Abstract:
Objective To investigate and assess the best seeding method for constructing three dimensional urethral tissue in vitro. Methods High speed agitation decellular method was used for preparing the porcine acellular corporous spongiosum matrix (ACSM). Before seeding, the matrix was sterilized via soaking compound iodine solution. Rabbit tongue epithelial cells and cavernosal smooth muscle cells were isolated and cultured. Three different groups of seeding method was used in this study. Group A (sandwich seeding group): The smooth muscle cells and epithelial cells were seeded onto the different side of ACSM by static method. Group B (injection seeding group): The smooth muscle cells were injected into the scaffold. Then, epithelial cells were seeded onto the urethral surface of ACSM by static method. Group C (agitation seeding group): The smooth muscle cells were seeded into the scaffold by agitation method. Then, epithelial cells were seeded onto the urethral surface of ACSM by static method. After being seeded, all matrixes were cultured in vitro for 14 d. HE and immunoassay staining were used to examine the results of seeding. Results Looser matrix was obtained after using high speed agitation decellular method. Compound iodine solution could not only sterilize efficiently but also reserve the original structure of biomaterial. An intact epithelial cellular layer onto the surface of scaffold could be observed in HE staining section after 14 d culturing in vitro.Few smooth muscle cells could be found in big space of biomaterial in group A. In group B, smooth muscle cells were restrained in some regions of the matrix. Smooth muscle cells were well distributed into the scaffold in group C. Conclusions After using high speed agitation decellular method, an ideal matrix with three dimensional structure can be obtained. Combined with agitated seeding method, three dimensional urethral tissue can be constructed.
