ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Tissue engineering is widely applied to treat osteochondral damage in osteoarthritis (OA). However, the superposition of seed cells, material scaffolds, inducing factors, and microenvironmental factors limit their practical application. We intended to develop a novel tissue engineering method for improving the repairment of osteochondral damage and to discuss its effect on repairing osteochondral defects.METHODS:
The combined decellularization methods of physics, chemistry and enzymes were used to decellularize rabbit rib cartilage and articular cartilage, and rabbit decellularizated osteochondral composite scaffolds were prepared. The structure and organization of the scaffolds were analyzed. We extracted and identified infrapatellar fat pad stem cells (IPFP-SCs) from healthy rabbits and OA rabbit, which were different in viability, migration, osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation. Finally, a variety of decellularizated bone cartilage composite scaffolds were loaded with rabbit IPFP-SC for in vitro and in vivo studies.RESULTS:
The decellularization effect was strong, and the organic ingredients were lost. The layered scaffold showed lower density, greater porosity, larger pore size and water absorption than the whole scaffold, but the mechanical properties of the two scaffolds were low. IPFP-SCs were successfully extracted, and the migration and cartilage ability of IPFP-SCs in OA group were weak. The decellularized scaffold showed a high biocompatibility. The structure and composition of osteochondral promoted osteogenic differentiation and chondrogenic differentiation of IPFP-SCs. Moreover, the decellularized extracellular matrix loaded with IPFP-SC had the strongest repairing effect.CONCLUSION:
The decellularized extracellular matrix loaded with IPFP-SC showed a better repair effect on rabbit osteochondral defects.
