FASEB J 2024; 38:e23520.

Abstract
Fat grafting is a promising technique for correcting soft tissue abnormalities, but oil cyst formation and graft fibrosis frequently impede the therapeutic benefit of fat grafting. The lipolysis of released oil droplets after grafting may make the inflammation and fibrosis in the grafts worse; therefore, by regulating adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) via Atglistatin (ATG) and Forskolin (FSK), we investigated the impact of lipolysis on fat grafts in this study. After being removed from the mice and chopped into small pieces, the subcutaneous fat from wild-type C57BL/6J mice was placed in three different solutions for two hours: serum-free cell culture medium, culture medium+FSK (50 μM), and culture medium+ATG (100 μM). Following centrifugation to remove water and free oil droplets, 0.3 mL of the fat particles per mouse was subcutaneously injected into the back of mice. Additionally, the subcutaneous fat grafting area was immediately injected with PBS (control group), ATG (30 mg/kg), and FSK (15 mg/kg) following fat transplantation. Detailed cellular events after grafting were investigated by histological staining, real-time polymerase chain reaction, immunohistochemistry/immunofluorescent staining, and quantification. Two weeks after grafting, grafts treated with ATG showed lower expression of ATGL and decreased mRNA levels of TNFα and IL-6. In contrast, grafts treated with ATG showed elevated expression levels of IL-4 and IL-13 compared to the control grafts. In addition, fewer apoptotic cells and oil cysts were observed in ATG grafts. Meanwhile, a higher CD206+/CD68+ ratio of macrophages and more CD31+ vascular endothelial cells existed in the 2-month ATG grafts. In comparison to the control, ATG treatment improved the volume retention of grafts, and decreased graft fibrosis and oil cyst formation. By preventing oil droplet lipolysis, pharmacological suppression of ATGL shielded adipocytes from lipotoxicity following grafting. Additionally, ATG ameliorated the apoptosis and inflammation brought on by adipocyte death and oil droplet lipolysis in grafted fat. These all indicate that lipolysis inhibition improved transplanted fat survival and decreased the development of oil cysts and graft fibrosis, offering a potential postoperative pharmacological intervention for bettering fat grafting.

Aesthetic Plast Surg 2023; 47:2117-2129. [PMID: 37400586 DOI: 10.1007/s00266-023-03457-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2023] [Accepted: 06/08/2023] [Indexed: 07/05/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cryopreserved fat has limited clinical applications due to its rapid absorption, high degree of fibrosis, and risk of complications after grafting. Many studies have verified that Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes (ADSC-Exos) can improve fresh fat graft survival. This study assessed whether ADSC-Exos could improve the survival of cryopreserved fat grafts. METHODS Exosomes were isolated from human ADSCs were subcutaneously engrafted with adipose tissues stored under different conditions (fresh; cryopreserved for 1 month) into the backs of BALB/c nude mice (n = 24), and exosomes or PBS were administered weekly. Grafts were harvested at 1, 2, 4, and 8 weeks, and fat retention rate, histologic, and immunohistochemical analyses were conducted. RESULTS At 1, 2, and 4 weeks after the transfer, cryopreserved fat grafts in groups of exosome-treated showed better fat integrity, fewer oil cysts, and reduced fibrosis. Further investigations of macrophage infiltration and neovascularization revealed that those exosomes increased the number of M2 macrophages at 2 and 4 weeks (p<0.05), but had limited impact on vascularization (p>0.05). It's important to note that no significant differences (p>0.05) were observed between the two groups in both histological and immunohistochemical evaluations at 8 weeks post-transplantation. CONCLUSIONS This study suggests that ADSC-Exos could improve the survival of cryopreserved fat grafts in the short term (within 4 weeks), but the overall improvement was poor (after 8 weeks). This suggests that the utility of using ADSC-Exos to treat cryopreserved adipose tissue grafts is limited.

