Skin grafts often suffer from contracture, complicating recovery. SVF-gel shows promise in addressing scar contracture, but its therapeutic effects and mechanisms are not fully understood. This study evaluates the efficacy of SVF-gel in full-thickness skin grafting. Full-thickness skin grafts were harvested from mice dorsal skin, rotated and sutured. SVF-gel or saline was injected beneath the muscle fascia. Immunohistochemistry assessed SVF-gel's effects on angiogenesis, collagen deposition, fibrosis, and dermal adipocytes. Keloid-related genes from GSE92566 and GSE158395 were analyzed for functional enrichment and protein-protein interactions, with hub genes validated using GSE190626. SVF-gel significantly increased the grafted area, thickness of the epidermal and dermal adipose layers, and hair follicles compared to the control group. SVF-gel enhanced CD31 and perilipin expression, decreased α-SMA expression, and identified HLA cells around CD31 cells in the dermal microvessels and adipose tissue of the graft. Sixty commonly downregulated keloid-related genes were identified, with KEGG pathway analysis indicating enrichment in the PPAR signaling pathway and lipolysis regulation. Five hub genes (ADIPOQ, FABP4, KRT7, LEP, and PIP) were validated. SVF-gel shows promise as a stem cell therapy for skin grafts, improving outcomes by enhancing revascularization, increasing collagen fiber density and regularity, accelerating myofibroblast turnover, promoting adipogenesis, and increasing hair follicles.
皮肤移植常常会出现挛缩,使恢复过程变得复杂。脂肪来源干细胞凝胶(SVF-凝胶)在解决瘢痕挛缩方面显示出前景,但其治疗效果和机制尚未完全明确。本研究评估了SVF-凝胶在全层皮肤移植中的疗效。从小鼠背部皮肤获取全层皮肤移植片,进行旋转并缝合。在肌肉筋膜下注射SVF-凝胶或生理盐水。免疫组织化学评估了SVF-凝胶对血管生成、胶原蛋白沉积、纤维化和真皮脂肪细胞的影响。对来自GSE92566和GSE158395的瘢痕疙瘩相关基因进行功能富集和蛋白质-蛋白质相互作用分析,并使用GSE190626验证枢纽基因。与对照组相比,SVF-凝胶显著增加了移植面积、表皮和真皮脂肪层厚度以及毛囊数量。SVF-凝胶增强了CD31和脂滴蛋白的表达,降低了α-平滑肌肌动蛋白(α-SMA)的表达,并在移植皮肤的真皮微血管和脂肪组织中识别出CD31细胞周围的人类白细胞抗原(HLA)细胞。鉴定出60个常见的瘢痕疙瘩相关下调基因,KEGG通路分析表明其在过氧化物酶体增殖物激活受体(PPAR)信号通路和脂肪分解调节中富集。验证了5个枢纽基因(脂联素(ADIPOQ)、脂肪酸结合蛋白4(FABP4)、角蛋白7(KRT7)、瘦素(LEP)和磷脂酰肌醇蛋白聚糖(PIP))。SVF-凝胶作为一种用于皮肤移植的干细胞疗法显示出前景,通过增强血管再生、增加胶原纤维密度和规则性、加速肌成纤维细胞更新、促进脂肪生成以及增加毛囊数量来改善治疗效果。
