Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have generated a great deal of interest in the field of regenerative medicine. Adipose-derived stromal cell (AdSC) are known to exhibit extensive proliferation potential and can undergo multilineage differentiation, sharing similar characteristics to bone marrow-derived MSC. We assessed the degree to which AdSC affect the proliferation of prostate cancer (PCa) cell (LNCaP, PC3, and PC3M-luc2) (control: NHDF). Both in vitro and in vivo experiments exhibited the inhibitory effect of AdSC on PCa cell proliferation inducing apoptosis and PCa growth. Since autologous AdSC can be easily isolated from adipose tissue without any ethical concerns, we suggest that therapy with these cells could be a novel approach for patients with PCa.
