This study aimed to investigate biocompatibility, integration, and tissue host response of the Poly (Lactic-co-Glycolic acid) (PLGA)/Poly (isoprene) (PI) epoxidized (PLGA/PIepox) innovative scaffold combined with adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSC). We implanted the scaffold subcutaneously on the back of 18 female rats and monitored them for up to 14 days. When compared to controls, PLGA/PIepox + ADSC demonstrated an earlier vascularization, a tendency of inflammation reduction, an adequate tissue integration, higher cell proliferation, and a tendency of expression of collagen decreasing. However, 14 days post-implantation we found similar levels of CD31, Ki67 and AE1/AE3 in PLGA/PIepox when compared to control groups. The interesting results, lead us to the assumption that PLGA/PIepox is able to provide an effective delivery system for ADSC on tissue host. This animal study assesses PLGA/PIepox + ADSC in in vivo tissue functionality and validation of use, serving as a proof of concept for future clinical translation as it presents an innovative and promising tissue engineering opportunity for the use in tissue reconstruction.
