Colorectal anastomotic leakage is one of the most feared and fatal complications of colorectal surgery. To date, no external coating material that can prevent anastomotic leakage has been developed. As myoblasts possess anti-inflammatory capacity and improve wound healing, we developed a multilayered human skeletal muscle myoblast (HSMM) sheet by periodic exposure to supraphysiological hydrostatic pressure during repeated cell seeding. We assessed whether the application of an HSMM sheet can promote the healing process after colonic anastomosis. Partial colectomy and insufficient suturing were employed to create a high-risk colo-colonic anastomosis model in 60 nude rats. Rats were divided into a control group ( = 30) and an HSMM sheet group ( = 30). Macroscopic findings, anastomotic bursting pressure, and histology at the colonic anastomotic site were evaluated on postoperative day (POD) 3, 5, 7, 14, and 28. The application of an HSMM sheet significantly suppressed abscess formation at the anastomotic site compared to the control group on POD3 and 5. The anastomotic bursting pressure in the HSMM sheet group was higher than that in the control group on POD3 and 5. Inflammatory cell infiltration in the HSMM sheet group was significantly suppressed compared to that in the control group throughout the time course. Collagen deposition in the HSMM sheet group on POD3 was significantly abundant compared to that in the control group. Regeneration of the mucosa at the colonic anastomotic site was promoted in the HSMM sheet group compared to that in the control group on POD14 and 28. Immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated that surviving cells in the HSMM sheet gradually decreased with postoperative time and none were detected on POD14. These results suggest that the application of a multilayered HSMM sheet may prevent postoperative colonic anastomotic leakage.

Skeletal muscle comprises a heterogeneous population of myoblasts and fibroblasts. Autologous skeletal muscle myoblasts are transplanted to patients with ischemia to promote cardiac regeneration. In damaged hearts, various cytokines secreted from the skeletal muscle myoblasts promote angiogenesis and consequently the recovery of cardiac functions.

Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a highly malignant tumor type of skeletal muscle origin, hallmarked by local invasion. Interaction between invasive tumor cells and normal cells plays a major role in tumor invasion and metastasis. Culturing tumor cells in a three-dimensional (3D) model can translate tumor malignancy relevant cell-cell interaction.

Automated manufacturing is a key for tissue-engineered therapeutic products to become common-place and economical. Here, we developed an automatic cell sheet stacking apparatus to fabricate 3-dimensional tissue-engineered constructs exploiting our cell sheet manipulator technique, where cell sheets harvested from temperature-responsive culture dishes are stacked into a multilayered cell sheet. By optimizing the stacking conditions and cell seeding conditions, the apparatus was eventually capable of reproducibly making five-layer human skeletal muscle myoblast (HSMM) sheets with a thickness of approximately 70-80 μm within 100 min.

Using a cell sheet stacking method, we developed an in vitro culture system in which green fluorescent protein expressing human umbilical vein endothelial cells (GFP-HUVECs) were cultured under human skeletal muscle myoblast (HSMM) sheets with different layer numbers. Our aim in developing this system was to examine the different endothelial behaviors in the cell sheet. During 96 h of incubation, in monolayer HSMM sheet, HUVECs quickly reached the top of the cell sheet and detached.
