The ability to isolate, expand, and differentiate adult stem cells into a chondrogenic lineage is an important step in the development of tissue engineering approaches for cartilage repair or regeneration for the treatment of joint injury or osteoarthritis, or for application in plastic or reconstructive surgery. Adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) provide an abundant and easily accessible source of adult stem cells for use in such regenerative approaches. This protocol describes the isolation of ASCs from liposuction aspirate, as well as cell culture conditions for growth factor based induction of ASCs into chondrocyte-like cells. These methods are similar to those used for bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells but distinct due to the unique properties of ASCs. Investigators can expect consistent ASC differentiation, allowing for slight variation due to donor and serum lot effects. Approximately 10–12 weeks are needed for ASC isolation and the characterization of chondrocyte-like cells, which is also described.
