Abstract

Fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-2 induces mitogenesis, angiogenesis and adipogenesis. In this study, the adipogenesis-inducing effects of FGF-2 combined with bilayer artificial dermis in mice were evaluated. FGF-2-impregnated bilayer artificial dermis composed of collagen matrix, PELNAC (Gunze Corp., Osaka, Japan) was implanted subcutaneously into the thoracic region of mice. At 1, 2, 3, and 4 weeks, samples were collected for H&E staining, von Willebrand factor immunostaining, and perilipin immunostaining to examine adipose tissue localization and angiogenesis. The collagen matrix-implanted group without the addition of FGF-2 was prepared as a control. At 2 weeks after the implantation of FGF-2 combined with dermal substitutes, adipocytes appeared in the collagen fibers. At 3-4 weeks, a fat pad was generated with neovascularization. The thickness of the fat pad had significantly increased at 2, 3, and 4 weeks. The remaining collagen was decreased by absorption over time. In the control group, no fat pad was newly formed. This study has identified a promising method to enhance adipogenic effects in the murine subcutis, representing a potential technique for soft tissue reconstruction.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
