ATH Medical University of Silesia in Katowice, Faculty of Health Sciences in Katowice, Department of Chronic Wound Treatment Organisation3 Dziekan Wydziału: prof. dr hab. V. Skrzypulec-Plinta As a result of the removal of cells from human allogeneic dermis, a collagen scaffold is obtained, which can be populated de novo with autologous/allogeneic skin cells and transplanted onto the area of skin loss. The optimal method for production of acellular dermal matrices (ADM) has been selected. Three female patients (a mean age of 54 years) were subjected to the transplantation of either autologous or allogeneic keratinocytes and fibroblasts into the holes of acellular dermal matrix (ADM) mesh graft. The method for burn wound treatment based on the use of a viable dermal-epidermal skin substitute (based on ADM and in vitro cultured fibroblasts and keratinocytes) may be the optimal method of burn treatment. Key words: acellular dermal matrix ADM, burn, fibroblasts, keratinocytes, tissue engineering The optimal method for the treatment of extensive full thickness burn wounds (3rd degree) is the resection of necrotic tissue and the use of autologous free split-thickness skin grafts (STSG), harvested from an intact area (1-7), for skin closure. The main limitation of this method is the scarcity of healthy, intact skin to be used as a graft. Moreover, donor areas constitute an additional wound putting a burden on the body (8). The sites from which skin has been harvested for a graft are painful, therefore require analgesic therapy, and leave scars while healing (5, 8). Limitations associated with the use of autologous free splitthickness skin grafts necessitate searching for new methods and agents for the treatment of severely burned patients. An alternative clinical standard in the therapy of extensive full-thickness burns in patients with the scarcity of donor areas, al- ready available for over three decades, is the use of autologous keratinocytes (CEA) cultured under in vitro conditions (4, 5). This method results in the acceleration of integument regeneration process, while in the long run, hypertrophied scars unacceptable for functional and aesthetic reasons may occur (4, 5, 9, 10). Another example of an alternative method for burn treatment is the use of allogeneic skin grafts. This method has been known for over seventy years. The main clinical indications for the use of allogeneic skin grafts include the protection against drying of the wound bed, protection against infection, and a mechanical barrier protecting against the loss of heat, electrolytesand proteins. The use of allogeneic skin grafts is, however, a temporary solution. A graft of this type is a temporary biological dressing which is rejected by the recipient’s body after a certain time period (6, 7, 11). Unauthenticated Download Date | 6/18/17 6:34 PM 514 W. Łabuś et al. In order to improve graft properties and extend their stability, tissue engineering procedures, primarily including methods for the removal of cells from tissues, are used. The goal of using these methods is to obtain a non-immunogenic graft which, following transplantation, would be populated de novo with the recipient’s cells to become an integral part of the body (4, 5, 12-15). Since the immune response is mainly triggered against proteins and lipids of the cell membrane, the removal of cells from tissues is a promising method aimed at the elimination of the immune response in the recipient’s body after the transplantation has been performed (16, 17). The methods of cell removal from tissues result in obtaining and isolation of the structures of extracellular matrix (ECM). The extracellular matrix is composed of proteins, glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), proteoglycans, and growth factors. ECM is a natural bioprosthesis that structurally strengthens the damaged tissues. Numerous tissues have been subjected to the processes of cell removal, e.g. the tissues of the submucosal layer of the intestine (13), oesophagus (14), urinary bladder (15), placenta (16), pericardium (17), heart valve (18-21), and dermis (22, 23). Skin substitutes containing no cells, known as acellular dermal matrices (ADM) or acellular dermal grafts (ADG), serve as a scaffold stimulating the body to initiate natural regenerative and repairing mechanisms. Such dressings play a significant role in minimizing both the scarring process and the deformation of a healing wound (24). Cell culturing on bioprostheses devoid of skin cells, obtained by using tissue engineering methods, is a promising strategy in the production of “new tissues” i.e. a viable, stable