Modification of collagen formation by mesenchymal stem cells isolated from human adipose tissue in culture and after autotransplantation for abdominal hernia plasty

Bull Exp Biol Med. 2013 Nov;156(1):152-5. doi: 10.1007/s10517-013-2299-6.

Abstract

Mesenchymal stem cells from the adipose tissue of patients with postoperative hernias produce excessive amounts of collagen III, which shifts the balance between type III and type I collagens. The proposed technique of pretransplantation preparation allows in vitro stimulation collagen formation processes with predominant activation of collagen I synthesis and normalization of proportion between different collagen types. Abdominal wall repair with polypropylene surgical mesh in combination with autotransplantation of mesenchymal stem cells reduced the collagen III to collagen I ratio due to activation of collagen I synthesis and suppression of collagen III production, which had a positive effect on the structure of in vivo formed connective tissue.
