Stem Cells Seeded on Multilayered Scaffolds Implanted into an Injured Bladder Rat Model Improves Bladder Function

Open access

Abstract

Background To investigate whether human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs) seeded on multilayered poly (l-lactide-co-ɛ-caprolactone) (PLCL) sheets improve bladder function in a rat model of detrusor smooth muscle-removed bladder.Methods Male rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: Normal, injury (detrusor smooth muscle-removed bladder), PLCL (detrusor smooth muscle-removed bladder implanted with PLCL sheets), and PLCL + ADSC (detrusor smooth muscle-removed bladder implanted with PLCL sheets seeded with hADSCs). Four weeks after the treatment, physiological, histological, immunohistochemical, and immunoblot analyses were performed.Results hADSCs were compatible with PLCL sheets. Further, the physiological study of PLCL + ADSC group showed significant improvement in compliance and contractility suggesting the functional improvement of the bladder. Histological, immunohistochemical and immunoblot analyses revealed the uniform distribution of hADSCs in between PLCL sheets as well as differentiation of hADSCs into smooth muscle cells (SMC) which is illustrated by the expression of SMC markers.Conclusion hADSCs seeded on the multilayered PLCL sheets has the potential to differentiate into SMC, thus facilitating the recovery of compliance and contractility of the injured bladder.

  • PLCL can act as matrix carrier of cells to carry out local delivery of cells to injured area, thus promoting repair of urinary tissues and organs such as urethra and bladder.

    “The above studies show that PLCL can act as a matrix carrier of cells to carry out local delivery of cells to the injured area, thus promoting the repair of urinary tissues and organs such as the urethra and bladder [213].”

    From Application of PLCL as a biodegradable polymer in biomedical engineering (2026) · cites this paper as [213]

    Section 2.7 describes hADSCs carried between PLCL sheets and placed over an injured rat bladder; the Introduction reports improved bladder function with these cell-seeded sheets. This supports local cell delivery for bladder repair, but the paper does not establish repair of the urethra or urinary organs generally. Page numbers are not available for these passages.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