skin graft (25). The essence of this method is the use of elements of extracellular matrix of allogeneic skin, serving as a scaffold for in vitro cultured skin cells. The main benefits offered by this technique include the introduction of a scaffold for the newly forming tissue, ensuring mechanical protection that is able to withstand the forces occurring in vivo until the developed skin substitute becomes an integral part of the body (25-28). The aim of the study was to evaluate methods for burn wound treatment using an independently produced viable skin substitute based on ADM and either autologous or allogeneic skin cells. Material and methods The proposed research programme has been approved by the Bioethics Committee of the Silesian Chamber of Physicians in Katowice. For the production of acellular dermal matrices (ADM), allogeneic and biostatic human skin grafts deposited at the Tissue Bank of the Dr Stanisław Sakiel Centre for Burn Treatment (Polish: Centrum Leczenia Oparzeń, CLO) were used. Allogeneic skin was harvested from deceased donors during multiorgan harvests, and then developed in accordance with applicable regulations. Based on an analysis of the results obtained in the research work at the CLO, the optimal method for the production of stable, viable skin substitutes based on independently produced acellular dermal matrices (ADM) and in vitro cultured skin cells. The research protocol in question proposed an enzymatic method for cell removal (0.05% trypsin solution in EDTA and 0.025% trypsin solution in EDTA), a chemical method (0.1% solution of sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), and a combined method which assumes the use of an enzyme at the first stage, and a chemical agent at the second stage (0.05% trypsin solution in EDTA and 0.1% SDS, and 0.025% trypsin solution in EDTA and 0.1% SDS). The test material was analysed using an atomic force microscope (AFM), and in histological preparations (hematoxylin and eosin staining). Based on the obtained results, the optimal method for the removal of cells from allogeneic dermis was selected. The procedure of cell removal from allogeneic dermis was based on 24-hour, onestage incubation of human dermis in 0.05% trypsin solution in 0.2% EDTA (PAA Laboratories GmBH) (PhD thesis, 2014). Prior to the proper part of the ADM production, human allogeneic skin obtained from the CLO’s Tissue Bank was defrosted and rinsed twice in normal saline solution. The separation of dermis and epidermis resulted from the 1 to 3-hour incubation in a solution of dispase enzyme at a concentration of 2.4 U/ml (Gibco) at a temperature of 37˚C.Thus obtained fragments of human dermis were incubated in 0.05% trypsin solution in 0.2% EDTA (PAA Unauthenticated Download Date | 6/18/17 6:34 PM Substitute of an acellular allogeneic dermal matrix in clinical practice Laboratories GmBH) for 24 hours at a temperature of 37˚C in order to remove undesirable cellular elements.Following processing, the obtained ADMs were thoroughly rinsed three times in a buffered normal saline solution PBS (Sigma). Prior to the performance of transplantation, slits are cut in the obtained ADMs using a mesh dermatome at various degrees of meshing. Allogeneic and biostatic human skin grafts subjected to no procedures of cell removal were used as a control. Allogeneic skin grafts were meshed to an extent analogous to that of the used acellular matrix grafts. A living donor was qualified for the establishment of an in vitro skin cell culture based on the donor’s direct consent and the statutory eligibility criteria. In order to establish an in vitro culture of fibroblasts and keratinocytes, a fragment of split-thickness skin measuring approx. 2 x 2 cm was harvested from a living donor. The skin was harvested under operating theatre conditions. Following the harvest, the fragment of skin was incubated in 20 mL of culture medium KGM-CD with addition of antibiotics and antimycotics (to 500 mL of culture medium KGMCD, 5 mL of antibiotic and antimycotic solution composed of penicillin 10,000 U/mL, streptomycin sulphate 10 mg/mL, and amphotericin B 25 µg/mL was added) (PAA Laboratories GmBH) for 20 minutes at a room temperature. Culturing procedures were followed in accordance with the Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) requirements. The isolation of cells comprised the stage of separating dermis from epidermis by a 2-3 hour long incubation in 2.4 U/mL of dispase enzyme solution (Gibco) at a temperature of 37˚C. At a further stage, cells were isolated from the obtained fragments of epidermis and dermis by a 2-minute incubation in 0.05% trypsin solution in 0.2% EDTA (PAA Laboratories GmBH) at a temperature of 37˚C. The process was repeated 3-4 times. The obtained cell suspension was centrifuged, and then suspended in culture medium: KGM-CD for keratinocytes, and DMEM for fibroblasts. The cells were cultured in an incubator (HeraCell) at 37˚C, 5% of CO2 content, and 95% humidity. The culture medium was replaced every 24 hours. After confluence has been reached, the cells were isolated using 0.05% trypsin solution. The cells were suspended in PBS, and transported to the operating theatre. 