title: [Preliminary study on stromal vascular fraction promoting angiogenesis and tissue regeneration in tissue engineering chamber].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the mechanism of stromal vascular fraction (SVF) promoting angiogenesis and tissue regeneration in tissue engineering chamber.
  
  
  METHODS
  Twenty-four 6-month-old New Zealand white rabbits, male or female, weighing 2.5-2.8 kg, were selected. Thoracic dorsal arteriovenous bundle combined with collagen type I scaffold was transplanted to dorsal side, and wrapped by cylindrical hollow silicone chamber; all animals were randomly divided into the experimental group (n = 12) and the control group (n = 12). SVF was isolated from the back fat pads of rabbits in experimental group and labelled with DiI at 2 weeks after operation. The 1 mL cell suspension (1 x 10(6) cells/mL) and equal saline were injected into the chamber in experimental group and control group, respectively. The regenerative tissues were harvested for general observation and HE staining at 2 and 4 weeks after injection: and immunofluorescent staining was carried out in experimental group at 4 weeks.
  
  
  RESULTS
  At 2 weeks after injection, the regenerative tissue was cylindrical; obvious vessel network and incompletely degradable collagen scaffold could be seen on the surface of the new tissue in 2 groups. The volume of new tissue was (0.87 +/- 0.11) mL in experimental group, and (0.72 +/- 0.08) mL in control group at 2 weeks, showing significant difference (t = 2.701, P = 0.011). At 4 weeks, little collagen scaffold could be seen on the surface in control group, but no collagen scaffold in experimental group; the volume of new tissue was (0.74 +/- 0.14) mL in experimental group, and (0.64 +/- 0.10) mL in control group, showing no significant difference (t = 1.424, P = 0.093). HE staining showed new mature vessels at 4 weeks, but no adipose tissue or fat lobulus formed in both groups; the capillary density was significantly higher in experimental group than in control group at 2 weeks (t = 6.291, P = 0.000) and at 4 weeks (t = 5.445, P = 0.000). The immunofluorescent staining found that SVF survived and located at the edge area after 4 weeks; the expressions of CD31 and DiI were positive in some endothelial cells.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  SVF can promote the angiogenesis and tissue regeneration in tissue engineering chamber, but it can not differentiate into adipocyte spontaneously without adipogenic microenvironment.
