Regeneration therapy using adipose-derived stem cells (ADSC) has been proposed in the treatment of skin aging. Myofibroblast plays a relevant role in the organization of the extracellular matrix of the damaged skin. A natural extract was derived from the eggs of the mollusk (e-CAF) that seems to play a role on skin repair. We have investigated the potential effects of e-CAF in the differentiation of ADSC.
ADSC were cultured in the absence or presence of e-CAF (50 and 200 g/mL) for 24 hours and 7 days. Real-time cell assay, morphological, immunofluorescence, and RT-PCR techniques were used to evaluate the cell culture and expression of SMA, collagen I, and tropoelastin.
e-CAF induced significant reduction in the rate of growth of ADSC from 24 hours to 7 days of culture. e-CAF also induced bigger sizes, higher levels of cytoplasmic refringence and complexity, and a more polyhedral morphological changes in the cultured ADSC. The protein and mRNA expression of SMA was significantly increased in e-CAF-cultured ADSC.
e-CAF promotes ADSC differentiation to myofibroblasts and should be considered as a potential agent for the prevention and treatment of skin aging.
脂肪来源干细胞(ADSC)再生疗法已被用于治疗皮肤衰老。肌成纤维细胞在受损皮肤的细胞外基质组织中发挥相关作用。一种从软体动物卵中提取的天然提取物(e-CAF)似乎在皮肤修复中起作用。我们研究了e-CAF对ADSC分化的潜在影响。
将ADSC在不存在或存在e-CAF(50和200μg/mL)的情况下培养24小时和7天。使用实时细胞检测、形态学、免疫荧光和RT-PCR技术评估细胞培养以及平滑肌肌动蛋白(SMA)、I型胶原蛋白和原弹性蛋白的表达。
从培养24小时到7天,e-CAF导致ADSC的生长速率显著降低。e-CAF还使培养的ADSC尺寸变大、细胞质折光率和复杂度更高,并且形态变化更呈多面体状。在e-CAF培养的ADSC中,SMA的蛋白质和mRNA表达显著增加。
e-CAF促进ADSC向肌成纤维细胞分化,应被视为预防和治疗皮肤衰老的潜在药物。
