Macrophage differentiation and polarization on a decellularized pericardial biomaterial.

ABSTRACT: The monocyte-derived macrophage (MDM), present at biomaterial implantations, can increase, decrease or redirect the inflammatory and subsequent wound healing process associated with the presence of a biomaterial. Understanding MDM responses to biomaterials is important for improved prediction and design of biomaterials for tissue engineering. This study analyzed the direct differentiation of monocytes on intact, native collagen. Human monocytes were differentiated on decellularized bovine pericardium (DBP), polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) or polystyrene (TCPS) for 14 d. MDMs on all surfaces released high amounts of MMP-9 compared to MMP-2 and relatively little MMP-1. MDMs differentiated on DBP released more MMP-2, but less acid phosphatase activity. MDMs on all three surfaces released low amounts of cytokines, although substrate differences were found: MDMs on DBP released higher amounts of IL-6, IL-8, and MCP-1 but lower amounts of IL-10 and IL-1ra. This research provides evidence that MDMs on decellularized matrices may not be stimulated towards an activated, inflammatory phenotype, supporting the potential of decellularized matrices for tissue engineering. This study also demonstrated that the differentiation surface affects MDM phenotype and therefore study design of macrophage interactions with biomaterials should scrutinize the specific macrophage culture method utilized and its effects on macrophage phenotype.

Project description:Fixed pericardial tissue is commonly used for commercially available xenograft valve implants, and has proven durability, but lacks the capability to remodel and grow. Decellularized porcine pericardial tissue has the promise to outperform fixed tissue and remodel, but the decellularization process has been shown to damage the collagen structure and reduce mechanical integrity of the tissue. Therefore, a comparison of uniaxial tensile properties was performed on decellularized, decellularized-sterilized, fixed, and native porcine pericardial tissue versus native valve leaflet cusps. The results of non-parametric analysis showed statistically significant differences (p < .05) between the stiffness of decellularized versus native pericardium and native cusps as well as fixed tissue, respectively; however, decellularized tissue showed large increases in elastic properties. Porosity testing of the tissues showed no statistical difference between decellularized and decell-sterilized tissue compared with native cusps (p > .05). Scanning electron microscopy confirmed that valvular endothelial and interstitial cells colonized the decellularized pericardial surface when seeded and grown for 30 days in static culture. Collagen assays and transmission electron microscopy analysis showed limited reductions in collagen with processing; yet glycosaminoglycan assays showed great reductions in the processed pericardium relative to native cusps. Decellularized pericardium had comparatively low mechanical properties among the groups studied; yet the stiffness was comparatively similar to the native cusps and demonstrated a lack of cytotoxicity. Suture retention, accelerated wear, and hydrodynamic testing of prototype decellularized and decell-sterilized valves showed positive functionality. Sterilized tissue could mimic valvular mechanical environment in vitro, therefore making it a viable potential candidate for off-the-shelf tissue-engineered valvular applications.
