Despite of progresses in tissue engineering based on cell/scaffold strategy, uneven cell distribution as well as tissue formation in the scaffold, limited cell seeding efficiency and inflammatory reaction triggered by the degradation of scaffold remain problems to be resolved. In this study, we proposed a novel cell-macroaggregate cultivation system, and explored a feasible strategy to construct three-dimensional cartilage tissue with shape of human nasal alar by using cell macroaggregate. Isolated chondrocytes was cultured at high density to form a monolayer chondrocyte sheet as well as expanded for seeding on the sheet to produce mechanically operable cell macroaggregate. Chondrocyte macroaggregates were then fabricated into transplants with shape of nasal alar by using Internal support or External scaffold techniques; results of in vivo chondrogenesis were investigated in immunocompetent animal. Chondrocyte macroaggregates presented long survival time and good viability; constructs fabricated using both techniques can develop into tissues with characteristic structure of native cartilage, glycosaminoglycans as well as type II collagen were highly produced in the ECM of engineered cartilages. By placing hyaluronan ester film as Internal support, the predetermined shape of the chondrocyte macroaggregate can be well maintained. In contrast, due to the poor mechanical stability of grafts fabricated in External scaffold group, obvious deformation occurred in harvested specimens. The experiment proved the usefulness of chondrocyte macroaggregate in cartilage regeneration, and provided a new strategy to engineer cartilage with special shape by using cell macroaggregate/biodegradable support.
