Background: Human adult adipose tissue is an abundant source of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Moreover, it is an easily accessible site producing a considerable amount of stem cells.
Methodology/principal findings: In this study, we have selected and characterized stem cells within the stromal vascular fraction (SVF) of human adult adipose tissue with the aim of understanding their differentiation capabilities and performance. We have found, within the SVF, different cell populations expressing MSC markers--including CD34, CD90, CD29, CD44, CD105, and CD117--and endothelial-progenitor-cell markers--including CD34, CD90, CD44, and CD54. Interestingly, CD34(+)/CD90(+) cells formed sphere clusters, when placed in non-adherent growth conditions. Moreover, they showed a high proliferative capability, a telomerase activity that was significantly higher than that found in differentiated cells, and contained a fraction of cells displaying the phenotype of a side population. When cultured in adipogenic medium, CD34(+)/CD90(+) quickly differentiated into adipocytes. In addition, they differentiated into endothelial cells (CD31(+)/VEGF(+)/Flk-1(+)) and, when placed in methylcellulose, were capable of forming capillary-like structures producing a high level of VEGF, as substantiated with ELISA tests.
Conclusions/significance: Our results demonstrate, for the first time, that CD34(+)/CD90(+) cells of human adipose tissue are capable of forming sphere clusters, when grown in free-floating conditions, and differentiate in endothelial cells that form capillary-like structures in methylcellulose. These cells might be suitable for tissue reconstruction in regenerative medicine, especially when patients need treatments for vascular disease.
