Multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) integrate hormone and neuromediator signaling to coordinate tissue homeostasis, tissue renewal and regeneration. To facilitate the investigation of MSC biology, stable immortalized cell lines are created (e.g., commercially available ASC52telo). However, the ASC52telo cell line has an impaired adipogenic ability and a depressed response to hormones, including 5-HT, GABA, glutamate, noradrenaline, PTH and insulin compared to primary cells. This markedly reduces the potential of the ASC52telo cell line in studying the mechanisms of hormonal control of MSC's physiology. Here, we have established a novel immortalized culture of adipose tissue-derived MSCs via forced telomerase expression after lentiviral transduction. These immortalized cell cultures demonstrate high proliferative potential (up to 40 passages), delayed senescence, as well as preserved primary culture-like functional activity (sensitivity to hormones, ability to hormonal sensitization and differentiation) and immunophenotype up to 17-26 passages. Meanwhile, primary adipose tissue-derived MSCs usually irreversibly lose their properties by 8-10 passages. Observed characteristics of reported immortalized human MSC cultures make them a feasible model for studying molecular mechanisms, which regulate the functional activities of these cells, especially when primary cultures or commercially available cell lines are not appropriate.
