In the previous study, we used basement membrane complex (Matrigel or Cymetra) mixed with biodegradable gelatin microspheres, a controlled drug release system, was injected into subcutaneous layer of mice. bFGF, growth hormone and IGF-1 were incorporated into these microspheres respectively before mixing. The adipose precursor cells are fibroblast like precursor cel ls and could be stimulated by growth hormones to migrate into the scaffold and differentiate to mature fatty tissue. Although this drug releasing system could induce adipogenesis, the growth factors were released continuously but could not be stopped or restarted releasing at any time as we will. If we transfect genes of growth factors we need with regulatory genes into adipocyte precursor cells or other mesenchymal cells such as fibroblasts, the desired growth factors could be released stably and the genes could be turned on or off at any time we need. The cationic lipid reagents are the transfection system of our choice because it yields high transfection efficiency in a wide variety of eukaryotic cells, is simple to perform, and ensures consistently reproducible results. Here in vitro studies by transfection of desired genes into cultured cells were tried, if the results are satisfactory, we will apply it further to in vivo studies.application/pdf165059 bytesapplication/pdfzh-TW國立臺灣大學醫學院外科組織工程脂肪組織增生生長因子基因轉殖調控基因正離子脂質體組織工程應用於生物體內脂肪生成之持續性監控Continued monitoring of De Novo Lipogenesis by Tissue Engineeringreporthttp://ntur.lib.ntu.edu.tw/bitstream/246246/24471/1/902314B002414.pdf
