Abstract：
INTRODUCTION:Repairing contour defects is a challenge in plastic surgery. Different filling materials have been used with inadequate results and complications. The autologous fat transfer is the standard technique at the moment, but adipose tissue reserves are limited. The aim of our study was to compare in vivo on an animal model, preadipocytes cultured in a collagen scaffold versus adipose tissue transferred by the usual surgical technique. MATERIALS AND METHODS:In order to compare adipocytes resulting from the differentiation of preadipocytes with those of purified adipose tissue, we implanted them in 10 nude mice. The preadipocytes were implanted using a collagen scaffold as intermediary and the adipose tissue following the plastic surgery protocol described by SR Coleman. After 8 weeks, tissue fragments were explanted and analysed after staining with HPS, Oil Red O and labelling with human anti-vimentin antibodies. RESULTS:The scaffold seeded with preadipocytes had the macroscopic appearance of adipose tissue with peripheral neovascularisation. The preadipocytes had been transformed into mature adipocytes. Purified adipose tissue also presented peripheral neovascularisation. Numerous mature adipocytes were found. There was an abundant murine extracellular matrix since anti-vimentin labelling was negative. CONCLUSION:This experimental study showed that adipose tissue engineering is feasible and gives comparable results to fat grafting. It allows a better understanding of the sequence of events following the transfer of adipose tissue. It provides not only volume but also undeniable stimulation, leading to significant thickening of the extracellular matrix.
