In vitro throughput screening of anticancer drugs using patient-derived cell lines cultured on vascularized three-dimensional stromal tissues. Acta Biomater 2024; 183:111-129. [PMID: 38801868 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2024.05.037] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2024] [Revised: 05/06/2024] [Accepted: 05/21/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024]
Abstract
The development of high-throughput anticancer drug screening methods using patient-derived cancer cell (PDC) lines that maintain their original characteristics in an in vitro three-dimensional (3D) culture system poses a significant challenge to achieving personalized cancer medicine. Because stromal tissue plays a critical role in the composition and maintenance of the cancer microenvironment, in vitro 3D-culture using reconstructed stromal tissues has attracted considerable attention. Here, a simple and unique in vitro 3D-culture method using heparin and collagen together with fibroblasts and endothelial cells to fabricate vascularized 3D-stromal tissues for in vitro culture of PDCs is reported. Whereas co-treatment with bevacizumab, a monoclonal antibody against vascular endothelial growth factor, and 5-fluorouracil significantly reduced the survival rate of 3D-cultured PDCs to 30%, separate addition of each drug did not induce comparable strong cytotoxicity, suggesting the possibility of evaluating the combined effect of anticancer drugs and angiogenesis inhibitors. Surprisingly, drug evaluation using eight PDC lines with the 3D-culture method resulted in a drug efficacy concordance rate of 75% with clinical outcomes. The model is expected to be applicable to in vitro throughput drug screening for the development of personalized cancer medicine. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: To replicate the cancer microenvironment, we constructed a cancer-stromal tissue model in which cancer cells are placed above and inside stromal tissue with vascular network structures derived from vascular endothelial cells in fibroblast tissue using CAViTs method. Using this method, we were able to reproduce the invasion and metastasis processes of cancer cells observed in vivo. Using patient-derived cancer cells, we assessed the possibility of evaluating the combined effect with an angiogenesis inhibitor. Further, primary cancer cells also grew on the stromal tissues with the normal medium. These data suggest that the model may be useful for new in vitro drug screening and personalized cancer medicine.

Abstract
In vitro engineered skin models are emerging as an alternative platform to reduce and replace animal testing in dermatological research. Despite the progress made in recent years, considerable challenges still exist for the inclusion of diverse cell types within skin models. Blood vessels, in particular, are essential in maintaining tissue homeostasis and are one of many primary contributors to skin disease inception and progression. Substantial efforts in the past have allowed the successful fabrication of vascularized skin models that are currently utilized for disease modeling and drugs/cosmetics testing. This review first discusses the need for vascularization within tissue-engineered skin models, highlighting their role in skin grafting and disease pathophysiology. Second, the review spotlights the milestones and recent progress in the fabrication and utilization of vascularized skin models. Additionally, advances including the use of bioreactors, organ-on-a-chip devices, and organoid systems are briefly explored. Finally, the challenges and future outlook for vascularized skin models are addressed.

Abstract
Surfaces with biological functionalities are of great interest for biomaterials, tissue engineering, biophysics, and for controlling biological processes. The layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly is a highly versatile methodology introduced 30 years ago, which consists of assembling complementary polyelectrolytes or biomolecules in a stepwise manner to form thin self-assembled films. In view of its simplicity, compatibility with biological molecules, and adaptability to any kind of supporting material carrier, this technology has undergone major developments over the past decades. Specific applications have emerged in different biomedical fields owing to the possibility to load or immobilize biomolecules with preserved bioactivity, to use an extremely broad range of biomolecules and supporting carriers, and to modify the film's mechanical properties via crosslinking. In this review, the focus is on the recent developments regarding LbL films formed as 2D or 3D objects for applications in drug delivery and tissue engineering. Possible applications in the fields of vaccinology, 3D biomimetic tissue models, as well as bone and cardiovascular tissue engineering are highlighted. In addition, the most recent technological developments in the field of film construction, such as high-content liquid handling or machine learning, which are expected to open new perspectives in the future developments of LbL, are presented.

Abstract
Novel full-thickness skin substitutes are of increasing interest due to the inherent limitations of current models lacking capillary networks. Herein, we developed a novel full-thickness skin tissue containing blood capillary networks through a layer-by-layer assembly approach using a handy electrospinning apparatus and evaluated its skin wound coverage potential in vivo. The average diameter and thickness of fabricated poly-ε-caprolactone-cellulose acetate scaffolds were easily tuned in the range of 474 ± 77-758 ± 113 nm and 9.43 ± 2.23-29.96 ± 5.78 μm by varying electrospinning distance and duration, as indicated by FE-SEM. Besides, keratinocytes exhibited homogeneous differentiation throughout the fibrous matrix prepared with electrospinning distance and duration of 9 cm and 1.5 min within five-layer (5L) epidermal tissues with thickness of 135-150 μm. Moreover, coculture of vascular endothelial cells, circulating fibrocytes, and fibroblasts within the 5L dermis displayed network formation in vitro, resulting in reduced inflammatory factor levels and enhanced integration with the host vasculature in vivo. Additionally, the skin equivalent grafts consisting of the epidermal layer, biomimetic basement membrane, and vascularized dermis layer with an elastic modulus of approximately 11.82 MPa exhibited accelerated wound closure effect indicative of re-epithelialization and neovascularization with long-term cell survival into the host, which was confirmed by wound-healing rate, bioluminescence imaging activity, and histological analysis. It is the first report of a full-thickness skin equivalent constructed using a battery-operated electrospinning apparatus, highlighting its tremendous potential in regenerative medicine.

Abstract
We previously showed that junctional adhesion molecule 1 (JAM1) and coxsackievirus and adenovirus receptor (CXADR), tight junction-associated proteins, have important roles to maintain epithelial barrier function in gingival tissues. Smoking is considered to be a significant risk factor for periodontal disease. The present study was conducted to examine the effects of cigarette smoke extract (CSE) on JAM1 and CXADR in human gingival epithelial cells. CSE was found to cause translocation of JAM1 from the cellular surface to EGFR-positive endosomes, whereas CXADR did not. Using a three-dimensional multilayered gingival epithelial tissue model, CSE administration was found to increase permeability to lipopolysaccharide and peptidoglycan, whereas overexpression of JAM1 in the tissue model prevented penetration by those substrates. Furthermore, vitamin C increased JAM1 expression, and inhibited penetration of LPS and PGN induced by CSE. These findings strongly suggest that CSE disrupts gingival barrier function via dislocation of JAM1, thus allowing bacterial virulence factors to penetrate into subepithelial tissues. Furthermore, they indicate that vitamin C increases JAM1 expression and prevents disruption of gingival barrier function by CSE.

