over 11 days with corresponding evidence for the cell surface marker. Platelet-derived growth factor receptor beta gene expression decreased as the multipotent ASC differentiated up to day 7. Increased receptor expression at day 11 was likely due to the enhanced pericyte gene expression profile, including increased NG2 expression. We have also demonstrated that when cells are loaded onto chitosan microspheres and sandwiched between the PEGylated fibrin gel and a type I collagen gel, the cells can migrate and proliferate within the two different gel types. The matrix composition dictates the lineage specification and is not driven by soluble factors. Utilizing an insoluble bilayer matrix to direct ASC differentiation will allow for the development of both vasculature as well as dermal connective tissue from a single population of ASC. This work underscores the importance of the extracellular matrix in controlling stem cell phenotype. It is our goal to develop layered composites as wound dressings or vascularized dermal equivalents that are not limited by nutrient diffusion.
