    The vasculature is an integral unit of the tissue microenvironment due to providing nutrients and oxygen to surrounding cells. Therefore, pro-angiogenic biomaterials have the potential to improve the success of a wide range of medical therapies, including tissue engineering, wound healing, and drug delivery. Herein, we decellularized bovine spinal cord meninges with Triton X-100 and digested them with pepsin to obtain a hydrogel (MeninGEL). The cryogel form of the MeninGEL was also prepared by lyophilization process (named as MeninRIX). DNA content analysis showed that the nuclear content was significantly reduced by 98.6% after decellularization process. Furthermore, the effect of decellularization on extracellular matrix components was investigated with glycosaminoglycan (GAG) and hydroxyproline (HYP) content analyses. Tensile, compression, and suture retention tests were performed to elucidate the mechanical properties. The physiological degradation behavior of the bioscaffolds was investigated by hydrolytically. Both MeninGEL and MeninRIX have good biocompatibility and pro-angiogenic properties, as proved by the Chick Chorioallantoic Membrane (CAM) assay. Moreover, SEM and histological analyses indicated cellular migration, attachment, and dynamism on the bioscaffolds' surfaces. On the basis of these data, MeninGEL and MeninRIX are pro-angiogenic structures and have adequate mechanical properties, which makes them promising candidates for soft regenerative medicine applications.

    Supercritical CO2-Mediated Decellularization of Bovine Spinal Cord Meninges: A Comparative Study for Decellularization Performance
    (Amer Chemical Soc, 2024) Ozudogru, Eren; Kurt, Tugce; Derkus, Burak; Cengiz, Ugur; Arslan, Yavuz Emre
    The extracellular matrix (ECM) of spinal meninge tissue closely resembles the wealthy ECM content of the brain and spinal cord. The ECM is typically acquired through the process of decellularizing tissues. Nevertheless, the decellularization process of the brain and spinal cord is challenging due to their high-fat content, in contrast to the spinal meninges. Hence, bovine spinal cord meninges offer a promising source to produce ECM-based scaffolds, thanks to their abundance, accessibility, and ease of decellularization for neural tissue engineering. However, most decellularization techniques involve disruptive chemicals and repetitive rinsing processes, which could lead to drastic modifications in the tissue ultrastructure and a loss of mechanical stability. Over the past decade, supercritical fluid technology has experienced considerable advancements in fabricating biomaterials with its applications spreading out to tissue engineering to tackle the complications mentioned above. Supercritical carbon-dioxide (scCO2)-based decellularization procedures especially offer a significant advantage over classical decellularization techniques, enabling the preservation of extracellular matrix components and structures. In this study, we decellularized the bovine spinal cord meninges by seven different methods. To identify the most effective approach, the decellularized matrices were characterized by dsDNA, collagen, and glycosaminoglycan contents and histological analyses. Moreover, the mechanical properties of the hydrogels produced from the decellularized matrices were evaluated. The novel scCO2-based treatment was completed in a shorter time than the conventional method (3 versus 7 days) while maintaining the structural and mechanical integrity of the tissue. Additionally, all hydrogels derived from scCO2-decellularized matrices demonstrated high cell viability and biocompatibility in a cell culture. The current study suggests a rapid, effective, and detergent-free scCO2-assisting decellularization protocol for clinical tissue engineering applications.
