Preparation and in vitro biocompatibility of xenogenic(porcine)acellular dermal matrix / 中国组织工程研究

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Human allogenic acellular dermal matrix, as a kind of permanent dermal scaffold, has widely used in the fields of burn wound reparation and aesthetic medicine. However, it is limited due to insufficient resources. OBJECTIVE: To prepare porcine acellular dermal matrix (PADM) dermal matrix, in addition, to estimate its in vitro biocompatibility. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: An in vitro cytology contrast experiment. The Experiment was performed at the laboratory of Biomaterials and Pharmacy Technology Institute, China Institute for Radiation Protection between August 2007 and June 2008. MATERIALS The experiment pigs were supplied by experimental animal center of China Institute for Radiation Protection. Human fibroblasts were obtained from prepuce tissues of healthy children who underwent circumcision at the Shanxi Provincial General Hospital, Chinese People's Armed Police Forces. METHODS: The PADM was prepared from porcine skin by removing epidermis with a hypertonic salt solution and excluding cellular components in dermis with sodium dodecyl sulfate, and trypsin in hypersonic conditions. Human fibroblasts were cultured in vitro, and the biocompatibility of PADM was estimated with MTT method and contact method. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ①Histological morphology of PADM. ②In vitro biocompatibility of PADM. RESULTS: The prepared PADM was a kind of matrix with normal structure and organization of collagen without epidermis and any cellular components in the dermis. The extraction of the porcine acellular dermal matrix had no effect on proliferation of the cultured human fibroblast. The cultured human fibroblasts could attach and proliferate on PADM. CONCLUSION: The PADM effectively removed epidermis and all cellular components with excellent biocompatibility can be obtained by this preparation method.
