Abstract:
BACKGROUND:The extracelular matrix with removal of cels and soluble proteins can maintain the normal shape of organs and matrix components. OBJECTIVE:To prepare the acelular matrix of lung tissue using perfusion method. METHODS:Forty Wistar rats were randomly divided into two groups: under routine anesthesia, the chest was open to obtain complete lung tissue for construction of rat lung acelular matrix scaffold using Langendorff perfusion model in experimental group, and there was no treatment in control group. Lung tissue color and shape were observed and recorded dynamicaly. A smal tissue from different sites of the lung was taken from each group and observed histologicaly under electron microscope. The elastic fibers and connective tissues were highlighted by a Weigert or von Gieson staining, respectively. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was also employed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After perfusion with 1% sodium deoxycholate, the lung tissue of the experimental group gradualy appeared with a piecewise and lobulated translucent appearance in white color from the inside to the outside, and the lung structure was clear. Eventualy, the lung tissue became uniform white translucent. The Weigert-Von Gieson staining and hematoxylin-eosin staining showed that there were a large amount of cels in fresh lung tissue sections of the control group, including capilaries, fibroblasts and endothelial cels; the cels were arranged neatly, and had complete alveolar structure; the elastic fiber structure was clear, and the colagen fiber was arranged neatly and compactly. In the experimental group, the lung cels nearly disappeared, and the alveolar structure was stil intact but in a loose state; the elastic fibers were preserved wel and the colagen fibers were loosely arranged. These findings indicate that the perfusion method can be used to effectively construct the lung matrix scaffold in rats.
