Conclusion
The HAAM prepared using the freeze-thaw + DNase method and CHAPS methods exhibited improved surface characteristics and significantly enhanced the proliferation and differentiation capacity of DPSCs when applied to them. The findings, therefore demonstrate the capacity for enhanced pulp regeneration therapy.
Methods
Six different decellularization methods were used to generate the amniotic membranes. The characteristics of these scaffolds were examined through hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and immunohistofluorescence staining (IHF). The DPSCs were isolated, cultured, and their capacity for multidirectional differentiation was verified. The third generation (P3) DPSCs, were then combined with HAAM to form the decellularized amniotic scaffold-dental pulp stem cell complex (HAAM-DPSCs complex). Subsequently, the osteogenic capacity of the HAAM-DPSCs complex was evaluated using CCK8 assay, live-dead cell staining, alizarin red and alkaline phosphatase staining, and real-time quantitative PCR (RT-PCR).
Objective
The objective of this study was to assess the characterization of human acellular amniotic membrane (HAAM) using various decellularization
Results
Out of the assessed decellularization methods, the freeze-thaw + DNase method and the use of ionic detergent (CHAPS) showed minimal changes in structure after decellularization, making it the most effective method. The HAAM-DPSCs complexes produced using this method demonstrated enhanced biological properties, as indicated by CCK8, alizarin red, alkaline phosphatase staining, and RT-PCR.
