Abstract:
Objective To prepare completely biological tissue-engineered small-diameter blood vessel based on a biological hybrid scaffold.MethodsEndothelial cells and smooth muscle cells were isolated from the porcine aorta and expanded in vitro. Mixture of smooth muscle cells and porcine fibrin was prayed coating on the decellularized canine carotid artery. Then, the inner surface of the decellularized artery was seeded with the endothelial cells to construction of completely biological tissue-engineered small-diameter blood vessel. The tissue-engineered blood vessel was evaluated with Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) staining and scanning electron microscopy.ResultsHistology examination revealed that the completely biological tissue-engineered small-diameter had intact media and intima. Scanning electron microscopy examination confirmed that the inner surface of tissue-engineered blood vessel was covered with intact monolayer endothelial cells and the external surface was covered with multilayer smooth muscle cells.ConclusionThe completely biological tissue-engineered small-diameter with intact media and intima was prepared using mixture of blood vessel cells and porcine fibrin on the decellularized canine carotid artery.
