The Comparison of Adipose Stem Cell and Placental Stem Cell in Secretion Characteristics and in Facial Antiaging

Abstract EN

Background.

Mesenchymal stem cells are the most commonly used seed cells in biomedical research and tissue engineering.

Their secretory proteins have also been proven to play an important role in tissue healing.

Methods.

We isolated adipose stem cells and placental stem cells and performed analysis examining characteristics.

The secretory proteins were extracted from conditioned medium and analyzed by MALDI-TOF/TOF.

The antiaging effect of conditioned mediums was evaluated by the results of facial skin application.

Results.

Adipose stem cells and placental stem cells were found to be very similar in their surface markers and multipotency.

The specific proteins secreted from adipose stem cells were more adept at cell adhesion, migration, wound healing, and tissue remodeling, while the proteins secreted by placental stem cells were more adept at angiogenesis, cell proliferation, differentiation, cell survival, immunomodulation, and collagen degradation.

While these two types of conditioned medium could improve the facial index, the improvement of Melanin index after injection of the adipose stem cell conditioned medium was much more significant.

Conclusion.

The results suggest that the secreted proteins are ideal cell-free substances for regeneration medicine, especially in the antiaging field.
