Biocompatibility of annulus fibrosus-derived stem cells with porcine decellularized annulus fibrosus matrix / 中国组织工程研究

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:Acellular matrix and annulus fibrosus-derived stem cells are both derived from the annulus tissue, and their tissue engineering complexes may have better biocompatibility. OBJECTIVE:To culture rabbit annulus fibrosus-derived stem cells on the porcine decellularized annulus fibrosus matrix, and to observe the growth of annulus fibrosus-derived stem cells on the decellularized matrix scaffold. METHODS:Decellularized annulus fibrosus matrix from porcine was prepared and detected by scanning electron microscopy, DAPI staining and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis. After isolation and culture, annulus fibrosus-derived stem cells were seeded onto the decellularized annulus fibrosus matrix. cellgrowth on the scaffolds was observed by cytoskeleton staining, inverted immunofluorescence microscopy and scanning electron microscopy to draw cellgrowth curve. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The prepared decellularized annulus fibrosus matrix was white and translucence liquid. The result of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy indicated that the main component of the decellularized annulus fibrosus matrix was col agen. DAPI staining and scanning electron microscopy results showed no cells resident. The cytoskeleton staining displayed that annulus fibrosus-derived stem cells grew wel on the scaffolds at 1, 3, 7 days. These findings indicated that annulus fibrosus-derived stem cells have a good biocompatibility with the decellularized annulus fibrosus matrix in vitro.
