Abstract:
BACKGROUND:There is no clear understanding on the effects of subcutaneous fat and stem cels on wound healing. OBJECTIVE:To explore the therapeutic effects of skin composite prepared with adipose tissue-derived stem
cels on skin defects. METHODS: Epidermal cels, fibroblasts, adipose tissue-derived stem cels as seed cels and bovine colagen gel as a scaffold were used to build a complex with a variety of cels. A 6-mm diameter circular skin defect was made on the both sides of the rat back. The right side as experimental side was implanted with an 8-mm diameter multilayer skin composite, and the left side (control side) was only treated with a simple dressing. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: For the constructed multi-layer skin composite, the epidermal layer was continuously merged into the multi-layer, the fibroblasts evenly distributed in the corium layer, and lipid droplets existed in the fat layer in which the cels distributed uniformly. Cel aggregation was obviously observed at the junction of different layers. In the experimental side, the rate of wound healing, granulation tissue thickness, the thickness of dermis and the capilary density were significantly higher than those in the control side. Taken together, we can construct multilayer skin composites with a variety of cels as seed cels, such as epidermal cels, fibroblasts and adipose tissue-derived stem cels, and bovine colagen gel as a scaffold, which promote wound healing and increase the thickness of dermis.
