title: In vitro osteogenic potential of canine adipose derived stem cells.
abstract: Stem cells based tissue engineering is a promising approach for the regenerative treatment of various tissue disorders. Adipose tissue is an abundant source of cells which are competent of multipotential differentiation, called adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs). The present study was contemplated with the objective of assessing the osteogenic differentiation potential of the canine ADSCs in vitro. The canine ADSCs were isolated from adipose tissue around falciform ligament and abdominal subcutaneous fat. Yield of viable ADSCs from both the tissue sources was found to be nearly equivalent. Tissue subjected to trypsinization yielded more viable, but lesser number of cells as compared to collagenase treatment. The stemness of ADSCs was affirmed by reverse transcriptase PCR which exhibited the expression of stem cell specific genes, OCT4 and NANOG.The monolayer of ADSCs was subjected to differentiation into adipogenic and osteogenic lineages. Assessment of the osteogenic potential of ADSCs in vitro opens a new therapeutic horizon for development of in vivo strategies employing autologous stem cell based tissue regeneration in orthopedics.
