Adhesive stem cell coatings for enhanced retention in the heart tissue.

ABSTRACT: Injection into the heart tissue is a direct route for optimally placing mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) to regulate local inflammation following a heart attack. The retention of MSCs at the injection site is severely limited by the fluid flows that rapidly wash cells away and minimize their capacity to modulate cardiac inflammation. To prevent this loss of MSCs and their function, antibody coatings were designed for the surface of MSCs to enhance their adhesion to the inflamed tissue. MSCs were biotinylated, and biotinylated antibodies against intercellular cell adhesion molecules were conjugated to the cell surface through an intermediate layer of streptavidin. MSC surfaces were modified with ~7,000 biotin/?m2 and ~23 antibodies/?m2. The heart tissue injection of antibody-coated MSCs offered a 3-fold increase of cell retention in an infarcted heart over the injection of uncoated MSCs. We supported the mechanism of adhesion through analysis of MSC adhesion to inflamed endothelial cells and also surfaces of purified adhesion molecules on glass under microfluidic shear flow.

Project description:The combination of multiple physiological (swelling, porosity, mechanical, and biodegradation) and biological (cell/tissue-adhesive, cell proliferation, and hemostatic) properties on a single hydrogel has great potential for skin tissue engineering. Adhesive hydrogels based on polydopamine (PDA) have become the most popular in the biomedical field; however, integrating multiple properties on a single adhesive hydrogel remains a challenge. Here, inspired by the chemistry of mussels, we developed PDA-sodium alginate-polyacrylamide (PDA-SA-PAM)-based hydrogels with multiple physiological and biological properties for skin tissue engineering applications. The hydrogels were prepared by alkali-induced polymerization of DA followed by complexation with SA in PAM networks. The chemical composition of the hydrogels was characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. PDA-SA complexed chains were homogeneously dispersed in the PAM network and exhibited good elasticity and excellent mechanical properties, such as a compressive stress of 0.24 MPa at a compression strain of 70% for 0.4PDA-SA-PAM. The adhesive hydrogel also maintained a highly interconnected porous structure (∼94% porosity) along with PDA microfibrils. The hydrogel possesses outstanding swelling and biodegradability properties. Owing to the presence of the PDA-SA complex in the PAM network, the hydrogels show good adhesion to various substrates (plastic, skin, glass, computer screens, and leaves); for example, the adhesive strength of the 0.4PDA-SA-PAM to porcine skin was 24.5 kPa. The adhesive component of the PDA-SA chains in the PAM network significantly improves the cell proliferation, cell attachment, cell spreading, and functional expression of human skin fibroblasts (CCD-986sk) and keratinocytes. Moreover, the PDA chains exhibited good hemostatic properties, resulting in rapid blood coagulation. Considering their excellent cell affinity, and rapid blood coagulation ability, these mussel-inspired hydrogels have substantial potential for skin tissue engineering applications.
