Abstract
Stromal vascular fraction (SVF) cells were used to increase the efficacy of a newly formed adipose tissue in a collagen gel in vitro. However, the outcome of the seeded cells in the collagen gel in vivo remains unknown. We traced the SVF cells in the host tissue and evaluated the efficacy of SVF for fat tissue engineering. The aggregates implanted in the experimental and control groups were prepared by mixing SVF with the collagen gel and Dulbecco's modified Eagle medium with the collagen gel, respectively. The aggregates were implanted using a subcutaneous injection into the backs of immunodeficient mice. The aggregates were harvested 1, 2, 4, and 6 months after implantation; and 9 mice were euthanized each time. Macroscopic changes in the volume and wet weight of the aggregates were assessed. The formation of adipose tissue was studied using hematoxylin and eosin and Nile red staining. The origin and survival of adipocytes in the aggregates were examined through the immunostaining of leptin antibodies, DNA assay, and tracing of SVF cells by 1,1'-dioctadecyl-3,3,3',3'- tetramethylindocarbocyanine perchlorate labeling. The formation of adipose tissue was observed in all of the aggregates. Implanted human SVF cells remained in t...Continue Reading
