Definitions
- the present invention relates to the production of a valve implant and its use in the treatment of congenital heart disease, cardiac, venous and lymphatic valve disease, in particular tetralogy of Fallot.
- references in parentheses [ ] refer to the list of references presented at the end of the text.
- Congenital heart disease is a malformation of the heart present at birth. Its severity can vary, from a very minor form that will never cause heart problems, to a very serious form that requires treatment. Congenital heart disease occurs when the chambers, walls, or valves of the heart - or the blood vessels near the heart - do not develop normally before birth. The majority of congenital heart diseases can be classified into two main categories: cyanogenic and non-cyanogenic (the word cyanogenic resulting from the bluish color of the skin of affected patients). These attacks vary in severity depending on the case.
- Non-cyanotic congenital heart disease can result from different malformations: holes in the heart or septal malformations (ASD septal defect, VSD ventricular septal defect) and blood circulation obstruction (stenosis, atresia, insufficiency). While in some cases medication may be sufficient to treat a patient, however, in many cases faulty heart valves need to be repaired.
- the availability of human heart valves being extremely limited (source: cadaver), or even non-existent in children for size reasons, repairs generally consist of the use of valves made from biological materials, in particular animal pericardium (in particular bovine) and generally chemically treated (eg fixation with glutaraldehyde) to avoid rejection and rapid degradation.
- This strategy is the basis of the design of all so-called biological valves currently marketed because of animal origin, and mounted on a synthetic support structure, often including a type of stent [20].
- this attachment causes a chronic non-specific inflammatory reaction known as a “foreign body reaction” (FBR) of the same nature as that observed during the implantation of synthetic biomaterials, and the leading cause of implant complications.
- FBR foreign body reaction
- the FBR is much less intense than the specific rejection directed towards intact animal tissues, hence the interest of fixation.
- the fixation by denaturing the proteins, renders them insensitive to host enzymes which are normally capable of rapidly degrading them.
- tetralogy of Fallot is one of the most common forms. It represents 7 to 10% of newborns suffering from congenital heart disease [1 , 2], It combines pulmonary valve stenosis, right ventricular hypertrophy, ventricular septal defect (VSD), and aortic dextroposition. These abnormalities will affect the heart's structure and pulsatile capacities, which will cause stenosis on the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT), and ultimately oxygen desaturation in the arterial blood.
- Surgical repair consists of closing the VSD and removing the RVOT stenosis around the age of 6 months of the patient's life.
- RVOT stenosis is corrected by positioning a transannular patch, which unfortunately leads to pulmonary valve leakage [3, 4]. If left untreated, this pulmonary valve leakage causes dilation and dysfunction of the right ventricle, which will be associated with ventricular arrhythmias and an increased risk of sudden death in adulthood.
- stent-mounted biological valves or industry-supplied mechanical valves in this infant population remains completely impractical [5]. Techniques have been developed to limit these leaks from the pulmonary valve, such as the use of a monocuspid valve [6].
- This valve can be made from biological materials, in particular by using bovine pericardium chemically treated to prevent rejection [5] or synthetic polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membranes [6].
- PTFE polytetrafluoroethylene
- these materials are subject to limitations. Although relatively flexible, extremely strong, and easy to handle, glutaraldehyde-treated bovine pericardium and synthetic membranes are associated with thromboembolic complications and/or infective endocarditis [7-9]. Furthermore, these materials are recognized as foreign bodies that cause chronic inflammatory reactions. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membranes, like all synthetic materials, are also a cause of serious infections. Finally, current options have shown ineffective results in the short and medium term to limit pulmonary valve leakage.
- the inventors propose to use a completely biological biomaterial composed of an extracellular matrix (ECM) secreted by human dermal fibroblasts, which is truly biocompatible [10-13]. Its remarkable biocompatibility comes from the structure of the MEC which represents a different advantage which is added to that of the biological or human nature of the proteins which compose it. Indeed, during implantation, the body's immune system can recognize the foreign origin of a protein thanks to its so-called “adaptive” immune system, but it can also recognize an abnormal (or "distorted") organization of the MEC thanks to its innate immune system.
- ECM extracellular matrix
- the organism when the ECM is damaged by a physical, thermal or infectious trauma, the organism will be able to quickly digest the damaged ECM, thanks to macrophage-like cells, to allow specialized cells, of the fibroblast type, to reconstruct an ECM. It is this mechanism that comes into play when a collagen matrix produced by physicochemical methods is implanted in an organism. This will be quickly degraded by the innate immune system because it does not have a "physiological" organization but rather a denatured structure [23-25].
- the sheet produced in vitro is much more homogeneous, from the point of view of structure and composition, than a tissue taken from in vivo. This can have mechanical and biological advantages.
- the sheet offers greater reproducibility, which may have advantages from the point of view of quality control in a commercial production context.
- the structure of this material is very particular and distinguishes it from other materials used so far to produce valves.
- This biomaterial having a puncture resistance that can reach 2 to 6 kgf [26] has also been used in the construction of a valve implant comprising a tubular structure and at least two pieces of MEC sheet (cusps or valves) connected to said structure; the sheet being as defined above (cf. “single-layer tissue sheet” of international application WO 20123/142879) [19].
- This biological implant has never been proposed for the repair of valves in children suffering from congenital heart disease, in particular suffering from tetralogy of Fallot.
