Acta Biomater 2023; 170:567-579. [PMID: 37683968 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2023.08.060] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2023] [Revised: 08/24/2023] [Accepted: 08/31/2023] [Indexed: 09/10/2023]
Abstract
Adipose tissue is an endocrine organ. It serves many important functions, such as energy storage, hormones secretion, and providing insulation, cushioning and aesthetics to the body etc. Adipose tissue engineering offers a promising treatment for soft tissue defects. Early adipose tissue production and long-term survival are closely associated with angiogenesis. Decellularized matrix has a natural ECM (extracellular matrix) component, good biocompatibility, and low immunogenicity. Therefore, in this study, the injectable composite hydrogels were developed to construct vascularized tissue-engineered adipose by using the pro-angiogenic effects of aortic adventitia extravascular matrix (Adv) or small intestinal submucosa (SIS), and the pro-adipogenic effects of decellularized adipose tissue (DAT). The composite hydrogels were cross-linked by genipin. The adipogenic and angiogenic abilities of composite hydrogels were investigated in vitro, and in a rat dorsal subcutaneous implant model. The results showed that DAT and SIS or Adv 1:1 composite hydrogel promoted the migration and tube formation of endothelial cells. Furthermore, DAT and SIS or Adv 1:1 composite hydrogel enhanced adipogenic differentiation of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs) through activation of PPARγ and C/EBPα. The in vivo studies further demonstrated that DAT with SIS or Adv in a 1:1 ratio also significantly promoted adipogenesis and angiogenesis. In addition, DAT with SIS or Adv in a 1:1 ratio hydrogel recruited macrophage population with enhanced M2-type macrophage polarization, suggesting a positive effect of inflammatory response on angiogenesis. In conclusion, these data suggest that the composite hydrogels of DAT with SIS or Adv in 1:1 ratio have apparent pro-adiogenic and angiogenic abilities, thus providing a promising cell-free tissue engineering biomaterial with broad clinical applications. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Decellularized adipose tissue (DAT) has emerged as an important biomaterial in adipose tissue regeneration. Early adipose tissue production and long-term survival is tightly related to the angiogenesis. The revascularization of the DAT is a key issue that needs to be solved in adipose regeneration. In this study, the injectable composite hydrogels were developed by using DAT with Adv (aortic adventitia extravascular matrix) or SIS (small intestinal submucosa) in different ratio. We demonstrated that the combination of DAT with SIS or Adv in 1:1 ratio effectively improved the proliferation of adipose stem cells and endothelial cells, and promoted greater adipose regeneration and tissue vascularization as compared to the DAT scaffold. This study provides the potential biomaterial for clinical soft tissue regeneration.

Abstract
The immune and endocrine dysfunctions of white adipose tissue are a hallmark of metabolic disorders such as obesity and type 2 diabetes. In humans, white adipose tissue comprises distinct depots broadly distributed under the skin (hypodermis) and as internal depots (visceral). Depot-specific ASCs could account for visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue properties, by regulating adipogenesis and immunomodulation. More importantly, visceral and subcutaneous depots account for distinct contributions to obesity and its metabolic comorbidities. Recently, distinct ASCs subpopulations were also described in subcutaneous adipose tissue. Interestingly, the superficial layer closer to the dermis shows hyperplastic and angiogenic capacities, whereas the deep layer is considered as having inflammatory properties similar to visceral. The aim of this focus review is to bring the light of recent discoveries into white adipose tissue heterogeneity together with the biology of distinct ASCs subpopulations and to explore adipose tissue 3D models revealing their advantages, disadvantages, and contributions to elucidate the role of ASCs in obesity development. Recent advances in adipose tissue organoids opened an avenue of possibilities to recreate the main cellular and molecular events of obesity leading to a deep understanding of this inflammatory disease besides contributing to drug discovery. Furthermore, 3D organ-on-a-chip will add reproducibility to these adipose tissue models contributing to their translation to the pharmaceutical industry.

