Objective Extracellular matrix is one of the focus researches of the adi pose tissue engineering. To investigate the appropriate method to prepare the porcine skeletal muscle acellular matrix and to evaluate the biocompatibility of the matrix. Methods The fresh skeletal muscle tissues were harvested from healthy adult porcine and were sl iced into2-3 mm thick sheets, which were treated by hypotonic-detergent method to remove the cells from the tissue. The matrix was then examined by histology, immunohistochemistry, and scanning electron microscopy. The toxic effects of the matrix were tested by MTT. Human adi pose-derived stem cells (hADSCs) were isolated from adi pose tissue donated by patients with breast cancer, and identified by morphology, flow cytometry, and differentiation abil ity. Then, hADSCs of passage 3 were seeded into the skeletal muscle acellular matrix, and cultured in the medium. The cellular behavior was assessed by calcein-AM (CA) and propidium iodide (PI) staining at 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th days after culturing. Results Histology, immunohistochemistry, and scanning electron microscopy showed that the muscle fibers were removed completely with the basement membrane structure; a large number of collagenous matrix presented as regular network, porous-like structure. The cytotoxicity score of the matrix was grade 1, which meant that the matrix had good cytocompatibil ity. The CA and PI staining showed the seeded hADSCs had the potential of spread and prol iferation on the matrix. Conclusion Porcine skeletal muscle acellular matrix has good biocompatibility and a potential to be used as an ideal biomaterial scaffold for adi pose tissue engineering.
To study the effect of autogeneic PRP on prol iferation and osteogenetic differentiation of human adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) in vitro. Methods ADSCs were isolated from adipose tissue obtained from donor undergoing l iposuction and were cultured, and growth condition of the cells was observed by inverted microscope. ADSCs at passage 3 were cultured in adipogenic or chondrogenic medium and underwent identification, immunofluorescence staining observations for CD29 and CD44 were performed. ADSCs at passage 3 were divided into 2 groups: PRP group cultured by osteogenic induction culture medium containing 10 mL/L PRP, and control group cultured by osteogenic induction culture medium without PRP. Then growth condition of the cells was observed by inverted microscope. MTT method was used to observe cell prol iferation activity 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 days after culture. ALP activity detection was conducted 7, 14, 21 and 28 days after culture. ALP staining was performed on PRP group 7 and 14 days after culture. Al izarin red staining was performed on PRP group 14 days after culture to detect the formation of calcium nodule. Results Under the inverted microscope, most ADSCs at passage 3 were spindle-shaped and the doubl ing time was about 35 hours. Adipogenic and chondrogenic differentiation were confirmed, and the cells were positive for CD29 and CD44 immunofluorescence staining. MTT method revealed the absorbance value of PRP group at 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 days was 0.137 ± 0.015, 0.219 ± 0.023, 0.367 ± 0.031, 0.586 ± 0.039 and 0.948 ± 0.046, respectively, and in the control group, it was 0.081 ± 0.009, 0.115 ± 0.012, 0.162 ± 0.017, 0.242 ± 0.025 and 0.356 ± 0.032, respectively, suggesting there were significant differences between two groups (P lt; 0.01). At 7 days after osteogenic induction, PRP group was positive for ALP staining, grey-black cell plasm and black precipitate were evident; the positive cells increased
