Immortalized Mouse Subcutaneous Adipose Multipotent Mesenchymal Cells (m17.ASC-GFP) were genetically modified by lentiviral vectors carrying green fluorescent protein(GFP). When injected in the spleen of NOD/SCID-gnull monocrotaline-treated mice, m17.ASC-GFP cells efficiently engrafted in the liver, candidating this cell line as a valuable stem cell model.?br />It stably expresses the stem cell markers Sca-1, c-Kit/CD117, nestin, nucleostemin, CD44, and CD106, but is negative for the embryo stem cell markers Nanog, Oct4, and Sox2. The cells were endowed with multipotency and can be induced to differentiate toward osteogenic, chondrogenic, adipogenic, and cardiogenic phenotypes. It displays a normal karyotype and stable telomeres, neither proliferates when plated in soft agar nor gives rise to tumors when injected subcutaneously in NOD/SCID-g null mice. The cell line is thus recommended as a valuable tool for a number of applications in ex vivo tissue engineering to study the differentiation mechanisms involved in tissue repair, as well as a model for both pharmacological and toxicological studies. RT-PCR and cytofluorimetry were performed on the cDNA from the cells to confirm the expression of stem cell markers.

Notes
1. Visually examine the packaging containers for signs of leakage or breakage. 2. Immediately transfer frozen cells from dry ice packaging to a temperature below -130?, preferably in liquid nitrogen vapor phase storage, until ready for use.To ensure the highest level of viability, thaw the vial and initiate culture as soon as possible upon receipt. If continued storage is desired, the vial should only be stored below -130? or in liquid nitrogen vapor phase. Do not store at -70?, as it will result in loss of viability.

Thawing Protocol
1. Thaw cells quickly in a 37? water bath while agitating gently (maximum 2 minutes). The vial cap should be kept above the water level to minimize the risk of contamination. 2. Decontaminate the vial by spraying and wiping the exterior of the vial with 70% ethanol. From this point onwards, all operations should be strictly carried out inside a biological safety cabinet using aseptic conditions. 3. Transfer the cell suspension into a 15ml sterile conical tube containing 5ml of pre-warmed, complete growth media. Centrifuge cells at 125xg for 5-7 minutes. 4. Aspirate the supernatant without disturbing the cell pellet. Re-suspend the cell pellet in the recommended pre-warmed, complete growth media and dispense into a T25 culture flask. 5. Incubate the cells at the recommended conditions.
Subculture Protocol
Volumes given below are for a T75 flask; proportionally increase or decrease the volume as required per culture vessel size. Subculture cells once the culture vessel is 80% confluent. 1. Aspirate the culture media, and add 2-3ml of pre-warmed 0.25% Trypsin-EDTA to the culture vessel. 2. Observe the cells under a microscope to confirm detachment (typically within 2-10 minutes). Cells that are difficult to detach can be put in 37?, for several minutes to facilitate detachment. 3. Neutralize Trypsin-EDTA by adding an equal volume of the complete growth media into the culture vessel. 4. Transfer the culture suspension into a sterile centrifuge tube, and centrifuge at 125xg for 5 minutes. The actual centrifuge duration and speed may vary depending on the cell type. 5. Aspirate the supernatant, and re-suspend the pellet with pre-warmed fresh complete growth media. Add appropriate aliquots of the cell suspension to new culture vessels, as desired. 6. Incubate the cells at the recommended conditions.
