Human platelet lysate enhances small lipid droplet accumulation of human MSCs through MAPK phosphorylation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Human platelet lysate (hPL) has emerged as a promising serum substitute to enhance the self-renewal and multipotency of human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Despite its potential, the specific biological mechanisms by which hPL influences MSC phenotypes remain inadequately understood.

Methods

We investigated the biological signaling activated by hPL in two common types of human MSCs: bone marrow-derived MSCs (BMSCs) and adipose-derived MSCs (ASCs). Cell adhesion and cell-matrix interaction were assessed through immunofluorescence staining and western blotting. The impact of hPL on lipid droplet formation in MSCs was thoroughly examined using oil red O/BODIPY staining, semi-quantitative analysis, and qRT-PCR. RNA sequencing and intracellular inhibition assays were
