  • Primary Study of Tissue-engineered Heart Valve Reconstructed on Acellularized Porcine Aortic Valve and Rabbit Bone Marrow Stromal Cells

    Objective To explore the feasibility of tissue-engineered heart valve (TEHV) reconstructed on acellularized porcine aortic valve and rabbit bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) in vitro. Methods Acellularized was performed in porcine aortic valve by the detergent and enzymatic extraction process . Morphological and biomechanical properties were compared between the decellularized scaffolds and the fresh valves. Rabbit BMSCs were seeded on the scaffolds. The TEHV were analyzed by light microscopy, electron microscopy and immunohistochemistry. Results Almost complete removal of the cellular components and soluble protein of valves were observed , while the construction of matrix was properly maintained. Biomechanical tests demonstrated no statistically significant change in the breaking intensity (642 ± 102 g/mm2 vs. 636 ± 127g/mm2) and breaking extensibility (62. 2%± 18. 1% vs. 54. 4%±16. 0%) in the porcine values before and after decellularization. Subsequent seeding with rabbit BMSCs on the matrix was so successful that the surface of the scaffold had been covered with a continuous monolayer cells through light microscopy and electron microscopy. Positive of α-smooth muscle actin and negative of CD31 were observed after rabbit BMSCs seeded on the matrix through immunohistochemistry. Conclusion It is feasible to reconstruct TEHV in vitro on acellularized porcine aortic valve scaffold and rabbit BMSCs.
