Comparison of different strategies for in vivo seeding of prevascularized scaffolds.
Tissue Eng. Part C Meth. 20, 11-18 (2014)
Scaffolds seeded with multipotent precursor cells were hypothesized to heal critically sized bone defects. However, the success of this concept was limited by low cell survival after transplantation due to a lack of nutrients and oxygen. In vivo prevascularization of scaffolds before cell seeding may improve cell survival, yet the best seeding technique and time point of cell application remain elusive. Thus, the aim of this study was to compare different strategies. Demineralized bone matrix scaffolds were implanted around the saphenous arteriovenous (AV) bundle in nude mice. In vivo seeding was performed 0, 5, or 21 days after implantation using enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP)-expressing mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Cells were applied either by injection or the repetitive dripping technique. In vitro seeded and subcutaneously implanted scaffolds served as controls. Fourteen days after cell application, the fluorescence intensity of transplanted cells and the extent of newly formed vessels were quantified. We found that the AV flow through model as well as cell application increased vessel formation. In vitro seeding resulted in significantly higher cell numbers than in vivo seeding. With increasing time of prevascularization, the number of cells declined dramatically. In vivo seeding by cell injection was superior to the repetitive dripping protocol. On subcutaneously implanted scaffolds, significantly, more cells were found than on axially perfused scaffolds. We conclude that in vitro seeding is more efficient compared to the two novel in vivo seeding techniques of prevascularized scaffolds. With increasing time of prevascularization, the seeding efficiency for the in vivo methods further decreases, presumably due to the ingrowth of connective tissue. Even though, the presence of MSCs and the longer period of prevascularization enhances vessel formation, this conceivable advantage is limited supposedly by the inferior seeding efficiency.
