Adipose-derived stromal vascular fraction (SVF) cells have been shown to self-associate to form vascular structures under both in vitro and in vivo conditions. The angiogenic (new vessels from existing vessels) and vasculogenic (new vessels through self-assembly) potential of the SVF cell population may provide a cell source for directly treating (i.e., point of care without further cell isolation) ischemic tissues. However the correct dosage of adipose SVF cells required to achieve a functional vasculature has not been established. Accordingly, in vitro and in vivo dose response assays were performed evaluating the SVF cell vasculogenic potential. Serial dilutions of freshly isolated rat adipose SVF cells were plated on growth factor reduced Matrigel and vasculogenesis, assessed as cellular tube-like network assembly, was quantified after 3 days of culture. This in vitro vasculogenesis assay indicated that rat SVF cells reached maximum network length at a concentration of 2.5 × 105 cells/ml and network maintained at the higher concentrations tested. The same concentrations of rat and human SVF cells were used to evaluate vasculogenesis in vivo. SVF cells were incorporated into collagen gels and subcutaneously implanted into Rag1 immunodeficient mice. The 3D confocal images of harvested constructs were evaluated to quantify dose dependency of SVF cell vasculogenesis potential. Rat- and human-derived SVF cells yielded a maximum vasculogenic potential at 1 × 106 and 4 × 106 cells/ml, respectively. No adverse reactions (e.g., toxicity, necrosis, tumor formation) were observed at any concentration tested. In conclusion, the vasculogenic potential of adipose-derived SVF cell populations is dose dependent.
