Abstract

Objective: To compare the curative effect of mesenchymal stem cells derived from human Wharton's Jelly(WJ-MSC) or adipose(AD-MSC) culture supernatant on endothelial cells angiogenesis. Methods: WJ-MSC and AD-MSC were isolated, identified, and the culture supernatant of stem cells was collected.The WJ-MSC or AD-MSC supernatant co-cultured with the endothelial cells. The expression levels of pro-angiogenic and anti-angiogenic genes of endothelial cells were assessed using qRT-PCR analysis, and the effects of stem cell culture supernatant on angiogenesis were evaluated by performing a tube formation assay in vitro. Results: After adding WJ-MSC and AD-MSC culture supernatant, the expression levels of pro-angiogenic genes in endothelial cells were upregulated, and the expression levels of anti-angiogenic genes were downregulated significantly in both experimental groups compared to the control group (P<0.01), and tube formation of endothelial cells was also significantly increased in both experimental groups as determined by the increase of the tube length ((43.2±9.2) mm vs (94.3±13.2)mm, (86.1±7.2)mm, P<0.01). Conclusion: The results showed that AD-MSC culture supernatant can promote endothelial cells angiogenesis and its curative ...Continue Reading
