Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Acelular matrix which is decelularized but retains the matrix components in the nature materials can reduce the immunogenicity of natural materials effectively and keep the material mechanical strength. OBJECTIVE:To prepare the natural biological scaffold material by using elution method to remove the cels in the rabbit costicartilage matrix. METHODS:After removal of the surrounding tissues, the costicartilage samples from New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided them into three groups: costicartilages untreated as normal control group, detergent-enzyme digestion for 48 hours as 48-hour treatment group, detergent-enzyme digestion for 96 hours as 96-hour treatment group. Hematoxylin-eosin staining and electron microscope were used to observe decelularized effects. At 7 days of induction, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels, 3×109/L, were colected and co-cultured with alogeneic acelular costicartilage matrixin vitro. At 3 and 7 days of co-culture, the composite was taken for observation of cel growth on the cel-free substrate surface under electron microscope. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Two or three cartilage cels were closely packed in each cartilage pit, began to depigment using the detergent-nuclease digestion method, and then completely depigmented at 96 hours after treatment. At 3 days of co-culture, there were a large amount of polygon-shaped adherent cels with pseudopodiasobserved on the acelular matrix surfacein vitro, and cels could proliferate and divide in partial regions. At 7 days of co-culture, adherent cels spread mostly throughout the acelular matrix surface, these cels were flat-shaped and extended with multiple interconnected processes. Mass of secreted excelular matrixes were deposited on the matrix surface and showed frost-like changes, indicating the prepared acelular matrix has favorable cytocompatibility.
