Background: Human adipose-derived stem cells (hASCs) play an important role in regenerative medicine.
Objective: Exploring the mechanism of Rg1 in the promotion of the proliferation and adipogenic differentiation of hASCs is important in regenerative medicine research.
Methods: To observe ginsenoside Rg1 in promoting the proliferation and adipogenic differentiation of hASCs, Rg1 medium at different concentrations was established and tested using the cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, oil red O staining, alizarin red, and alcian blue. Compared to the control, differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened via DEG analysis, which was carried out in the Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses. To explore the relationship among mRNA, long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) and microRNA (miRNA), we constructed a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network.
Results: In this study, Rg1 was observed to promote the proliferation and adipogenic differentiation of hASCs. Additionally, enriched BPs and KEGG pathways may be involved in the promotion process, where FXR1 and Lnc-GAS5-AS1 were found to be regulatory factors. The regulatory network suggested that Rg1 could regulate the adipocytokine signaling pathway and IL-17 signaling pathway via FXR1 and Lnc-GAS5-AS1, which served as the mechanism encompassing the promotion of Rg1 on the proliferation and adipogenic differentiation of hASCs.
Conclusion: A comprehensive transcriptional regulatory network related to the promotion ability of Rg1 was constructed, revealing mechanisms regarding Rg1's promotion of the proliferation and adipogenic differentiation of hASCs. The present study provides a theoretical basis for optimizing the function of hASCs.

Background/aims: Human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSC) are multipotent adult cells commonly used in regenerative medicine as advanced therapy medicinal products. The expansion of these cells in xeno-free supplements is highly encouraged by regulatory agencies due to safety concerns. However, the number of supplements with robust performance and consistency for hMSC expansion are limited.

Introduction: Periodontal diseases are prevalent among middle-aged and elderly individuals. There's still no satisfactory solution for tooth loss caused by periodontal diseases. Human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) is a distinctive subgroup of mesenchymal stem cells, which play a crucial role in periodontal supportive tissues, but their application value hasn't been fully explored yet.

Aspirin (ASA) is one of the most used medications worldwide and has shown various effects on cellular processes, including stem cell differentiation. However, the effect of ASA on adipogenesis of adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ASCs) remains largely unknown. Considering the potential application of ASCs in regenerative medicine and cell-based therapies, this study investigates the effects of ASA on adipogenic differentiation in human ASCs.

Urine-derived mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (USCs) could be a valuable source of cells in regenerative medicine because urine can be easily collected non-invasively. In this paper, USCs were isolated from both healthy dogs and dogs affected by chronic kidney disease (CKD), and the efficacy of collection methods (spontaneous micturition, bladder catheterization, and cystocentesis) were compared. Isolated cells were cultured in the presence of platelet-rich plasma and studied for their proliferative capacity (growth curve, doubling time, and colony forming unit), differentiation properties, expression of mesenchymal markers, and Klotho protein.

GATA-3 is a master regulator of preadipocyte differentiation and function. Pharmacological or genetic targeting of GATA-3 will allow us to understand the function of GATA-3 in regulating metabolism, insulin signaling, and inflammation. Pyrrothiogatain, a novel small molecule inhibitor of GATA family proteins, has emerged as a promising tool for modulating GATA-3 activity.
