* Dewaxed ECM: A simple method for analyzing cell behaviour on decellularized extracellular matrices. |
- Decellularization techniques have been used on a wide variety of tissues to create cell-seedable scaffolds for tissue engineering. Finding a suitable decellularization protocol for a certain type of tissue can be laborious, especially when organ perfusion devices are needed. In this study, we report a quick and simple method for comparing decellularization protocols combining the use of paraffin slices and two-dimensional cell cultures. We developed three decellularization protocols for adult murine kidney that yielded decellularized extracellular matrices (ECMs) with varying histological properties. The resulting paraffin-embedded ECM slices were deparaffinized and reseeded with murine embryonic stem cells (mESCs). We analyzed cell attachment four days post seeding via determination of cell numbers, and used quantitative Real-Time PCR 13 days post seeding to measure gene expression levels of two genes associated with renal development, Pax2 and Pou3f3. The three decellularization protocols produced kidney-matrices that showed clearly distinguishable results. We demonstrated that formerly paraffin-embedded decellularized ECMs can effectively influence differentiation of stem cells. This method can be used to identify optimal decellularization protocols for recellularization of three-dimensional tissue-scaffolds with embryonic stem cells and other tissue-specific cell types. |
