Abstract

Animals Insulin Insulinoma Mice Pancreatic Neoplasms Perfusion Polyesters Porosity Tissue Engineering Tissue Scaffolds
To address the remaining issue of poor cell immobilization and insufficient mass transfer in scaffold-based tissue engineering approach for future islet transplantation, we employed a macro-porous poly-l-lactide (PLLA) scaffold immobilizing mouse insulinoma cells and studied its function toward an implantable pancreatic tissue in 7-day perfusion culture. The murine pancreatic β cells could be immobilized in the PLLA scaffold at a high density of 10 cells per cm close to the estimated range in normal pancreas. The perfusion culture promoted the 3D cellular organization as observed with live/dead staining and histological staining. The insulin production was significantly enhanced in comparison with static 2D culture and 3D rotational suspension culture by two and six folds, respectively (  < 0.001). As enhanced insulin response was only observed where both the perfusion and 3D cellular organization were present, this could represent important elements in engineering a functional bioartificial pancreas.
