Cisplatin-Impaired Adipogenic Differentiation of Adipose Mesenchymal Stem Cells1.
Adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) are derived from adipose tissue and can be induced in vitro to differentiate into osteoblasts, chondroblasts, myocytes, neurons, and other cell types. Cisplatin is a commonly used chemotherapy drug for cancer patients. However, the effects of cisplatin on ADSCs remain elusive. This study found that a high concentration of cisplatin affects the viability of ADSCs. First, the IC50 concentration of cisplatin was evaluated. Proliferation of ADSCs, as assessed by the XTT method, decreased immediately after treatment with various concentrations of cisplatin. ADSCs maintained mesenchymal stem cell surface markers after cisplatin treatment, as determined by flow cytometry. Upon differentiation by adding specific reagents, a significant decrease in adipogenic differentiation (by Oil red O staining) and osteogenic differentiation (by Alizarin red staining), and significant chondrogenic differentiation (by Alcian blue staining) were found after cisplatin treatment. Quantitative RT-PCR was also used in evaluating expression of specific genes to confirm differentiation. Finally, ADSCs from one donor who had received cisplatin showed significantly decreased adipogenic differentiation but increased osteogenic differentiation compared with ADSCs derived from one healthy donor. In conclusion, cisplatin affects the viability, proliferation, and differentiation of ADSCs both in vitro and in vivo via certain signaling pathways, such as p53 and Fas/FasL. The differentiation abilities of ADSCs should be evaluated before their transplantation for repairing cisplatin-induced tissue damage.