Abstract
For the treatment of irreversible, extensive skin damage, artificial skins or cultured skins are useful when allogeneic skins are unavailable. However, most of them lack vasculature, causing delayed perfusion and hence delay or failure in engraftment of the tissues. We previously developed a prevascularized three-dimensional (3D) cultured skin based on the layer-by-layer cell coating technique (LbL-3D skin), in which cells are seeded and laminated on a porous polymer membrane for medium supply to the thick cultured tissue. Recent animal studies have demonstrated that LbL-3D skin can achieve rapid perfusion and high graft survival after transplantation. However, there were practical issues with separating LbL-3D skins from the membranes before transplantation and the handling separated LbL-3D skins for transplantation. To address these problems, in this study, we examined the use of biodegradable porous polymer membranes that enabled the transplantation of LbL-3D skins together with the membranes, which could be decomposed after transplantation. Thin films made from poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) were irradiated with femtosecond laser pulses to create micro through-holes, producing porous membranes. We designed and fabricated culture inserts with the PLGA membranes and cultivated LbL-3D skins with 2 × 106 neonatal normal human dermal fibroblasts and 1 × 104 human umbilical vein endothelial cells in the dermis of 20 cell layers and 1 × 105 neonatal human epidermal keratinocytes in the epidermis. Histological analyses revealed that the skins cultured on the PLGA membranes had thickness of about 400 μm and that there were no defects in the quality of the skins cultured on the PLGA membranes when compared with those cultured on the conventional (nonbiodegradable) commercial membranes. The cultured LbL-3D skins were then transplanted together with the PLGA membranes onto full-thickness excisional wounds in mice. At 7 days posttransplantation onto a mouse, the tissues above and below the membrane were connected through the holes with collagen-positive fibers that appeared to migrate from both the host and donor sides, and favorable reepithelization was observed throughout the transplanted skin region. However, insufficient engraftment was observed in some cases. Thus, further optimization of the membrane conditions would be needed to improve the transplantation outcome.

Abstract
The respiratory tract is one of the frontline barriers for biological defense. Lung epithelial intercellular adhesions provide protection from bacterial and viral infections and prevent invasion into deep tissues by pathogens. Dysfunction of lung epithelial intercellular adhesion caused by pathogens is associated with development of several diseases, such as acute respiratory distress syndrome, pneumonia, and asthma. To elucidate the pathological mechanism of respiratory infections, two-dimensional cell cultures and animal models are commonly used, although are not useful for evaluating host specificity or human biological response. With the rapid progression and worldwide spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2, there is increasing interest in the development of a three-dimensional (3D) in vitro lung model for analyzing interactions between pathogens and hosts. However, some models possess unclear epithelial polarity or insufficient barrier functions and need the use of complex technologies, have high cost, and long cultivation terms. We previously reported about the fabrication of 3D cellular multilayers using a layer-by-layer (LbL) cell coating technique with extracellular matrix protein, fibronectin (FN), and gelatin (G). In the present study, such a LbL cell coating technique was utilized to construct a human 3D lung model in which a monolayer of the human lower airway epithelial adenocarcinoma cell line Calu-3 cells was placed on 3D-cellular multilayers composed of FN-G-coated human primary pulmonary fibroblast cells. The 3D lung model thus constructed demonstrated an epithelial-fibroblast layer that maintained uniform thickness until 7 days of incubation. Moreover, expressions of E-cadherin, ZO-1, and mucin in the epithelial layer were observed by immunohistochemical staining. Epithelial barrier integrity was evaluated using transepithelial electrical resistance values. The results indicate that the present constructed human 3D lung model is similar to human lung tissues and also features epithelial polarity and a barrier function, thus is considered useful for evaluating infection and pathological mechanisms related to pneumonia and several pathogens. Impact statement A novel in vitro model of lung tissue was established. Using a layer-by-layer cell coating technique, a three-dimensional cultured lung model was constructed. The present novel model was shown to have epithelial polarity and chemical barrier functions. This model may be useful for investigating interaction pathogens and human biology.

ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2023; 35:e2209149. [PMID: 36545785 DOI: 10.1002/adma.202209149] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2022] [Revised: 11/25/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
The development of tissue-like structures such as cell sheets, spheroids, and organoids has contributed to progress in regenerative medicine. Simultaneous achievement of scale up and high cell density of these tissues is challenging because sufficient oxygen cannot be supplied to the inside of large, high cell density tissues. Here, in vitro fabrication of vessels to supply oxygen to the inside of millimeter-sized scaffold-free tissues whose cell density is ≈200 million cells mL-1 , corresponding to those of native tissues, is shown. Hierarchical vascular networks by anastomosis of capillaries and a large vessel are essential for oxygen supply, whereas a large vessel or capillary networks alone make negligible contributions to the supply. The hierarchical vascular networks are formed by a top-down approach, which offers a new option for ex vivo whole organs without decellularization and 3D-bioprinting.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to validate an in vitro skin irritation test (SIT) using three-dimensional reconstructed human epidermal (RhE) skin equivalents prepared by layer-by-layer (LbL) method (LbL-3D Skin) in a series of interlaboratory studies. The goal of these validation studies is to evaluate the ability of this in vitro test to reliably discriminate skin irritant from nonirritant chemicals, as defined by OECD and UN GHS. This me-too validation study is to assess the within- and between-laboratory reproducibility, as well as the predictive capacity, of the LbL-3D Skin SIT in accordance with performance standards for OECD TG 439. The developed skin model, LbL-3D Skin had a highly differentiated epidermis and dermis, similar to the validated reference methods (VRM) and native human skin. The quality parameters (cell survival in controls, tissue integrity, and barrier function) were similar to VRM and in accordance with OECD TG 439. The LbL-3D Skin SIT validation study was performed by three participating laboratories and consisted of three independent tests using 20 reference chemicals. The results obtained with the LbL-3D Skin demonstrated high within-laboratory and between-laboratory reproducibility, as well as high accuracy for use as a stand-alone assay to distinguish skin irritants from nonirritants. The predictive potency of LbL-3D Skin SIT using total 54 test chemicals were comparable to those in other RhE models in OECD TG 439. The validation study demonstrated that LbL-3D Skin has proven to be a robust and reliable method for predicting skin irritation.

