Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we focused on the development of a novel biomimetic vascular graft purposing application for congenital heart disease. For this research period, we had made the reasonable vascular scaffold, followed by decellularization of rat-derived intestinal tissue. However, although most critical issue in this project was to achieve the improved recellularization, we could not have a successful cell attachment to the scaffold. In addition, we tried to increasing cell number in the scaffold by use of collagen-anchoring original technology, unfortunately, resulted in unchanged cell engraftment. In conclusion, we could not reach an initial goal, however, some technical issues regarding improved cell engraftment such as adopting other growth factor were clarified. Therefore, we might continue the investigation for creating a new device, to improve the prognosis of the patients with congenital heat disease.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本課題の目標は、先天性心疾患の予後改善に資する新たな人工血管を開発することである。つまり、現行の人工血管では得られない動的(拍動)機能を付与するため、生細胞の人工血管への再播種・生着が最大のハードルである。本研究期間では、生体組織の基材作成(動物組織の脱細胞化)についてはクリア出来たものの、基材への細胞生着率の向上に関しては十分な成果が得られなかった。しかし、細胞生着に必要な知見は日々更新されており、我々のオリジナルアンカリングタンパクに用いる成長因子に関しても多くの選択肢があるため、今後も細胞生着率向上に向けて研究を継続したい。
