ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

Human amniotic membrane (AM) transplantation has been applied to treat ocular surface diseases, including corneal trauma. The focus of much deliberation is to balance the mechanical strength of the amniotic membrane, its resistance to biodegradation, and its therapeutic efficacy. It is commonly observed that the crosslinked human decellularized amniotic membranes lose the functional human amniotic epithelial cells (hAECs), which play a key role in curing the injured tissues. METHODS AND

RESULTS:

In this study, we crosslinked human decellularized amniotic membranes (dAM) with genipin and re-planted the hAECs onto the genipin crosslinked AM. The properties of the AM were evaluated based on optical clarity, biodegradation, cytotoxicity, and ultrastructure. The crosslinked AM maintained its transparency. The color of crosslinked AM deepened with increasing concentrations of genipin. And the extracts from low concentrations of genipin crosslinked AM had no toxic effect on human corneal epithelial cells (HCECs), while high concentrations of genipin exhibited cytotoxicity. The microscopic observation and H&E staining revealed that 2 mg/mL genipin-crosslinked dAM (2 mg/mL cl-dAM) was more favorable for the attachment, migration, and proliferation of hAECs. Moreover, the results of the CCK-8 assay and the transwell assay further indicated that the living hAECs' tissue-engineered amniotic membranes could facilitate the proliferation and migration of human corneal stromal cells (HCSCs) in vitro.

CONCLUSIONS:

In conclusion, the cl-dAM with living hAECs demonstrates superior biostability and holds significant promise as a material for ocular surface tissue repair in clinical applications.
