Abstract

Mesenchymal stem cells derived from bone marrow and adipose tissue are being considered for use in neural repair because they can differentiate after appropriate induction in culture into neurons and glia. The question we asked was if neurospheres could be harvested from adipose-derived stem cells and if they then could differentiate in culture to peripheral glial-like cells. Here, we demonstrate that adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells can form nestin-positive non-adherent neurosphere cellular aggregates when cultured with basic fibroblast growth factor and epidermal growth factor. Dissociation of these neurospheres and removal of mitogens results in expression of the characteristic Schwann cell markers S100 and p75 nerve growth factor receptor and GFAP. The simultaneous expression of these glia markers are characteristic features of Schwann cells and olfactory ensheathing cells which have unique properties regarding remyelination and enhancement of axonal regeneration. When co-cultured with dorsal root ganglion neurons, the peripheral glial-like cells derived from adipose mesenchymal stem cells aligned with neuritis and stimulated neuritic outgrowth. These results indicate that neurospheres can be generated from adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells, and upon mitogen withdrawal can differentiate into peripheral glial cells with neurotrophic effects.