Abstract
This study presents a novel technique for fabricating microfluidic devices with microbial transglutaminase-gelatin gels instead of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), in which flow culture simulates blood flow and a capillary network is incorporated for assays of vascular permeability or angiogenesis. We developed a gelatin-based device with a coverslip as the bottom, which allows the use of high-magnification lenses with short working distances, and we observed the differences in cell dynamics on gelatin, glass, and PDMS surfaces. The tubes of the gelatin microfluidic channel are designed to be difficult to pull out of the inlet hole, making sample introduction easy, and the gelatin channel can be manipulated from the cell introduction to the flow culture steps in a manner comparable to that of a typical PDMS channel. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and normal human dermal fibroblasts (NHDFs) were successfully co-cultured, resulting in structures that mimicked blood vessels with inner diameters ranging from 10 µm to 500 µm. Immunostaining and scanning electron microscopy results showed that the affinity of fibronectin for gelatin was stronger than that for glass or PDMS, making gelatin a suitable substrate for cell adhesion. The ability for microscopic observation at high magnification and the ease of sample introduction make this device easier to use than conventional gelatin microfluidics, and the above-mentioned small modifications in the device structure are important points that improve its convenience as a cell assay device.

Abstract
Nanoarchitectonics, like architectonics, allows the design and building of structures, but at the nanoscale. Unlike those in architectonics, and even macro-, micro-, and atomic-scale architectonics, the assembled structures at the nanoscale do not always follow the projected design. In fact, they do follow the projected design but only for self-assembly processes producing structures with perfect order. Here, we look at nanoarchitectonics allowing the building of nanostructures without a perfect arrangement of building blocks. Here, fabrication of structures from molecules, polymers, nanoparticles, and nanosheets to polymer brushes, layer-by-layer assembly structures, and hydrogels through self-assembly processes is discussed, where perfect order is not necessarily the aim to be achieved. Both planar substrate and spherical template-based assemblies are discussed, showing the challenging nature of research in this field and the usefulness of such structures for numerous applications, which are also discussed here.

Abstract
Surface pre-reacted glass-ionomer (S-PRG) filler, produced by PRG technology for use with various dental materials, is bioactive and known to release ions from a glass-ionomer phase. We previously reported that coxsackievirus and adenovirus receptor (CXADR), a tight junction associated protein, was located in the epithelial barrier of gingival epithelium. In the present study, the tissue protective effects of an S-PRG eluate prepared with S-PRG filler were investigated using a three-dimensional human gingival epithelial tissue model. The results showed that the S-PRG eluate specifically induced CXADR expression at the transcriptional level of messenger RNA as well as the protein level, and also nuclear translocation of transcription factor EB (TFEB) in gingival epithelial cells. Furthermore, shigyakusan, a TFEB inhibitor, canceled induction of the CXADR protein by the S-PRG eluate. Additionally, gingival epithelial permeation by 40-kDa dextran, lipopolysaccharide, and peptidoglycan in the 3D-tissue models was prevented by the eluate, with those effects abrogated by knockdown of CXADR. These findings suggest that S-PRG eluate increases CXADR expression via the TFEB pathway, thus inhibiting penetration of bacterial virulence factors into subepithelial tissues.

Abstract
As the largest organ of the human body, the skin has a complex multi-layered structure. The composition of the skin includes cells, extracellular matrix (ECM), vascular networks, and other appendages. Because of the shortage of donor sites, skin substitutes are of great significance in the field of skin tissue repair. Moreover, skin models for disease research, drug screening, and cosmetic testing fall far short of the demand. Skin tissue engineering has made remarkable progress in developing skin models over the years. However, there are still several problems to be resolved. One of the crucial aspects is the lack of vascular systems for nutrient transport and waste disposal. Here, we will focus on the discussion and analysis of advanced manufacturing strategies for prevascularized skin, such as a scaffold-based method, cell coating technology, cell sheet engineering, skin-on-a-chip, and three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting. These key challenges, which restrict the prevascularized skin and provide perspectives on future directions will also be highlighted.

Abstract
Fabrication of vascularized large-scale constructs for regenerative medicine remains elusive since most strategies rely solely on cell self-organization or overly control cell positioning, failing to address nutrient diffusion limitations. We propose a modular and hierarchical tissue-engineering strategy to produce bonelike tissues carrying signals to promote prevascularization. In these 3D systems, disc-shaped microcarriers featuring nanogrooved topographical cues guide cell behavior by harnessing mechanotransduction mechanisms. A sequential seeding strategy of adipose-derived stromal cells and endothelial cells is implemented within compartmentalized, liquefied-core macrocapsules in a self-organizing and dynamic system. Importantly, our system autonomously promotes osteogenesis and construct's mineralization while promoting a favorable environment for prevascular-like endothelial organization. Given its modular and self-organizing nature, our strategy may be applied for the fabrication of larger constructs with a highly controlled starting point to be used for local regeneration upon implantation or as drug-screening platforms.

Abstract
Tattoos are highly trendy in western culture, but many people regret their tattoos for many reasons. It is essential to be aware of the ink location in advance to reduce the long and short-term side effects. In this study, diffuse reflectance (DR) experiments were conducted on two-layer (2L) tissue-mimicking phantoms, where ink was sandwiched between the layers. An appreciable difference in the DR profile was found between the 2L phantom with and without the tattoo ink using the crossover point (Cp) method. Our technique was applied to ex vivo porcine skin. A point of intersection was found, between the skin and the tattooed skin. In the shorter wavelengths (500-600 nm), a distinguishable 2L behavior was found, and in longer wavelengths (600-850 nm), a single layer behavior was found between the tattooed skin before and after the intersection. In biological tissue, this Cp indeed finds the tattoo ink without harm to the surrounding skin.

