Porcine immortalised adipose-derived stem cells

This piADSC line is an immortalised adipocyte-derived stem cell line. These cells have a rapid (<12 hours) average population doubling time, can be adapted to adherent and suspension growth conditions in serum and serum free media formulations. They are easy to handle and are suitable for both enabling and scalable cultivated fat product development.

Following enzymatic digestion of fresh porcine abdominal adipose tissue, cells were cultured on treated cell culture plastic for 2 passages to isolate and expand the ADSC population. ADSCs were immortalised by incubation with Lentivirus containing the SV40 large T antigen for 24 hours. Immortalised cells were selected by treatment of cultures with neomycin for 7 days. Lentiviral vectors are integrative so the expression of the SV40 large T antigen is constitutive. The SV40 large T antigen suppresses the expression of the cell cycle regulator P53 locking cells in the cell cycle. piADSCs test positive for the expression of the SV40 large T antigen and negative for residual Lentivirus. Following immortalisation piADSCs retain their capacity for adipogenic differentiation.

Cell characterization

piADSC growth data: Top) representative image of piADSCs and positive expression for the SV40T antigen. Bottom) Representative cell growth curve over 5 days of culture

Suspension adaptation

Adaption of piADSCs to suspension culture conditions. Left) piADSCs grown in suspension adapted conditions as aggregates. Middle) the piADSCs can be adapted to single cell suspension, with some small aggregates formed. Right) piADSCs expanding on coated microcarriers.

Differentiation characterization

Adipogenic differentiation of piADSCs. Top) Oil Red O staining of differentiated piADSC (left) compared to undifferentiated piADSCs (right). Bottom) Expression of the adipogenic marker genes ADI, LEP and PPARG in differentiated piADSCs compared to undifferentiated and the accumulation of triglycerides in differentiated piADSCs compared to undifferentiated piADSCs.
