Objective To look for a method for isolation and cultivation of mesenchymal stem cells from human adipose tissue in vitro. Method The adipose tissue was obtained from the omentum of abdominal surgery patients under the aseptic condition. The fat then was minced and digested with 5ml 0 25% trypin for 30 minutes in a 37℃ water bath under constant agitation. The layer with monoclear cells was aspirated and supplemented with albumin, then was cultured in DMEM with 15% calf serum. Immunocytochemistry was used to determine the surface molecule CD44, HLA DR and VWF. Result There was a large amount of mesenchymal stem cells in human adipose tissue. Immunocytochemical staining showed that most of the cultured cells were CD44 positive, few HLA DR positive and VWF positive, indicating that most of the cultured cells were MSC, and the others were fibroblasts and endothelial cells. Conclusion A simple and convenient method to isolate and culture the adipose tissue derived mesenchymal stem cells was successfully established, providing the foundation for the future use of ADMSCs in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases.
