    Area of Science:

    • Biomaterials Science
    • Vascular Biology
    • Tissue Engineering

    Background:

    • Dacron arterial prostheses are used in vascular surgery.
    • Understanding the host tissue response to synthetic grafts is crucial.
    • Biopolymer treatments may enhance graft integration.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the connective tissue synthesis within Dacron arterial prostheses implanted in dogs.
    • To evaluate the influence of biopolymer treatments on tissue integration.
    • To assess the biosynthetic capacity of cells repopulating the prosthesis.

    Main Methods:

    • Dacron prostheses, with or without biopolymer treatment, were implanted in canine abdominal aortas.
    • Tissue samples were cultured with 14C-lysine to assess macromolecular synthesis.

  • Chemical dissection and analysis of radioactivity and composition of extracted macromolecules were performed.
  • Histology was used to examine tissue structure and cellular repopulation.

    • Main Results:

    • Prostheses showed dense cellular repopulation with DNA content higher than adjacent aorta.
    • Histology confirmed a newly formed elastic membrane and elastic fibrils.
    • Macromolecular extracts contained collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycans, indicating full biosynthetic capacity.
    • Protein distribution and composition in extracts were similar to host aorta, with some age-related changes observed over time.
    • 14C-lysine incorporation patterns mirrored the host aorta, suggesting similar regulatory processes.

    Conclusions:

    • Dacron arterial prostheses can support the synthesis of hemocompatible vascular connective tissue.
    • Biopolymer pre-treatment can influence the nature of the synthesized connective tissue.
    • Organ culture with labeled precursors is a valid method to study matrix macromolecule synthesis in newly formed tissues within synthetic grafts.
