摘要

Introduction: Patients with single ventricle disease and Fontan circulation suffer long-term morbidity due to the lack of a sub-pulmonary ventricle. The concept of a pulsatile Fontan conduit, functioning as a sub-pulmonary ‘neo-ventricle,’ using engineered heart tissue (EHT), may be a potential solution. To this end, we developed a tissue-engineered vascular conduit with EHT that allowed surgical implantation into a murine model for in-vivo assessment. Methods: Mouse-scale conduits were fabricated from type I collagen using freeform reversible embedding of suspended hydrogels (FRESH) 3D bioprinting. The conduits were cellularized using human stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes and cardiac fibroblasts. Electrophysiology was assessed using calcium imaging. The conduits were surgically anastomosed to the infra-renal inferior vena cava (IVC) as an end-end interposition graft in severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID)/beige mice. The conduit's patency and the EHT's contractility were monitored with monthly ultrasounds. Explanted conduits underwent histology, immunohistochemistry (IHC), and immunofluorescent (IF) imaging. Results: Sixteen contractile conduits were produced. In vitro calcium imaging demonstrated anisotropic calcium wave propagation along the conduit at day 14. Twelve grafts were implanted in the mouse IVC and half of the grafts (n=6) were explanted 6 months postoperatively. At explant, five showed synchronous contractile behavior in-vivo of the EHT around the collagen conduit. Interconnected networks of sarcomeric alpha actinin-positive cardiomyocytes were observed on IHC and IF. Neo-vascularization was seen infiltrating the EHT on histology. Six mice remained alive at 11 months post-operatively, three with contractile activity seen via ultrasound. All twelve grafts were patent on ultrasound with no stenosis. Conclusion: We have produced mouse-scale pulsatile conduits using human embryonic-derived cardiomyocytes and bioprinting that are robust enough to withstand surgical anastomosis to the IVC and remain patent. We observed functional beating of the EHT at 11 months in vivo. This model could be used to assess and improve the in-vivo function of EHT towards producing a larger-scale pulsatile Fontan conduit.
