The tissue-engineered vascular graft (TEVG) is a technology used to recreate a blood vessel by using vascular cells (endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells) and their scaffolds, and is a promising approach as a clinically feasible alternative for small-diameter blood vessel replacement. Since mechanical damage occurs during/after implantation, it needs flexibility and durability to withstand the mechanical damage to be applied. To achieve this, we applied a bioresorbable polyglycolic acid (PGA) fiber-knitted tubular scaffold for vascular endothelial and smooth muscle cell layers. Similar to the native rat aorta, the knitted tubular scaffold (130 μm-thick PGA fiber) exhibited mechanical performance at 150 mN for up to 40% strain for axial stress and at 90 mN for up to 5% strain for circumferential stress. After co-culturing, a vascular barrier comprised of an inner layer of endothelial cells and an outer layer of smooth muscle cells between tubular knits was observed. Up to 93.6% of the co-cultured cells were retained even after bending 50 times, and the suturability to flow liquid without any leakage in various shapes, such as an L-shape or a Y-shape, was acceptable. Taken together, these results support that the PGA tubular knit plays multifunctional roles, such as a porous three-dimensional matrix to attach and grow the vascular cells, and as a flexible and durable scaffold for the suture. Therefore, we suggest that the bioresorbable PGA tubular knit scaffold is a promising scaffold for TEVGs.
组织工程血管移植物(TEVG)是一种利用血管细胞(内皮细胞和平滑肌细胞)及其支架来重建血管的技术,作为小直径血管置换的临床可行替代方案,是一种很有前景的方法。由于在植入过程中/植入后会发生机械损伤,它需要柔韧性和耐用性来承受所施加的机械损伤。为了实现这一点,我们将一种可生物吸收的聚乙醇酸(PGA)纤维编织管状支架应用于血管内皮和平滑肌细胞层。与天然大鼠主动脉类似,编织管状支架(130μm厚的PGA纤维)在轴向应力为150mN时,应变高达40%;在周向应力为90mN时,应变高达5%,表现出机械性能。共培养后,在管状编织物之间观察到由内皮细胞内层和平滑肌细胞外层组成的血管屏障。即使弯曲50次后,仍有高达93.6%的共培养细胞得以保留,并且在各种形状(如L形或Y形)下对流动液体的缝合性良好,无任何渗漏。综上所述,这些结果支持PGA管状编织物具有多种功能,如作为附着和生长血管细胞的多孔三维基质,以及作为用于缝合的灵活耐用的支架。因此,我们认为可生物吸收的PGA管状编织支架是一种很有前景的TEVG支架。
