Definitions
- This invention relates to methods for the development of a reconstituted skin composite for transplantation. These methods will lead to the production a reconstituted skin consisting of an intact, biological, acellular, dermal matrix in combination with epidermal cells which can serve as a replacement for full-thickness 0 skin defects.
- STSG autologous split thickness skin grafts
- EGF epidermal growth factor
- the culture of epithelial cells from a skin biopsy involves the separation ofthe epidermis from the dermis, followed by dissociation ofthe cells present in the epidermis. This can be accomplished using one or a combination ofthe following enzymes and chemicals to separate the two different layers ofthe skin: Dispase, Thermolysin, trypsin, or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA).
- the separated epidermis is then incubated further in trypsin plus EDTA to dissociate the epidermis into a cell suspension.
- trypsin/EDTA incubation will also led to the growth of a population of keratinocytes.
- the dissociated cells are then placed into culture medium with a combination of growth factors, presence or absence of serum, and presence or absence of irradiated or mitomycin treated mouse fibroblast. If the cells are then allowed to remain in culture to or exceeding confluence, they will form an intact sheet of keratinocytes. This sheet can then be released from the culture vessel by treating with enzymes such as Dispase which disrupt the attachment of cells to the substrate but do not disturb cell-cell contacts.
- These intact sheets of autologous keratinocytes (referred to as cultured epithelial autografts or CEA) can be produced from a small biopsy obtained from the patient. The production of these sheets however requires weeks of culture time. Although initial interest and use of CEA technology was high, as long term results became available it was evident that the lack of dermal replacement imparts significant limitations on this approach including low overall take rates, scarring, and immature basement membrane formation leading to fragility ofthe epidermis.
- micromeshing or microskin grafting An additional alternative for covering extensive burn wounds is micromeshing or microskin grafting.
- the available STSG can be meshed and widely expanded (generally at a ratio of 4:1 or greater) or minced by passing the tissue multiple times in different orientation through a standard mesher. While studies have shown that widely meshed autografts can eventually close a large full-thickness skin wound, these grafts a) take a long time to re-epithelialize interstices ofthe meshed graft, b) result in a "cobblestone" appearance at the graft site and c) often lead to debilitating scarring and contracture.
- a graft for full thickness burn wounds should have the following characteristics: a) replace both lost dermis and epidermis, b) not require extensive in vitro cell culture to produce the graft, c) deliver a persistent dermis and epidermis, and d) require only one surgery and thereby reduce patient morbidity and mortality and reduce costs as a result of shorter hospital stays.
- the invention of this patent includes the use of an intact acellular dermal matrix in combination with epithelial cells to reconstitute a composite skin meeting these requirements.
- Dermal Matrices and In Vitro Reconstituted Skin One technique for producing reconstituted skin involves using deepidermized dermis (DED), which was first investigated by Prunieras et al.. This dermal matrix is generally produced by prolonged incubation ( > 4 weeks ) of human skin in phosphate buffered saline or repeated freezing and thawing ofthe skin which kills all ofthe cells ofthe dermis and epidermis. Results with this technique have been variable. Human trials have demonstrated poor take rates in skin wounds using this substrate.
- DED deepidermized dermis
- Krejci et al. have examined acellular versus cellular human dermal substrates in the presence or absence of an intact basement membrane complex in vitro. They found that papillary dermis lacking fibroblasts but maintaining an intact basement membrane, and reticular dermis which had been repopulated with dermal fibroblasts were both good substrates for keratinocyte growth. These results indicate the importance of basement membrane and/or dermal fibroblasts for the production of an in vitro skin.
- Acellular Dermis The inventors have previously been granted a patent regarding the 5 processing and production of an intact, acellular dermal matrix of human or porcine origin (AlloDerm® and XenoDermTM respectively).
- the processing and preservation method was designed to generate a transplantable biological tissue graft that specifically meets the following criteria:
- the dermal matrix processed in this manner has been shown to possess all ofthe major components ofthe basement membrane complex including coUagens Type IV and VII and laminin. Further, the matrix has been shown to be effective as a graft for severe burn wounds by replacing lost dermis, allowing immediate infiltration of host o fibroblasts and endothelial cells and allowing the use of a thinner autologous split- thickness skin graft (STSG) [as a source for keratinocytes] resulting in less trauma to the donor site.
- STSG autologous split- thickness skin graft
- Epidermis The epidermis is a continually renewing tissue composed primarily of 5 keratinocytes. As such, there are at least three functionally distinct types of keratinocytes in the epidermis: 1. stem cells (progenitors), 2. transient-amplifying cells (exhibit rapid proliferative growth but for only a limited time), and 3. post- mitotic cells (mature differentiated). In this scheme the stem cell is ultimately responsible for all keratinocyte replacement in the epidermis, and therefore is essential for long term maintenance ofthe organ. Therefore, the epidermal stem cell is necessary for the long term persistence of a grafted epithelium.
- epidermal stem cells As detailed below, unlike the hematopoietic system, specific markers for the putative epidermal stem cell have not yet been identified.
- the epidermal stem cell has however been associated with several distinct physical and functional characteristics which set it apart from the other keratinocytes ofthe epidermis. These properties include: long cell cycle time; enhanced expression of integrins or other markers including specific cytokeratins; small cell size relative to other keratinocytes; and rapid attachment to basement membrane components. These properties can be used to develop a protocol for the isolation and enrichment of epidermal stem cells for producing a composite skin in combination with an intact acellular dermal matrix.
- the isolation ofthe epidermal stem cell is analogous to the methodology used for protein purification where its physical properties are known but the sequence ofthe protein is unavailable.
- we can selectively enrich for epidermal stem cells by taking advantage of differences in cell cycle time, cell size, integrin or cytokeratin expression and attachment criteria.
- the epidermal stem cells can be selectively tagged by taking advantage of their slow cycling time, followed by selective isolation ofthe tagged cells by differences in size, marker expression and/or selective attachment to different substrates.
- By taking advantage ofthe physical and functional properties ascribed to the putative epidermal stem cell we can enrich for these cells and thereby enhance the formation of a neoepidermis in a composite graft.
- Epidermal keratinocytes which attach most rapidly to basement membrane components have been shown to possess the highest colony forming efficiency. Specifically, research reported by Jones et al. has shown that keratinocytes which attach to collagen type IV coated dishes in as little as 5 minutes have a higher colony forming efficiency than those which take longer to attach.
- the epidermal progenitor cells may be isolated by performing panning techniques using culture vessels coated with type IV collagen, fibronectin, laminin, or a combination of these coatings. Alternatively, panning techniques can be performed using the acellular dermal matrix which has an intact basement membrane containing laminin and coUagens type IV and VII, in the correct three dimensional configuration.
- partial degradation ofthe basement membrane complex present on the acellular dermal matrix may be necessary to mimic a wounded scenario and hence activate keratinocyte proliferation on the matrix.
- the basement membrane can be partially degraded by enzymatic treatment with Dispase II or Thermolysin. Close attention must be given to the collagen present in the dermis to ensure that the integrity ofthe dermis is not compromised during these enzymatic treatments. Keratinocytes can then be seeded onto an area ofthe treated dermal matrix.
- keratinocytes can be separated by size using either density gradient centrifugation, unit gravity sedimentation, or sorted by size using a cell sorter.
- Density gradient centrifugation has been accomplished with keratinocytes using a continuous colloidal silica (Percoll) density gradient. Using this technique it is reported that 3 fractions of keratinocytes can be isolated. This corresponds well with the three proposed types of keratinocytes present in the epidermis (stem, transient-amplifying and terminally differentiated). Alternatively, unit gravity sedimentation can be performed. This procedure has been used in different laboratories to separate proliferative and terminally differentiating subpopulations of keratinocytes. Freshly isolated keratinocytes are placed in a modified sedimentation chamber, from which aliquots of cells are removed and examined for label retention as defined in the localization studies.
- Percoll colloidal silica
- the cells can be evaluated for a progenitor phenotype by colony forming efficiency assays (CFE) and growth in soft agar as an index for stem cell isolation.
- CFE colony forming efficiency assays
- Some potential problems with these techniques include: 5 a) the disaggregation to a single cell suspension must be very efficient to avoid cell clumps which would sediment at different rates, and b) the size differential between stem cells and transient-amplifying cells may be as small as 1-2 micrometers making effective segregation very difficult. If the epidermis is not efficiently disaggregated to single cells, clumps of cells may be filtered through sterile cotton or nylon mesh. o Although the different keratinocyte subpopulations may be very close in size, these techniques provide some enrichment over non-selected populations.
- Another cell selection technique involves selective killing of rapidly dividing cells (a negative selection process).
- 5- 5 Fluorouracil an antimetabolite
- 5-FU can be used during in vitro culture conditions to selectively kill transient-amplifying (rapidly dividing) cells which have a short cell cycle time, while sparing the epidermal stem cells which have a longer cell cycle. This can be accomplished by pulse dosing of 5-FU during culture of rapidly o expanding keratinocytes. These conditions may include culturing in the presence of 1
- Hyperthermic treatment ofthe skin has been shown to decrease cell death due to UVB (290-320 nm) exposure.
- a hyperthermic 5 approach has been shown to be effective on murine bone marrow cells.
- Wierenga et al. report that more primitive marrow stem cells are extremely heat resistant when compared to more differentiated cells.
- Acute (0.5-1 hour) heat exposure (40-44° C) can be used to eliminate the more rapidly dividing keratinocyte populations.
- other environmental manipulations can also provide a selection pressure for epidermal stem cells. Specifically, hypothermia and hypoxia, as resistance to such changes is consistent with the critical importance of maintaining the stem cell in vivo.
- Isolation of epidermal stem cells followed bv expansion Isolation of epidermal progenitor cells may be followed by limited expansion of these cells prior to application to the dermal matrix. The aim is to induce these cells to divide so as to increase the number of progenitor cells available for seeding onto the acellular dermal matrix.
- the epidermis has become recognized as one ofthe most active secretory tissues ofthe body. Keratinocytes have been found to secrete interleukins -1, -3, -6, - 7, -8 and -10, colony stimulating factors granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G- CSF), macrophage-colony stimulating factor (M-CSF) and GM-CSF, arachidonic acid metabolites, metabolites of vitamin D3, parathyroid hormone-related protein, collagenases, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases and tissue plasminogen activator, transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF- ⁇ ), TGF- ⁇ , tumor necrosis factor- alpha (TNF- ⁇ ), PDGF and intracellular adhesion molecule- 1 (ICAM-1). This is still only a partial list, and highlights the complexity of growth regulation in the epidermis.
- G- CSF colony stimulating factors granulocyte-colony stimulating factor
- M-CSF macrophage-colony stimulating factor
- Primary keratinocytes exhibit a finite life span in vitro. Culturing conditions optimized to retain the epidermal stem cells theoretically would allow indefinite culture and expansion of these cells. In a practical sense for clinical use, it is beneficial to seed keratinocytes onto the acellular dermal matrix as quickly as possible. In order to facilitate this, a stimulatory signal which induces the stem cell to divide once or twice will have a dramatic effect on the final expansion ratio.
- Isolated epidermal stem cells can be cultured in medium containing one or more ofthe following growth factors which have been shown to stimulate keratinocyte growth: platelet derived growth factor (PDGF), granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) (both found to be necessary for hematopoietic stem cell growth), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF- ⁇ ), transforming growth factor- alpha (TGF- ⁇ ) (both potent stimulators of keratinocyte growth) and keratinocyte growth factor (KGF).
- PDGF platelet derived growth factor
- GM-CSF granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor
- TGF- ⁇ tumor necrosis factor-alpha
- TGF- ⁇ transforming growth factor- alpha
- KGF keratinocyte growth factor
- KGF one ofthe more recently defined growth factors in the epidermis, is a novel member ofthe fibroblast growth factor family and has been shown to have a stimulatory effect on ker
- keratinocytes isolated from a biopsy of fresh human skin are applied directed to an intact acellular dermal matrix which is then transplanted to a skin defect.
- the biopsy of fresh skin would be transported in cell culture medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum, penicillin and streptomycin.
- the tissue is kept at 4 degrees centigrade and processed within 24 hours.
- the tissue is handled with sterile instruments, dissected to remove extraneous fat and tissue, and cut into strips of no greater than 4 mm in width.
- the skin may be deepidermized with various enzymatic s agents including trypsin, Dispase, Thermolysin or ethlenediammetetraacetic acid (EDTA).
- the optimum method involves incubation in Dispase II (2.4 units/ml) at 37 degrees centigrade for 1.5 to 2 hours with periodic vortex mixing, followed by a 30 minute incubation in 0.25% trypsin plus 1 mM EDTA also at 37 degrees centigrade. The supernatant is then pipetted into a separate vial, spun down to pellet cells and o resuspended in growth medium.
- This medium is composed of a 3 : 1 mixture of DMEM:Ham's F-12 supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum, 5 g/ml insulin, 0.5 g/ml hydrocortisone, 10 ng ml epidermal growth factor, 10 ng/ml cholera toxin, and 0.15 mM Ca" 1 " 4 "-
- the cells would then be seeded onto the acellular dermal matrix and transplanted to the patient. 5
- 5 Several combinations involving the isolation of epidermal cells, in vitro culture and seeding ofthe acellular dermal matrix can be accomplish including: I The acellular dermal matrix is transplanted to the patient days prior to seeding of epidermal cells. This allows the dermal matrix time to become revascularized prior to the application of epidermal cells.
- the skin biopsy can be processed as described in the preferred embodiment followed by an in vitro culturing period during which the cell numbers are increased to allow seeding of a larger area ofthe acellular dermal matrix prior to transplantation.
- the acellular dermal matrix is transplanted to the patient days prior to seeding epidermal cells propagated as in II above.
- the isolated epithelial cells can be directly seeded onto the acellular dermal matrix followed by culturing and expansion on the acellular dermal matrix prior to transplantation. This is accomplished by rehydrating the dermal matrix with three washes of Hank's balanced salt solution (HBSS), and placing the matrix in a culture flask or dish with the basement membrane facing up. Isolated human keratinocytes are then seeded onto the dermal matrix (at approximate 5 X IO 4 cells per cm 2 ofthe dermal matrix) and allowed to stand undisturbed in a cell culture incubator for 24 to 48 hours before changing the media. After this period the medium is changed with fresh medium containing IO "7 M all trans-retinoic acid.
- HBSS Hank's balanced salt solution
- the composite graft can be continued in ex vivo culture and raised to the air- liquid interface by the use of a raised culture surface (such as a metal screen) which allows medium to reach the composite only from below.
- a raised culture surface such as a metal screen
- This exposure ofthe upper surface ofthe graft will induce some ofthe keratinocytes to begin a program of differentiation resulting in the formation of a stratified epidermis.
- the medium can be supplemented with other chemicals or agents which have also been shown to induce stratification in epithelial cultures. These agents include, but are not limited to, calcium chloride and sodium butyrate.
- the resulting composite graft will now contain a fully stratified epidermis. The composite may be transplanted at this point.
- the epithelial cells can be cultured to produce a CEA sheet prior to application to the dermal matrix.
- This process involves culturing of isolated keratinocytes to or exceeding confluence, at which time they will form an intact sheet of keratinocytes.
- This sheet can then be released from the culture vessel by treating with enzymes such as Dispase which disrupt the attachment of cells to the substrate but do not disturb cell-cell contacts.
- the sheet of CEA can be transferred to the acellular dermal matrix using a carrier such as Vaseline gauze followed by transplantation.
- the acellular dermal matrix is transplanted to the patient days prior to the application of CEA sheets produced as in VI above.
- a small piece of autologous, split-thickness, fresh human skin is passed through a skin mesher, fitted with a continuous cutting blade wheel, 2 times, at a 90° angle to each pass.
- the skin can be cut into small pieces of approximately 1 -1.5 mm using a sharp scalpel.
- These microskin pieces are then spread evenly across an area of the basement membrane surface ofthe acellular dermal matrix which is approximately 10-50 times the original area ofthe starting piece of skin.
- the composite graft is then transplanted to the wound surface and covered with a sheet graft of cryopreserved, human allograft skin.
- microskin grafting in combination with the acellular dermal matrix can be accomplished including: I The microskin pieces are transferred to the acellular dermal matrix which has been transplanted to the patient days previously.
- the composite ofthe preferred embodiment is allowed to propagate in ex vivo culture at the air-liquid interface as described in EXAMPLE 1 prior to transplantation.
- the composite ofthe preferred embodiment is composed of microskin pieces derived from an allogeneic skin biopsy.
- the allogeneic microskin pieces are transferred to the acellular dermal matrix which has been transplanted to the patient days previously.
- V The composite in III is allowed to propagate in ex vivo culture at the air-liquid interface as described in EXAMPLE 1 prior to transplantation.
- VI The composite of the preferred embodiment and those described in I-V are covered with a synthetic polymer membrane which is then overlaid with the cryopreserved, human allograft skin at the time of transplantation.
- epidermal stem cells would be isolated by using the acellular dermal matrix as a panning substrate. This takes advantage ofthe previously described characteristic ofthe putative epidermal stem cell to attach rapidly to type IV collagen.
- the basement membrane ofthe acellular dermal matrix is composed primarily of type IV collagen.
- the entire epithelial cell suspension is incubated on the dermal matrix for 30 minutes.
- the matrix is then washed with a light stream of culture medium to wash away unattached cells and then transplanted onto the patient.
- This grafting scenario involving stem cell isolation, propagation, seeding ofthe acellular dermal matrix and transplantation. These techniques may include any ofthe following:
- Isolation ofthe epidermal progenitor cells by mechanisms which separate due to differences in cell size, followed by seeding ofthe selected cells onto the acellular dermal matrix and transplantation.
- III Isolation ofthe epidermal progenitor cells by mechanisms which separate due to selective attachment to culture dishes coated with various dermal matrix components (e.g. fibronectin, type I collagen, vitronectin, or various glycosaminoglycans), followed by release ofthe cells from the culture dish using trypsin, seeding onto the dermal matrix, and transplantation.
- IV Isolation ofthe epidermal progenitor cells by mechanisms which separate due to selective killing of rapidly dividing cells using antiproliferative agents, followed by seeding ofthe selected cells onto the acellular dermal matrix and transplantation.
- VI Isolation of cells using any ofthe mechanisms described in II- VI followed by seeding of acellular dermal matrix which has been transplanted days previously.
- VII Isolation of cells using any ofthe mechanisms listed in II-V followed by ex vivo propagation ofthe cells prior to seeding ofthe acellular dermal matrix and transplantation.
