Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Regenerative Medicine
  • Tissue Engineering

Background:

  • Tracheal defects pose significant clinical challenges.
  • Current treatments for tracheal defects have limitations.
  • Tissue engineering offers a promising alternative for trachea reconstruction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a scaffold-bioreactor system for growing tissue-engineered trachea.
  • To investigate the effect of fluid flow on neotissue development.
  • To evaluate the potential of engineered trachea for clinical application.

Main Methods:

  • Chondrocytes were seeded onto poly(epsilon-caprolactone)-type II collagen scaffolds.
  • Scaffolds were cultured in a bioreactor with continuous fluid flow (5-20 rpm).
  • Constructs were analyzed for cell proliferation, GAG, and collagen content; implantation in rabbits was performed.

Main Results:

  • Rotational speeds in the bioreactor induced shear stress (0.189-0.752 dyne/cm(2)).
  • Optimal rotation (15 rpm) significantly increased cell proliferation (2-fold), GAG (170%), and collagen (240%) compared to static culture.
  • Histological analysis revealed neocartilage formation and chondrocyte alignment; in vivo studies showed re-epithelialization.

Conclusions:

  • The scaffold-bioreactor system effectively promotes the development of trachea-like neotissue.
  • Fluid flow in bioreactors is crucial for enhancing chondrocyte growth and matrix deposition.
  • This study represents a significant step towards practical tissue-engineered trachea regeneration.
