Description

Tubular vascular-like structure and construction method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of biomedical engineering, in particular to a tubular vascular structure and a construction method thereof.
Background
The human body vascular system is widely distributed, and the nutrient substances, oxygen, hormone and the like of various organs in the human body are provided for transportation, thus playing an important role in the growth and development of the whole body tissue organs and maintaining the functions.
The cardiovascular system is the exchange of various organ nutrients with oxygen in the human body. In specific cardiovascular diseases, necrotic blood vessels are sometimes required to be replaced and transplanted, but the existing artificial blood vessels used as operation transplantation still cannot perfectly meet the requirements of high biocompatibility, good mechanical property, systolic and diastolic capacity and the like. For example, the artificial blood vessels with diameters smaller than 6mm currently used for coronary vascular grafting still have the problem of low patency, and at the same time, the customization and manufacturing of vascular structures with complex shapes are difficult at present. Thus, vascular construction has also been a common problem in biological tissue and organs.
The bile duct of human body mainly acts to convey bile secreted by liver cells to duodenum, helping digestion of fatty foods. Bile duct blockage causes cholestasis, which can cause acute obstructive suppurative cholangitis, which can endanger life. At this time, the use of bioengineered bile ducts may be an alternative to liver transplantation. Thus, there is a great need for bioengineered bile ducts that feature the structure, structural characteristics, markers and functions of the bile ducts of the human body (alkaline phosphatase and gamma-glutamyltransferase activity).
The human trachea is used as a pipeline for connecting the throat and the bronchus, is not only an air channel, but also has the functions of defending, removing foreign matters and regulating the temperature and the humidity of the air. Throat and trachea stenosis or defect is a disabling disease which seriously affects the life quality of people. Excision of the lesion is often required, and healing problems after excision are a major clinical problem. And constructing a bioengineered trachea with tracheal structural features and functions may be critical to solving this problem.
The pancreatic duct of the human body drains pancreatic juice to the duodenum to help digest food. The pancreatic duct is blocked to cause the poor drainage of pancreatic juice, and can induce acute pancreatitis. In addition, the human body has other ductal organoids such as ureters, lymphatic vessels, intestinal tracts, etc., which once diseased, can severely affect the health of the body. The use of tubular biological structures for in vitro transplantation has become a common method. Therefore, the construction of tubular tissue with a certain combination of mechanical properties and biological properties becomes a great clinical requirement and is also a research focus of tissue engineering.
Biological 3D printing is defined as using active cell-containing material for 3D printing techniques. The biological printing technology can arrange a large number of active cells and active biological materials at pre-designed spatial positions according to a bionic principle and a computer design, and has great advantages in construction of various tissues and organs of a human body. However, printing a tubular tissue with a personalized structure size (diameter, thickness, length, curvature, etc.) and corresponding mechanical and biological properties, etc. to meet clinical requirements is still a problem to be solved. Thus, for more complex in vitro tissues, particularly longer tubular structures, such as blood vessels, trachea, bile ducts, throats, etc., there is a need to develop new cell printing processes. The method realizes the separate control and controllable delivery of various materials and the stable manufacture of a longer tubular structure.

Detailed Description
The following examples are illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Unless otherwise indicated, the technical means used in the examples are conventional means well known to those skilled in the art, and all raw materials used are commercially available.
The invention utilizes the 3D printing nozzle to accurately control trace substances and crosslinking parameters and the horizontal rotary winding type receiving device to complete the cell three-dimensional printing technology for instantly printing and constructing the tubular structure.
As shown in fig. 1, the three-dimensional cell printing method for constructing a tubular structure of the present invention comprises the steps of:
1) Preparation of printing platform
The tubular structure constructed by the present invention is primarily dependent on the construction of the winding type printing apparatus. The design of the winding type printing equipment is mainly divided into two aspects, namely a winding rod capable of performing accurate rotation and a printing spray head capable of accurately translating, wherein the translation direction of the printing spray head is parallel to the winding rod and is positioned in the same vertical direction. Meanwhile, the winding rod and the printing nozzle are controlled by an independent motor driving system, so that the speed of the winding rod and the speed of the printing nozzle are independent and adjustable.
2) Preparation of printing ink (biological printing material, printing substrate)
Printing ink is prepared, and an ink distribution scheme (e.g., composition, volume ratio, etc., but not limited thereto) is set. Cells for printing are prepared. The printing nozzle is driven by a power driving system (pneumatic mode but not limited to the method) to spray printing ink.
3) Print parameter setting
And starting a printing mode and controlling a printing process. According to the size (diameter, thickness and length) of the printing tubular tissue structure, the jet speed of printing ink in the 3D printing nozzle is set, the running speed of the winding rod is set, and the translational running speed of the printing nozzle is set. The printing ink in the 3D printing nozzle is pushed out through the nozzle, and begins to adhere to the winding rod under the action of gravity. At the same time, the winding rod rotates in real time, whereby the threadlike mixture extruded by the spray head starts to wind along the winding rod. Meanwhile, the translation of the printing spray head and the rotation of the winding rod are combined to finish the printing of the tubular structure tissue with the specific size.
4) Print product detection and parameter correction
And taking down the tubular structure formed by preliminary printing, and detecting the form and the structural size of the tubular structure. The printing parameters are corrected against their differences from the target tubular structure. Repeating the steps 1-4, and printing again.
5) Printing finished product culture
By controlling the printing time, a complete tubular structure of a corresponding length is printed. The whole tubular tissue is placed in a culture medium for long-term dynamic culture.
6) Detecting physical and chemical properties and biological properties of tubular tissue
After the tubular tissue is cultured in the culture solution for a period of time, the tubular tissue is taken out for detection of mechanical properties and biological properties.
In a preferred embodiment, the printing platform in the step 1) may adopt various construction forms, such as a frame type, a suspended ceiling type and other assembly construction forms, so as to form a printing platform with stable overall structure and convenient operation, so as to ensure stable printing process and reduce printing errors.
In a preferred embodiment, the 3D printing head in the step 1) may take the form of a plurality of types of heads, such as a single-axis hollow head, a duplex hollow head, and a microfluidic chip head based on the microfluidic principle
In a preferred embodiment, the printing heads in step 1) may be arranged in a plurality of numbers to complete the printing of both single-layer and multi-layer tubular structures.
