지방줄기세포는 다양한 세포로 분화할 수 있어서 세포치료제로 주목받고 있으나 세포 증식 속도가 느리고 세포의 수명이 짧아 임상 적용에 어려움이 있다. 본 연구팀은 선행연구에서 지방줄기세포의 증식속도를 향상시키고 세포 수명을 연장시키기 위해 SV40의 T항원 유전자를 사람의 ADSC에 도입하여 불사화시킨 ADSC 세포주를 제작하였으며 ADSC-T라고 명명하였다. 본 연구에서는 ADSC-T 세포의 분화능력을 검증하고, ADSC-T 세포를 배양하여 획득한 무혈청 배양액의 항염증 효능을 평가하였다. 그 결과, ADSC-T 세포주는 지방세포와 골세포로 분화할 수 있는 능력을 보유하고 있어 줄기세포의 가장 중요한 특징인 분화능력을 유지하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 ADSC-T의 배양액은 염증을 유발하는 NF-κB의 활성을 억제하였고, NF-κB의 표적 유전자인 COX-2와 iNOS의 발현도 억제하였다. 또한 ADSC-T 배양액은 ERK, JNK, p38의 인산화를 저해하여 세포 내 염증 유발 신호 전달 회로인 MAPKs 회로를 억제하는 것으로 나타났으며, 염증을 유발하는 cytokine인 TGF-β, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-13의 발현도 억제하는 효과를 보여 강한 항염증 효능이 있을 것으로 추정되었다. 실제로, 아토피 모델 쥐인 Nc/Nga 마우스를 DNCB로 처리하여 아토피 피부염을 유발한 뒤 ADSC-T 배양액을 도포한 결과 강한 치료 효과를 나타내었다. 이상의 결과로부터, 불사화된 ADSC-T 세포주는 지방줄기세포의 장점과 효능을 유지하고 있으며 향후 지방줄기세포의 세포 수급 문제를 해결할 수 있을 뿐 아니라 임상 적용이 가능한 배양액의 생산에도 널리 이용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

지방유래줄기세포(adipose-derived stem cell; ADSC)는 조직재생을 위한 탁월한 수단으로 인정되고 있으나 세포증식속도가 느려 ADSC의 배양용 배지에는 대게 fetal bovine serum (FBS)이 첨가된다. FBS는 세포에 다양한 영양분을 공급하지만 세포의 기능에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 미 동정 물질도 많이 함유하고 있다. FBS에 의한 예상밖의 영향과 동물유래물질의 오염을 방지하기 위해 ADSC의 무혈청 배양법에 관한 연구가 광범위하게 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 ADSC세포에 SV40의 T항원 유전자를 도입하여 증식속도를 향상시킨 ADSC-T세포주의 효율적인 무혈청 배양법을 확립하기 위해 ADSC-T의 세포증식에 미치는 아미노산복합체, 비타민 복합체 및 여러가지 영양분 혼합물(B27)의 영향을 검토하였다. 그 결과, ADSC-T세포를 DMEM/F12 무혈청 배지에 현탁하여 plate에 주입하였을 때는 증식하지 않았으며 아미노산, 비타민 및 B27 영양소복합체는 증식촉진효과를 나타내지 않았다. 그러나 ADSC-T세포를 유혈청 DMEM배지로 24시간 배양 후 DMEM/F12 무혈청 배지로 교체하여 배양했을 때는 세포가 증식하였으며 이때, 비타민 복합체와 B27 영양소복합체는 증식촉진효과를 나타내었다. 또한 Stem pro 배지를 이용하면 ADSC-T의 무혈청 부유배양이 가능한 것으로 나타났다. ADSC-T세포는 분자량 70 kDa 부근의 단백질을 다량으로 분비하였으며, 성장인자 중에서 insulin-like growth factor (IGF)와 fibroblast growth factor basic (FGF basic)는 유혈청 배양보다 무혈청 배양에서 더 많이 분비되었다.

Purpose: Adipose tissue-derived stem cells(ADSC) has an osteoconductive potential and demineralized bone matrix(DBM) is an osteoinductive material. A combination of DBM and ADSC wound probably create osteoinductive properties. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of the combination of DBM and ADSC mixture on healing of rat calvarial defect. Methods: Thirty adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into 3 groups(n=10) as 1) Control, 2) DBM alone, 3) DBM with ADSC mixture. DBM with ADSC mixture group has had a 3-day preculture of ADSC from groin fat pad. An 6 mm critical size circular calvarial defect was made in each rat. Defect was implanted with DBM alone or DBM with ADSC mixture. Control defect was left unfilled. 6 and 12 weeks after the implantation, the rats were sacrificed and the defects were evaluated by histomorphometric and radiographical studies. Results: Histomorphometric analysis revealed that DBM with ADSC mixture group showed significantly higher bone formation than DBM alone group(p<0.05). Although radiographs from DBM alone group and DBM with ADSC group revealed similar diffuse radiopaque spots dispersed throughout the defect. Densitometric analysis of calvarial defect revealed DBM with ADSC mixture group significantly higher bone formation than DBM alone(p<0.05). There was correlation of densitometry with new bone formation(Spearman's correlation of coefficient=0.804, 6 weeks, 0.802, 12 weeks). Conclusion: The DBM with ADSC mixture group showed the best healing response and the osteoinductive properties of DBM were accelerated with ADSC mixture. It will be clinically applicable that DBM and ADSC mixture in plastic and reconstructive surgery, such as alveolar cleft and congenital facial deformities that bone graft should be required.

