Background: As hand surgeons, tendon injuries and lacerations are a particularly difficult problem to treat, as poor healing potential and adhesions hamper optimal recovery. Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) have been shown to aid in rat Achilles tendon healing after a puncture defect, and this model can be used to study tendon healing in the upper extremity. We hypothesized that ADSCs cultured with growth differentiation factor 5 (GDF5) and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) would improve tendon healing after a transection injury. Methods: Rat Achilles tendons were transected and then left either unrepaired or repaired. Both groups were treated with a hydrogel alone, a hydrogel with ADSCs, or a hydrogel with ADSCs that were cultured with GDF5 and PDGF prior to implantation. Tissue harvested from the tendons was evaluated for gene expression of several genes known to play an important role in successful tendon healing. Histological examination of the tendon healing was also performed. Results: In both repaired and unrepaired tendons, those treated with ADSCs cultured with GDF5/PDGF prior to implantation showed the best tendon fiber organization, the smallest gaps, and the most organized blood vessels. Treatment with GDF5/PDGF increased expression of the protenogenesis gene SOX9, promoted cell-to-cell connections, improved cellular proliferation, and enhanced tissue remodeling. Conclusions: Adipose-derived stem cells cultured with GDF5/PDGF prior to implantation can promote tendon repair by improving cellular proliferation, tenogenesis, and vascular infiltration. This effect results in a greater degree of organized tendon healing.

Embryonal carcinoma and embryonic stem cells expressed a novel form of platelet-derived growth factor receptor mRNA which was approximately 1,100 base pairs shorter than the 5.3-kilobase (kb) transcript expressed in fibroblasts and other cell types. The 4.2-kb stem cell transcript was initiated within the genomic region immediately upstream of exon 6 of the 5.3-kb transcript and therefore lacked the first five exons, which encode much of the extracellular domain of the receptor expressed in fibroblasts. In stem cells, the short form was predominant, although both forms were present at low levels. Following differentiation in vitro, expression levels of the long form increased dramatically. These findings suggest that during early embryogenesis, a stem cell-specific promoter is used in a stage- and cell type-specific manner to express a form of the platelet-derived growth factor receptor that lacks much of the extracellular domain and may function independently of ligand.

The potential to differentiate into different cell lines, added to the easy and cost-effective method of extraction, makes adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) an object of interest in lymphedema treatment. Our study’s goal was to conduct a comprehensive systematic review of the use of ADSCs in lymphatic tissue engineering and regeneration. On July 23, 2019, using PubMed/MEDLINE, Cochrane Clinical Answers, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Embase databases, we conducted a systematic review of published literature on the use of ADSCs in lymphatic tissue engineering and regeneration. There were no language or time frame limitations, and the following search strategy was applied: ((Adipose stem cell) OR Adipose-derived stem cell)) AND ((Lymphedema) OR Breast Cancer Lymphedema). Only original research manuscripts were included. Fourteen studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Eleven studies were experimental (in vitro or in vivo in animals), and only three were clinical. Publications on the topic demonstrated that ADSCs promote lymphangiogenesis, and its effect could be enhanced by modulation of vascular endothelial growth factor-C, interleukin-7, prospero homeobox protein 1, and transforming growth factor-β1. Pilot clinical studies included 11 patients with breast cancer-related lymphedema, and no significant side effects were present at 12-month follow-up. Literature on the use of ADSCs in lymphatic tissue engineering and regeneration demonstrated promising data. Clinical evidence is still in its infancy, but the scientific community agrees that ADSCs can be useful in regenerative lymphangiogenesis. Data collected in this review indicate that unprecedented advances in lymphedema treatment can be anticipated in the upcoming years.
