Clinical use of autogenous endothelial cell (EC) seeding of vascular prostheses (VP) would require reliable methods for EC harvest for immediate seeding or primary culture in a hospital or operating room setting. Observation of glove powder particles (GPP) in failed primary adult human saphenous vein EC (AHSVEC) cultures led us to study the effect of surgical GPP on cultured AHSVEC. Addition of GPP to the culture medium of growing ASHVEC cultures reduced the cell counts in a dose-dependent fashion; the mean concentration of GPP required to produce a >50% decrease in cell number was 1.5 ± 0.8 (SD) × 104GPP/ml (N= 10 experiments), equivalent to a mean dose of 36 μg glove powder per milliliter. The effect was seen within 24 hr of addition of GPP and was not due to interference with EC attachment and spreading or to changes in medium osmolality, pH, glucose, electrolyte, Ca2+, or Mg2+content. Instead, the effect appeared to be due to a filterable toxin added during the final rubber-vulcanizing stage of glove manufacture, since pure cornstarch particles and epichlorhydrin-treated pure cornstarch did not prevent culture growth, whereas 0.2 μm filtrates of medium incubated with GPP taken directly from gloves were lethal. We conclude that filterable cytotoxic substances from GPP may be an avoidable cause of failure in EC seeding of VP, and may affect surgical wound healing as well.
