ABSTRACT
The goal of tissue decellularization is to efficiently remove unwanted cellular components, such as DNA and cellular debris, while retaining the complex structural and molecular milieu within the extracellular matrix (ECM). Decellularization protocols to date are centered on customized tissue-specific and lab-specific protocols that involve consecutive manual steps which results in variable and protocol-specific ECM material. The differences that result from the inconsistent protocols between decellularized ECMs affect consistency across batches, limit comparisons between results obtained from different laboratories, and could limit the transferability of the material for consistent laboratory or clinical use. The present study is the first proof-of-concept towards the development of a standardized protocol that can be used to derive multiple ECM biomaterials (powders and hydrogels) via a previously established automated system. The automated decellularization method developed by our group was used due to its short decellularization time (4 hours) and its ability to reduce batch-to-batch variability. The ECM obtained using this first iteration of a unified protocol was able to produce ECM hydrogels from skin, lung, muscle, tendons, cartilage, and laryngeal tissues. All hydrogels formed in this study were cytocompatible and showed gelation and rheological properties consistent with previous ECM hydrogels. The ECMs also showed unique proteomic composition. The present study represents the first step towards developing standardized protocols that can be used on multiple tissues in a fast, scalable, and reproducible manner.
