摘要
Compared to native blood vessels, all clinically available blood vessel substitutes perform suboptimally. Numerous approaches to tissue engineer (TE) blood vessels have been pursued using different scaffold materials. cell types, and culture conditions. Several limitations however remain to be overcome prior to the potential application in the arterial system. This study aimed at tissue engineering viable ovine blood vessels suitable for implantation into the systemic circulation of sheep. In recent studies vascular smooth muscle cells (vSMC) were derived by an explant technique. However, in this study we show that homogenous populations of differentiated vSMC were only obtained by enzymatic dispersion as characterized by immunostaining for specific vSMC marker proteins. In contrast the explant method yielded predominantly less differentiated myofibroblast-like cells. Enzymatically derived vSMC were seeded onto P-4-HB scaffolds and incubated either in a pulsatile flow bioreactor or under static conditions. Dynamically cultured TE blood vessel substitutes showed confluent layered tissue formation and were completely water resistant. They displayed significantly increased ECM synthesis, DNA, and protein content as well as vSMC marker expression. Mechanical properties of bioreactor Cultured TE blood vessels approached those of native aorta. In conclusion ovine, aortic blood vessel substitutes were successfully created using enzymatically derived vSMC, bioabsorbable scaffolds, and applied shear stress.