Abstract
Background Cell-assisted lipotransfer (CAL), a modified adipose-derived stromal/stem cells (ADSCs)-based approach for autologous fat grafting that is an ideal option for soft tissue augmentation, has many shortcomings in terms of retention and adverse effects. The objective of our study was to improve the treatment efficacy of CAL by adding fibroblasts. Methods ADSCs and fibroblasts were isolated from human adipose and dermal tissues, with fibroblasts identified by immunofluorescence and ADSCs identified by the multilineage differentiation method. We performed cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, adipogenic, and hemangioendothelial differentiation experiments, qPCR and Western blotting analysis in co-cultures of fibroblasts and ADSCs. Subsequently, we conducted animal experiments with BALB/c nude mice. Masson's staining, immunofluorescence staining and ultrasound were used to analyze the occurrence of adverse reactions of the grafted fat, and CT and three-dimensional reconstruction were used to accurately evaluate the volume of the grafted fat. Results We found that the co-culture of fibroblasts and ADSCs promoted their mutual proliferation, adipogenic differentiation, hemangioendothelial differentiation and proliferation and migration of HUVECs. Fibroblasts inhibit the apoptosis of ADSCs. Moreover, in animal experiments, the autografted adipose group combined with ADSCs and fibroblasts had the least occurrence of oily cysts, and fat had the best form of survival. Conclusions We enhanced adipocyte regeneration and angiogenesis in ADSCs and fibroblast cells after adding fibroblasts to conventional CAL autologous fat grafts. In turn, the volume retention rate of the grafted fat is improved, and the adverse reactions are reduced.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with a low body mass index may have inadequate high-quality adipose tissue for transplantation. The influence of high-energy diets on adipose tissue and graft retention remains unknown. OBJECTIVES We explored inguinal fat pad alternation in mice fed on a short-time high-fat diet (HFD) or a high-carbohydrate diet (HCD) preoperatively and the morphological and histological differences after transplantation. METHODS Mice were fed HFD (60% kilocalories from fat, 20% from carbohydrate), HCD (9.3% kilocalories from fat, 80.1% from carbohydrate), or normal (12% kilocalories from fat, 67% kilocalories from carbohydrate) diets for 2 or 4 weeks. Histological analyses were carried out following hematoxylin and eosin staining, and CD34 and proliferating cell nuclear antigen immunostaining. The uncoupling protein-1 (UCP-1) expression was determined by western blotting. Fat pads from each group were grafted into the dorsal region of the recipient mice and morphological and histological changes were determined 4, 8, and 12 weeks post-transplantation. Vascular endothelial growth factor α and platelet-derived growth factor α expression were determined using quantitative polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS The inguinal fat pad volume increased in the HFD and HCD groups. The presence of multilocular adipocytes in inguinal fat of HCD-fed mice, combined with the increased UCP-1 content, suggested adipocyte browning. HCD grafts showed higher volume retention and reduced oil cyst formation, possibly attributed to better angiogenesis and adipogenesis. CONCLUSIONS HCD enlarged adipose tissue and improved grafts survival rates, which may be due to the browning of fat before grafting and enhanced angiogenesis after grafting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent evidence confirms that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) facilitate angiogenesis mainly through paracrine function. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are regarded as key components of the cell secretome, possessing functional properties of their source cells. Subsequently, MSC-EVs have emerged as a novel cell-free approach to improve fat graft retention rate. OBJECTIVES The authors sought to provide a systematic review of all studies reporting the utilization of MSC-EVs to improve graft retention rate. METHODS A systematic search was undertaken employing the Embase, PubMed, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases. Outcome measures included donor/receptor organism of the fat graft, study model, intervention groups, evaluation intervals, EV research data, and in vitro and in vivo results. RESULTS Of the total 1717 articles, 62 full texts were screened. Seven studies reporting on 294 mice were included. Overall, EV-treated groups showed higher graft retention rates compared with untreated groups. Notably, retention rate was similar following EV and MSC treatment. In addition to reduced inflammation, graft enrichment with EVs resulted in early revascularization and better graft integrity. Interestingly, hypoxic preconditioning of MSCs improved their beneficial paracrine effects and led to a more proangiogenic EV population, as observed by both in vitro and in vivo results. CONCLUSIONS MSC-EVs appear to offer an interesting cell-free alternative to improve fat graft survival. Although their clinical relevance remains to be determined, it is clear that not the cells but rather their secretome is essential for graft survival. Thus, a paradigm shift from cell-assisted lipotransfer towards "secretome-assisted lipotransfer" is well on its way. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 4

