Matrix remodeling plays a fundamental role in physiological and pathological processes, as well as in tissue engineering applications. In this paper, optical coherence tomography (OCT), a nondestructive optical imaging technology, was used to image collagen gel remodeling by smooth muscle cells (SMCs). The optical scattering properties of collagen-SMC gels were characterized quantitatively by fitting OCT data to a theoretical model. Matrix remodeling over 5 days produced a 10-fold increase in the reflectivity of the collagen gels, corresponding to a decrease in scattering anisotropy from 0.91 to 0.46. The increase in reflectivity was corroborated in confocal mosaic images. Blocking matrix degradation in collagen-SMC gels with doxycycline, a non-specific matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) inhibitor, impeded the decrease in scattering anisotropy and resulted in few macroscopic signs of remodeling. Causing matrix degradation in acellular gels with a 3 hr treatment of MMP-8 (collagenase 2) partially mimicked the decrease in anisotropy measured in collagen-SMC gels after 5 days. These results suggest that the decrease in scattering anisotropy in the collagen-SMC gels was due to MMP activity that degrades collagen fibrils into smaller fragments.
