3D-HA Scaffold Functionalized by Extracellular Matrix of Stem Cells Promotes Bone Repair.

ABSTRACT: Background and Purpose:The extracellular matrix (ECM) derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) has been used in regenerative medicine because of its good biological activity; however, its poor mechanical properties limit its application in bone regeneration. The purpose of this study is to construct a three dimensional-printed hydroxyapatite (3D-HA)/BMSC-ECM composite scaffold that not only has biological activity but also sufficient mechanical strength and reasonably distributed spatial structure. Methods:A BMSC-ECM was first extracted and formed into micron-sized particles, and then the ECM particles were modified onto the surface of 3D-HA scaffolds using an innovative linking method to generate composite 3D-HA/BMSC-ECM scaffolds. The 3D-HA scaffolds were used as the control group. The basic properties, biocompatibility and osteogenesis ability of both scaffolds were tested in vitro. Finally, a critical skull defect rat model was created and the osteogenesis effect of the scaffolds was evaluated in vivo. Results:The compressive modulus of the composite scaffolds reached 9.45±0.32 MPa, which was similar to that of the 3D-HA scaffolds (p>0.05). The pore size of the two scaffolds was 305±47 um and 315±34 um (p>0.05), respectively. A CCK-8 assay indicated that the scaffolds did not have cytotoxicity. The composite scaffolds had good cell adhesion ability, with a cell adhesion rate of up to 76.00±6.17% after culturing for 7 hours, while that of the 3D-HA scaffolds was 51.85±4.77% (p<0.01). In addition, the composite scaffold displayed higher alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, osteogenesis-related mRNA expression, and calcium nodule formation, thus confirming that the composite scaffolds had good osteogenic activity. The composite scaffolds exhibited good bone repair in vivo and were superior to the 3D-HA scaffolds. Conclusion:We conclude that BMSC-ECM is a good osteogenic material and that the composite scaffolds have good osteogenic ability, which provides a new method and concept for the repair of bone defects.

Project description:Bone defects affect millions of people worldwide each year, leading to severe disabilities. Biomimetic scaffolds mediated tissue regeneration represents a promising alternative for bone repair. However, the major problem associated with most currently clinical available artificial bone substitutes (scaffolds) is that they mainly possess filling function but lack of osteo-induction abilities. Therefore, development of biomaterials with osteo-induction property for effective bone regeneration is highly desired. Methods: We report the design and fabrication of a photo-crosslinked sericin methacryloyl (SerMA)/ graphene oxide (GO) hydrogel (SMH/GO) as a biomimetic scaffold for the functional repair of the bone. The mechanical strength, degradation and biocompatibility behavior of SMH/GO hydrogel were measured in vitro. The effect of SMH/GO hydrogel on BMSCs proliferation, migration, osteogenesis differentiation was assessed. After that, SMH/GO-2 was used as an artificial bone substitute for bone regeneration after calvarial defects and effect on bone repair was evaluated by histological, X-Ray and microCT analysis. Furthermore, the potential mechanism of SMH/GO hydrogel regulating BMSCs migration and differentiation was investigated by RNA sequencing. Results: This scaffold has good biocompatibility, cell adhesive property, proliferation- and migration-promoting effects, and osteogenic induction property. After being implanted in a rat calvarial defect model, this SMH/GO scaffold effectively promotes new bone regeneration and achieves structural and functional repair within 12 weeks by inducing autologous bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) differentiation. By utilizing cell-biological assays and RNA sequencing, we reveal its possible regeneration mechanisms: the SMH/GO hydrogel regulates BMSCs migration and osteo-differentiation via activating MAPK, TNF, and chemokine signaling for bone regeneration. Conclusion: Aiming to meet clinical demands and overcome current limitations of existing artificial bones, we have developed a new type of sericin/ graphene oxide composite scaffold and provided histological, functional, and molecular evidence demonstrating that it is capable of effectively repairing defective bones by inducing autologous BMSCs directional migration and osteogenic differentiation.

Project description:Cultivated meat, an advancement in cellular agriculture, holds promise in addressing environmental, ethical, and health challenges associated with traditional meat production. Utilizing tissue engineering principles, cultivated meat production employs biomaterials and technologies to create cell-based structures by introducing cells into a biocompatible scaffold, mimicking tissue organization. Among the cell sources used for producing muscle-like tissue for cultivated meats, primary adult stem cells like muscle satellite cells exhibit robust capabilities for proliferation and differentiation into myocytes, presenting a promising avenue for cultivated meat production. Evolutionarily optimized for growth in a 3D microenvironment, these cells benefit from the biochemical and biophysical cues provided by the extracellular matrix (ECM), regulating cell organization, interactions, and behavior. While plant protein-based scaffolds have been explored for their utilization for cultivated meat, they lack the biological cues for animal cells unless functionalized. Conversely, a decellularized bovine placental tissue ECM, processed from discarded birth tissue, achieves the biological functionalities of animal tissue ECM without harming animals. In this study, collagen and total ECM were prepared from decellularized bovine placental tissues. The collagen content was determined to be approximately 70% and 40% in isolated collagen and ECM, respectively. The resulting porous scaffolds, crosslinked through a dehydrothermal (DHT) crosslinking method without chemical crosslinking agents, supported the growth of bovine myoblasts. ECM scaffolds exhibited superior compatibility and stability compared to collagen scaffolds. In an attempt to make cultivate meat constructs, bovine myoblasts were cultured in steak-shaped ECM scaffolds for about 50 days. The resulting construct not only resembled muscle tissues but also displayed high cellularity with indications of myogenic differentiation. Furthermore, the meat constructs were cookable and able to sustain the grilling/frying. Our study is the first to utilize a unique bovine placentome-derived ECM scaffold to create a muscle tissue-like meat construct, demonstrating a promising and sustainable option for cultivated meat production.
