Adherence and shear-resistance of primary human endothelial cells on smooth poly(ether imide) films

Abstract: BACKGROUND:Occlusions of artificial small-diameter cardiovascular grafts are frequent events after implantation, often caused by clot formations. A main factor is the insufficient hemocompatibility of the inner artificial graft surface, which could be improved by endothelialization. Therefore, one challenge in cardiovascular graft engineering is the establishment of a shear-resistant endothelial cell layer to prevent cell detachment by shear forces after implantation. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Recently, very smoot… Show more

“…Our cell densities after three days of dynamic culture with stepwise increasing shear stress levels were approximately 45 000 cells/cm 2 and thereby higher compared to previously published densities of approximately 21 000 cells/cm 2 on glass after two days with 3 dyn/cm 2 . 50 The cell densities were more comparable after 7-9 days (47 000 and 42 000 cells/ cm 2 for our study and Schulz et al, respectively). The cell densities we achieved after three hours of dynamic culture (160 000 cells/cm 2 ) and after 21 days of dynamic culture with approximately 100 000 cells/cm 2 , both exceed the achieved densities on the reference material (glass) in dynamic culture at all time points.…”

“…The detected amounts of PGI2 in the supernatant were in the physiological effective range [24,35] and no appreciable secretion could be ascertained under static and dynamic conditions for TXA2. This is possibly due to the short exposure to physiological shear forces, because induction of TXA2 secretion as well as passive release from partially damaged cells after shear stress exposure for longer periods was shown in the past [1,33].…”

“…For this purpose, generation of a functionally-confluent endothelium on the implant's luminal surface is targeted for solving current limitations of thrombogenicity, by creating a continuously renewing antithrombogenic surface, which moreover actively regulates homeostasis of haemostasis [3,27]. However, endothelial cell adhesion and proliferation as well as stability of the cell monolayer are, especially under dynamic blood flow conditions, often limited on synthetic surfaces [15,33]. For that reason, biomimetic materials derived from macromolecules of the extracellular matrix (ECM) are used in many cases as supportive coating to enhance endothelial cell adhesion by providing a suitable microenvironment [4,18,20,30].…”

“…For the exposure of adherent HUVEC to uniform shear stress a cone-and-plate shearing device (Smard-CAD Deutschland GmbH, Neu-Ulm, Germany) was used, which accommodate three samples per run at 37°C. After insertion of a sample into one of the three probe heads, the whole setup was positioned directly under a sterile truncated glass-cone (25 mm diameter and 2° angle) as described by Schulz et al [39]. The glass cone was connected to a direct current servo motor of the shearing device and lifted under observation by a real time camera system until the correct spacing between the cell seeded surface of the investigated material and the cone tip was achieved.…”
