Description

Method for decellularizing mammalian cornea
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of tissue engineering, and particularly relates to a method for preparing a decellularized cornea by pretreating and decellularizing a mammalian cornea.
Background
Keratopathy is the second leading cause of corneal blindness. 80% of patients with keratopathy can avoid blindness by corneal transplantation. However, under the influence of traditional culture in China, the donation of the cornea is less, so that the allogenic cornea donors are deficient, the operation of receiving the cornea transplantation every year in China is only 3000, and the appearance of the artificial cornea brings hope to patients with the cornea disease. The original artificial cornea remains as a cornea substitute processed from inorganic or organic materials. However, these materials cannot simulate the microstructure of natural cornea, and have poor biocompatibility, so that the materials are limited in clinical application and popularization. With the advent of tissue engineering, people have focused on natural animal corneal materials. Foreign cells and antigen substances of the heterogeneous cornea are removed by a decellularization method, so that a heterogeneous cell-free corneal extracellular matrix material is obtained.
The tissue engineering cornea material needs to meet three most basic requirements in clinical application, namely the thoroughness of removing heterogeneous corneal cells, the transparency of the cornea and the physiological radian of the cornea. When the tissue engineering cornea material is transplanted to a patient, if the foreign cells are not completely removed, immunological rejection reaction is generated, so that the transplanting effect is poor; the final purpose is to ensure that the corneal material is transparent after transplantation, if the microstructure is greatly damaged in the acellular process and the transparency is not recovered well after transplantation, the vision of a patient is still affected, and the life of the patient is not improved; the cutting means of the cornea can affect the physiological radian of the sliced lamina, if the cutting is smooth, the radian can be well preserved, and the flatness of the section can directly affect the success rate of corneal transplantation and the recovery condition after transplantation, which are important factors to be considered in clinical application.
At present, scholars at home and abroad carry out a great deal of experimental research on mammalian corneas of pigs, cattle, sheep and the like, but still can not meet the clinical requirements. The methods commonly used today for decellularization include chemical, physical and biological enzymatic methods. The conventional single chemical method or physical method for decellularization needs a long-time action to achieve the decellularization effect, and the long-time action causes the microstructure of the corneal collagen to be damaged. Patent document 201510074946.7 (patent name: a method for preparing artificial cornea) prepares lamellar corneas using a lamellar knife, drills a corneal lamella of a prescribed size, and carries out decellularization by freeze thawing and ultrasonic-endonuclease degradation. In the method, the lamellar cornea is obtained by using the lamellar cutter, so that the flatness of the section cannot be ensured, the joint between the grafted lamellar cutter and a graft bed is affected, and the postoperative transparency is recovered. Patent document 201410230365.3 (patent name: a lamellar cornea matrix scaffold and a preparation method thereof) animal corneas are sequentially subjected to hypotonic swelling, repeated freeze thawing and enzyme digestion treatment by utilizing a buffer system of DNA enzyme and RNA enzyme. Patent document 201610080864.8 (patent name: method for preparing bovine corneal stroma using fresh bovine cornea and application method) comprises soaking bovine corneal in hypotonic solution, taking out corneal epithelial cells to obtain bovine corneal stroma comprising a front elastic layer and a partial stroma layer, repeatedly freezing and thawing, rinsing with buffer solution, soaking in decellularization reagent to remove cells, washing with ultrapure water, soaking in dehydrating agent, and sterilizing to obtain bovine corneal stroma. Both of the above two patent techniques use hypotonic solutions that cause the cornea to swell easily, are more destructive to the corneal stromal structure, and do not incubate to soften the decellularized cornea.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the defects and limitations of the prior art, the invention provides a method for preparing the acellular corneal stroma which has good transparency and compact structure and is close to the natural characteristics of human cornea by adopting a physical method and a low-toxicity reagent. The method is a decellularization method widely applied to mammalian corneas, and comprises a pretreatment step and a decellularization step, wherein the pretreatment step comprises cleaning, scraping and cutting; the decellularization step includes freezing, wen Ronghe removal. Wherein:
the cleaning is to clean the obtained mammal eyeball with cleaning fluid, wherein the cleaning fluid is sterile PBS solution containing antibiotics; the antibiotic is an antibiotic known in the medical field.
Scraping refers to scraping the corneal epithelial layer to expose the anterior elastic layer to remove epithelial cells.
The cutting refers to cutting the cleaned and scraped cornea, and the thickness of the lamellar cornea can be determined by a person skilled in the art according to the subsequent treatment requirement and the clinical use requirement. The applicant concluded through a large number of experiments that the cornea made by the method is convenient for subsequent treatment and can meet the clinical requirements when the thickness is 200-500 μm.
Freezing comprises sealing cornea and placing in liquid nitrogen for 5-60min; the skilled person can select the specific time required for freezing according to the specific amount of the cornea, the short freezing time may not serve the purpose of freezing and crystallizing the cells, thereby causing the cells to be broken incompletely, the long freezing time may cause the collagen fiber of the cornea to be damaged, thereby causing the basic structure of the cornea to be difficult to recover, and the production cost to be increased.
Warm thawing involves thawing the frozen cornea in a water bath; thawing refers to the process of thawing a frozen cornea into a state similar to that before freezing.
The removing comprises the steps of firstly putting the cornea after warm melting into a cell removing reagent for oscillation treatment, and then putting the cornea into isotonic solution for ultrasonic treatment. The decellularization reagent can be selected from the decellularization reagents commonly used in the prior art in the field, such as the decellularization reagent disclosed in patent document CN 104001217A.
