Background: Wound healing of burned skin remains a major goal in public health. Previous reports showed that the bone marrow stem cells were potent in keratinization and vascularization of full thickness skin wounds. Methods: In this study, mesenchymal stem cells were derived from rat adipose tissues and characterized by flowcytometry. Staining methods were used to evaluate their differentiatio...

BACKGROUNDS/AIMS It has been reported that functional hepatogenic differentiation has the possibility to occur in subcutaneous adipose tissue-derived stem cells. However, no studies have investigated whether the adipose tissue-driven stem cells present in various body parts differ according to hepatogenic differentiations. In this study, stem cells were separated from body visceral fat and abdo...

Adipose tissue allows for triacylglycerol storage in periods of energy excess and the subsequent use of triacylglycerol stores during energy deprivation with the lipogenic/lipolytic balance under tight hormonal control. Information is incomplete on the origins of adipose cells and adipose tissue. White adipose tissue is not detected during embryonic life or at birth in rats and mice, but is pre...

We have studied the expression of the Id1, Id2, and Id3 genes during adipose differentiation of 3T3-F442A cells. All three Id mRNAs are present in preadipose cells, but the mRNA for Id3 is the most abundant. All three Id mRNAs sharply decline in the course of adipose differentiation, and their virtual disappearance precedes differentiation. The decrease in Id2 and Id3 is associated with adipose...

Numerous regulatory T cells (Tregs) are present in adipose tissues compared with other lymphoid or non-lymphoid tissues. Adipose Tregs regulate inflammatory state and insulin sensitivity. However, the mechanism that maintains Tregs in adipose tissue remains unclear. Here, we revealed the contribution of adipose tissue macrophages (ATMs) to the induction and proliferation of adipose Tregs. ATMs ...

Background Adipose tissue mesenchymal stem cells (AT-MSCs) are suitable choices in treatment of liver associated diseases. Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) is an amphipathic molecule with potential of delivering both lipophilic and hydrophilic agents into cells. Few protocols used DMSO for induction of AT-MSCs towards hepatocyte like cells but the effect of DMSO on hepatogenic differentiation were no...

We assessed human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) harvested from breast and abdominal adipose tissues enriched in embryonic stage-specific antigen (SSEA-4) expression for osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation in comparison to a mixed cell population. Human adipose was obtained from abdominal and breast tissues of females undergoing gastric bypass and breast reduction, respectively. SSEA-4-exp...
