Abstract:
In recent years, examination and comparison of the biological characteristics of bone marrow- and adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from various perspectives have come into the focus of stem cell research, as these cells should be well characterized in order to utilize them in future cellular therapies. Therefore, in the present study, surface protein markers and the skeletal myogenic differentiation potential of rat bone marrow- and adipose-derived MSCs were examined. The expression of CD44, CD45, CD73, and CD90 on bone marrow- and adipose-derived MSCs was characterized using flow cytometry. Subsequently, the stem cells were differentiated into myogenic lineages, and the expression of the skeletal myogenic markers MyoD1, Myog, and Myh2 was studied in cells using real time polymerase chain reaction and immunofluorescence. Our results reveal that the pattern of CD marker expression differs between these 2 types of MSCs to some extent, whereas no significant difference was observed with respect to their myogenic differentiation potential. Therefore, we concluded that despite the differences observed in the biological features of these 2 types of MSCs, their myogenic potential appears to be similar, and that adipose-derived stem cells may be useful in skeletal muscle tissue engineering, due to their easy isolation and capacity for rapid expansion in a short time span.
