Abstract

This study evaluates the influence of a gelatin sponge on adipose-derived stromal cells (ASC). Transcriptomic data revealed that, compared to ASC in a monolayer, a cross-linked porcine gelatin sponge strongly influences the transcriptome of ASC. Wound healing genes were massively regulated, notably with the inflammatory and angiogenic factors. Proteomics on conditioned media showed that gelatin also acted as a concentrator and reservoir of the regenerative ASC secretome. This secretome promoted fibroblast survival and epithelialization, and significantly increased the migration and tubular assembly of endothelial cells within fibronectin. ASC in gelatin on a chick chorioallantoic membrane were more connected to vessels than an empty sponge, confirming an increased angiogenesis in vivo. No tumor formation was observed in immunodeficient nude mice to which an ASC gelatin sponge was transplanted subcutaneously. Finally, ASC in a gelatin sponge prepared from outbred rats accelerated closure and re-vascularization of ischemic wounds in the footpads of rats. In conclusion, we provide here preclinical evidence that a cross-linked porcine gelatin sponge is an optimal carrier to concentrate and increase the regenerative activity of ASC, notably angiogenic. This formulation of ASC represents an optimal, convenient and clinically compliant option for the delivery of ASC on ischemic wounds.
