Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Human nasal inferior turbinate-derived stem cells (hNTSCs) have been considered as a potent and useful source for regenerative medicine. To most effectively mimic the native environment of inferior turbinate could be very effective to hNTSCs biology. Thus, the purpose of this study was to evaluate partial pressure of oxygen (ppO2) and temperature in inferior turbinate.
METHODS: Ten patients were enrolled who underwent endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal skull base tumor surgery between January 2014 and December 2015. The commercially available OxyLab pO2 monitor gauges the ppO2 and temperature using a fluorescence quenching technique. Also, hNTSCs were isolated from 10 patients and cultivated under hypercapnic condition (5, 10, and 15%) to mimic hypoxic intranasal conditions.
RESULTS: The measured oxygen concentration in submucosa tissue was higher than that at the surface of the inferior turbinate and the temperature in submucosa tissue was higher than the value at the surface of inferior turbinate. The patterns of proliferation were significantly different according to hypercapnic cultivation conditions and there were statistically significant decreased proliferation rates after the exposure of higher CO2 over a period of 5 days.
CONCLUSIONS: Intranasal turbinate tissue showed the hypoxia state in concordance with the result of the other tissues or organs. However, indirectly induced hypoxia influenced the influence on the hNTSCs proliferation negatively. Further study is needed to mimic the real hypoxic state, but our results could be used to optimize the culture environment of hNTSCs, thereby producing the stem cells for regenerative therapies.
