Both bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs) and adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (ADSCs) are good sources for tissue engineering. To maximize therapeutic efficacy of MSCs, an appropriate source of MSCs should be selected according to their own inherent characteristics for future clinical application. Hence, this study was conducted to compare proliferative, differential and antiapoptosis abilities of both MSCs derived from exercised and sedentary rats under normal and hypoxia/serum deprivation conditions (H/SD). Our results showed that exercise may enhance proliferative ability and decrease adipogenic ability of BMSCs and ADSCs. However, positive effect of exercise on osteogenesis was only observed for BMSCs in either environment. Little effect was observed on the antiapoptotic ability of both MSC types. It was also suggested that biological characteristics of both types were partly changed. It is therefore believed that BMSCs derived from exercised rat on early passage may be a good cell source for bone tissue engineering.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
