Apart from possessing therapeutic applications themselves, ADMSCs also secrete a myriad of soluble factors which are promising candidates for treating several degenerative diseases such as osteoarthritis and neurodegenerative diseases, wound repair as well as for cosmeceutical purposes. In our research study, we successfully isolated ADMSCs in-house, now called CKC-Endeavour-1 from the lipoaspirate sample of a patient who underwent liposuction. The subsequent expansion of cells was performed in xeno-free and serum-free conditions and their characterisation was performed using tri-lineage differentiation studies. The levels of differentiation were assessed by staining and gene expression which was observed to be comparable between the in-house developed ADMSC cell line and the commercially purchased ADMSCs. Following characterisation, the secretory components from these MSCs, namely, conditioned media (ADMSC-CM) and exosomes (ADMSC-EXO) were harvested from CKC-Endeavour-1 under xeno-free, serum-free, and supplement-free conditions followed by lyophilisation in order to attempt to prolong its shelf-life. The comprehensive analysis of the secretome profile of ADMSC-CM using carried out using cytokine array and demonstrated the presence of 105 cytokines and growth factors. Also, clinical grade Izon columns were used to isolate the exosomes from ADMSC-CM obtaining exosomes in the size range of <200nm, analysed using nanoparticle tracking analysis. Overall, our study developed an ADMSC cell line, CKC-Endeavour-1, along with their CM and exosome (EXO) products under clinically safe conditions. Additionally, we have obtained a comprehensive understanding of the secreted factors present in the ADMSC-CM which could be further explored in detail to tap the best therapeutic benefits from them.</p>","PeriodicalId":17155,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Stem Cells & Regenerative Medicine","volume":"18 1","pages":"2-10"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2022-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9379359/pdf/jsrm_18_02.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40636729","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently, adipose tissue has been an object of interest for many researchers and medical experts due to the fact that it represents a novel and potential cell source for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine purposes. Stromal vascular fraction (SVF), for instance, which is an adipose tissue-derivative, has generated optimistic results in many scenarios. Its biological potential can be harnessed and administered into injured tissues, particularly areas in which standard healing is disrupted. This is a typical feature of osteoarthritis (OA), a common degenerative joint disease which is outlined by persistent inflammation and destruction of surrounding tissues. SVF is known to carry a large amount of stem and progenitor cells, which are able to perform self-renewal, differentiation, and proliferation. Furthermore, they also secrete several cytokines and several growth factors, effectively sustaining immune modulatory effects and halting the escalated pro-inflammatory status of OA. Although SVF has shown interesting results throughout the medical community, additional research is still highly desirable in order to further elucidate its potential regarding musculoskeletal disorders, especially OA.</p>","PeriodicalId":17155,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Stem Cells & Regenerative Medicine","volume":"18 1","pages":"11-20"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2022-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9379357/pdf/jsrm_18_11.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40636728","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
