| Research Abstract |
We examined efficient induction of osteogenic and angiogenic differentiation in mature adipocyte-derived dedifferentiated fat (DFAT) cells, which were prepared from adipose tissue of patients of various ages. The results showed that DFAT cells prepared form bone marrow adipocytes exhibited high osteogenic potential regardless of donor age. Conditioned media from cultured DFAT cells under low (1%) oxygen condition showed strong angiogenic activity. DFAT cell transplantation increased bone density in an animal model of osteoporosis induced by overiectomy. In a mouse ischemic hind limb model, an increase in blood flow was observed in DFAT cell-transplanted mice, compared to that in peripheral blood mononuclear cell-transplanted mice. These results suggest that DFAT cells may be an attractive cell source for cell-based therapy in elderly patients with osteoporosis and peripheral artery disease.