515 Cultured skin cells were transplanted in Platelet Leukocyte Rich Gel (PLRG). PLRG was obtained from the patient’s peripheral blood using an Angel System device (CZM) in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. The isolated cells were suspended in PLRG, and then transplanted into the holes of the previously meshed ADM graft. The wound under study was divided into two equal areas. Acellular dermal matrices (ADM) and cultured skin cells were transplanted onto one area, while allogeneic and biostatic human skin grafts and cultured skin cells were transplanted onto the other as a control of the treatment process. On days 3, 5, 14 and 21 after the transplantation, a visual clinical evaluation of the wound was performed. Photographic documentation was produced. The obtained observations were confirmed in histopathological examinations. Fragments of tissue intended for microscopic examinations were harvested from an area located as close as possible to the edge of the wound, and then placed in 10% formaldehyde solution. Then, histological preparations were made using the hematoxylin and eosin staining method. In addition, in order to evaluate the microbial purity of the wound environment, samples were taken using the swab method. For the proposed research programme, three female patients (a mean age of 54) were selected: Case 1. Female patient, aged 63, admitted with a thermal burn of 34% of the TBSA, including 24% of 3rd/4th degree burns. Patient with history of myocardial infarction, who also underwent angioplasty of the right coronary artery with stent implantation. Transplantation of ADM and allogeneic skin (control) meshed 1:2 was performed, and then in vitro cultured autologous fibroblasts and keratinocytes suspended in PLRG were transplanted. On days 0, 3 and 5, the condition of wounds after the transplantation was assessed, histological preparations were made, and microbiological examinations were carried out. Photographic documentation was produced. Case 2. Female patient, aged 36, admitted with a thermal burn of 24% of the TBSA, including 24% of 3rd/4th degree burns.

Łabuś et al. onto poorly healing donor areas. On days 0, 3, 5, 14 and 21, histological preparations were made, and swabs from wounds were taken. Photographic documentation was produced. Case 3. Female patient, aged 63, admitted with a 2a/2b degree thermal burn of 20% of the TBSA. Transplantation of ADM meshed 1:1.5 was performed, and then in vitro cultured allogeneic fibroblasts and keratinocytes suspended in normal saline were transplanted. On day 0, a histological preparation was made. The patient gave no consent to further participation in the study. On days 3, 5, 19 and 21, swabs from wounds were taken, and photographic documentation was produced. Results Case 1. The patient was transplanted with a total of 2800 cm2 allogeneic skin meshed 1:2, of which 1063 cm2 were ADMs. Autologous keratinocytes and fibroblasts in PLRG were inoculated into the graft holes. Figure 1 presents the procedure of cleansing burn wounds using a hydrosurgery system (VersaJet), and the transplantation of acellular dermal matrices (ADM) and allogeneic skin (control). Figure 2. presents the appearance of wounds on day 3. Figure 3 shows the clinical picture of wounds on day 5. The patient was in a very poor, and worsening, general condition. On day 6 following the transplantation, the patient died due to multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. The photograph was taken in the autopsy room (fig. 4). In all presented histological pictures, fragments of skin with epidermal necrosis, noticeable detachment of epidermis, and purulent exudate were observed. Granulocytic exudate in the subcutaneous tissue (fig. 1-3). Case 2. The patient was transplanted with a total of 657 cm2 allogeneic skin meshed 1:1.5, of which 462 cm2 were ADMs. Autologous keratinocytes and fibroblasts in PLRG were inoculated into the graft holes (fig. 5). The histological picture obtained on the day of surgery (day 0) shows a granulating wound with oedema of connective tissue (fig. 5).

