ADSC-CM contains various secretomes and this may be a factor in it being a good resource for the treatment of skin conditions. It is also known that ADSC-CM produced in hypoxia conditions, in other words Advanced Adipose-Derived Stem cell Protein Extract (AAPE), has excellent skin regenerative properties. In this study, a human primary skin cell was devised to examine how AAPE affects human dermal fibroblast (HDF) and human keratinocyte (HK), which both play fundamental roles in skin regeneration. The promotion of collagen formation by HDFs was observed at 0.32 mg/ml of AAPE. AAPE treatment signifi- cantly stimulated stress fiber formation. DNA gene chips demonstrated that AAPE in HKs (p<0.05) affected the expression of 133 identifiable transcripts, which were associated with cell proliferation, migration, cell adhesion, and response to wounding. Twenty five identified proteins, including MMP, growth factor and cytokines such as CD54, FGF-2, GM-CSF, IL-4, IL-6, VEGF, TGF-β2, TGF-β3, MMP-1, MMP-10, and MMP-19, were contained in AAPE via antibody arrays. Thus, AAPE might activate the HK biological func- tion and induce the collagen synthesis of HDF. These results demonstrate that AAPE has the potential to be used for clinic applications aimed at skin regeneration.

Briefly, cells (2×105) were placed in 96-well plastic culture plates and incubated at 37oC in 5% Materials and Methods CO2 for 24 h, at which point 100 µL of 0.5 mg/mL MTS solution was added to each well and incubated for 4h at Stem cell culture and AAPE production 37oC.

After culture, supernatants of using CellFreezerTM (Genenmed, Seoul, Korea) for the each well were collected, and the amount of procollagen future. To produce a ADSC-CM (AAPETM), a frozen vial type I C-peptide was measured by using a type I C-peptide containing 1×106 cells were launched onto culture medium EIA kit (TakaRa, Kyoto, Japan). Finally, samples were containing 10% FBS.
