Fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-2 induces mitogenesis, angiogenesis and adipogenesis. In this study, the adipogenesis-inducing effects of FGF-2 combined with bilayer artificial dermis in mice were evaluated. FGF-2-impregnated bilayer artificial dermis composed of collagen matrix, PELNAC (Gunze Corp., Osaka, Japan) was implanted subcutaneously into the thoracic region of mice. At 1, 2, 3, and 4 weeks, samples were collected for H&E staining, von Willebrand factor immunostaining, and perilipin immunostaining to examine adipose tissue localization and angiogenesis. The collagen matrix-implanted group without the addition of FGF-2 was prepared as a control. At 2 weeks after the implantation of FGF-2 combined with dermal substitutes, adipocytes appeared in the collagen fibers. At 3-4 weeks, a fat pad was generated with neovascularization. The thickness of the fat pad had significantly increased at 2, 3, and 4 weeks. The remaining collagen was decreased by absorption over time. In the control group, no fat pad was newly formed. This study has identified a promising method to enhance adipogenic effects in the murine subcutis, representing a potential technique for soft tissue reconstruction.
