Distinct features of rabbit and human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells: implications for biotechnology and translational research

Abstract: IntroductionOwing to their similarity with humans, rabbits are useful for multiple applications in biotechnology and translational research from basic to preclinical studies. In this sense, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are known for their therapeutic potential and promising future in regenerative medicine. As many studies have been using rabbit adipose-derived MSCs (ASCs) as a model of human ASCs (hASCs), it is fundamental to compare their characteristics and understand how distinct features could affect the … Show more

“…From a morphological point of view, these cells show a fibroblast-like shape, which changes during the culture from round to spindle-shaped. Similar cell morphology has been confirmed by many studies not only in rabbits [ 38 , 39 ] but also in other animal species, such as dogs [ 40 ], pigs [ 41 ], horse [ 42 , 43 ] and humans [ 44 , 45 ]. To monitor the rate of proliferation, we evaluated the doubling time of the cell population (PDT).…”

“…In general, these cells are defined as CD29 + , CD44 + , CD73 + , CD90 + , CD105 + , CD34 − and CD45 − . A similar phenotype, even though with small differences, was confirmed also for rabbit AT-MSCs [ 39 , 50 ]. The positivity for CD49f marker (integrin α6), which is associated with cell pluripotency, is described by the present study in accordance with previous reports of [ 51 , 52 , 53 ], who claimed the expression of CD49f in MSCs from various sources.…”

“…Though mice are still the most studied and used model for basic and applied research, it has considerable limitations, in special, in early development, and in overall physiology when compared to humans [21]. Rabbits are also considered adequate models for translational research [22,23]; however, its in vitro cell culture and pluripotency acquisition still lack further robust characterization [24]. In this context, domestic animal species such as swine, small ruminants, and even companion animals such as dogs may provide an important contribution to regenerative and translational medicine.…”

“…BM-MSC-adherent cells were strongly positive for CD90, whereas Zomer et al. [27] observed that CD90 expression was lower in rabbit MSCs when compared with human MSCs. In addition, the majority of BM-MSC-adherent cells showed no expression for CD34, which is one of the most important characteristics of MSCs [28], [29].…”
