The fate of a tissue-engineered cardiac graft in the right ventricular outflow tract of the rat

Abstract

The synthetic materials currently available for the repair of cardiac defects are nonviable, do not grow as the child develops, and do not contract synchronously with the heart. We developed a beating patch by seeding fetal cardiomyocytes in a biodegradable scaffold in vitro. The seeded patches survived in the right ventricular outflow tract of adult rats. Cultured fetal or adult rat heart cells (1 x 10(6) cells) were seeded into a gelatin sponge (15 x 15 x 1 mm), and the cell number was expanded in culture for 1 or 3 weeks, respectively. The free wall of the right ventricular outflow tract in syngeneic adult rats was resected and repaired with either unseeded patches or patches seeded with either fetal or adult cardiomyocytes (n = 10 for each group). The patches were examined histologically over a 12-week period. A significant inflammatory reaction was noted in the patch at 4 weeks as the scaffold dissolved. At 12 weeks, the gelatin scaffold had completely dissolved. Both types of the seeded cells were detected in the patch with 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine staining, and they maintained their continuity. Unseeded patches had an ingrowth of fibrous tissue. The patches became thinner between the fourth and the twelfth weeks in unseed...Continue Reading

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
