Tóm tắt

Progenitor cells have been extensively studied and therapeutically applied in tissue reconstructive therapy. Stromal vascular fraction (SVF) cells, which are derived from adipose tissue, may represent a potential source of the cells which undergo phenotypical differentiation into many lineages both in vitro as well as in vivo. The goal of this study was to check whether human SVF cells may differentiate into cardiomyocyte-like entities. Human SVF cells were induced to differentiate by their incubation in Methocult medium in the presence of SCF, IL-3 and IL-6. Morphological transformation of the cells was monitored using optical light microscope, whereas changes in expression of the genes typical for cardiac phenotype were measured by qRT-PCR. Incubation of the human SVF cells in the medium that promotes cardiomyocyte differentiation in vitro resulted in formation of myotubule-like structures accompanied by up-regulation of the myocardium-characteristic genes, such as GATA, MEF2C, MYOD1, but not ANP. Human SVF cells differentiate into cardiomyocyte-like cells in the presence of the certain set of myogenesis promoting cytokines.