Abstract
A post-nanotechnology concept has been assigned to an emerging concept, nanoarchitectonics. Nanoarchitectonics aims to establish a discipline in which functional materials are fabricated from nano-scale components such as atoms, molecules, and nanomaterials using various techniques. Nanoarchitectonics opens ways to form a more unified paradigm by integrating nanotechnology with organic chemistry, supramolecular chemistry, material chemistry, microfabrication technology, and biotechnology. On the other hand, biological systems consist of rational organization of constituent molecules. Their structures have highly asymmetric and hierarchical features that allow for chained functional coordination, signal amplification, and vector-like energy and signal flow. The process of nanoarchitectonics is based on the premise of combining several different processes, which makes it easier to obtain a hierarchical structure. Therefore, nanoarchitectonics is a more suitable methodology for creating highly functional systems based on structural asymmetry and hierarchy like biosystems. The creation of functional materials by nanoarchitectonics is somewhat similar to the creation of functional systems in biological systems. It can be said that the goal of nanoarchitectonics is to create highly functional systems similar to those found in biological systems. This review article summarizes the synthesis of biomimetic and biological molecules and their functional structure formation from various viewpoints, from the molecular level to the cellular level. Several recent examples are arranged and categorized to illustrate such a trend with sections of (i) synthetic nanoarchitectonics for bio-related units, (ii) self-assembly nanoarchitectonics with bio-related units, (iii) nanoarchitectonics with nucleic acids, (iv) nanoarchitectonics with peptides, (v) nanoarchitectonics with proteins, and (vi) bio-related nanoarchitectonics in conjugation with materials.

Abstract
Biological cells such as bacterial, fungal, and mammalian cells always exploit sophisticated chemistries and exquisite micro- and nano-structures to execute life activities, providing numerous templates for engineering bioactive and biomorphic materials, devices, and systems. To transform biological cells into functional biocomposites, polymer-directed cell surface engineering and intracellular functionalization have been developed over the past two decades. Polymeric materials can be easily adopted by various cells through polymer grafting or in situ hydrogelation and can successfully bridge cells with other functional materials as interfacial layers, thus achieving the manufacture of advanced biocomposites through bioaugmentation of living cells and transformation of cells into templated materials. This review article summarizes the recent progress in the design and construction of cell-based biocomposites by polymer-directed strategies. Furthermore, the applications of cell-based biocomposites in broad fields such as cell research, biomedicine, and bioenergy are discussed. Last, we provide personal perspectives on challenges and future trends in this interdisciplinary area.

Abstract
The delivery of nitric oxide (NO)-an intrinsic cellular signaling molecule-is promising for disease treatment, in particular to vascular diseases, due to its endothelial-derived inherent nature. The limited diffusion distance of labile NO prompts researchers to develop various carriers and targeting methods for specific sites. In contrast to the apoptotic effect of NO, such as anticancer, delivering low NO concentration at the desired targeting area is still intricate in a physiological environment. In this study, the layer-by-layer assembled nanocoating is leveraged to develop a direct NO delivery platform to individual endothelial cells (ECs). NO can be localized to individual ECs via S-nitrosothiol-bound polyacrylic acid which is a polymer directly providing an endothelial-like constant level of NO. To increase angiogenic activation along with NO, VEGF is additionally applied to specific receptors on the cell surface. Notably, the survival and proliferation of ECs are significantly increased by a synergistic effect of NO and VEGF co-localized via nanocoating. Furthermore, the nanocoating remarkably promoted cell migration and tubule formation-prerequisites of angiogenesis. The proposed unique technology based on nanocoating demonstrates great potential for conferring desired angiogenic functions to individual ECs through efficient NO delivery.

Abstract
Periodontal diseases initiate on epithelial surfaces of the subgingival compartment, while the gingival epithelium functions as an epithelial barrier against microbial infection and orchestrates immune responses. Porphyromonas gingivalis is a major pathogen of periodontal diseases and has an ability to penetrate the epithelial barrier. To assess the molecular basis of gingival epithelial barrier dysfunction associated with P. gingivalis, we newly developed a three-dimensional multilayered tissue model of gingival epithelium with gene manipulation. Using this novel approach, P. gingivalis gingipains including Arg- or Lys-specific cysteine proteases were found to specifically degrade junctional adhesion molecule 1 and coxsackievirus and adenovirus receptor in the tissue model, leading to increased permeability for lipopolysaccharide, peptidoglycan, and gingipains. This review summarizes the strategy used by P. gingivalis to disable the epithelial barrier by disrupting specific junctional adhesion molecules.

Abstract
Chemokines are a family of cytokines that mediate leukocyte trafficking and are involved in tumor cell migration, growth, and progression. Although there is emerging evidence that multiple chemokines are expressed in tumor tissues and that each chemokine induces receptor‐mediated signaling, their collaboration to regulate tumor invasion and lymph node metastasis has not been fully elucidated. In this study, we examined the effect of CXCL12 on the CCR7‐dependent signaling in MDA‐MB‐231 human breast cancer cells to determine the role of CXCL12 and CCR7 ligand chemokines in breast cancer metastasis to lymph nodes. CXCL12 enhanced the CCR7‐dependent in vitro chemotaxis and cell invasion into collagen gels at suboptimal concentrations of CCL21. CXCL12 promoted CCR7 homodimer formation, ligand binding, CCR7 accumulation into membrane ruffles, and cell response at lower concentrations of CCL19. Immunohistochemistry of MDA‐MB‐231–derived xenograft tumors revealed that CXCL12 is primarily located in the pericellular matrix surrounding tumor cells, whereas the CCR7 ligand, CCL21, mainly associates with LYVE‐1+ intratumoral and peritumoral lymphatic vessels. In the three‐dimensional tumor invasion model with lymph networks, CXCL12 stimulation facilitates breast cancer cell migration to CCL21‐reconstituted lymphatic networks. These results indicate that CXCL12/CXCR4 signaling promotes breast cancer cell migration and invasion toward CCR7 ligand–expressing intratumoral lymphatic vessels and supports CCR7 signaling associated with lymph node metastasis.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer is the second most common gynecological malignancy in women. More than 70% of the cases are diagnosed at the advanced stage, presenting as primary peritoneal metastasis, which results in a poor 5-year survival rate of around 40%. Mechanisms of peritoneal metastasis, including adhesion, migration, and invasion, are still not completely understood and therapeutic options are extremely limited. Therefore, there is a strong requirement for a 3D model mimicking the in vivo situation. In this study, we describe the establishment of a 3D tissue model of the human peritoneum based on decellularized porcine small intestinal submucosa (SIS) scaffold. The SIS scaffold was populated with human dermal fibroblasts, with LP-9 cells on the apical side representing the peritoneal mesothelium, while HUVEC cells on the basal side of the scaffold served to mimic the endothelial cell layer. Functional analyses of the transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) and the FITC-dextran assay indicated the high barrier integrity of our model. The histological, immunohistochemical, and ultrastructural analyses showed the main characteristics of the site of adhesion. Initial experiments using the SKOV-3 cell line as representative for ovarian carcinoma demonstrated the usefulness of our models for studying tumor cell adhesion, as well as the effect of tumor cells on endothelial cell-to-cell contacts. Taken together, our data show that the novel peritoneal 3D tissue model is a promising tool for studying the peritoneal dissemination of ovarian cancer.

