Abstract
Tissue engineering vascular grafts (TEVGs) constructed by decellularized arteries have the potential to replace autologous blood vessels in bypass surgery for patients with cardiovascular disease. There are various methods of decellularization without a standard protocol. Detergents approaches are simple, and easy control of experimental conditions. Non-ionic detergent Triton X-100 and ionic detergent sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) are the most commonly used detergents. In this study, we used Triton X-100 and SDS with different concentrations to decellularize porcine carotid arteries. After that, we investigated the acellular effect and mechanical properties of decellularized arteries to find a promising concentration combination for decellularization. Results showed that any detergents’ combination would damage the inherent structure of extracellular matrix, and the destruction increased with the increase of detergents’ concentration. We concluded that the decellularization approach of 0.5% Triton X-100 for 24 h combined with 0.25% SDS for 72 h could help to obtain decellularized arteries with minimum destruction. This protocol may be able to prepare a clinically suitable vascular scaffold for TEVGs.Keywords
