Abstract

Background: Human adipose-derived stem cells (hASCs) play an important role in regenerative medicine.

Objective: Exploring the mechanism of Rg1 in the promotion of the proliferation and adipogenic differentiation of hASCs is important in regenerative medicine research.

Methods: To observe ginsenoside Rg1 in promoting the proliferation and adipogenic differentiation of hASCs, Rg1 medium at different concentrations was established and tested using the cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, oil red O staining, alizarin red, and alcian blue. Compared to the control, differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened via DEG analysis, which was carried out in the Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses. To explore the relationship among mRNA, long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) and microRNA (miRNA), we constructed a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network.

Results: In this study, Rg1 was observed to promote the proliferation and adipogenic differentiation of hASCs. Additionally, enriched BPs and KEGG pathways may be involved in the promotion process, where FXR1 and Lnc-GAS5-AS1 were found to be regulatory factors. The regulatory network suggested that Rg1 could regulate the adipocytokine signaling pathway and IL−17 signaling pathway via FXR1 and Lnc-GAS5-AS1, which served as the mechanism encompassing the promotion of Rg1 on the proliferation and adipogenic differentiation of hASCs.

Conclusion: A comprehensive transcriptional regulatory network related to the promotion ability of Rg1 was constructed, revealing mechanisms regarding Rg1’s promotion of the proliferation and adipogenic differentiation of hASCs. The present study provides a theoretical basis for optimizing the function of hASCs.

Keywords: Human adipose-derived stem cells, ginsenoside Rg1, proliferation, adipogenic differentiation, regenerative medicine, theoretical basis.
