Purpose: We recently reported that mature, adipocyte derived, dedifferentiated fat cells show high proliferative activity and multilineage differentiation potential. In the current study we investigated whether such cells could differentiate into a smooth muscle cell lineage and contribute to bladder tissue regeneration in a mouse bladder injury model.Materials and Methods: Human adipocyte derived dedifferentiated fat cells were cultured for 1 week under conditions favorable for smooth muscle cell differentiation and immunostained for a-smooth muscle actin. The expression of smooth muscle cell marker genes for differentiating dedifferentiated fat cells was measured by real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Green fluorescence protein labeled dedifferentiated fat cells were injected into cryo-injured bladder walls in mice. The ability of the fat cells to regenerate smooth muscle tissue was examined immunohistochemically 14 and 30 days after transplantation.Results: Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that more than 50% of the fat cells were successfully differentiated into alpha-smooth muscle actin positive cells under the optimum culture condition of a medium containing 5% fetal bovine serum and 5 ng/ml transforming growth factor-beta 1. Real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction revealed increased expression of SM22 alpha, alpha-smooth muscle actin and smooth muscle-myosin heavy chain in dedifferentiated fat cells during week 1 of differentiation culture. Cells expressing a-smooth muscle actin plus green fluorescence protein were observed at the bladder wall injection sites in mice 14 and 30 days after transplantation. alpha-Smooth muscle actin positive areas in injured bladder tissue in mice with fat cell injection were significantly larger than those in saline injected control mice.Conclusions: These findings suggest that dedifferentiated fat cells can differentiate into smooth muscle cell lineages and contribute to the regeneration of bladder smooth muscle tissue.
