  • Remodeling epithelial polarity using the permeable collagen membrane (Yoshizato K, et al. J Cell Sci. 91(Pt4): 491-499)

Glucose consumption and lactic acid excretion in the basal compartment was significantly higher than that of the apical compartment. On the other hand, pH reduction in the apical compartment was abolished by membrane transporter inhibitor.
  • Induction of urinary tract differentiation from embryo body (EB) and transplantation with the permeable collagen membrane. (Kinebuchi Y, et al., Shinonoi General Hospital/Shinshu Univrsity, Japan.)

Following 28 days culture of mouse EB on a collagen membrane using KSFM medium and 3T3 cell culture supernatant, a four layer structure was formed. A duct-like structure was observed when cultured tissue attached to collagen membrane was transplanted into mice. Expression of UPIII (a marker of urothelium) and CK8 and CK18 (markers of urinary bladder) were also observed. These results suggest that collagen membranes are useful for the formation of tissue like structures and may also be useful following transplantation.
  • Induction of ameloblast differentiation using the permeable collagen membrane (Taniguchi A, et al., Natl. Inst. for Material Science, Japan.)

For SW culture, rat odontogenic epithelium cell line (HAT-7) and bovine dental follicle cell line (BCPb8) were seeded on opposite sides of a collagen membrane. As a result, expression of Ameloblastin and Amelogenin (important proteins for enamel formation) were markedly increased compared to SC culture or monolayer culture. These experiments revealed that the permeability of collagen membrane is advantageous for remodeling cell-cell interactions in a manner similar to in vivo.
  • Induction of corneal endothelial differentiation and transplantation with the permeable collagen membrane (Hato S, et al., Keio University, Japan.)

ultipotent Cornea-derived precursors isolated from mouse and human corneal stroma were cultured on collagen membrane and differentiated to functional corneal endothelium. Transplanting TECE attached collagen membrane to donor cornea where corneal endothelium was stripped suppressed edematous and notably increased the transparency of cornea compared to control groups. These results show that collagen membrane, with its high transparency and biocompatibility, is suitable for transplantation, such as corneal transplantation.

Background
Permeable collagen membranes are made from highly purified bovine dermal type I atelocollagen for single and double layer cell culture applications. These membranes are particularly suitable for studying cell-cell interactions between two different cell types seeded on opposite sides of the same membrane. Small molecules pass freely through the membrane while cells cannot. They are also useful for remodeling epithelial polarity. When epithelial cells are cultured on the membrane, cells will absorb nutrients and excrete metabolic waste through the membrane.

Applications

  • in vitro experiments: cell-cell interaction studies; remodeling of epithelial polarity; primary cell culture
  • in vivo experiment: cell transplantation
