The purpose of this study was to compare the neuronal differentiation potentials of these cells. In addition, to examine the applicability of these cells for autologous neuronal regeneration, the mouse hind limbs were assessed for neurological function after adipose tissue was harvested from the inguinal and interscapular regions. Adipose-MSCs were isolated from WAT of the inguinal subcutaneous regions and BAT of the interscapular regions in 6-week-old female C57BL/6J mice. The expression of cell-surface markers on the adipose-MSCs was examined by flowcytometry. The markers examined were CD90, Sca1, CD34, and CD45. Neuronal differentiation was assessed by immunocytochemistry using NeuN as a mature neuron marker. MSCs derived from WAT and BAT displayed similar immunophenotypes. Both cell populations differentiated into NeuNpositive cells( 16.2% ± 1.0% of the WAT-MSCs and 14.7% ± 2.4% of the BAT-MSCs) in vitro. Harvesting the adipose tissue did not affect the neurological properties of the hind limbs. These findings indicate that both WAT-MSCs and BAT-MSCs may be attractive cells for autologous euronalregeneration.}, pages = {12--20}, title = {Neuronal differentiation potential of mouse mesenchymal stem cells derived from white versus brown adipose tissue}, volume = {71}, year = {2020} }