Abstract
Adipose tissue (AT) is a highly active and plastic endocrine organ. It secretes numerous soluble molecules known as adipokines, which act locally to AT control the remodel and homeostasis or exert pleiotropic functions in different peripheral organs. Aberrant production or loss of certain adipokines contributes to AT dysfunction associated with metabolic disorders, including obesity. The AT plasticity is strictly related to tissue vascularization. Angiogenesis supports the AT expansion, while regression of blood vessels is associated with AT hypoxia, which in turn mediates tissue inflammation, fibrosis and metabolic dysfunction. Several adipokines can regulate endothelial cell functions and are endowed with either pro- or anti-angiogenic properties. Here we address the role of adipokines in the regulation of angiogenesis. A better understanding of the link between adipokines and angiogenesis will open the way for novel therapeutic approaches to treat obesity and metabolic diseases.

Engineered nanovesicles from stromal vascular fraction promote angiogenesis and adipogenesis inside decellularized adipose tissue through encapsulating growth factors. Sci Rep 2023; 13:750.

Abstract
Acellular matrix is a commonly used biomaterial in the field of biomedical engineering and revascularization is the key process to affect the effect of acellular matrix on tissue regeneration. The application of bioactive factors related to angiogenesis has been popular in the regulation of revascularization, but the immune system clearance, uncontrollable systemic reactions, and other factors make this method face challenges. Recent reports showed that engineered cells into nanovesicles can reorganize cell membranes and encapsulate cellular active factors, extending the in vitro preservation of cytokines. However, the problems of exogenous biological contamination and tumorigenicity restricted the clinical transformation and wide application of this method. Here, we for the first time engineer stromal vascular fraction (SVF) which is extracted from fat into nanovesicles (SVF-EVs) for angiogenesis in the acellular matrix. SVF-EVs not only promote the migration of vascular endothelial cells in vitro, but also facilitate the lipogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells. In vivo, SVF-EVs enhanced the retention of decellularized adipose tissue after transplanting to the subcutaneous area of nude mice. Immunofluorescence staining further showed that SVF-EVs promoted the formation of vascular networks with large lumen diameter in the grafted acellular matrix, accompanied by adipocyte regeneration peripherally. These findings reveal that SVF-EVs can be a viable method for accelerating revascularization in acellular matrix, and this process of squeezing tissue into nanovesicles shows the potential for rapid clinical transformation.

Additive manufactured macroporous chambers facilitate large volume soft tissue regeneration from adipose-derived extracellular matrix. Acta Biomater 2022; 148:90-105.

Abstract
Breast tissue engineering is a promising alternative intervention for breast reconstruction. Due to their low immunogenicity and well-preserved adipogenic microenvironment, decellularized adipose tissue (DAT) can potentially regenerate adipose tissue in vivo. However, the volume of adipose tissue regenerated from DAT can hardly satisfy the demand for breast reconstruction. Tissue engineering chamber (TEC) is an effective technique for generation of large adipose tissue volumes. However, TEC applications necessitate reoperation to remove non-degradable plastic chambers and harvest autologous tissue flaps, which prolongs the operation time and causes potential damage to donor sites. We improved the TEC strategy by combining bioresorbable polycaprolactone (PCL) chambers and decellularized adipose tissues (DAT). A miniaturized porous PCL chamber was fabricated based on scaling differences between human and rabbit chests, and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF)-loaded DAT successfully prepared. In rabbit models, a highly vascularized adipose tissue that nearly filled up the PCL chamber (5 mL) was generated de novo from 0.5 mL bFGF-loaded DAT. The newly formed tissue had significantly high expressions of adipogenic genes, compared to the endogenous adipose tissue. The concept described here can be exploited for breast tissue engineering. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Decellularized adipose tissue (DAT), which provides infiltrated cells adipogenic microenvironment, can potentially regenerate adipose tissue in vivo. Nevertheless, the volume of regenerated adipose tissue is insufficient to repair large sized tissue defect. Tissue engineering chamber (TEC) could provide a protective space for in situ regeneration of large volume tissue. Herein, a new strategy by combining biodegradable polycaprolactone chambers and basic fibroblast growth factor-loaded decellularized adipose tissue is proposed. In rabbit model, newly formed adipose tissue regenerated from DAT successfully filled the dome shaped chamber with ten folds higher volume than DAT, which is proportionally similar to women breast. This work highlighted the importance of adipogenic microenvironment and protective space for adipose tissue regeneration.
