Expansion of ADSCs in different O2 levels affect 20S proteasome status and ADSCs' capacity to differentiate.
A, Proteasome 20S absolute quantity (% w/w total proteins) measured by the LC-SRM method in five patients derived primary ADSCs cultivated at three different levels of O2 (1%, 5%, and 20%). B, Proteasome 20S chymotrypsin-like activity measured by the in vitro degradation of the LLVY-AMC peptide by proteasome in ADSCs lysates after cultivation in three different levels of O2 (1%, 5%, and 20%) (n = 5 patients − 3 technical replicates). C, Relative content of standard and immuno catalytic 20S proteasome subunits measured by the method in five patients derived primary ADSCs cultivated at three different levels of O2 (1%, 5%, and 20%). D, Differentiation potential of human ADSCs from different patients under different levels of O2 (1%, 5%, and 20%). The immunoproteasome inhibitor ONX-0914 alters the differentiation capacity of ADSCs at 5 and 20% O2 concentrations. Adipogenic differentiation is indicated by Oil red O staining.