- the present invention responds precisely to this need by proposing a biological implant comprising or consisting of the association of a sheet of tissue consisting of an extracellular matrix (ECM) secreted by cells, preferably human, in culture and optionally cells themselves (hereafter also referred to as MEC sheet), with biologically modified yarns or ribbons, synthetic and/or derived from the same biological material.
- ECM extracellular matrix
- MEC sheet biologically modified yarns or ribbons, synthetic and/or derived from the same biological material.
- a completely biological valve implant ( Figure 1) from a sheet of MEC as defined above, from which they cut a piece which was folded over it once. - even to form a pocket-like valve.
- MEC sheets were also cut into ribbons to produce organic MEC yarns.
- cusps or valves of native pulmonary valves containing live cells were extracted, particularized and positioned in the valve in the form of a pocket. Then, the pocket was closed and the construct was sutured at the level of the pulmonary exit tract using biological or synthetic threads or tapes.
- valve implant that can be readily accepted by the host, can be colonized by host cells, remodeled after implantation (eg by the growing child treated for tetralogy of Fallot), and which can evolve with the patient.
- this valve implant has the potential to grow, which differs from art implants (eg with stent, attached animal pericardium, polymer film or bioengineered film made from isolated and reconstituted proteins) which require their removal and replacement via open-heart surgery associated with a high mortality rate.
- the valve implant according to the invention therefore has potential for pediatric applications.
- ECM Human nature and the quasi-native organization of this ECM avoids the need for fixation to avoid its degradation or to reinforce it, which allows the valve implant according to the invention to be accepted by the recipient patient, without rejection. or chronic inflammation with visible vascularization at 2 weeks; which promises superior efficiency and durability to valves or valves made from materials of animal or synthetic origin. Use of reconstituted ECM would lead to complete degradation within weeks and device failure or would require chemical treatments which would render it a source of chronic inflammation which is a source of complication and device failure valves.

- the substrate can be coated with, among other things, adhesion proteins (e.g. RGD peptides, fibrin, etc.) or gelatin to facilitate cell adhesion.
- the substrate can have different shapes (e.g. custom, round, rectangular, square, triangular, octagonal, pentagonal, etc%) in order to obtain the desired MEC sheet format.
- the culture medium contains, but is not limited to, ascorbic compounds and serum for ECM production and assembly. Its composition depends on the cell type and is typically changed three times a week.
- the culture period varies between 4 and 24 weeks, preferably from 16 to 20 weeks, preferably from 6 to 8 weeks.

- EXAMPLE 1 METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING A COMPLETELY BIOLOGICAL VALVE IMPLANT AND ITS CHARACTERISTICS
- This example describes an approach to fabricating a completely biological valve implant.
- the resulting valve is composed of non-living (devitalized) tissue and produced under sterile conditions, precluding the use of a terminal sterilization or fixation step.
- all assembly steps are carried out in a sterile environment, with sterile liquids and instruments.
- This description is not intended to limit the scope of this invention with respect to valve production method, cell types, cell source, cell age, cell line, culture conditions, shape sheet or sheet piece, number of sheets or sheet pieces, suturing material, suturing method, or intended use of the valve.
- Those skilled in the art will easily understand that various modifications can be made to the process without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention.
- the tissue sheets were obtained by culturing normal human skin fibroblasts in T-225 cm 2 flasks. For each flask, the cells were seeded at a density of 10,000 cells/cm 2 and cultured in a culture medium composed of DMEM-F12, bovine serum (20%) and sodium ascorbate (500 mM) . The whole was placed in an incubator with an atmosphere at 37° C. composed of 5% CO2 and 95% air. The culture medium was changed 3 times a week. After about three days, rods made of 304 stainless steel in an L shape.
- the culture flask was cut in half lengthwise with a hot wire and the leaf was taken out of the bottle using the inner frame (anchoring system which is also used for handling the sheet) to be used in the manufacture of the biological wire and the pocket-shaped valve.
- anchoring system which is also used for handling the sheet
- a sheet of wet tissue was placed on a cutting surface including a double spiral pattern allowing to make a ribbon with a width of 5 mm and a length of 2.4 m (Figure 2).
- the fabric sheet was then dried on the cut surface for at least 2 hours under a laminar flow hood.
- the tape was then cut manually using curved surgical scissors and then rehydrated to separate it from the cut surface.
- One end of the ribbon was then twisted on itself with a rotary motor at a value of 5 revolutions per cm over a length of 2 cm to form a thread (Figure 3). This twisted area was gently massaged during twisting and until the end was completely dry, thus reducing the diameter of the yarn as much as possible (Figure 4).
- the native valves of the patient's pulmonary valve were surgically resected and then particularized using a scalpel blade. The particles were then drawn into a syringe which allowed their delivery into the pocket-like valve.
- a sheet of wet tissue was placed on a cutting surface including an oval-shaped pattern (length: 8 cm and width: 3 cm) and dried under a laminar flow hood for at least 2 hours. The dried sheet was then cut according to the pattern using curved scissors. Once cut, the tissue was rehydrated with water for at least 30 minutes and the particles containing living cells were placed on half the surface of the sheet piece forming the pocket-shaped valve using of the syringe. Finally, the piece of sheet was folded back on itself along the minor axis (3 cm) of the oval shape to give a pocket-like valve with the following dimensions: height of 4 cm and width of 3 cm.
