A Combination of Physical and Chemical Treatments Is More Effective in The Preparation of Acellular Uterine Scaffolds
OBJECTIVE: Decellularized uterine scaffold, as a new achievement in tissue engineering, enables recellularization and regeneration of uterine tissues and supports pregnancy in a fashion comparable to the intact uterus. The acellular methods are methods preferred in many respects due to their similar...

description | OBJECTIVE: Decellularized uterine scaffold, as a new achievement in tissue engineering, enables recellularization and regeneration of uterine tissues and supports pregnancy in a fashion comparable to the intact uterus. The acellular methods are methods preferred in many respects due to their similarity to normal tissue, so it is necessary to try to introduce an acellularization protocol with minimum disadvantages and maximum advantages. Therefore, this study aimed to compare different protocols to achieve the optimal uterus decellularization method for future in vitro and in vivo bioengineering experiments. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this experimental study, rat uteri were decellularized by four different protocols (P) using sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), with different doses and time incubations (P1 and P2), SDS/Triton-X100 sequentially (P3), and a combination of physical (freeze/thaw) and chemical reagents (SDS/Triton X-100). The scaffolds were examined by histopathological staining, DNA quantification, MTT assay, blood compatibility assay, FESEM, and mechanical studies. RESULTS: Histology assessment showed that only in P4, cell residues were completely removed. Masson’s trichrome staining demonstrated that in P3, collagen fibers were decreased; however, no damage was observed in the collagen bundles using other protocols. In indirect MTT assays, cell viabilities achieved by all used protocols were significantly higher than the native samples. The percentage of red blood cell (RBC) hemolysis in the presence of prepared scaffolds from all 4 protocols was less than 2%. The mechanical properties of none of the obtained scaffolds were significantly different from the native sample except for P3. CONCLUSION: Uteri decellularized with a combination of physical and chemical treatments (P4) was the most favorable treatment in our study with the complete removal of cell residue, preservation of the three-dimensional structure, complete removal of detergents, and preservation of the mechanical property of the scaffolds. |