Abstract
Cultivating meat from stem cells rather than by raising animals is a promising solution to concerns about the negative externalities of meat production. For cultivated meat to fully mimic conventional meat's organoleptic and nutritional properties, innovations in scaffolding technology are required. Many scaffolding technologies are already developed for use in biomedical tissue engineering. However, cultivated meat production comes with a unique set of constraints related to the scale and cost of production as well as the necessary attributes of the final product, such as texture and food safety. This review discusses the properties of vertebrate skeletal muscle that will need to be replicated in a successful product and the current state of scaffolding innovation within the cultivated meat industry, highlighting promising scaffold materials and techniques that can be applied to cultivated meat development. Recommendations are provided for future research into scaffolds capable of supporting the growth of high-quality meat while minimizing production costs. Although the development of appropriate scaffolds for cultivated meat is challenging, it is also tractable and provides novel opportunities to customize meat properties.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Islet transplantation is an effective replacement therapy for type 1 diabetes (T1D) patients. However, shortage of donor organ for allograft is obstacle for further development of the treatment. Subcutaneous transplantation with stem cell-derived β-cells might overcome this, but poor vascularity in the site is burden for success in the transplantation. We investigated the effect of subcutaneous transplantation of vascularized β-cell spheroid tissue constructed 3-dimensionally using a layer-by-layer (LbL) cell-coating technique in a T1D model mouse. METHODS We used MIN6 cells to determine optimal conditions for the coculture of β-cell spheroids, normal human dermal fibroblasts, and human umbilical vein endothelial cells, and then, under those conditions, we constructed vascularized spheroid tissue using human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived β-cells (hiPS β cells). The function of insulin secretion of the vascularized hiPS β-cell spheroid tissue was evaluated in vitro. Furthermore, the function was investigated in T1D model NOD/SCID mice subcutaneously transplanted with the tissue. RESULTS In vitro, the vascularized hiPS β-cell spheroid tissue exhibited enhanced insulin secretion. The vascularized hiPS β-cell spheroid tissue also significantly decreased blood glucose levels in diabetic immunodeficient mice when transplanted subcutaneously. Furthermore, host mouse vessels were observed in the explanted vascularized hiPS β-cell spheroid tissue. CONCLUSIONS Vascularized hiPS β-cell spheroid tissue decreased blood glucose levels in the diabetic mice. This therapeutic effect was suggested due to host angiogenesis in the graft. This method could lead to a promising regenerative treatment for T1D patients.

Abstract
Breast cancer cells (BCCs) preferentially metastasize to bone. It is known that BCCs remotely primes the distant bone site prior to metastasis. However, the reciprocal influence of bone cells on the primary tumor is relatively overlooked. Here, to study the bone-tumor paracrine influence, a tri-cellular 3-D vascularized breast cancer tissue (VBCTs) model is engineered which comprised MDA-MB231, a triple-negative breast cancer cells (TNBC), fibroblasts, and endothelial cells. This is indirectly co-cultured with osteoblasts (OBs), thereby constituting a complex quad-cellular tumor progression model. VBCTs alone and in conjunction with OBs led to abnormal vasculature and reduced vessel density but enhanced VEGF production. A total of 1476 significantly upregulated and 775 downregulated genes are identified in the VBCTs exposed to OBs. HSP90N, CYCS, RPS27A, and EGFR are recognized as upregulated hub-genes. Kaplan Meier plot shows HSP90N to have a significant outcome in TNBC patient survivability. Furthermore, compared to cancer tissues without vessels, gene analysis recognized 1278 significantly upregulated and 566 downregulated genes in VBCTs. DKK1, CXCL13, C3 protein and BMP4 are identified to be downregulated hub genes in VBCTs. Together, a multi-cellular breast cancer model and culture protocols are established to study pre-metastatic events in the presence of OBs.

Abstract
Objectives Peritoneal metastasis (PM) is commonly observed in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). The outcome of these patients is poor, with an average survival of only six months without therapy, which requires a better understanding of PM biology and new treatment strategies. Methods We established and characterized a human ex vivo peritoneal model to investigate the mechanisms of peritoneal seeding and possible treatment options. For this, CRC cell lines and patient-derived tumor organoids were cultured together with human peritoneum to investigate the invasion of malignant cells and the effects of local chemotherapy. Results Fresh human peritoneum was cultured for up to three weeks in a stainless steel ring system, allowing for survival of all peritoneal structures. Peritoneal cell survival was documented by light microscopy and immunohistochemical staining. Further, immunohistological characterization of the tissue revealed CD3-positive T-lymphocytes and vimentin-positive fibroblasts within the peritoneum. In addition, extracellular matrix components (collagens, matrix metalloproteinases) were localized within the tissue. Coculture with CRC cell lines and patient-derived CRC organoids revealed that cancer cells grew on the peritoneum and migrated into the tissue. Coculture with CRC cells confirmed that hyperthermal treatment at 41 °C for 90 min significantly enhanced the intracellular entry of doxorubicin. Moreover, treatment with mitomycin C under hyperthermic conditions significantly reduced the amount of cancer cells within the peritoneum. Conclusions This human ex vivo peritoneal model provides a stringent and clinically relevant platform for the investigation of PM and for further elucidation of possible treatment options.

Abstract
Prevascularized artificial three-dimensional (3D) tissues are effective biomaterials for regenerative medicine. We have previously established a scaffold-free 3D artificial vascular tissue from normal human dermal fibroblasts (NHDFs) and umbilical vein-derived endothelial cells (HUVECs) by layer-by-layer cell coating technique. In this study, we constructed an artificial vascular tissue constructed by human adipose tissue-derived stromal cells (hASCs) and HUVECs (ASCVT) by a modified technique with cryopreservation. ASCVT showed a higher thickness with more dense vascular networks than the 3D tissue based on NHDFs. Correspondingly, 3D-cultured ASCs showed higher expression of several angiogenesis-related factors, including vascular endothelial growth factor-A and hepatic growth factor, compared to that of NHDFs. Moreover, perivascular cells in ASCVT were detected by pericyte markers, suggesting the differentiation of hASCs into pericyte-like cells. Subcutaneous transplantation of ASCVTs to nude mice resulted in an engraftment with anastomosis of host's vascular structures at 2 weeks after operation. In the engrafted tissue, the vascular network was surrounded by mural-like structure-forming hASCs, in which some parts developed to form vein-like structures at 4 weeks, suggesting the generation of functional vessel networks. These results demonstrated that cryopreserved human cells, including hASCs, could be used directly to construct the artificial transplantable tissue for regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are fundamental for intercellular communication and influence nearly every process in cell physiology. However, because of their intricate molecular complexity, quantitative knowledge on their signaling mechanisms is missing, particularly impeding their therapeutic application. We used a complementary and quantitative engineering approach based on sequential synthetic bottom-up assembly of fully functional EVs with precisely controlled lipid, protein, and RNA composition. We show that the functionalities of synthetic EVs are analogous to natural EVs and demonstrate their programmable therapeutic administration for wound healing and neovascularization therapy. We apply transcriptome profiling to systematically decode synergistic effects between individual EV constituents, enabling analytical dissection and a fundamental understanding of EV signaling.

