Abstract
Previous studies have demonstrated that EGF and bFGF maintain the stem cell properties of proliferating human adipose‐derived stromal/stem cells (hASCs) in vitro. While the expansion and cryogenic preservation of isolated hASCs are routine, these manipulations can impact their proliferative and differentiation potential. This study examined cryogenically preserved hASCs (n = 4 donors), with respect to these functions, after culture with basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) at varying concentrations (0–10 ng/ml). Relative to the control, cells supplemented with EGF and bFGF significantly increased proliferation by up to three‐fold over 7–8 days. Furthermore, cryopreserved hASCs expanded in the presence of EGF and bFGF displayed increased oil red O staining following adipogenic induction. This was accompanied by significantly increased levels of several adipogenesis‐related mRNAs: aP2, C/EBPα, lipoprotein lipase (LPL), PPARγ and PPARγ co‐activator‐1 (PGC1). Adipocytes derived from EGF‐ and bFGF‐cultured hASCs exhibited more robust functionality based on insulin‐stimulated glucose uptake and atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP)‐stimulated lipolysis. These findings indicate that bFGF and EGF can be used as culture supplements to optimize the proliferative capacity of cryopreserved human ASCs and their adipogenic differentiation potential.
