Abstract
Asherman's syndrome (AS) is an endometrial damage that results in infertility in women. Although stem cell therapy has been introduced as a potential treatment for this syndrome, its use in clinical settings remains challenging because of the likelihood of contamination and cell differentiation. Herein, we investigated the effects of adipose-derived stromal vascular fraction (SVF) transplantation on proliferation and angiogenesis in the endometrium in an AS model. The AS model was induced using scratch method in adult male Wistar rats, and SVF (5 × 10 (Simsir et al., 2019) cells) was locally administered into the damaged horns. Two weeks after cell transplantation, endometrial thickness, fibrosis, and expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were assessed by Hematoxylin & Eosin, Masson's trichrome, and immunofluorescence staining, respectively. We found thin endometrium, increased fibrosis, and decreased VEGF following AS induction all of which were reversed after SVF transplantation. We concluded that the local injection of SVF may serve as an effective alternative therapy for AS.
