摘要

Appropriate matrix formation, turnover and remodeling in tissue-engineered small diameter vascular conduits are crucial for their long-term function. The interaction between cells and extra-cellular components is indispensable in determining cellular behavior in tissues and on biomaterials. The fibrin that contains fibronectin shows promise in most aspects as a tissue engineering scaffold, whereas, deposition of elastin and collagen by endothelial cells grown in the lumen of the construct is desirable to improve post implant retention, mechanical stability and vaso-responsiveness. So far there is no report on production of extra-cellular matrix (ECM) proteins, elastin and collagen by endothelial cells (EC) in in vitro culture conditions. In this study, we have used a biomimetic approach of providing multiple growth factors (GF) in the fibronectin (FN)-containing fibrin matrix to induce production of elastin and collagen by the endothelial cells for application in vascular tissue engineering. Depositionof elastin and collagens with matrix remodeling is demonstrated through qualitative analysis of the matrices that were recovered after growing cells on the initial fibrin-FN-GF matrix. Expressions of mRNA for both proteins were assessed by real time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to estimate the effects of multiple growth factor compositions. Marked deposition of elastin and collagen was evidenced by staining the recovered matrix after different culture intervals. Obviously, the biomimetic environment created by adding angiogenic and platelet growth factors in the fibrin-fibronectin-gelatin matrix can induce deposition of collagens and elastin by EC.