Patient’s death appearance of the wound onto which ADM and autologous skin cells were transplanted. As compared to the control (fig. 6B), the appearance of the wound treated with ADM and cells reveals the initiated incorporation of acellular matrix into the wound bed. Clinical observations are confirmed in microscopic tests. An analysis of the results of a histopathological examination carried out on day 3 following the surgery for the area under study revealed the presence of epidermis with signs of hyperkeratosis and parakeratosis. Under the epidermis, mature granulation tissue was revealed (fig. 6A). As regards the control area, as early as on day 3, self-renewing epidermis with signs of parakeratosis was observed. Epidermis was locally separated from the surface layer, with granulocytic exudate (fig. 6B). Observation of wounds on day 5 following the surgery reveals further progress in regeneration processes for wounds treated with ADM (fig. 7A). The appearance of wounds treated with allogeneic skin (control) shows allogeneic grafts during rejection (fig. 7B). The histological picture of the area under study on day 5 shows a fragment of skin covered with mature epidermis. B A Fig. 6. Case 2. Wound appearance at day 3 517 Fig. 5. Case 2. Wound appearance at day 0 In the dermis, numerous small blood vessels were observed. A mild inflammatory reaction was observed (fig. 7A). In the histological picture of the control area on day 5 small strips of epidermis and a profuse inflammatory response in the dermis were observed (fig. 7B). Figure 8A shows the appearance of wounds treated with ADM on day 14 following the transplantation. The photograph reveals the treated wound with few residual areas (fig. 8A). The picture of the control area on day 14 reveals progressive regeneration processes, yet at a slightly earlier stage of progress (fig. 8B). On the other hand, histological pictures of both the area under study and the control area, obtained on day 14, revealed mature epidermis with signs of pareketosis (fig. 8). The patient was discharged from hospital on day 21 following the transplantation. Photographic documentation produced on the day of discharge presents the complete closure of the wound, which is confirmed in microscopic examinations (fig. 9).

Discharge from hospital ly methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), was found. Case 3. The patient was transplanted with 92 cm2 ADM. Autologous keratinocytes and fibroblasts in 0.9% NaCl were inoculated into the graft holes. Eventually, the patient was transplanted with an autologous free splitthickness skin graft, which resulted in the closure of the wound. The clinical picture of the healing process on the successive days following the transplantation is presented in Fig. 10. Based on the microbiological tests carried out on particular days, the presence of a methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strain in the wound was found. Discussion Rapid development of tissue engineering over the recent years has led to the emergence of new therapeutic methods based on the use of natural bioprostheses populated with autologous cells. This improvement is a promising strategy in the production of “new tissues” (29-32). The currently conducted research is focused on the development of a treatment strategy involving the combination of in vitro cultured skin equivalents, e.g. fibroblasts, with a matrix obtained through the removal of cells from the dermis. This project may possibly result in obtaining a viable, stable skin substitute (32). In the proposed protocols for the production of viable skin grafts based on ADM and in vitro cultured fibroblasts, most research teams used the commercially available acellular allograft dermal matrix, namely AlloDerm (2940). On the other hand, in this study, due to Fig. 10. Case 3. Wound appearance in sequence at day 0, 3. 