Objective : Functional and neural tissue recovery has been reported in many animal studies conducted with stem cells. However, the combined effect of cytokines and stem cells has not yet been adequately researched. Here, we analyzed the additive effects of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (GCSF) on adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) infusion in the treatment of acute spinal cord injury (SCI) in rats. Methods : Four days after intrathecal infusion tubes implantation in Sprague-Dawley rats, SCI was induced with an infinite horizon impactor. In the Sham group (n=5), phosphate-buffered saline was injected 3, 7, and 14 days after SCI. GCSF, ADSCs, and ADSCs with GCSF were injected at the same time in the GCSF (n=8), ADSC (n=8), and ADSC+GCSF groups (n=7), respectively. Results : The ADSC and ADSC+GCSF groups, but not the GCSF group, showed significantly higher Basso-Beattie-Bresnahan scores than the Sham group during 8 weeks (p<0.01), but no significant difference between the ADSC and ADSC+GCSF groups. In the ladder rung test, all four groups were significantly different from each other, with the ADSC+GCSF group showing the best improvement (p<0.01). On immunofluorescent staining (GAP43, MAP2), western blotting (GAP43), and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (GAP43, nerve growth factor), the ADSC and ADSC+GCSF groups showed higher levels than the Sham and GCSF groups. Conclusion : Our analyses suggest that the combination of GCSF and ADSCs infusions in acute SCI in the rat does not have a significant additive effect. Hence, when combination agents for SCI stem cell therapy are considered, molecules other than GCSF, or modifications to the methodology, should be investigated.

Background and Objectives: We evaluated the effect of adipose-derived stem cell-derived conditioned medium (ADSC-CM) on the renal function of rats with renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI)-induced acute kidney injury. Methods and Results: Forty male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups: sham, nephrectomy control, IRI control, ADSC-CM. The ADSC-CM was prepared using the three-dimensional spheroid culture system and injected into renal parenchyme. The renal function of the rats was evaluated 28 days before and 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, and 14 days after surgical procedures. The rats were sacrificed 14 days after surgical procedures, and kidney tissues were collected for histological examination. The renal parenchymal injection of ADSC-CM significantly reduced the serum blood urea nitrogen and creatinine levels compared with the IRI control group on days 1, 2, 3, and 4 after IRI. The renal parenchymal injection of ADSC-CM significantly increased the level of creatinine clearance compared with the IRI control group 1 day after IRI. Collagen content was significantly lower in the ADSC-CM group than in the IRI control group in the cortex and medulla. Apoptosis was significantly decreased, and proliferation was significantly increased in the ADSC-CM group compared to the IRI control group in the cortex and medulla. The expressions of anti-oxidative makers were higher in the ADSC-CM group than in the IRI control group in the cortex and medulla. Conclusions: The renal function was effectively rescued through the renal parenchymal injection of ADSC-CM prepared using a three-dimensional spheroid culture system.

While adipose-derived stem cell-conditioned medium (ADSC-CM) has been demonstrated to promote skin wound healing, the mechanism regulating this effect remains unelucidated. In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of Ell3 in the wound healing activity of ADSC-CM. In vitro analysis revealed that Ell3 suppression in ADSCs impairs the promotive activity of ADSC-CM on the proliferation and migration of mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEF) and normal human dermal fibroblasts (NHDF). Consistently, the expression of MMP family genes, which regulate cell proliferation and migration, was significantly suppressed in MEF and NHDF treated with siEll3-transfected ADSC-CM. Proinflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin-1 and interleukin-6, were highly expressed in MEF treated with siEll3-transfected ADSC-CM. The wound healing activity of siEll3-transfected ADSC-CM was significantly lower than that of the control in vivo. Our results suggest that Ell3 may contribute to the inhibition of inflammatory response during skin wound healing.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of the hydrothermal pretreatment of anaerobic digestion sludge cake (ADSC) of cattle manure on the solubilization of organic matter and the methane yield to improve the anaerobic digestion efficiency of cattle manure collected from the sawdust pens of cattle. Methods: Anaerobic digestion sludge cake of cattle manure was thermally pretreated at 160℃, 180℃, 200℃, and 220℃ by a hydrothermal pressure reactor, and the biochemical methane potential of ADSC hydrolysate was analyzed. Methane yield recovered by the hydrothermal pretreatment of ADCS was estimated based on mass balance. Results: The chemical oxygen demand solubilization degree (COD_s) of the hydrothermal hydrolysate increased to 63.56%, 67.13%, 70.07%, and 66.14% at the hydrothermal reaction temperatures of 160℃, 180℃, 200℃, and 220℃, respectively. Considering the volatile solids content obtained after the hydrothermal pretreatment, the methane of 10.2 Nm³/ton-ADSC was recovered from ADSC of 1.0 ton, and methane yields of ADSC hydrolysate increased to 15.6, 18.0, 17.4, and 17.2 Nm³/ton-ADSC. Conclusion: Therefore, the optimal hydrothermal reaction temperature that yielded the maximum methane yield was 180℃ based on mass balance, and the methane yield from cattle manure containing sawdust was improved by the hydrothermal pretreatment of ADSC.

