Brief summary

This is a single-center, prospective study, aimed at investigating the anti-fibrotic in vitro activity of the stromal vascular fraction of patients with scarred vocal cord.

Detailed description

This single-center, prospective study will last 28 months and will be carried out in two stages: 1. Comparison of the in vitro anti-fibrotic activity and production/management circuit of different cell therapy products derived from adipose tissue obtained from healthy donors (n=8) \[secondary objective\] during the first 12 months of the project. 2. Evaluate the association between the in vitro anti-fibrotic activity of fraction vascular fraction (FVS) samples and the clinical improvement obtained with the same sample autologously injected into a patient in the CELLCORDES2 trial (minimum recruitment n=10, CELLCORDES2 biocollection) \[primary objective\]. This second stage will be carried out between M12 and M24 to optimize the number of patients to be included.

Interventions

OTHERReuse of surgical waste

Heathly donnors will be received in the plastic surgery department as part of routine care. They will be informed of the study and their surgical waste (adipose tissue) will be recovered specifically for this research.

OTHERReuse of biological samples

Patients included in the cellcordes 2 trial who have given their consent for the re-use of their biological samples (Stromal Vascular Fraction) in other clinical research projects, and who have been informed of the cellcordes bio study.

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
collagen type 1 alpha 1 chain (COL1A1) RNA levels24 monthsThe stromal vascular fraction of patient will be co-cultured with an in-vitro model of scarred vocal cord. Then, the levels of COL1A1will be quantified by RT-qPCR to measure the anti-fibrotic activity of SVF.
collagene protein levels24 monthsThe stromal vascular fraction of patient will be co-cultured with an in-vitro model of scarred vocal cord. Then, the levels of collagene will be quantified by western blot to measure the anti-fibrotic activity of SVF.
Actine alpha 2 (ACTA2) RNA levels24 monthsThe stromal vascular fraction of patient will be co-cultured with an in-vitro model of scarred vocal cord. Then, the levels of ACTA2 will be quantified by RT-qPCR to measure the anti-fibrotic activity of SVF.
Alpha Smooth muscle actin (aSMA) protein levels24 monthsThe stromal vascular fraction of patient will be co-cultured with an in-vitro model of scarred vocal cord. Then, the levels of aSMA will be quantified by western blot to measure the anti-fibrotic activity of SVF.
