A complete enzymatic degradation of HA filler to hyaluronidase needs a certain time, and subcutaneous hyaluronidase treatment may be the better option.
Bone is a metabolically active organ that undergoes constant remodeling throughout life. A failure of this process leads to pathological destructive bone diseases such as osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteoarthritis. Studies of the interplay between adipose tissue and bone system, have revealed that adipose tissue disorders (e.g. obesity) strongly influence the development of bone diseases. Adipokines secreted by adipose tissue play important roles in the crosstalk between bone and adipose tissue. Recently, extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been identified as a novel method of communication between different organs and have attracted increased attention in the field of bone remodeling process. Adipokines carried by EVs are known to play pivotal roles in bone remodeling processes including osteogenesis and osteoclastogenesis. In this review, we highlighted the role of adipose tissue derived EVs (EVs-AT) in the context of bone remodeling events and focused on the characteristics of EVs-AT and their components in the regulation of bone diseases.Moreover, we introduced the intriguing therapeutic application of EVs-AT in different pathological destructive bone diseases and proposed future directions for research on EVs-AT in bone diseases.
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 8×10−2 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.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
