Assessment of human adipose‐derived stem cell on surface‐modified silicone implant to reduce capsular contracture formation

ABSTRACT: Abstract Medical devices made from poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS)‐based silicone implants have been broadly used owing to their inert properties, biocompatibility, and low toxicity. However, long‐term implantation is usually associated with complications, such as capsular contracture due to excessive local inflammatory response, subsequently requiring implant removal. Therefore, modification of the silicone surface to reduce a risk of capsular contracture has attracted increasing attention. Human adipose‐derived stem cells (hASCs) are known to provide potentially therapeutic applications for tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and reconstructive surgery. Herein, hASCs coating on a PDMS (hASC‐PDMS) or itaconic acid (IA)‐conjugated PDMS (hASC‐IA‐PDMS) surface is examined to determine its biocompatibility for reducing capsular contracture on the PDMS surface. In vitro cell cytotoxicity evaluation showed that hASCs on IA‐PDMS exhibit higher cell viability than hASCs on PDMS. A lower release of proinflammatory cytokines is observed in hASC‐PDMS and hASC‐IA‐PDMS compared to the cells on plate. Multiple factors, including in vivo mRNA expression levels of cytokines related to fibrosis; number of inflammatory cells; number of macrophages and myofibroblasts; capsule thickness; and collagen density following implantation in rats for 60 days, indicate that incorporated coating hASCs on PDMSs most effectively reduces capsular contracture. This study demonstrates the potential of hASCs coating for the modification of PDMS surfaces in enhancing surface biocompatibility for reducing capsular contracture of PDMS‐based medical devices.

Project description:Implant-based breast surgery is a common procedure for both reconstructive and aesthetic purposes. Breast implants, like any foreign object, trigger the formation of a capsule around them. While generally harmless, the capsule can undergo fibrotic changes leading to capsular contracture, which can negatively impact surgical outcomes and patient well-being. Additionally, rare but serious complications, such as breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) and capsule-associated squamous cell carcinoma, have been reported. This paper aims to review the physiology of capsular formation, identify factors contributing to capsule-related pathologies, and discuss their clinical implications. A review of relevant literature was conducted by searching databases for articles published between inception and September 2022. The search included but not limited to terms such as "capsular formation" and "capsular contracture". Selected articles were critically analyzed to address the objectives of this review. Capsular formation involves interactions between the implant surface, surrounding tissues, and the immune system. Factors influencing pathological changes in the capsule include genetic predisposition, bacterial contamination, implant characteristics, and surgical techniques. Capsular contracture, characterized by tissue hardening, pain, and implant distortion, remains the most common complication. Rare but life-threatening conditions, such as BIA-ALCL and capsule-associated squamous cell carcinoma, necessitate vigilant monitoring and early detection. Understanding the physiology of capsular formation and its associated pathologies is crucial for healthcare providers involved in implant-based breast surgery. Efforts should focus on minimizing the risk of capsular contracture through improved implant materials, surgical techniques, and infection prevention. The emergence of BIA-ALCL and capsule-associated squamous cell carcinoma underscores the importance of long-term surveillance and prompt diagnosis. Further research is needed to uncover underlying mechanisms and develop preventive measures and treatments for these complications. Enhancing our knowledge and clinical management of capsular formation will lead to safer and more successful outcomes in implant-based breast surgery.