피부재생에 대한 지방줄기세포 배양상등액(ADSC-CM)의 효능에 대한 연구를 진행하였다. ADSC-CM이 피부재생에 기여하는 기작은 명확하지 못하지만, ADSC-CM은 다양한 분비물을 포함하고 있고 따라서 피부트러블 처리를 위한 훌륭한 재료이다. 저 산소 상태에서 생산된 ADSC-CM, 즉 advanced adipose-derived stem cell protein extract (AAPE)는 피부재생에 보다 좋은 재료이다. 본 연구는 피부 재생에 결정적 역할을 하는 인체 primary 세포인 섬유아세포(HDF)와 케라티노사이트(HK)를 이용하여 AAPE의 효능을 검증하였다. 0.32 ${\mu}g/ml$ AAPE에서 콜라겐 합성이 관찰 되었으며 AAPE는 stress fiber 형성을 강화하였다. DNA microarray 결과에서는 세포증식, 세포이동, 세포부착, 상처반응에 관여하는 133개의 유전자 발현이 조절되는 것을 알았다. Antibody array를 통해 CD54, FGF-2, GM-CSF, IL-4, IL-6, VEGF, TGF-${\beta}2$, TGF-${\beta}3$, MMP-1, MMP-10, 그리고 MMP-19와 같은 MMP, 성장인자, 사이토카인등 25개의 알려진 단백질이 포함되어 있다는 것을 알았다. 따라서, AAPE는 HK의 세포생물학적 기능을 활성화 할 수 있다고 사료되며 HDF에서는 콜라겐 합성을 유도하였다. 이러한 결과는 AAPE가 피부재생에 임상적 적용이 가능하리라는 것을 의미한다.

The proliferation of embryonic cells or adult stem cells in tissue is critically regulated during development and repair. How limited the proliferation of cells, so far, is not much explored. Cell-cell contact proliferation inhibition is known as a crucial mechanism regulating cell proliferation in vitro and in vivo. In this study we examined the characters of mouse subcutaneous adipose derived stem cells (msADSC) whether they lost or get contact inhibition during in vitro culture. The characters of msADSC growth after confluence were analyzed using confocal microscope and the expression profiles of contact inhibition related genes were analyzed according to the morphological changes using real-time PCR method. msADSC showed overlapping growth between them but not after passage 14. The cell shapes were also changed after passage 14. The expression profiles of genes which are involved in contact inhibition were modified in the msADSC after passage 14. The differentiation ability of msADSCs to adipocyte, chondrocyte and osteocyte was not changed by such changes of gene expression profiles. Based on these results, it is revealed that smADSC were characterized by getting of strong cell-cell contact inhibition after passage 14 but the proliferation and developmental ability were not blocked by the change of cell-cell contact proliferation inhibition. These finding will help to understand the growth of adipose tissue, although further studies are needed to evaluate the physiological meaning of the cell-cell contact proliferation inhibition during in vitro culture of msADSC.

MicroRNA는 인체 지방 유래 중간엽 줄기세포(hADSC)의 분화와 증식을 조절할 수 있으나 hADSC에서 miR-200a와 miR210의 역할은 아직까지 보고된 바가 없다. 표적 mRNA의 3' UTR 에 결합할 수 있는 construct를 이용한 luciferase assay를 통하여 microRNA가 직접적으로 표적 mRNA에 결합하는 것을 확인 하였다. hADSC에서 miR-200a 과발현은 ZEB2의 발현 감소를 통해 hADSC의 분화와 증식을 증가시키는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, miR210의 과발현은 IGFBP3의 발현 감소를 통해 hADSC의 증식을 감소시키는 반면, 분화는 증가시키는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. hADSC에서 miR210의 발현 억제는 표적유전자의 발현을 증가시킴으로써 hADSC의 증식을 증가시키는 반면, 분화를 억제시키는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. luciferase assay통하여 microRNA-200a/210의 과발현이 대조군에 비해 표적 유전자인 ZEB2/ IGFBP3의 luciferase 활성화를 감소시키는 것을 확인하였으며, hADSC에서 ZEB2/ IGFBP3 발현 억제는 microRNA-200a/210 과발현과 유사한 효과를 나타내는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 microRNA-200a/210가 hADSC의 분화와 증식을 각각의 표적 유전자인 ZEB2/ IGFBP3을 통해 조절한다는 것을 나타낸다.