Porphyromonas gingivalis induces penetration of lipopolysaccharide and peptidoglycan through the gingival epithelium via degradation of coxsackievirus and adenovirus receptor. Cell Microbiol 2021; 23:e13388. [PMID: 34448537 DOI: 10.1111/cmi.13388] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2021] [Revised: 08/13/2021] [Accepted: 08/22/2021] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
Porphyromonas gingivalis is a major pathogen of human periodontitis and dysregulates innate immunity at the gingival epithelial surface. We previously reported that the bacterium specifically degrades junctional adhesion molecule 1 (JAM1), causing gingival epithelial barrier breakdown. However, the functions of other JAM family protein(s) in epithelial barrier dysregulation caused by P. gingivalis are not fully understood. The present results show that gingipains, Arg-specific or Lys-specific cysteine proteases produced by P. gingivalis, specifically degrade coxsackievirus and adenovirus receptor (CXADR), a JAM family protein, at R145 and K235 in gingival epithelial cells. In contrast, a gingipain-deficient P. gingivalis strain was found to be impaired in regard to degradation of CXADR. Furthermore, knockdown of CXADR in artificial gingival epithelium increased permeability to dextran 40 kDa, lipopolysaccharide and peptidoglycan, whereas overexpression of CXADR in a gingival epithelial tissue model prevented penetration by those agents following P. gingivalis infection. Together, these results suggest that P. gingivalis gingipains breach the stratified squamous epithelium barrier by degrading CXADR as well as JAM1, which allows for efficient transfer of bacterial virulence factors into subepithelial tissues. TAKEAWAYS: P. gingivalis, a periodontal pathogen, degraded coxsackievirus and adenovirus receptor (CXADR), a JAM family protein, in gingival epithelial tissues. P. gingivalis gingipains, cysteine proteases, degraded CXADR at R145 and K235. CXADR degradation by P. gingivalis caused increased permeability to lipopolysaccharide and peptidoglycan through gingival epithelial tissues.

Abstract
Human skin equivalents (HSEs) consisting of an epidermis and dermis have been used as promising tools for drug evaluation and for clinical applications in regenerative medicine. Normal human dermal fibroblasts (NHDFs) are essential for the fabrication of HSEs because they play an important role in the maturation of the epidermis. Recently, epidermal tight junctions (TJs), which are complex cell-cell junctions, have attracted much attention as a second barrier and regulator for other barrier functions. In a previous study, we revealed the expression of TJ-related proteins and the time course of formation of TJ structure in the HSE (layer-by-layer (LbL)-three-dimensional (3D) Skin) constructed by layer-by-layer (LbL) cell coating technique that have a unique dermis consisting of NHDFs only (3D-fibroblast dermis). However, the effect of the 3D-fibroblast dermis on the formation of functional epidermal TJs is unknown. In this study, we investigated the effect of the 3D-fibroblast dermis on the expression of TJ-related proteins and TJ function in LbL-3D Skin. We demonstrated that the 3D-fibroblast dermis affects the long-term expression of TJ-related proteins and the formation of TJ with barrier function in the epidermis. These results show that the 3D-fibroblast dermis in LbL-3D Skin contributes to the formation and maintenance of functional TJs as in native human skin by direct contact with KCs.

Abstract
Strategic advances in the single-cell nanocoating of mammalian cells have noticeably been made during the last decade, and many potential applications have been demonstrated. Various cell-coating strategies have been proposed via adaptation of reported methods in the surface sciences and/or materials identification that ensure the sustainability of labile mammalian cells during chemical manipulation. Here an overview of the methodological development and potential applications to the healthcare sector in the nanocoating of mammalian cells made during the last decade is provided. The materials used for the nanocoating are categorized into polymers, hydrogels, polyphenolic compounds, nanoparticles, and minerals, and the corresponding strategies are described under the given set of materials. It also suggests, as a future direction, the creation of the cytospace system that is hierarchically composed of the physically separated but mutually interacting cellular hybrids.

Abstract
Tissue-engineered skin equivalents are reconstructed the functions of human skin and can be used as an alternative to animal experiments in basic study or as cultured skin for regenerative medicine. Recent studies confirmed that epidermal tight junctions (TJs), which are complex intercellular junctions formed in the stratum granulosum of human skin, play an important part in the formation of the skin barrier function. In well-formed reconstructed human skin models, there are several reports on the expression of TJ proteins and their localization in epidermal layer, however, the morphological features of TJ, showing tight junctional contacts and the process of TJ formation have yet to be investigated. In this study, we systematically examined and identified TJ-related proteins and TJ structure in three-dimensional (3D) human skin equivalents reconstructed by layer-by-layer (LbL) cell coating technique (LbL-3D Skin). We demonstrate localization of TJ-related proteins and time course of formation of TJ structure with typical junctional morphology in LbL-3D Skin. These data provide evidence that the LbL-3D Skin is an in vitro model with structure and function extremely similar to living skin.

Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a severe health problem characterized by progressive fibroblast proliferation and aberrant vascular remodeling. However, the lack of a suitable in vitro model that replicates cell-specific changes in IPF tissue is a crucial issue. Three-dimensional (3D) cell cultures allow the mimicking of cell-specific functions, facilitating development of novel antifibrosis drugs. We have established a layer-by-layer (LbL) cell coating technique that enables the construction of 3D tissue and also vascularized 3D tissue. This study evaluated whether this technique is beneficial for constructing an in vitro IPF-3D model using human lung fibroblasts and microvascular endothelial cells. We fabricated an in vitro IPF-3D model to provide IPF-derived fibroblasts-specific function and aberrant microvascular structure using the LbL cell coating technique. We also found that this in vitro IPF-3D model showed drug responsiveness to two antifibrosis drugs that have recently been approved worldwide. This in vitro IPF-3D model constructed by a LbL cell coating technique would help in the understanding of fibroblast function and the microvascular environment in IPF and could also be used to predict the efficacy of novel antifibrosis drugs. Impact statement We established a novel in vitro model mimicking idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Three-dimensional culture was constructed by layer-by-layer cell coating technique. This novel model provides a visualization of fibroblast-specific function. This assay allows for the assessment of pulmonary microvascular environment. Our model may be useful for predicting the efficacy of novel antifibrosis drugs.

Abstract
Stem cells play critical roles in tissue repair and regeneration. The construction of stem cell-derived microtissue is a promising strategy for transplanting cells into defects to improve tissue regeneration efficiency. However, rapidly constructing larger microtissues and promoting vascularization to ensure the cellular nutrient supply remain major challenges. Here, we have developed a magnetic device to rapidly construct and regulate millimeter-scale microtissues derived from magnetic nanoparticle-labeled cells. When the microtissue was cultured under a specific magnetic field, the shape of the microtissue could be changed. Importantly, cell proliferation was maintained, and angiogenesis was activated in the process of microtissue deformation. We developed a magnetic control method to treat microtissue, and the implanted microtissue showed excellent vascularizationin vivo. In brief, this magnetic control technology provides a promising strategy for vascularized regenerative medicine.

Abstract
From an "over-engineering" era in which biomaterials played a central role, now it is observed to the emergence of "developmental" tissue engineering (TE) strategies which rely on an integrative cell-material perspective that paves the way for cell self-organization. The current challenge is to engineer the microenvironment without hampering the spontaneous collective arrangement ability of cells, while simultaneously providing biochemical, geometrical, and biophysical cues that positively influence tissue healing. These efforts have resulted in the development of low-material based TE strategies focused on minimizing the amount of biomaterial provided to the living key players of the regenerative process. Through a "minimalist-engineering" approach, the main idea is to fine-tune the spatial balance occupied by the inanimate region of the regenerative niche toward maximum actuation of the key living components during the healing process.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is considered as one of the most malignant types of cancer with rapid metastasis and invasion of the cancer cells, having peritoneal metastasis (PM) as a dominant factor of poor prognosis. Although the prevention of peritoneal dissemination would result in the inhibition of the initial metastatic process and contribute in improving the poor prognosis of the pancreatic cancer, the initial dynamics of PM are still unclear because of the lack of adequate models in studying the morphological and molecular details of pancreatic cancer cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS The artificial human peritoneal tissue (AHPT) that can be applied in studying for the spatial dynamics of cancer PM in vitro has been established previously. In this study, the initial dynamics of the three pancreatic cell lines, undifferentiated carcinoma MIA PaCa-2, poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma Panc-1, and moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma BxPC3 on AHPT are examined. RESULTS In a morphological analysis using light and electron microscopy, MIA PaCa-2 cells spread on the mesothelial layer with disruption of the sheet structure and infiltrated into the stroma-like tissue in AHPT. On the other hand, BxPC3 cells changed shapes from round into flat ones with rapid proliferation and formed sheet structure at the surface of the tissue replacing the mesothelial layer without vertical invasion into the tissue. Panc-1 cells demonstrated the intermediate characteristics of MIA PaCa-2 and BxPC3 on AHPT. These diverse morphological characteristics were verified by the correspondence with the results in a mouse model and were reflected by the profile of secreted oncogenic proteins of the three pancreatic cell lines. CONCLUSIONS The initial dynamics in the peritoneal dissemination of these pancreatic cancer cell lines were demonstrated by AHPT, showing the morphological and molecular diversity depending on the degree of differentiation or the properties of oncogenic protein secretion.

Abstract
Remarkable progress in our ability to analyze diseased tissue has revolutionized our understanding of disease. From a simplistic understanding of abnormalities in bulk tissue, there is now increasing recognition that the heterogeneous and dynamically evolving disease microenvironment plays a crucial role in disease pathogenesis and progression as well as in the determination of therapeutic response. The disease microenvironment consists of multiple cell types as well as the various factors that these cells secrete. There is now immense interest in treatment strategies that target or modify the abnormal disease microenvironment, and a deeper understanding of the mechanisms that drive the formation, maintenance, and progression of the disease microenvironment is thus necessary. The advent of 3-dimensional (3D) cell culture technology has made possible the reconstitution of the disease microenvironment to a previously unimaginable extent in vitro. As an intermediate between traditional in vitro models based on 2-dimensional (2D) cell culture and in vivo models, 3D models of disease enable the in vitro reconstitution of complex interactions within the disease microenvironment which were unamenable in 2D while simultaneously allowing the mechanistic analysis of these interactions that would be difficult to perform in vivo. This symposium review aims to highlight the promise of using 3D cell culture technology to model and analyze the disease microenvironment using pancreatic cancer as an example.

Abstract
Cell surface coating using the layer-by-layer assembly (LbL) method has many advantages for biomedical applications. Because the cell surface is a dynamic and highly complex structure, it is hypothesized that LbL multilayer films on cells have characteristics different from those observed in traditional film characterization results. Here, to demonstrate the mechanism of LbL-film formation on cells, LbL films are prepared on HeLa cells using collagen (Col) and hyaluronic acid (HA). The growth behavior of the film and the main driving forces inducing the formation of an LbL film on the cells are investigated. Col self-assembles via electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions; therefore, the Col-based film on the cells grows laterally rather than volumetrically. For the film construction conditions, the ionic density and chain conformation of the polymers change, resulting in mainly hydrophobic interactions. Additional interactions, such as hydrophobic interactions and biological recognition between the substrate and building blocks, also exist and tightly stabilize the films on the cells. The Col/HA film shows an even distribution on the cell surface as the extracellular matrix, and it activates proliferation and the cytoprotective signaling pathway under harsh conditions, resulting in the focal adhesion kinase signaling pathway and low lactate dehydrogenase release. Therefore, information for film construction on cells is beneficial to understand the effectiveness of an LbL film for cells.

Development of a drug screening system using three-dimensional cardiac tissues containing multiple cell types. Sci Rep 2021; 11:5654.

