Isolation, cultivation and identification of adipose-derived stem cell in bovines

Abstract:

To obtain bovine adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs), bovine ADSCs were digested in collagenase type I solution. The growth curve of ADSCs was checked by cell counting. Chromosome analysis was checked. The molecular markers of ADSCs were detected with immunofluoresence staining. The morphology of ADSCs was identical to fibroblast 1ike and the cells showed active proliferative ability. Vimentin, CD49d and CD13 antigens were detected, but CD34 antigen was negative. Alkaline phosphatase activity was greater in ADSCs during calcification, and Alizarin Red staining was positive. Lipid droplets were apparent around cells during adipogenesis, and Oil Red-O staining was positive. The results demonstrated that ADSCs could be used as seed cells for tissue engineering due to the simple isolation, differentiation and stable and active growth.
