Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Distaraction osteogenesis has been getting wide spread use. However, poor osteogenesis is one of the big promolems of the method. We think it important to supply cells which promote osteogenesis. As a cell source of regenerative medicine of bone, cells harvested from subcutaneou adipose tissue is a possible option. From subcutaneou adipose tissue, two types of cells can be harvested. One is adipose derived stem cell, the other is ceiling culture-derived cells. We revealed that both types of cell have osteogenic potential. Nonetheless, there exist the differences in epigenetic status of osteogenesis related gens between two types of cells. DNA methylation status indicated that ceiling culture derived cell is more likely to differentiate into osteoblast than adipose derived stem cells. On the other hand, there were no differences in VEZF gene, a master regulator of differentiation into vascular endothelial cell. We think it import to consider those epigenetic differences in gene therapy.
