| Summary: | Human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs) are adult mesenchymal cells that have attracted the interest of clinical scientists and surgeons due to their large number of advantages including ease of access and expansion, abundance in cell culture, high proliferative rates, and lower senescence. SUMO/sentrin specific protease 1 (SENP1) is a critical protease that is required during the process of SUMOylation and deSUMOylation, which are dynamic mechanisms that influence cell cycle progression, cell proliferation, and apoptotic status. However, the contribution of SENP1 to these important cellular processes in hADSCs is largely uncharacterized and further studies in this area are required. Here, we show for the first time that after knock out SENP1 in hADSCs, their capacity to migrate and proliferate were inhibited, while apoptosis was enhanced. However, SENP1 did not significantly influence the morphology and MSC-related phenotypes of the hADSCs. These results highlight a role for SENP1 during hADSC growth, and its potential as a therapeutic target to improve the efficacy and safety of hADSCs in the clinic. |
