Abstract

Autologous fat transplantation is increasingly applied in plastic and reconstructive surgery. Stromal vascular fraction cells (SVFs) combined with angiogenic factors, such as VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor A) and Ang-1 (angiogenin-1), can improve angiogenesis, which is a critical factor for graft survival. However, direct transplant with such a mixture is insufficient owing to the short half-life of angiogenic factors. In this study, we evaluated whether a double sustained release system of VEGF/ANG-1-PLGA (poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid)) microspheres plus SVFs can improve angiogenesis and graft survival after autologous fat transplantation. VEGF/ANG-1-PLGA-sustained release microspheres were fabricated by a modified double emulsion-solvent evaporation technique. Human aspirated fat was mixed with SVF suspension plus VEGF/ANG-1 sustained release microspheres (Group C), SVF suspension (Group B) alone, or Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium as the control (Group A). Eighteen immunocompromised nude mice were injected with these three mixtures subcutaneously at random positions. After 8 weeks, the mean volume of grafts was greater in the SVFs plus VEGF/ANG-1-PLGA group than in the control and SVFs groups (1.08 ± 0.069 ml v...Continue Reading
