- Abstract
Introduction and hypothesis: Xenogeneic (porcine) extracellular matrix (ECM) scaffolds have been suggested as ideal biomaterials for regeneration medicine; however, ECM prepared from different tissue sources has shown distinctive biological properties. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of biological characteristics of different tissue-derived ECM is essential in the design of scaffolds for pelvic reconstruction. Methods: We compared the biological properties of ECM derived from different tissue sources of Bama miniature pigs as a pelvic biological patch in terms of histological structure, water absorption ability, biodegradation ability, mechanical properties, antimicrobial activity, and biocompatibility in vitro. Results: Different ECM scaffolds have distinct structural differences, and all have good biocompatibility, and UBM exhibited better water uptake ability (above 500%), anti-biodegradation ability, mechanical properties, antimicrobial activity, and stem cell attachment properties than other tissue-derived ECM. Conclusions: Porcine UBM might serve as an ideal pelvic biological patch.
