Transcription profiling of rat olfactory ensheathing cells (OEC) comparison of three populations

ABSTRACT: Comparison of three populations of OECs derived from the ONL of rats. The three populations were cultured employing the same culture medium but were maintained in vitro for a different amount of time (number of population doublings or PDs). OEC Ep cells were maintained for less than one week in vitro (less than 3 PDs); OEC Lp were maintained for over a year (more than 50 PDs) and TEG3 OEC cell line has been serially passed in culture for long-periods of time after genetic immortalization. Experiment Overall Design: RNA sample preparation and experimental design. Total RNA was isolated with TRIZOL (Invitrogen, Gibco-BRL) from primary OEC cultures (OEC Ep and Lp) and the OEC cell line (TEG3). Cultured cells were harvested at confluency with a rubber scrapper, resuspended in the TRIZOL reagent and processed following the manufacturersâ?? instructions. Two RNA pools were obtained from each OEC population (OEC Ep, OEC Lp and TEG3 cells). Each RNA pool was purified from three individual cultures (three 100mm dishes) and in the case of OEC Ep, each culture was derived from one rat. The total RNA was resuspended in DEPC (Sigma) water and stored at -70ÂºC prior to use. Total RNA concentration and purity were determined using Agilent2100 Bioanalizer. Experiment Overall Design: Microarray analysis. Total RNA pools were cleaned using Rneasy Kit from Qiagen. Biotinylated cRNA probes were generated from each RNA pool, fragmented, and applied to two different sets of Rat Genome Affymetrix GeneChip U34A Array. Affymetrix software (Microarray Suite version 5.0) was used to filter inaccurately represented probe sets.

The molecular mechanisms used by olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) to promote repair in the damaged adult mammalian CNS remain unknown. Thus, we used microarrays to analyze three OEC populations with different capacities to promote axonal regeneration in cultured rat retinal neurons. Gene expression in "long-term cultured OECs" that do not stimulate adult axonal outgrowth was compared with that of "primary olfactory ensheathing cells" and the immortalized OEC cell line TEG3. In this way, we ide ...[more]

Project description:Many surgical tendon repairs fail despite advances in surgical materials and techniques. Tendon repair failure can be partially attributed to the tendon’s poor intrinsic healing capacity and the repurposing of sutures from use in other tissues. Electrospun materials show promise as a biological scaffold to support endogenous tendon repair, but their relatively low tensile strength has limited their clinical translation. It is hypothesized that combining electrospun fibres with a stronger material may improve the suture’s mechanical properties while retaining biophysical cues necessary to encourage cell-mediated repair. This paper describes the production of a hybrid electrospun-extruded suture with a sheath of submicron electrospun fibres and a core of melt-extruded fibres. The porosity and tensile strength of this hybrid suture is compared to an electrospun-only braided suture and clinically used sutures Vicryl and PDS. Bioactivity is assessed by measuring the adsorbed serum proteins on electrospun and melt-extruded filaments using mass spectrometry. Human hamstring tendon fibroblast attachment and proliferation was quantified and compared between the hybrid and control sutures. Combining an electrospun sheath with melt-extruded cores created a hybrid braid with increased tensile strength (70.1±0.3N) compared to an electrospun only suture (12.9±1N, p<0.0001). The hybrid suture had a similar force at break to clinical sutures, but lower stiffness and stress. The Young’s modulus was 772.6±32Mpa for the hybrid suture, 1693.0±69Mpa for PDS, and 3838.0±132MPa for Vicryl, p<0.0001. Hybrid sutures had lower overall porosity than electrospun-only sutures (40±4% and 60±7%, respectively, p=0.0018) but had a significantly larger overall porosity and average pore diameter compared to surgical sutures. There were similar clusters of adsorbed proteins on electrospun and melt-extruded filaments, which were distinct from PDS. Tendon fibroblast attachment on hybrid and electrospun sutures was significantly higher than on clinical sutures (hybrid 28±7%; electrospun 24±7%; Vicryl 10±5%; PDS 2±0.1%, p<0.0001). Cell proliferation was significantly higher on hybrid and electrospun sutures compared to on clinical sutures. Overall, this study demonstrated that a bioactive suture with increased tensile strength and lower stiffness could be produced by adding a core of 10um melt-extruded fibres to a sheath of electrospun fibres. In contrast to currently used sutures, the hybrid sutures promoted a bioactive response: serum proteins adsorbed, and fibroblasts attached, survived, grew along the sutures, and adopted appropriate morphologies.
