Abstract
Abstract
Detergent treatment is the most commonly used method for the decellularization of ligaments and tendon grafts. However, it is well recognized that detergent treatment can also adversely affect the extracellular matrix. This study found that discission into the aponeurosis layer of the patellar tendon (PT) before decellularization is conducive to extracting cells from the PT using a low quantity of detergent in a short time period. The acellular aponeurosis discission ligament (AADL) retains its native collagen fibril structure and mechanical properties. Moreover, the PT retained cell and tissue compatibility in vitro and in vivo. After implantation into a defective allogeneic PT, we found that the AADL healed well in the host, and its collagen structure exhibited gradual improvement 12 months after implantation with satisfactory reconstruction.
Impact
The aponeurosis of tendons/ligaments is the main barrier to achieving complete decellularization, and it thus prevents complete recellularization for applications in tissue engineering. Aponeurosis can obstruct the removal of cell components. We found that excising the aponeurosis before decellularization allows for the removal of cellular components with a reduced amount of detergent, thus improving the biological properties of the acellular ligament. To the best of our knowledge, no similar studies have been performed.
