Abstract:
Following implantation of biomaterial patches into the gastrointestinal tract, we analyzed the host's response towards the foreign material. Asymmetric patches of polydioxanone covered Vicryl or poly-3-hydroxybutyrate were sutured onto the rat stomach. Tissue samples were generated at distinct time intervals after surgery, and RNA profiles were compared by Differential Display. RT-PCR analysis of gene candidates that seemed differentially expressed showed that vitamin D binding protein mRNA was induced in stomach tissue after implantation of the biomaterial patches. In parallel, the amount of C-reactive protein mRNA was found to be increased transiently as well. Implants induce a tissue response that is specific for a given material.