Abstract
We hypothesized that an appropriate ratio of cardiomyocytes, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and extracellular matrix (ECM) factors would be required for the development of three-dimensional cardiac tissues (3D-CTs) as drug screening systems. To verify this hypothesis, ECM-coated human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs), ECM-coated cardiac fibroblasts (CFs), and uncoated cardiac endothelial cells (CEs) were mixed in the following ratios: 10:0:0 (10CT), 7:2:1 (7CT), 5:4:1 (5CT), and 2:7:1 (2CT). The expression of cardiac-, fibroblasts-, and endothelial-specific markers was assessed by FACS, qPCR, and immunostaining while that of ECM-, cell adhesion-, and ion channel-related genes was examined by qPCR. Finally, the contractile properties of the tissues were evaluated in the absence or presence of E-4031 and isoproterenol. The expression of ECM- and adhesion-related genes significantly increased, while that of ion channel-related genes significantly decreased with the CF proportion. Notably, 7CT showed the greatest contractility of all 3D-CTs. When exposed to E-4031 (hERG K channel blocker), 7CT and 5CT showed significantly decreased contractility and increased QT prolongation. Moreover, 10CT and 7CT exhibited a stronger response to isoproterenol than did the other 3D-CTs. Finally, 7CT showed the highest drug sensitivity among all 3D-CTs. In conclusion, 3D-CTs with an appropriate amount of fibroblasts/endothelial cells (7CT in this study) are suitable drug screening systems, e.g. for the detection of drug-induced arrhythmia.

Abstract
Individual cell environment stimulating single cell is a suitable strategy for the generation of sophisticated multicellular aggregates with localized biochemical signaling. However, such strategy for induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived embryoid bodies (EBs) is limited because the presence of external stimulation can inhibit spontaneous cellular communication, resulting in misdirection in the maturation and differentiation of EBs. In this study, a facile method of engineering the iPSC membrane to stimulate the inner cell of EBs while maintaining cellular activities is reported. We coated the iPSC surface with nanoscale extracellular matrix fabricated by self-assembly between vitronectin and heparin. This nano-coating allowed iPSC to retain its in vitro properties including adhesion capability, proliferation, and pluripotency during its aggregation. More importantly, the nano-coating did not induce lineage-specific differentiation but increased E-cadherin expression, resulting in promotion of development of EB. This study provides a foundation for future production of sophisticated patient-specific multicellular aggregates by modification of living cell membranes. VTN/HEP nano-coating acts as a flexible individual cellular environment VTN/HEP nano-coating stimulates embryoid body to promote its development VTN/HEP nano-coating preserves spontaneous cell aggregation

Abstract
In this study, three-dimensional (3D) cardiac tissue constructed using the pin type bioprinter 'microscopic painting device' and layer-by-layer cell coating technique was confirmed to have drug responsiveness by three different analytical methods for cardiotoxicity assay. Recently, increasing attention has been focused on biofabrication to create biomimetic 3D tissue. Although various tissues can be produced in vitro, there are many issues surrounding the stability and reproducibility of the preparation of 3D tissues. Thus, although many bioprinters have been developed, none can efficiently, reproducibly and precisely produce small 3D tissues (μm-mm order) such as spheroids, which are most commonly used in drug development. The 3D cardiac tissue chips were successfully constructed with a similar number of cells as conventional 2D tissue using a pin type bioprinter, and corresponding drug-induced cardiotoxicities were obtained with known compounds that induce cardiotoxicity. The 3D cardiac tissue chips displayed uniform cell density and completely synchronized electrophysiological properties as compared to 2D tissue. The 3D tissues constructed using a pin type bioprinter as a biofabrication device would be promising tools for cardiotoxicity assay as they are capable of obtaining stable and reproducible data, which cannot be obtained by 2D tissue.

Abstract
The maintenance of a healthy vascular system is essential to ensure the proper function of all organs of the human body. While macrovessels have the main role of blood transportation from the heart to all tissues, microvessels, in particular capillaries, are responsible for maintaining tissues' functionality by providing oxygen, nutrients and waste exchanges. Occlusion of blood vessels due to atherosclerotic plaque accumulation remains the leading cause of mortality across the world. Autologous vein and artery grafts bypassing are the current gold standard surgical procedures to substitute primarily obstructed vascular structures. Ischemic scenarios that condition blood supply in downstream tissues may arise from blockage phenomena, as well as from other disease or events leading to trauma. The (i) great demand for new vascular substitutes, arising from both the limited availability of healthy autologous vessels, as well as the shortcomings associated with small-diameter synthetic vascular grafts, and (ii) the challenging induction of the formation of adequate and stable microvasculature are current driving forces for the growing interest in the development of bioinspired strategies to ensure the proper function of vasculature in all its dimensional scales. Here, a critical review of well-established technologies and recent biotechnological advances to substitute or regenerate the vascular system is provided.

Abstract
![]()
Psoriasis
is an incurable, immune-mediated inflammatory disease
characterized by the hyperproliferation and abnormal differentiation
of keratinocytes. To study in depth the pathogenesis of this disease
and possible therapy options suitable, pre-clinical models are required.
Three-dimensional skin equivalents are a potential alternative to
simplistic monolayer cultures and immunologically different animal
models. However, current skin equivalents lack long-term stability,
which jeopardizes the possibility to simulate the complex disease-specific
phenotype followed by long-term therapeutic treatment. To overcome
this limitation, the cell coating technique was used to fabricate
full-thickness human skin equivalents (HSEs). This rapid and scaffold-free
fabrication method relies on coating cell membranes with nanofilms
using layer-by-layer assembly, thereby allowing extended cultivation
of HSEs up to 49 days. The advantage in time is exploited to develop
a model that not only forms a disease phenotype but can also be used
to monitor the effects of topical or systemic treatment. To generate
a psoriatic phenotype, the HSEs were stimulated with recombinant human
interleukin 17A (rhIL-17A). This was followed by systemic treatment
of the HSEs with the anti-IL-17A antibody secukinumab in the presence
of rhIL-17A. Microarray and RT-PCR analysis demonstrated that HSEs
treated with rhIL-17A showed downregulation of differentiation markers
and upregulation of chemokines and cytokines, while treatment with
anti-IL-17A antibody reverted these gene regulations. Gene ontology
analysis revealed the proinflammatory and chemotactic effects of rhIL-17A
on the established HSEs. These data demonstrated, at the molecular
level, the effects of anti-IL-17A antibody on rhIL-17A-induced gene
regulations. This shows the physiological relevance of the developed
HSE and opens venues for its use as an alternative to ex vivo skin explants and animal testing.
