Congenital anomalies, diseases, and injuries may result in osteochondral damage. Recently, a big hope has been given to somatic stem cells (SSCs) which are characterized as undifferentiated cells with an ability of long-term self-renewing and plasticity. They are adherent with a fibroblast-like morphology in vitro and express various surface markers (e.g. CD29, CD73, CD90, and CD105), but they are negative for CD31, CD34, CD45, and HLA-DR. SSCs secrete various bioactive molecules, which are involved in processes of regeneration. The main goal of the present study was the characterization and comparison of biological properties of SSCs obtained from adipose tissue, dental pulp, and urine concerning osteochondral regeneration. SSCs were maintained in an appropriate growth medium up to the third passage and were analyzed by light and electron microscope. The immunophenotype was analyzed by flow cytometry. The kinetics of proliferation was measured by MTT assay. Human Cytokine/Chemokine Multiplex Assay was used, and SSCs secretory profile was measured by Luminex MAGPIX® Instrument. Pellet cultures and a chondrogenic medium were used to induce chondrogenic differentiation. Osteogenic differentiation was induced by the osteogenic medium. Chondrogenic and osteogenic differentiation was analyzed by real-time PCR. SSCs had similar fibroblast-like morphology. They have similar kinetics of proliferation. SSCs shared the expression CD29, CD44, CD73, CD90, and CD105. They lack expression of CD29 and CD34. SSCs secerned similar levels of IL10 and IL18 while differing in IFN-gamma, IL6, IL8, MCP-1, and RANTES production. SSCs possess a similar capacity for chondrogenic differentiation but slightly differ in osteogenic differentiation. In conclusion, it can be emphasized that SSCs from adipose tissue, dental pulp, and urine share the majority of cellular characteristics typical for SSCs and have great potential to be used in osteochondral tissue regeneration.

Recently published studies suggest that the paracrine substances released by mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are the primary motive behind the therapeutic action reported in these cells. Pre-clinical and clinical research on MSCs has produced promising outcomes. Furthermore, these cells are generally safe for therapeutic use and may be extracted from a variety of anatomical regions. Recent research has indicated, however, that transplanted cells do not live long and that the advantages of MSC treatment may be attributable to the large diversity of bioactive substances they create, which play a crucial role in the control of essential physiological processes. Secretome derivatives, such as conditioned media or exosomes, may provide significant benefits over cells in terms of manufacture, preservation, handling, longevity of the product, and potential as a ready-to-use biologic product. Despite their immunophenotypic similarities, the secretome of MSCs appears to vary greatly depending on the host's age and the niches in which the cells live. The secretome's effect on multiple biological processes such as angiogenesis, neurogenesis, tissue repair, immunomodulation, wound healing, anti-fibrotic, and anti-tumor for tissue maintenance and regeneration has been discovered. Defining the secretome of cultured cultivated MSC populations by conditioned media analysis will allow us to assess its potential as a novel treatment approach. This review will concentrate on accumulating data from pre-clinical and clinical trials pointing to the therapeutic value of the conditioned medium. At last, the necessity of characterizing the conditioned medium for determining its potential for cell-free treatment therapy will be emphasized in this study.
