The pulsation of blood vessels in the ear of the rabbit greatly increases the rate of the spread of dye introduced into the subcutaneous tissue. The appearance of edema in tissues perfused at a constant pressure leads to very little increase in the rate of dye spread. By contrast, a rapid interstitial spread of dye occurs in tissues becoming edematous while perfused with a pulsatile flow of blood. The significance of these facts is discussed.

The aim of the study was to construct small-diameter vascular grafts using canine mesenchymal stem cells (cMSCs) and a pulsatile flow bioreactor. cMSCs were isolated from canine bone marrow and expanded ex vivo. cMSCs were then seeded onto the luminal surface of decellularized arterial matrices, which were further cultured in a pulsatile flow bioreactor for four days. Immunohistochemical staining and scanning electron microscopy was performed to characterize the tissue-engineered blood vessels. cMSCs were successfully seeded onto the luminal surface of porcine decellularized matrices. After four-day culture in the pulsatile flow bioreactor, the cells were highly elongated and oriented to the flow direction. Immunohistochemistry demonstrated that the cells cultured under pulsatile flow expressed Von Willebrand factor, an endothelial cell marker. In conclusion, cMSCs seeded onto decellularized arterial matrices could differentiate into endothelial lineage after culturing in a pulsatile flow bioreactor, which provides a novel approach for tissue engineering of small-diameter blood vessels.
