Selection of Optimal Protocol for Decellularization of Extracellular Matrix of Mesenchymal Stromal Cells of Human Umbilical Cord Tissue
摘要
To obtain extracellular matrix (ECM) of umbilical cord multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (UC-MSCs), six decellularization protocols were used, based on physical (freeze/thaw) and chemical (Triton-X100, CHAPS, SDS, and NP-40) methods. The quality of decellularization was assessed using phase-contrast and fluorescence microscopy, quantitative image analysis was performed as well. It was shown that protocols based on CHAPS/NH4OH and Triton X-100/NH4OH are optimal for decellularizing UC-MSC layers and provide high-quality ECM. The SDS-based protocol may be useful when certain requirements to matrix structure are specified. The presented data will be in demand for the development of biomedical products.
