BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: Calcifications and absence of growth potential are the major drawbacks of glutaraldehyde-treated prosthesis. Decellularized and secured xeno-/allogeneic matrices were assessed in a preclinical porcine model for biocompatibility and vascular remodeling in comparison to glutaraldehyde-fixed bovine pericardium (GBP; control).
Native human (fascia lata, pericardium) and porcine tissues (peritoneum) were used and treated. In vitro, biopsies were performed before and after treatment to assess decellularization (hematoxylin and eosin/DAPI). In vivo, each decellularized and control tissue sample was implanted subcutaneously in 4 mini-pigs. In addition, 9 mini-pigs received a patch or a tubularized prosthesis interposition on the carotid artery or abdominal aorta of decellularized (D) human fascia lata (DHFL; n = 4), human pericardium (DHP; n = 9), porcine peritoneum (DPPt; n = 7), and control tissue (GBP: n = 3). Arteries were harvested after 1 month and subcutaneous samples after 15-30 days. Tissues were processed for hematoxylin and eosin/von Kossa staining and immunohistochemistry for CD31, alpha-smooth muscle actin, CD3, and CD68. Histomorphometry was achieved by point counting.
A 95% decellularization was confirmed for DHP and DPPt, and to a lower degree for DHFL. In the subcutaneous protocol, CD3 infiltration was significantly higher at day 30 in GBP and DHFL, and CD68 infiltration was significantly higher for GBP (p < 0.05). In intravascular study, no deaths, aneurysms, or pseudoaneurysms were observed. Inflammatory reaction was significantly higher for DHFL and GBP (p < 0.05), while it was lower and comparable for DHP/DPPt. DHP and DPPt showed deeper recellularization, and a new arterial wall was characterized.
In a preclinical model, DPPt and DHP offered better results than conventional commercialized GBP for biocompatibility and vascular remodeling.
背景/目的:钙化和缺乏生长潜力是戊二醛处理过的假体的主要缺点。与戊二醛固定的牛心包(GBP;对照)相比,在临床前猪模型中评估了脱细胞并固定的异种/同种异体基质的生物相容性和血管重塑情况。
使用并处理了天然人类组织(阔筋膜、心包)和猪组织(腹膜)。在体外,在处理前后进行活检以评估脱细胞情况(苏木精和伊红染色/DAPI)。在体内,将每个脱细胞组织样本和对照组织样本皮下植入4只小型猪体内。此外,9只小型猪接受了脱细胞的人阔筋膜(DHFL;n = 4)、人心包(DHP;n = 9)、猪腹膜(DPPt;n = 7)和对照组织(GBP:n = 3)制成的补片或管状假体在颈动脉或腹主动脉上的置入。1个月后采集动脉样本,15 - 30天后采集皮下样本。对组织进行苏木精和伊红染色/冯·科萨染色以及针对CD31、α - 平滑肌肌动蛋白、CD3和CD68的免疫组织化学检测。通过点计数进行组织形态计量分析。
证实DHP和DPPt的脱细胞率为95%,DHFL的脱细胞率较低。在皮下实验方案中,GBP和DHFL在第30天时CD3浸润显著更高,GBP的CD68浸润显著更高(p < 0.05)。在血管内研究中,未观察到死亡、动脉瘤或假性动脉瘤。DHFL和GBP的炎症反应显著更高(p < 0.05),而DHP/DPPt的炎症反应更低且相当。DHP和DPPt显示出更深的再细胞化,并形成了新的动脉壁特征。
在临床前模型中,对于生物相容性和血管重塑,DPPt和DHP比传统商业化的GBP效果更好。
