Abstract:
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) obtained from various sources have been used for different therapeutic applications including tissue regeneration. Reamer/irrigator/aspirator (RIA) has been increasingly used in recent years for the derivation of MSCs. Here in this investigation we have comparatively analyzed MSCs obtained from iliac crest bone marrow (ICBM) and RIA for their morphology, cluster determinant (CD) markers, and adipogenic differentiation capacity. MSCs were isolated, cultured, and purified from both sources and then flow cytometric studies were performed to study their characteristics. The differentiation potential of RIA and ICBM was examined by an Oil Red O staining protocol. Moreover, the tissue-specific markers related to adipogenesis were analyzed by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The cells were cultured in the relevant induction medium and then adipogenic lineage differentiation was tested and confirmed for all MSC preparations. Additionally, analysis by flow cytometer was indicative of RIA derived MSCs (RIA-MSCs) having a more homogenous population than ICBM derived MSCs. The RIA-MSCs differentiation toward adipogenic lineage was more efficient compared with ICBM-MSCs. Direct comparative analysis of RIA to ICBM-MSCs indicated that the RIA-MSCs had a higher potential toward adipocyte lineage differentiation compared with ICBM-MSCs.
