Abstract

As a Natural decellularized extracellular matrix, osteochondral tissue is the best scaffold for the restoration of osteoarthritis defects. Bioscaffolds have the most similarly innate properties like biomechanical properties and the preserved connection of the bone-to-cartilage border. Although, their compacity and low porosity particularly, are proven to be difficulties of decellularization and cell penetration. This study aims to develop a new bioscaffold of decellularized osteochondral tissue (DOT) that is recellularized by bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs), as a biphasic allograft, which preserved the interface between the cartilage section and subchondral bone of the joint. Whole osteochondral tissues of rabbit knee joints were sheeted in cartilaginous parts in 200–250 µm sections while connected to the subchondral bone and then fully decellularized. The BM-MSCs were seeded on the scaffolds in vitro; some constructs were subcutaneously implanted into the back of the rabbit. The cell penetration, differentiation to bone and cartilage, viability, and cell proliferation in vitro and in vivo were evaluated by qPCR, histological staining, MTT assay, and immunohistochemistry. DNA content analysis and SEM assessments confirmed the decellularization of the bioscaffold. Then, histological and SEM evaluations indicated that the cells could successfully penetrate the bone and cartilage lacunas in implanted grafts. MTT assay confirmed cell proliferation. Prominently, gene expression analysis showed that seeded cells differentiated into osteoblasts and chondrocytes in both bone and cartilage sections. More importantly, seeded cells on the bioscaffold started ECM secretion. Our results indicate that cartilage-to-bone border integrity was largely preserved. Additionally, ECM-sheeted DOT could be employed as a useful scaffold for promoting the regeneration of osteochondral defects.
