This study presents an efficient detergent perfusion method for decellularizing whole livers, creating an intact extracellular matrix scaffold. This scaffold shows promise for hepatic organ reconstruction due to its preserved architecture and biocompatibility.

Area of Science:

Biomaterials Science
Tissue Engineering
Regenerative Medicine

Context:

Developing decellularized tissue scaffolds is crucial for organ regeneration.
Maintaining the intricate three-dimensional structure of organs like the liver is a significant challenge.
Existing decellularization methods often struggle to preserve vascular and biliary networks.

Purpose:

To develop an innovative method for preparing a whole-liver scaffold using decellularization technology.
To preserve the liver's intact three-dimensional geometry, vasculature, and bile duct system.
To evaluate the efficacy of detergent perfusion via the portal vein for liver decellularization.

Summary:

A whole-liver scaffold was successfully prepared using sequential perfusion of Triton X-100 and SDS through the portal vein.

Histological analyses (H&E, Masson's trichrome, orcein staining) and SEM confirmed the removal of cells while preserving the extracellular matrix, collagen, and elastic fibers.

Polymer injection demonstrated the integrity of the vascular and biliary systems, and co-culture with C3A cells confirmed good scaffold biocompatibility.

Impact:

This decellularization technique provides a viable whole-liver scaffold with preserved architecture.
The method is efficient and suitable for hepatic organ reconstruction.
The resulting scaffold holds potential for advancing liver tissue engineering and regenerative therapies.
