The invention discloses a
nucleus pulposus-
cartilage extracellular matrix
scaffold and a preparing method thereof and belongs to the
biological tissue engineering technology. The preparing method comprises the steps that
nucleus pulposuses and bony
articular surface cartilage are smashed, decellularized, subjected to
gradient centrifugation to collect
extracellular matrix
microfilament suspension, and freeze-dried to obtain a freeze-dried decellularized
nucleus pulposus matrix and a freeze-dried decellularized
cartilage matrix, the two matrixes are taken in certain proportion and dissolved in
ultrapure water to prepare
mixed matrix suspension with certain concentration, and the
mixed matrix suspension is freeze-dried and subjected to
ultraviolet irradiation crosslinking and chemical
reagent crosslinking in sequence so that the nucleus pulposus-cartilage
extracellular matrix
scaffold can be obtained. In this way, the defect that the nucleus pulposuses are hard to obtain due to the small number is overcome; the preparing technology is simple, and decellularizing can be achieved thoroughly; the matrix
scaffold is degradable and high in
biocompatibility; the matrix scaffold is of a three-dimensional structure, is high in
mechanical property and
plasticity, and can facilitate the distribution, growth and differentiation of seed cells; the freeze-dried extracellular matrixes are convenient to store and prepare and can be used for constructing a
tissue engineered intervertebral disc to repair partial defects of the
intervertebral disc, and broad clinical application prospects are realized.
