Research Abstract

1)Isolation and implantation of cells from small intestine
Mixtures of mucosal and mesenchymal cells, so called 'intestinal epithelial organoid units', were isolated from neonatal rats. We modified this method with changing the concentration of collagenase suspension and the duration of digestion, which improved the number of isolated organoid units 20% more then the conventional method.
The isolated organoid units were seeded to polymer tubes created from polyglycolic acid (PGA) and implanted to the syngenic rat. Three weeks after the implantation, the unit-polymer constructs grew up to create cyst, which was lined with well-developed neomucosa. The neointestine was then anastomosed to native jejunum. Twelve weeks after the anastomosis, the neointestine grew up to 4cm in average length and showed the same level of glucose absorptive function as normal intestine.
2)Development of polymer scaffolds
The polymer scaffold made from PGA fiber had a disadvantage in cell attachment since the seed … More ed cells only attached at the crossing of the fibers. We assumed that the PGA fiber was not suitable for cell attachment due to its round surface and created membranes between each fiber with 7% poly-lactic acid (PLLA) solution. Moreover, the surface of the PLLA membrane was hydrolyzed with NaOH solution because PLLA itself was poor in cell affinity. With histological study of the polymer after seeding, these modifications improved the attachment of the seeded cells to the polymer scaffolds dramatically.
The modified PGA polymer was implanted into rats after cell seeding ; however, we missed to induce neomorphogenesis of small intestine in this approach. To clarify the reason for this disappointed result, the polymer scaffolds were harvested a few days after implantation and sent to histological study, which showed that most of the seeded cells, especially the cells close to the center of the polymer scaffold, died within a couple of days after implantation. From these findings, we assumed that the modification of the PGA polymer increased the number of implanted cells, which amplified consumption of oxygen and nutrients for their survival. However, the PLLA membrane disturbed their transport and most of the implanted cells died due to the lack of oxygen and nutrients for their survival.
3)Evolution of microcapsule
Microcapsule made of gelatin could be used for controlled release of epidermal growth factor (EGF). Also the concentration and duration of EGF release could be managed with changing the water density of the gelatin. However, the microcapsule was not applied to in vivo experiment because of the failure in creating new polymer scaffolds. Less
