ABSTRACT

Purpose:

To investigate the level of cellular senescence in stem cells derived from microfragmented abdominal adipose tissue harvested from patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA).

Methods:

Stem cells harvested from microfragmented abdominal adipose tissue from 20 patients with knee OA, aged 29-65 years (mean = 49.8, SD = 9.58), were analysed as a function of patient age and compared with control cells exhibiting signs of cellular senescence. Steady-state mRNA levels of a panel of genes associated with senescence were measured by qPCR. Intracellular senescence-associated proteins p16 and p21, and senescence-associated ß-galactosidase activity were measured by flow cytometry. Cellular proliferation was assessed using a 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine proliferation assay. Stemness was assessed by stem cell surface markers using flow cytometry and the capacity to undergo adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation in vitro.

Results:

No correlation was found between cellular senescence levels of the microfragmented adipose tissue-derived stem cells and patient age for any of the standard assays used to quantify senescence. The level of cellular senescence was generally low across all senescence-associated assays compared to the positive senescence control. Stemness was verified for all samples. An increased capacity to undergo adipogenic differentiation was shown with increasing patient age (p = 0.02). No effect of patient age was found for osteogenic differentiation.

Conclusions:

Autologous microfragmented adipose tissue-derived stem cells may be used in clinical trials of knee OA of patients aged 29-65 years, at least until passage 4, as they show stemness potential and negligible senescence in vitro. Level of Evidence Not applicable.
