| Research Abstract |
After 1 week, skin fibroblasts cultured on the temperature-responsive surfaces were then transferred at 20℃for non-invasive cell sheet harvest. For cell sheet transplantation, F-344 athymic rats were performed a left-lateral thoracotomy. An incision was set in left lung. Air leakages were confirmed and closed with the transplantation of cell sheets. After 4 weeks, re-thoracotomy was performed and the transplanted area was observed. Fibroblast sheets adhered to the lung surface without leural adhesion. Neovascular structure was present around the transplanted fibroblast sheet. On the outer surface, host mesothelial cells had migrated to cover the transplanted fibroblast sheet. In transmission electron microscopy, mesothelial cells had short immature microvilli and transplanted fibroblast sheets had present abundant extracellular matrix. Fibroblast sheets had secreted basic-FGF, VEGF, and HGF.
