Outline of Final Research Achievements |
As a basic research on gene therapy using HGF gene plasmid in free adipose tissue transplantation, an experiment was conducted in an animal model. As a result, there was no significant difference in atrophy rate of transplanted free fat at 3 months after transplantation. However, qualitative evaluation by immunostaining revealed that it inhibited the necrosis of adipocytes in the HGF gene plasmid introduced group. Further verification such as genetic analysis and protein analysis is necessary in the future, but suppression of necrosis of transplanted fat clinically can lead to the prevention of cyst formation and calcification known as late complications, I believe that clinical application can be expected especially in fat injection technique in breast.