5, 19 and 24 the wide availability of allogeneic human skin grafts deposited at the Tissue Bank of the Centre for Burn Treatment, this particular material was used and subjected to an original procedure of cell removal from tissues, followed by the repopulation with the patient’s autologous or allogeneic cells. Acquiring biomedical material from the Bank Tissue is particularly beneficial for severely burned patients, since it allows the performance of transplantation and closure of the burn wound without the need for an adverse interference with the patient’s body (harvesting an autologous skin graft). Based on the results obtained from the research carried out at the CLO, it was concluded that fibroblasts cultured on the surface of ADM develop a single- or a few-layered cell cover. However, they are not able to migrate within the collagen matrices, as is the case in natural skin. Similar observations were made in studies carried out by other researchers, inter alia Rodrigues et al. (38), Sorrell and Caplan (39), and Ng et al. (40). A probable cause of this phenomenon has been sought in the compact, cross-linked structure of the collagen forming the extracellular dermal matrix Unauthenticated Download Date | 6/18/17 6:34 PM Substitute of an acellular allogeneic dermal matrix in clinical practice (40). In the clinical context, this unfavourable phenomenon may significantly contribute to the failure of therapy based on the transplantation of thus regenerated dermal matrices. During the meshing of such a graft, the integrity of the layer of cells cultured on the surface of ADM can deteriorate, or these cells can be completely removed. Bearing this in mind, a decision was taken on the production of a meshed ADM graft in the first place, followed by the transplantation of a culture cell suspension into the graft holes. So far, three female patients have been invited to participate in the research programme concerned. The research programme is at the early stage of development, and there is no doubt that in order to perform a complete and valuable analysis of the obtained results, significantly more research material need to be collected. In addition, as regards the clinical cases in question, only one (case 2) can be considered highly valuable in terms of the analysis of obtained results. Case 2 – a female patient aged 34, who was transplanted with ADM and autologous fibroblasts and keratinocytes suspended in PLRG onto poorly healing wounds on the donor areas on both upper legs. On the successive days following the surgery, progressive and accelerated healing of wounds treated with regenerated ADM was observed, as compared to the control areas. The therapeutic effect was confirmed in microscopic tests. Case 1 – a 63 year old female patient with extensive burns and numerous concomitant diseases (history of myocardial infarction). The patient’s condition continually deteriorated on successive days. On day 6 the patient died due to multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. Case 3 – another 63 year old female patient with a poorly healing burn wound on the right forearm. Following the transplantation, the woman gave no consent to further participation in the study, therefore the performance of 519 activities scheduled in the study were withdrawn from. However, photographic documentation was produced. The transplantation of ADM and allogeneic skin cells failed to result in a complete closure of the wound, and the patient needed the transplantation of an autologous split-thickness skin graft, which resulted in the healing of the wound. It can be assumed that the use of ADM and allogeneic fibroblasts and keratinocytes led to the optimal preparation of the wound to the transplantation of the patient’s own skin. There is a serious difficulty in referring the obtained results to the achievements of other researchers, as there are no available literature resources directly dealing with the clinical use of biotechnologically developed skin substitutes in the treatment of wounds in humans. All the more, one should not doubt that the introduction of stable and viable skin grafts to the clinical practice could produce positive and socially acceptable outcomes. A positive outcome of the use of such grafts can be a significant shortening of the time spent in hospital, and a more rapid return to full fitness. It should be assumed that the next step in the research on obtaining a viable skin graft will be the performance of the procedure of multicultural culture of all types of cells occurring in natural skin on an acellular dermal matrix. Such a research programme could possibly result in obtaining a skin graft of full value. Conclusions The procedure of burn wound treatment based on the use of a viable dermal-epidermal skin substitute (based on ADM and in vitro cultured fibroblasts and keratinocytes) may be the optimal method of burn treatment. However, it is required that the sample size be increased in order to perform a statistical analysis of the obtained results. references 1.Stanton RA, Billmire DA: Skin resurfacing for the burned patent.
