Cytocompatibility of collagen membranes with bladder transitional cells of rabbit in vitro
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the cytocompatibility of collagen membranes with transitional cells of rabbit in vitro and to discuss the possibility of the collagen membranes as urologic tissue engineering scaffolds.
METHODS: Primary cultured transitional cells isolated from New Zealand rabbits were implanted on collagen membranes at 1 x 10(5) cells/cm2. The changes of cell adhering were observed by inverted microscope and scanning electron microscope 2, 12 and 24 hours later. The experiment was divided into 4 groups: non-cell group (black control) culture medium group (negative control), extract medium from Polyvinyl chloride group(positive control) and extract medium from collagen membranes group(experimental group). The cells of generations 2 to 4 were implanted in 96-hole-plank at 1 x 10(4) cells every hole. And every group had 5 holes. Then absorption coefficient were detected at the wave length of 490 nm by MTT assay. Then the cytotoxicity and cytocompatibility were evaluated by comparison of the numbers of absorption coefficient.
RESULTS: The bladder transitional cells began to adhere to the collagen membrane 2 hours after implanting, and the number of the adhered cells increased with time. The actual absorption coefficient of experimental groups was 0.590 +/- 0.024, 1.065 +/- 0.40 and 1.129 +/- 0.074 after 24, 72 and 120 hours. The actual absorption coefficient of negative control group was 0.639 +/- 0.068, 1.022 +/- 0.044 and 1.087 +/- 0.111. The actual absorption…
