In vivo immunogenicity of bovine bone removed by a novel decellularization protocol based on supercritical carbon dioxide.

Trauma or infections associated critical bone defects lead to a huge economic burden in the healthcare system worldwide. Recent advances in tissue engineering have led to potential new strategies for the repair, replacement, and regeneration of bone defects, especially in biomaterials and decellularization protocols from xenogenic tissues. However, the complexity in bone structure and mechanical environment limits the synthesis of artificial bone with biomaterials. Thus, the purpose of our study is to develop a natural bone scaffold with great immunocompatibility. We combined decellularization techniques base on SC-CO2 to decellularize bovine bone. In order to study the immune response of mice to materials, the histology, spleen index, immune cells contents and in vitro proliferative performance, cytokine and immunoglobulin light chain expression of mice were characterized. Compared with the fresh bone group, the immune responses of decellularized group were significantly reduced. In conclusion, decellularization via this method can achieve a decellularized scaffold with great immunocompatibility. Our findings suggest the potential of using decellularized BB as a scaffold for bone bioengineering.

Clinicopathological Characteristics of Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes in Ovarian Serous Adenocarcinoma / 实用妇产科杂志

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics and immunohistochemical features of tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte(TIL) in ovarian serous adenocarcinoma,and their clinical value.Methods:The immunohistochemistry was used to observe 68 ovarian serous adenocarcinomacases'immunohistochemical features,and their correlations with clinicopathological characteristics were analyzed.Results:There were 43 cases with a large amount of TIL infiltrating in the 68 cases of serous adenocarcinoma,account for 63.24％.There were significant differences on the with or without a large amount of TIL infiltrating among the different tumor grade,different clinical stage,and different CA125 level (P ＜ 0.05).The numbers of CD3 +,CD4 + and CD8 + TIL in the cancer nest were significantly less than those in the stroma,with significantly statistical difference (P ＜ 0.05),Meanwhile the ratio of CD4 +/CD8 + in the cancer nest was significantly less than that in the stroma(P＜0.05).The ratio of CD4 +/CD8 + in the cancer nest and stroma at stage Ⅲ and with poor differentiation was significantly lower than in those at stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ and with good differentiation(P＜0.05).Meanwhile the ratio of CD8 +/FoxP3 + Treg in the cancer nest was less than that in the stroma(P＜0.05).The ratio of CD8 +/FoxP3 + Treg in the cancer nest at stage Ⅲ and with poor differentiation tumor was significantly lower than in those at stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ and with good differentiation(P＜0.05).The expression of GzmB in the cancer nest at stage Ⅲ and with poor differentiation tumor was significantly lower than that in the cancer nest at stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ and with good differentiation tumor(P＜0.05).Conclusions:With or without a large amount of TIL is related to tumor grade,clinical stage,and CA125 level inovarian serous adenocarcinoma.The numbers of TIL in ovarian serous adenocarcinoma increase considerably,but mainly in the stroma,and which may be related to several factors such as tumor cell differentiation and clinical stage.
