ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Complete circular endoscopic dissection (CED) is frequently accompanied with post-operative strictures formation in the esophagus. Various types of therapeutic approaches have recently been tested to prevent these strictures, e.g. cell therapy or stenting.METHODS:
Miniature pigs of Gottingen/Minnesota origin (n=10) were used in the study. First, we made the complete CED in the mid esophagus; next, the defect was left untreated or covered with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) or a mixture of MSCs and primary oral keratinocytes (pOKs) suspension without/with fully covered self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS). Consequently, we performed a control endoscopy with a stent removal, and necropsy was performed 17-36 days after cells application.RESULTS:
All CED procedures were completed successfully without serious complications. Although we were able to detect MSCs or pOKs in the post-CED defects up to the 36th day after transplantation, the combination of MSCs or MSCs/pOKs with or without SEMS application did not prevent post-CED strictures development. The mixture of MSCs and pOKs resulted in the formation of cellular aggregates, which were mainly observed in submucosa, and the post-CED defect was covered with collagen fibers containing a thin scarred epithelium, accompanied by various degrees of reconstruction and integrity.CONCLUSION:
Suspension application of autologous MSCs alone or in combination with pOKs with or without SEMS was ineffective in the prevention of strictures formation after complete CED. Nevertheless, the presence of MSCs or pOKs in the post-CED defect was confirmed even 5 weeks after transplantation.Palavras-chave
