Abstract
Objective To evaluate the feasibility of the formation of tissue engineering cartilage in vitro by using autologous bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular matrix (aBMSC-dECM)scaffold.Methods The autologous bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were harvested from 5 New Zealand white rabbits which are two weeks old.The extracellular matrix was collected after 4 weeks culture and fabricated into aBMSC-dECM scaffold.The scaffold was investigated by a scanning electron microscope and HE staining.The autologous articular chondrocytes were isolated,cultured and seeded into the aBMSC-dECM scaffold.Live-Dead staining was analyzed 48 h after seeding.Gross morphological and volume measurement,HE staining,Safranin-O staining and type Ⅱ collagen immunohistochemistry staining,RT-PCRassay,and compression strength test were operated for the cell-scaffold composite at 1,2,4,and 6 weeks after the cultivation respectively.Atelocollagen scaffold was used as the control group.Results The aBMSC-dECM scaffold was three-dimensional and spongy.The engineered cartilage in aBMSC-dECM scaffold group appeared milk white in color with smooth and glossy surface.Compared with the atelocollagen scaffold group,the volume of engineered cartilage in aBMSC-dECM scaffold group significantly grew with time,the chondrocyte,proteoglycan and type Ⅱ collagen were gradually accumulated,the mRNA of type Ⅱ collage and Aggrecan were constantly expressed,and the compressive strength significantly increased with time.Conclusion The aBMSC-dECM scaffold could enhance the viability and biological function of chondrocytes,and promote engineered cartilage regeneration.It could be a novel candidate scaffold for cartilage tissue engineering.
