Abstract
Porcine small intestinal submucosa, despite its successful use as a scaffold in regenerative medicine, has innate biomechanical heterogeneity. In this study, we hypothesized that human small intestinal submucosa could be a viable alternative bio-scaffold. For the first time, we characterize submucosal extraction from human small intestine and examine appropriate decellularization methods. In total, 16 human small intestinal submucosal samples were obtained and decellularized using three reported methods of porcine decellularization: Abraham, Badylak, and Luo. For each method, four specimens were decellularized. The remaining four specimens were designated as non-decellularized. We measured the amount of residual DNA and growth factors in decellularized human intestinal samples. Additionally, decellularized human small intestinal submucosa was co-cultured with mouse bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells to examine mesenchymal stem cell survival and proliferation. The reference value for the amount of residual DNA deemed appropriate in decellularized tissue was established as 50 ng/mg of extracellular matrix dry weight or less. Abraham's method most successfully met this criterion. Measurement of residual growth factors revealed low levels observed in samples decellularized using the Abraham and Badylak methods. Co-culture of each small intestinal submucosal sample with mouse bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells confirmed viable cell survival and proliferation in samples derived using protocols by Abraham and Badylak. Abraham's method most successfully met the criteria for efficient tissue decellularization and cell viability and proliferation. Thus, we consider this method most suitable for decellularization of human small intestinal submucosa.
期刊介绍:
Experimental Pathology encompasses the use of multidisciplinary scientific techniques to investigate the pathogenesis and progression of pathologic processes. The International Journal of Experimental Pathology - IJEP - publishes papers which afford new and imaginative insights into the basic mechanisms underlying human disease, including in vitro work, animal models, and clinical research.
Aiming to report on work that addresses the common theme of mechanism at a cellular and molecular level, IJEP publishes both original experimental investigations and review articles. Recent themes for review series have covered topics as diverse as "Viruses and Cancer", "Granulomatous Diseases", "Stem cells" and "Cardiovascular Pathology".
