Introduction:
In adipose tissue-derived osteogenic cells (ADOC), osteoblast markers and surface proteins were determined and compared with osteoblasts harvested from cancellous bone (OB).
Method:
Osteocalcin (OC), core binding factor 1 (CBFA1), collagen type 1 (Coll1), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), nucleostemin (NS), and surface proteins CD 10, CD44, CD 59 and CD 105 were analyzed using RT-PCR, immunofluorescence and Western blot.
Results:
Osteocalcin expression was more distinct in OB than in ADOC, but the other markers and surface proteins showed no differences.
Conclusion:
These data support the use of adipose tissue for future regenerative medicine; however, further studies are necessary to establish the role of long-term differentiation.
