The aim of this paper is to describe the initiation process of a homograft procurement program to attenuate the shortage of organs. A comprehensive description of the infrastructure and procedural steps required to initiate a cardiac and vascular tissue donation program combined with a prospective follow-up of all homografts explanted at our institution. Between January 2020 and May 2022, 28 hearts and 12 pulmonary bifurcations were harvested at our institution and delivered to the European homograft bank. Twenty-seven valves (19 pulmonary valves, 8 aortic valves) were processed and allocated for implantation. The reasons for discarding a graft were either contamination (n = 14), or morphology (n = 13) or leaflet damage (n = 2). Five homografts (3 PV, 2 AV) have been cryopreserved and stored while awaiting allocation. One pulmonary homograft with a leaflet cut was retrieved by bicuspidization technique and awaits allocation, as a highly requested small diameter graft. The implementation of a tissue donation program in cooperation with a homograft bank can be achieved with reasonable additional efforts at a transplant center with an in-house cardiac surgery department. Challenging situations with a potential risk of tissue injury during procurement include re-operation, harvesting by a non-specialist surgeon and prior central cannulation for mechanical circulatory support.</p>","PeriodicalId":9723,"journal":{"name":"Cell and Tissue Banking","volume":" ","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10126547/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9356765","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Initially SSCs were isolated from healthy immature mice and cultured on prepared scaffolds (HA, SN, and HA/SN) in a 3D culture system. Then viability of SSCs cultured on scaffolds was examined using MTT assay and Acridine Orange staining. Then SSCs cultured on scaffolds were transplanted into epididymal adipose tissue (EAT) in mature mice and the result was studied by H&E and IHC staining 8 weeks after transplantation. MTT and Acridine Orange analysis revealed that among three different scaffolds HA/SN based scaffold causes considerable toxicity on SSCs (P < 0.05) while H&E staining showed that culture of SSCs on HA, SN, and HA/SN scaffolds has a positive effect on the progression of SSCs spermatogenesis after transplantation into EAT. IHC staining identified TP1, TEKT1, and PLZF as crucial biomarkers in the spermatogenesis development of SSCs transplanted to EAT. According to the presence of these biomarkers in different experimental groups, we found the most spermatogenesis development in SSCs cultured on HA/SN scaffold (PLZF, P < 0.01) (TEKT1, P < 0.01) (TP1, P < 0.001).

In this study, we proposed the development of a bovine collagen type I: chondroitin-6-sulphate (CG) scaffold, obtained from Uruguayan raw material (certified as free bovine spongiform encephalopathy), with CG crosslinking enhancement using different gamma radiation doses.

Among the diverse porous scaffolds obtained, the one with the most adequate properties was the one exposed to 15 kGy of gamma radiation. This radiation dose contributed to the crosslinking of molecules, to the formation of new bonds and/or to the reorganization of the collagen fibers. The selected scaffold was non-cytotoxic for the tested cells and a suitable substrate for cell proliferation.
