Abstract

Adipose tissue engraftment has become a well-established therapy in plastic and reconstructive surgery used to restore age-related or injury-related soft tissue loss. However, the unpredictable absorption rates limit its further application. Some clinicians have noted that more optimal aesthetic results are achieved when botulinum toxin A (BoNTA) is applied prior to adipose tissue grafting. In the present study, we transplanted allogeneic adipose tissue treated with or without BoNTA in SD rats in vivo. We subsequently evaluated the survival rate (weight, volume, apoptosis and cellular integrity) and revascularization of the adipose tissue. The results revealed that BoNTA improved the long-term weight and volume retention of the graft, and preserved cellular integrity. BoNTA significantly increased the expression levels of CD31 and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), suggesting enhanced vasodilation and endothelial cell proliferation. In vitro, adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) were isolated, identified and induced to proliferate and differentiate with or without BoNTA. Furthermore, to evaluate the proliferative, adipogenic and angiogenic ability of the ASCs, CCK-8 assay and Oil Red O staining were conducted. Gene and protein expression levels were analyzed by RT-qPCR and western blot analysis. The results revealed that 8x10-2 U/ml BoNTA as the optimal dose increased ASC proliferation and adipogenic differentiation capacity, as well as the expression level of the key cytokine of angiogenesis. On the whole, our findings indicate that BoNTA improves adipose tissue engraftment and promotes ASC regeneration, which could benefit future clinical applications.
