概要 Introduction:Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a minimally invasive treatment for early esophageal cancer. However, large mucosal defects after esophageal ESD result in refractory strictures. In the present study, we histologically evaluated the endoscopic transplantation of allogeneic epidermal cell sheets (ECSs) as a feasible therapy for preventing esophageal stricture after circumferential ESD in a porcine model.Methods:Epidermal cells were isolated from the skin tissue of allogeneic pigs and cultured on temperature-responsive cell culture inserts for 2 weeks. Transplantable ECSs were harvested by reducing the temperature and endoscopically transplanting the sheets to ulcer sites immediately after esophageal ESD. The engraftment of transplanted ECSs was then evaluated in two pigs at 7 days after transplantation. Next, ten pigs were divided into two groups to evaluate the endoscopic transplantation of allogeneic ECSs for the prevention of esophageal strictures after ESD. Allogeneic ECSs were transplanted immediately after esophageal ESD in the transplantation group (n = 5), whereas the control group (n = 5) did not undergo transplantation.Results:Most of the transplanted allogeneic ECSs were successfully engrafted at the ulcer sites in the early phase. Fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis revealed that several allogeneic cells were present in the transplanted area at 7 days after ESD. At 14 days after ESD, significant differences in body weight loss, dysphagia scores, and mucosal strictures were observed between the control and transplantation groups. Transplanting allogeneic ECSs after esophageal ESD promotes mucosal healing and angiogenesis and prevents excessive inflammation and granulation tissue formation.Conclusions:Endoscopic and histological analyses revealed that allogeneic ECSs promoted artificial ulcer healing after ESD, preventing esophageal strictures after ESD.
