Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) are an abundant cell source and provide an easy way to harvest mesenchymal stem cells, which are the focus of considerable attention in regenerative medicine. Electric fields (EF) play roles in many biological events and have been reported to promote cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation. In this study, ADSCs were treated with a direct current electric field (DCEF) of either 0 (control group) or 300 mV/mm (EF group) for six hours. RNA screening and analysis revealed that 66, 164, 26, and 1310 circRNAs, lncRNAs, miRNAs, and mRNAs, respectively, were differentially expressed in the DCEF-treated ADSCs compared with untreated ADSCs. Differentially expressed mRNAs were enriched in the MAPK signaling pathway, TNF signaling pathway, and some other pathways. ANXA1, ERRFI1, JAG1, EPHA2, PRR9, and H2AFY2 were related to the keratinocyte differentiation process. Competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks were constructed on the basis of genes in the MAPK signaling pathway. Twenty-one RNAs in the above networks were randomly chosen, and their expression was validated using qRT-PCR, which showed the same expression trends as the RNA sequencing analysis. The MAPK signaling pathway is of great importance in the ADSC processes that occur in a DCEF, including keratinocyte differentiation. Several ceRNAs may participate in the regulation of MAPK signaling. This study may give new insight into the proliferation, migration, and differentiation of ADSCs, which will be valuable for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

Infrapatellar fat pad (IPFP) can be easily obtained during knee surgery, which avoids the damage to patients for obtaining IPFP. Infrapatellar fat pad adipose-derived stem cells (IPFP-ASCs) are also called infrapatellar fat pad mesenchymal stem cells (IPFP-MSCs) because the morphology of IPFP-ASCs is similar to that of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs). IPFP-ASCs are attracting more and more attention due to their characteristics suitable to regenerative medicine such as strong proliferation and differentiation, anti-inflammation, antiaging, secreting cytokines, multipotential capacity, and 3D culture. IPFP-ASCs can repair articular cartilage and relieve the pain caused by osteoarthritis, so most of IPFP-related review articles focus on osteoarthritis. This article reviews the anatomy and function of IPFP, as well as the discovery, amplification, multipotential capacity, and application of IPFP-ASCs in order to explain why IPFP-ASC is a superior stem cell source in regenerative medicine.

Biomedical use of radiation is utilized in effective diagnostic and treatment tools, yet can introduce risks to healthy tissues. High energy photons used for diagnostic purposes have high penetration depth and can discriminate multiple tissues based on attenuation properties of different materials. Likewise, the ability to deposit energy at various targets within tumors make the use of photons effective treatment for cancer. Radiation focused on a tumor will deposit energy when it interacts with a biological structure (e.g. DNA), which will result in cell kill should repair capacity of the tissue be overwhelmed. Likewise, damage to normal, non-cancerous tissues is a consequence of radiation that can lead to acute or late, chronic toxicity profiles. Adipose derived stem cells (ADSCs) are mesenchymal stem cells that have been proven to have similar characteristics to bone marrow derived stem cells, except that they are much easier to obtain. Within the body, ADSCs act as immunomodulators and assist with the maintenance and repair of tissues. They have been shown to have excellent differentiation capability, making them an extremely viable option for stem cell therapies and regenerative medicine applications. Due to the tissue ADSCs are derived from, they are highly likely to be affected by radiation therapy, especially when treating tumors localized to structures with relatively high ADSC content (eg., breast cancer). For this reason, the purpose behind this research is to better understand how ADSCs are affected by doses of radiation comparable to a single fraction of radiation therapy. We also measured the response of ADSCs to exposure at different dose rates to determine if there is a significant difference in the response of ADSCs to radiation therapy relevant doses of ionizing radiation. Our findings indicate that ADSCs exposed to Cesium (Cs 137)-gamma rays at a moderate dose of 2Gy and either a low dose rate (1.40Gy/min) or a high dose rate (7.31Gy/min) slow proliferation rate, and with cell cycle arrest in some populations. These responses ADSCs were not as marked as previously measured in other stem cell types. In addition, our results indicate that differences in dose rate in the Gy/min range typically utilized in small animal or cell irradiation platforms have a minimal effect on the function of ADSCs. The potential ADSCs have in the space of regenerative medicine makes them an ideal candidate for study with ionizing radiation, as they are one of the main cell types to promote tissue healing.