Abstract
Cellular therapy is a promising tool of human medicine to successfully treat complex and challenging pathologies such as cardiovascular diseases or chronic inflammatory conditions. Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs) are in the limelight of these efforts, initially, trying to exploit their natural properties by direct transplantation. Extensive research on the therapeutic use of BMSCs shed light on a number of key aspects of BMSC physiology including the importance of oxygen in the control of BMSC phenotype. These efforts also led to a growing number of evidence indicating that the beneficial therapeutic effects of BMSCs can be mediated by BMSC-secreted agents. Further investigations revealed that BMSC-excreted extracellular vesicles could mediate the potentially therapeutic effects of BMSCs. Here, we review our current understanding of the relationship between low oxygen conditions and the effects of BMSC-secreted extracellular vesicles focusing on the possible medical relevance of this interplay.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Nuclear technology has been widely used in military and civilian fields, and radiotherapy is an effective and common form of treatment for cancer. However, acute radiation disease caused by high doses of radiation is a serious complication. The aim of this study was to investigate the chance of mitigating radiation-triggered hematopoiesis failure using human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell (HUCMSC) transplantation. METHODS Umbilical cords were obtained from three full-term female neonatus through cesarean section at Xinqiao Hospital. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) were cultivated as depicted before. Briefly, monocytes were collected from bone marrow blood by means of density separation columns. An acute radiation disease mouse model was established to compare the restoration effect of HUCMSCs and BMSCs transplanted via the tail vein. The hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) mouse model was obtained through bone marrow cell transplantation (BMCT) from C57BL/6 mice (H-2b, donor) to female CB6F1 mice (H-2b×d, recipient) after irradiation. The mice were divided into five groups, including control (saline), irradiated (radiation), bone marrow (HSCT, transplanted 1×106 BM cells), HUCMSC (transplanted a mixture of 1×106 HUCMSCs and 1×106 BM cells), and BMSC group (transplanted a mixture of 1×106 BMSCs and 1×106 BM cells). The blood condition results were used to test the radiation-induced inflammatory reaction, and bone marrow pathological staining (H&E) was used to determine the radiation-induced bone marrow hematopoiesis failure. RESULTS After radiation, HUCMSC transplantation significantly improved the survival rate. By analyzing the blood condition test, colony formation, and bone marrow pathology, it was found that the HUCMSC group demonstrated significant functional improvements in terms of the recovery from hematopoiesis failure and reduction of inflammatory reaction. CONCLUSIONS HUCMSCs have more advantages over BMSCs in restoring and promoting the recovery of radiation-induced hematopoietic damage, thus having a new therapeutic potential for patients with acute radiation disease.

Abstract
Autologous fat transplantation is widely regarded as an increasingly popular method for augmentation or reshaping applications in soft tissue defects. Although the fat transplantation is of simple applicability, low donor site morbidity and excellent biocompatibility, the clinical unpredictability and high resorption rates of the fat grafts remain an inevitable problem. In the sites of fat transplantation, the most essential components are the adipocyte and adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs). The survival of adipocytes is the direct factor determining fat retention. The efficacy of fat transplantation is reduced by fat absorption and fibrosis due to the inadequate blood flow, adipocyte apoptosis and fat necrosis. ADSCs, a heterogeneous mixture of cells in adipose tissue, are closely related to tissue survival. ADSCs exhibit the ability of multilineage differentiation and remarkable paracrine activity, which is crucial for graft survival. This article will review the recent existing research on the mechanisms of adipocytes and ADSCs in fat transplantation, especially including adipocyte apoptosis, mature adipocyte dedifferentiation, adipocyte browning, ADSCs adipogenic differentiation and ADSCs angiogenesis. The in-depth understanding of the survival mechanism will be extremely valuable for achieving the desired filling effects.

Cell Transplant 2021; 30:9636897211052975. [PMID: 34662222 PMCID: PMC8527580 DOI: 10.1177/09636897211052975] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2021] [Revised: 06/09/2021] [Accepted: 09/27/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Autologous fat grafting (AFG) is widely regarded as an important method for breast reconstruction after mastectomy among breast cancer (BC) patients. FTY720 has been proved to affect macrophage polarization and improve the sensitivity of postoperative BC treatment. This study aimed to explore FTY720 function and underlying mechanism in fat transplantation. The C57BL/6 J mice that received AFG were randomly divided into two groups treated with saline and FTY720, respectively. The fat graft samples were obtained at week 1, 2, 4, and 12 post-transplantation. Graft volumes, graft structures, M2 macrophages, and STAT3 protein expression were estimated by histological examination, immunofluorescence, flow cytometry, and western blot, respectively. In vitro, mouse preadipocytes were stimulated with FTY720 treated-M2 macrophages conditioned medium (FTY720-M2-CM) to evaluate the adipogenesis effect. The level of adipogenic mRNA expression in preadipocytes was detected by RT-PCR. The in vivo results showed that FTY720 treatment significantly enhanced the fat graft retention, structure integrity, and neovascularization, indicating the potential of FTY720 in improving graft survival. The histology results showed more polarized M2 macrophage presented in the FTY720 group. In the in vitro assay, after FTY720-M2-CM treatment, the 3T3-L1 preadipocytes showed the increased triglyceride content and adipogenic mRNA expression, including FABP4, C/EBP-α, Adipoq, and PPARγ. Furthermore, FTY720 treatment up-regulated the expression level of M2 biomarker CD206, Arg-1, Fizz-1, which could be weakened by the STAT3 inhibitor. Together, this study confirmed the potential efficacy of FTY720 in improving graft survival in the AFG model, possibly mediated by polarizing macrophages to M2 type through activating the STAT3 pathway.

Abstract
Ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation is a major cause of aging in dermal fibroblasts. Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (MSC-EVs) show antioxidant activity. In this study, the anti-aging effects of MSC-EVs on dermal fibroblast photoaging induced by UVB radiation were evaluated, and the effects of extracellular vesicles derived from dermal fibroblasts (Fb-EVs) were compared. Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells and human dermal fibroblasts were cultured, and MSC-EVs and Fb-EVs were isolated and characterized. Human dermal fibroblasts were cultured in the absence or presence of different concentrations of EVs 24 hours prior to UVB radiation exposure. Cell proliferation and cell cycle were evaluated, and senescent cells and intracellular ROS were detected. The expressions of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1), extracellular matrix protein collagen type 1 (Col-1), and antioxidant proteins such as glutathione peroxidase 1 (GPX-1), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and catalase were also analyzed. Pretreatment with MSC-EVs or Fb-EVs significantly inhibited the production of ROS induced by UVB radiation, increased dermal fibroblast proliferation, protected cells against UVB-induced cell death and cell cycle arrest, and remarkably decreased the percentage of aged cells. Pretreatment with MSC-EVs or Fb-EVs promoted the expressions of GPX-1 and Col-1 and decreased the expression of MMP-1. Both MSC-EVs and Fb-EVs protected dermal fibroblasts from UVB-induced photoaging, likely through their antioxidant activity.

Abstract
The perfect hemostatic material should be capable of rapidly controlling substantial hemorrhaging from visceral organs, veins, and arteries. Ideally, it should be biodegradable, biocompatible, easily applied, and inexpensive. Herein, taking advantages of sodium alginate (SA), carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC), and collagen, a degradable powdery hemostatic composite (SACC) was synthesized using emulsification and cross-linking technology. The morphology and structure of SACC were determined using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). This hemostatic material exhibited a typical generic sphere shape with narrow size distribution, rough surface, and satisfactory water absorption. Using in vitro bleeding and in vivo bleeding models (rat liver injury model and rat tail amputation model), it was shown that SACC had superior hemostatic actions compared to CMC and SA. Excellent cytocompatibility was proven during cytotoxicity tests and SEM observations. Histomorphological evaluation during the wound healing process proved the superior biocompatibility of SACC in a rat liver injury model. Biodegradability of SACC was demonstrated by immunofluorescence techniques both in vitro and in vivo. In summary, we have demonstrated the enormous potential of SACC, which has excellent hemostatic activity, biodegradability, and biocompatibility properties for use in clinical hemostasis applications.
