Background

The study aim was to evaluate the immune reaction, difference of degenerative calcification, and anti-calcification effect of decellularization with or without α-galactosidase in bovine pericardium and porcine heart valves, using an α1,3-galactosyltransferase (α-Gal) knockout (KO) mouse model.

Methods

In order to elucidate the anti-calcification effect of decellularization with or without α-galactosidase, bovine pericardium and porcine heart valve tissues were assigned to four groups according to the tissue preparation method: (i) glutaraldehyde (GA) fixation only; (ii) decellularization + GA fixation (Decell); (iii) α-galactosidase + GA fixation (α-galactosidase); and (iv) decellularization +α-galactosidase + GA fixation (Decell + α-galactosidase). Each prepared tissue was implanted subcutaneously into α-Gal KO mice. Anti-α-Gal immunoglobulin (Ig) G and IgM antibody titers were monitored prior to implantation and at four, eight and 12 weeks after implantation using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Calcium contents of explanted tissues were measured at 12 weeks after implantation.

Results

There were no significant differences in the anti-α-Gal IgG antibody titers according to the type of bioprosthetic material or tissue preparation method (p >0.05). The calcium content was significantly lower in porcine heart valves than in bovine pericardium when implanted in α-Gal-KO mice (p <0.001). Calcium contents in bovine pericardium and porcine heart valves were significantly lower in the Decell, α-galactosidase and Decell + α-galactosidase groups than in the GA group (all p <0.05).

Conclusions

The porcine heart valve induced lower levels of calcium deposition than did the bovine pericardium, but the anti-α-Gal IgG antibody titers did not differ significantly between the bioprosthetic tissues. Decellularization had significant anticalcification effects in both the bovine pericardium and porcine heart valves, though there was no significant difference in the anti-α-Gal IgG antibody titers among tissue preparation methods."xsd:string
