Abstract (original English)
Background aims Cell failure and angiogenesis are the key to bladder wall regeneration. Three-dimensional (3D) culture using porous gelatin microspheres (GMs) as a vehicle promotes stem cell proliferation and improves the paracrine capacity of cells. This study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic potential of GMs constructed from adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (ADSCs) (ADSC-GMs) combined with bladder acellular matrix (BAM) in tissue-engineered bladders. Methods Isolation of ADSCs, flow cytometry, scanning electron microscopy and cell counting kit-8, β-galactosidase and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays were performed in vitro to compare two-dimensional (2D) and 3D cultures. In the in vivo study, male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups: the BAM replacement alone (BAM) group, ADSCs grown on BAM in replacement (ADSC) group and ADSC-GMs combined with BAM followed by replacement (ADSC-GM) group. Bladder function assessed by urodynamics after 12 weeks of bladder replacement, and the rats were sacrificed at 4 and 12 weeks for further experiments. Results The in vitro results showed that GM culture promoted ADSC proliferation, inhibited apoptosis and delayed senescence compared with those in the 2D culture. In addition, ADSC-GMs increased the secretion of the angiogenic factors vascular endothelial growth factor, platelet-derived growth factor-BB, and
