Adipocytes and adipose tissue derived cells have been investigated for their potential to contribute to the wound healing process. However, the details of how these cells interact with other essential cell types, such as myofibroblasts/fibroblasts, remain unclear. Using a novel in-vitro 3D human adipocyte/pre-adipocyte spheroid model, we investigated whether adipocytes and their precursors (pre-adipocytes) secrete factors that affect human dermal fibroblast behavior. We found that both adipocyte and pre-adipocyte conditioned medium induced the migration of fibroblasts, but only adipocyte conditioned medium induced fibroblast differentiation into a highly contractile, collagen producing myofibroblast phenotype. Furthermore, adipocyte mediated myofibroblast induction occurred through a TGF-β independent mechanism. Our findings contribute to a better understanding on the involvement of adipose tissue in wound healing, and may help to uncover and develop fat-related wound healing treatments.
脂肪细胞和脂肪组织来源的细胞已被研究其在伤口愈合过程中的潜在作用。然而,这些细胞与其他重要细胞类型(如肌成纤维细胞/成纤维细胞)相互作用的细节尚不清楚。使用新型体外 3D 人脂肪细胞/前脂肪细胞球体模型,我们研究了脂肪细胞及其前体(前脂肪细胞)是否分泌影响人真皮成纤维细胞行为的因子。我们发现,脂肪细胞和前脂肪细胞条件培养基均诱导成纤维细胞迁移,但只有脂肪细胞条件培养基诱导成纤维细胞分化为高度收缩、产生胶原的肌成纤维细胞表型。此外,脂肪细胞介导的肌成纤维细胞诱导是通过 TGF-β 独立的机制发生的。我们的发现有助于更好地理解脂肪组织在伤口愈合中的作用,并可能有助于发现和开发与脂肪相关的伤口愈合治疗方法。
