Effect of book-shaped acellular tendon scaffold with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells sheets on bone-tendon interface healing.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Tissue engineering has exhibited great effect on treatment for bone-tendon interface (BTI) injury. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a book-shaped acellular tendon scaffold (ATS) with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells sheets (MSCS) for BTI injury repair.

Methods

ATS was designed based on the shape of "book", decellularization effect was evaluated by Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), 4', 6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), then bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were cultured on ATS to assess the differentiation inductivity of ATS. A rabbit right partial patellotomy model was established, and MSCS seeded on ATS were implanted into the lesion site. The patella-patellar tendon (PPT) at 2, 4, 8 or 16 weeks pos
