Abstract

Despite the clinical need for reconstructive and plastic surgery, the supply of engineered adipose tissue equivalents still remains a challenge. As yet, only preadipocytes have been applied as a cell material for the in vitro tissue engineering of fat. Herein, we report the establishment of a three-dimensional (3-D) long-term cell culture, using bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) as an alternative cell source and custom-made poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) ( PLGA) scaffolds as a cell carrier. Cell-polymer constructs were cultivated for 4 weeks in both the absence and presence of basic fibroblast growth factor ( bFGF), which was previously shown to strongly enhance the adipogenesis of MSCs in conventional 2-D short-term culture. A striking enhancement of the adipogenic differentiation of MSCs and tissue development caused by bFGF in the 3-D culture was observed by osmium tetroxide histology and scanning electron microscopy. At the molecular level, reflecting the increased accumulation of lipids, bFGF increased the enzymatic activity of glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, a late marker of adipogenesis, and the expression of adipocyte-specific genes peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-gamma 2 (PPAR gamma 2) and glucose transporter-4 (GLUT4), as assessed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. This study demonstrates that the use of bone marrow-derived MSCs, especially in combination with bFGF, may represent a promising approach to adipose tissue engineering.
