Abstract

This characteristics of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (Ad-MSCs) can be selectively enhanced by altering the culture environment. We evaluated the effects of gelatin on Ad-MSCs when used in combination with culture media. Ad-MSCs were initially cultured in 0%, 0.5%, 1%, 2%, and 4% gelatin in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) to evaluate cell proliferation. This expression of inflammatory, antiinflammatory, antioxidant, and osteogenic markers was then assessed by rtPCR in Ad-MSCs cultured in 0.5% gelatin in DMEM (GMSCs), and without gelatin (MSCs), for 5 and 10 days. We found that 0.5% gelatin significantly increased the proliferation rate of Ad-MSCs after 24 h of incubation, up until 72 h. GMSCs had upregulated IL-10, VEGF, and HO-1 after 5 and 10 days of incubation, while IL-6 and TNF-α were upregulated after 5 days and then significantly decreased after 10 days of incubation. The osteogenic factors BMP-7, AXIN, and β-catenin were significantly upregulated in GMSCs after 5 and 10 days. Notably, there was 5- to 8-fold higher expression of BMP-7 in GMSCs than in MSCs. We conclude that culture medium containing 0.5% gelatin enhances the proliferation rate, induces immunosuppression, and activates BMP-7 and the wnt...Continue Reading

Adherens Junctions

An adherens junction is defined as a cell junction whose cytoplasmic face is linked to the actin cytoskeleton. They can appear as bands encircling the cell (zonula adherens) or as spots of attachment to the extracellular matrix (adhesion plaques). Adherens junctions uniquely disassemble in uterine epithelial cells to allow the blastocyst to penetrate between epithelial cells. Discover the latest research on adherens junctions here.

Cadherins and Catenins

Cadherins (named for "calcium-dependent adhesion") are a type of cell adhesion molecule (CAM) that is important in the formation of adherens junctions to bind cells with each other. Catenins are a family of proteins found in complexes with cadherin cell adhesion molecules of animal cells: alpha-catenin can bind to β-catenin and can also bind actin. β-catenin binds the cytoplasmic domain of some cadherins.
