Advances in structural fat transplantation technology have significantly improved the survival rate and stability of grafts. This study investigated the importance of the spatial structural integrity of adipose tissue for adipose regeneration after fat transplantation. We sought to enhance understanding of structural fat transplantation and optimize procedures used for the clinical acquisition, purification, and transplantation of adipose tissue. In an inactivated structuration adipose tissue model established by freezing at -20 °C for 3 days, nearly all cells were dead but the structure was intact. We transplanted this adipose tissue model (group A) or non-treated adipose tissue (group B) into GFP-expressing mice. Group B showed a higher graft survival percentage and less fibrosis than group A. The macrophage infiltration (F4/80) peak period was longer in group A than in group B. The change in vessel density (CD31) was similar in the two groups: it peaked at 4 weeks after transplantation and decreased thereafter. In both groups, the number of Ki67+ cells showed a similar trend. In comparison to group B, group A had more Ki67+ cells at 4-8 weeks after transplantation, but fewer of these cells at 12 weeks after transplantation. The intact spatial structure of adipose tissue, which is supported by adipocytes and extracellular matrix, provides a niche for adipogenesis and angiogenesis after fat transplantation.
