Article Abstract
Introduction: The purpose of this study was to compare different decellularization protocols with the conventional detergent enzymatic method (DEM) using continuous agitation.
Methods: The first experiment compared conventional DEM with sonication and lyophilization+freeze-thaw cycles. A second experiment was carried out to compare time-adjusted DEM (2-hour instead of 4-hour incubations with 4% deoxycholate) to decellularization in a bioreactor. Cellularity was determined by DNA-quantitation, H&E-staining and immunostaining for major histocompatibility complex-1 (MHC-1).
Results: Compared to untreated trachea, DNA content significantly decreased after 2 cycles in all groups in the first experiment and dropped below the minimal criteria for efficient decellularization (<50 ng dsDNA/mg dry weight) after 4 cycles. However, nuclei were seen in the cartilage and MCH-1 staining was detected in some submucosal areas, indicating presence of chondrocytes and cellular residues that may render the scaffold immunogenic. In the second experiment DNA content significantly decreased after 1 cycle in both groups; however, even after 4 cycles, DNA content was above the minimal criteria for efficient decellularization. While collagen-levels remained stable, glycosaminoglycans diminished significantly after the initial cycles.
Conclusions: Efficient decellularization can be achieved after only 4 cycles of DEM compared to the 17 cycles previously reported. The use of a bioreactor can preserve the integrity of the extracellular matrix.

Article Synopsis
- Patch tracheoplasty is an alternative technique for treating congenital tracheal stenosis, which reduces tension during repair but has a higher risk of complications like restenosis and tracheal collapse.
- The study explores using a new decellularization method with CHAPS and DNase to create a biocompatible tracheal matrix and enhance epithelial regeneration using extracellular vesicles from adipose mesenchymal stem cells.
- Experimental results showed that this method improved cell proliferation and re-epithelialization in both lab testing and animal models, indicating potential for clinical application in repairing tracheal defects.

Introduction: Tracheal decellularization is one of the main processes to provide tracheal substitutes for tracheal replacement. Recently, studies have been held for agents and combinations of processes for tracheal decellularization with different outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of tracheal decellularization by the immunogenic cellular elements using residual deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) contents (ng/mg) and the preservation of biomechanical integrity by glycosaminoglycan (GAG) content (μg/mg), modulus tensile strength (MPa), ultimate tensile strength (MPa), and stress loading of 50% deformation (N).

Tracheal tissue engineering is still facing major challenges: realization of efficient vascularization and mechanical properties comparable to native trachea need to be achieved. In this study, we present a strategy for the manufacturing of a construct for tracheal tissue engineering by conditioning through cell seeding followed by mechanical stimulation in vitro. Scaffolds derived from porcine trachea decellularized with supercritical carbon dioxide were seeded with stem cells of different tissue sources and cultured in a bioreactor for 21 days under mechanical stimulation.

Objectives: A critical barrier to successful tracheal transplantation is poor vascularization. Despite its importance, little is known about microvascular regeneration in tissue-engineered grafts. We have demonstrated that partially decellularized tracheal grafts (PDTG) support neotissue formation including new submucosal microvasculature (CD31+).

The management of extensive tracheal resection followed by circumferential replacement remains a surgical challenge. Numerous techniques are proposed with mixed results. Partial decellularization of the trachea with the removal of the mucosal and submucosal cells is a promising method, reducing immunogenicity while preserving the biomechanical properties of the final matrix.
