Abstrakt: Background: Muscle tissue engineering still remains a major challenge. An axial vascular pedicle and a perfusion bioreactor are necessary for the development and maintenance of a large-volume engineered muscle tissue to provide circulation within the construct. This study aimed to determine whether large-volume vascularized muscle-like constructs could be made from rat groin adipose tissue in a perfusion bioreactor.
Methods: Epigastric adipofascial flaps based on the inferior superficial epigastric vessels were elevated bilaterally in male Lewis rats and connected to the bioreactor. The system was run using a cable pump and filled with myogenic differentiation medium in the perfusion bioreactor for 1, 3, 5, or 7 weeks. The resulting tissue constructs were characterized with respect to the morphology and muscle-related expression of genes and proteins.
Results: The histological examination demonstrated intact muscle-like tissue fibers; myogenesis was verified by the expression of myosin, MADS box transcription enhancer factor 2 D, desmin-a disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain (ADAM) 12-and M-cadherin using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Western blot analysis for desmin, MyoD1, N-cadherin, and ADAM12 was performed to verify the myogenic phenotype of the extracted differentiated tissue and prove the formation of muscle-like constructs.
Conclusions: A large-volume vascularized muscle tissue could be engineered in a perfusion bioreactor. The resulting tissue had muscle-like histological features and expressed muscle-related genes and proteins, indicating that the trans-differentiation of adipose tissue into muscle tissue occurred.
