Saporito S, Panzetta V, Netti PA. Time and space modulation of substrate curvature to regulate cell mechanical identity. Acta Biomater 2024:S1742-7061(24)00451-3. [PMID: 39127326 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2024.08.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2024] [Revised: 07/08/2024] [Accepted: 08/05/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024]
Abstract
Recently, a variety of microenvironmental biophysical stimuli have been proved to play a crucial role in regulating cell functions. Among them, morpho-physical cues, like curvature, are emerging as key regulators of cellular behavior. Changes in substrate curvature have been shown to impact the arrangement of Focal Adhesions (FAs), influencing the direction and intensity of cytoskeleton generated forces and resulting in an overall alteration of cell mechanical identity. In their native environment, cells encounter varying degrees of substrate curvature, and in specific organs, they are exposed to dynamic changes of curvature due to periodic tissue deformation. However, the mechanism by which cells perceive substrate curvature remains poorly understood. To this aim, a micro-pneumatic device was designed and implemented. This device enables the controlled application of substrate curvature, both statically and dynamically. Employing a combined experimental and simulative approach, human adipose-derived stem cells were exposed to controlled curvature intensity and frequency. During this exposure, measurements were taken on FAs extension and orientation, cytoskeleton organization and cellular/nuclear alignment. The data clearly indicated a significant influence of the substrate curvature on cell adhesion processes. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the mechanisms through which cells perceive and respond to substrate curvature signals. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: This work is our contribution to the comprehension of substrate curvature's function as a crucial regulator of cell adhesion at the scale of focal adhesions and cell mechanical identity. In recent years, a large body of knowledge is continuously growing providing comprehension of the role of various microenvironmental biophysical stimuli in regulating cell functions. Nevertheless, little is known about the role of substrate curvature, in particular, when cells are exposed to this stimulus in a dynamic manner. To address the role of substrate curvature on cellular behavior, a micro-pneumatic device was designed and implemented. This device enables the controlled application of substrate curvature, both statically and dynamically. The experiment data made it abundantly evident that the substrate curvature had a major impact on the mechanisms involved in cell adhesion.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI) stands as a prominent contributor to global cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality rates. Acute MI (AMI) can result in the loss of a large number of cardiomyocytes (CMs), which the adult heart struggles to replenish due to its limited regenerative capacity. Consequently, this deficit in CMs often precipitates severe complications such as heart failure (HF), with whole heart transplantation remaining the sole definitive treatment option, albeit constrained by inherent limitations. In response to these challenges, the integration of bio-functional materials within cardiac tissue engineering has emerged as a groundbreaking approach with significant potential for cardiac tissue replacement. Bioengineering strategies entail fortifying or substituting biological tissues through the orchestrated interplay of cells, engineering methodologies, and innovative materials. Biomaterial scaffolds, crucial in this paradigm, provide the essential microenvironment conducive to the assembly of functional cardiac tissue by encapsulating contracting cells. Indeed, the field of cardiac tissue engineering has witnessed remarkable strides, largely owing to the application of biomaterial scaffolds. However, inherent complexities persist, necessitating further exploration and innovation. This review delves into the pivotal role of biomaterial scaffolds in cardiac tissue engineering, shedding light on their utilization, challenges encountered, and promising avenues for future advancement. By critically examining the current landscape, we aim to catalyze progress toward more effective solutions for cardiac tissue regeneration and ultimately, improved outcomes for patients grappling with cardiovascular ailments.

Effect of Functionalization of Texturized Polypropylene Surface by Silanization and HBII-RGD Attachment on Response of Primary Abdominal and Vaginal Fibroblasts. Polymers (Basel) 2024; 16:667.

Abstract
Soft tissue defects, such as incisional hernia or pelvic organ prolapse, are prevalent pathologies characterized by a tissue microenvironment rich in fragile and dysfunctional fibroblasts. Precision medicine could improve their surgical repair, currently based on polymeric materials. Nonetheless, biomaterial-triggered interventions need first a better understanding of the cell-material interfaces that truly consider the patients' biology. Few tools are available to study the interactions between polymers and dysfunctional soft tissue cells in vitro. Here, we propose polypropylene (PP) as a matrix to create microscale surfaces w/wo functionalization with an HBII-RGD molecule, a fibronectin fragment modified to include an RGD sequence for promoting cell attachment and differentiation. Metal mold surfaces were roughened by shot blasting with aluminum oxide, and polypropylene plates were obtained by injection molding. HBII-RGD was covalently attached by silanization. As a proof of concept, primary abdominal and vaginal wall fasciae fibroblasts from control patients were grown on the new surfaces. Tissue-specific significant differences in cell morphology, early adhesion and cytoskeletal structure were observed. Roughness and biofunctionalization parameters exerted unique and combinatorial effects that need further investigation. We conclude that the proposed model is effective and provides a new framework to inform the design of smart materials for the treatment of clinically compromised tissues.

Alginate-waterborne polyurethane 3D bioprinted scaffolds for articular cartilage tissue engineering. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 253:127070.

Abstract
Articular cartilage defects comprise a spectrum of diseases associated with degeneration or damage of the connective tissue present in particular joints, presenting progressive osteoarthritis if left untreated. In vitro tissue regeneration is an innovative treatment for articular cartilage injuries that is attracting not only clinical attention, but also great interest in the development of novel biomaterials, since this procedure involves the formation of a neotissue with the help of material support. In this work, functional alginate and waterborne polyurethane (WBPU) scaffolds have been developed for articular cartilage regeneration using 3D bioprinting technology. The particular properties of alginate-WBPU blends, like mechanical strength, elasticity and moistening, mimic the original cartilage tissue characteristics, being ideal for this application. To fabricate the scaffolds, mature chondrocytes were loaded into different alginate-WBPU inks with rheological properties suitable for 3D bioprinting. Bioinks with high alginate content showed better 3D printing performance, as well as structural integrity and cell viability, being most suitable for scaffolds fabrication. After 28 days of in vitro cartilage formation experiments, scaffolds containing 3.2 and 6.4 % alginate resulted in the maintenance of cell number in the range of 104 chondrocytes/scaffold in differentiated phenotypes, capable of synthesizing specialized extracellular matrix (ECM) up to 6 μg of glycosaminoglycans (GAG) and thus, showing a potential application of these scaffolds for in vitro regeneration of articular cartilage tissue.

Abstract
Today, a wide variety of bio- and nanomaterials have been deployed for cardiovascular tissue engineering (TE), including polymers, metal oxides, graphene/its derivatives, organometallic complexes/composites based on inorganic-organic components, among others. Despite several advantages of these materials with unique mechanical, biological, and electrical properties, some challenges still remain pertaining to their biocompatibility, cytocompatibility, and possible risk factors (e.g., teratogenicity or carcinogenicity), restricting their future clinical applications. Natural polysaccharide- and protein-based (nano)structures with the benefits of biocompatibility, sustainability, biodegradability, and versatility have been exploited in the field of cardiovascular TE focusing on targeted drug delivery, vascular grafts, engineered cardiac muscle, etc. The usage of these natural biomaterials and their residues offers several advantages in terms of environmental aspects such as alleviating emission of greenhouse gases as well as the production of energy as a biomass consumption output. In TE, the development of biodegradable and biocompatible scaffolds with potentially three-dimensional structures, high porosity, and suitable cellular attachment/adhesion still needs to be comprehensively studied. In this context, bacterial cellulose (BC) with high purity, porosity, crystallinity, unique mechanical properties, biocompatibility, high water retention, and excellent elasticity can be considered as promising candidate for cardiovascular TE. However, several challenges/limitations regarding the absence of antimicrobial factors and degradability along with the low yield of production and extensive cultivation times (in large-scale production) still need to be resolved using suitable hybridization/modification strategies and optimization of conditions. The biocompatibility and bioactivity of BC-based materials along with their thermal, mechanical, and chemical stability are crucial aspects in designing TE scaffolds. Herein, cardiovascular TE applications of BC-based materials are deliberated, with a focus on the most recent advancements, important challenges, and future perspectives. Other biomaterials with cardiovascular TE applications and important roles of green nanotechnology in this field of science are covered to better compare and comprehensively review the subject. The application of BC-based materials and the collective roles of such biomaterials in the assembly of sustainable and natural-based scaffolds for cardiovascular TE are discussed.

Abstract
3D printing is one of the effective scaffold fabrication techniques that emerged in the 21st century that has the potential to revolutionize the field of tissue engineering. The solid scaffolds developed by 3D printing are still one of the most sought-after approaches for developing hard-tissue regeneration and repair. However, applications of these solid scaffolds get limited due to their poor surface and bulk properties, which play a significant role in tissue integration, loadbearing, antimicrobial/antifouling properties, and others. As a result, several efforts have been directed to modify the surface and bulk of these solid scaffolds. These modifications have significantly improved the adoption of 3D-printed solid scaffolds and devices in the healthcare industry. Nevertheless, the in vivo implant applications of these 3D-printed solid scaffolds/devices are still under development. They require attention in terms of their surface/bulk properties, which dictate their functionality. Therefore, in the current review, we have discussed different 3D-printing parameters that facilitate the fabrication of solid scaffolds/devices with different properties. Further, changes in the bulk properties through material and microstructure modification are also being discussed. After that, we deliberated on the techniques that modify the surfaces through chemical and material modifications. The computational approaches for the bulk modification of these 3D-printed materials are also mentioned, focusing on tissue engineering. We have also briefly discussed the application of these solid scaffolds/devices in tissue engineering. Eventually, the review is concluded with an analysis of the choice of surface/bulk modification based on the intended application in tissue engineering.

Abstract
The extracellular matrix (ECM) of the tissue organ exhibits a topography from the nano to micrometer range, and the design of scaffolds has been inspired by the host environment. Modern bioprinting aims to replicate the host tissue environment to mimic the native physiological functions. A detailed discussion on the topographical features controlling cell attachment, proliferation, migration, differentiation, and the effect of geometrical design on the wettability and mechanical properties of the scaffold are presented in this review. Moreover, geometrical pattern-mediated stiffness and pore arrangement variations for guiding cell functions have also been discussed. This review also covers the application of designed patterns, gradients, or topographic modulation on 3D bioprinted structures in fabricating the anisotropic features. Finally, this review accounts for the tissue-specific requirements that can be adopted for topography-motivated enhancement of cellular functions during the fabrication process with a special thrust on bioprinting.

Abstract
Microgrooved surfaces are recognized as an important strategy of tissue engineering to promote the alignment of bone cells. In this work, we have investigated the mechanical and morphological aspects of osteoblasts cells after interaction with different micro-structured polymeric surfaces. Femtosecond laser writing technique was used for the construction of circular and parallel microgrooved patterns in biocompatible polymeric surfaces based on pentaerythritol triacrylate. Additionally, we have studied the influence of the biocompatible TiO2 nanocrystals (NCs) related to the cell behavior, when incorporated to the photoresin. The atomic force microscopy technique was used to investigate the biomechanical reaction of the human osteoblast-like MG-63 cells for the different microgroove. It was demonstrated that osteoblasts grown on circular microgrooved surfaces exhibited significantly larger Young's modulus compared to cells sown on flat films. Furthermore, we could observe that TiO2 NCs improved the circular microgrooves effects, resulting in more populated sites, 34% more elongated cells, and increasing the cell stiffness by almost 160%. These results can guide the design and construction of effective scaffold surfaces with circular microgrooves for tissue engineering and bone regeneration.

Abstract
Soft tissue injuries such as volumetric muscle loss (VML) are often too large to heal normally on their own, resulting in scar formation and functional deficits. Decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) scaffolds placed into these wounds have shown the ability to modulate the immune response and drive constructive healing. This provides a potential solution for functional tissue regeneration, however, these acellular dECM scaffolds are challenging to fabricate into complex geometries. 3D bioprinting is uniquely positioned to address this, being able to create patient-specific scaffolds based on clinical 3D imaging data. Here, a process to use freeform reversible embedding of suspended hydrogels (FRESH) 3D bioprinting and computed tomography (CT) imaging to build large volume, patient-specific dECM patches (≈12 × 8 × 2 cm) for implantation into canine VML wound models is developed. Quantitative analysis shows that these dECM patches are dimensionally accurate and conformally adapt to the surface of complex wounds. Finally, this approach is extended to a human VML injury to demonstrate the fabrication of clinically relevant dECM scaffolds with precise control over fiber alignment and micro-architecture. Together these advancements represent a step towards an improved, clinically translatable, patient-specific treatment for soft tissue defects from trauma, tumor resection, and other surgical procedures.

Abstract
Granular synthetic hydrogels are useful bioinks for their compatibility with a variety of chemistries, affording printable, stimuli-responsive scaffolds with programmable structure and function. Additive manufacturing of microscale hydrogels, or microgels, allows for the fabrication of large cellularized constructs with percolating interstitial space, providing a platform for tissue engineering at length scales that are inaccessible by bulk encapsulation where transport of media and other biological factors are limited by scaffold density. Herein, synthetic microgels with varying degrees of degradability are prepared with diameters on the order of hundreds of microns by submerged electrospray and UV photopolymerization. Porous microgel scaffolds are assembled by particle jamming and extrusion printing, and semi-orthogonal chemical cues are utilized to tune the void fraction in printed scaffolds in a logic-gated manner. Scaffolds with different void fractions are easily cellularized post printing and microgels can be directly annealed into cell-laden structures. Finally, high-throughput direct encapsulation of cells within printable microgels is demonstrated, enabling large-scale 3D culture in a macroporous biomaterial. This approach provides unprecedented spatiotemporal control over the properties of printed microporous annealed particle scaffolds for 2.5D and 3D tissue culture.

Abstract
Failure of tissues and organs resulting from degenerative diseases or trauma has caused huge economic and health concerns around the world. Tissue engineering represents the only possibility to revert this scenario owing to its potential to regenerate or replace damaged tissues and organs. In a regeneration strategy, biomaterials play a key role promoting new tissue formation by providing adequate space for cell accommodation and appropriate biochemical and biophysical cues to support cell proliferation and differentiation. Among other physical cues, the architectural features of the biomaterial as a kind of instructive stimuli can influence cellular behaviors and guide cells towards a specific tissue organization. Thus, the optimization of biomaterial micro/nano architecture, through different manufacturing techniques, is a crucial strategy for a successful regenerative therapy. Over the last decades, many micro/nanostructured biomaterials have been developed to mimic the defined structure of ECM of various soft and hard tissues. This review intends to provide an overview of the relevant studies on micro/nanostructured scaffolds created for soft and hard tissue regeneration and highlights their biological effects, with a particular focus on striated muscle, cartilage, and bone tissue engineering applications.

Demonstrating the Potential of Using Bio-Based Sustainable Polyester Blends for Bone Tissue Engineering Applications. Bioengineering (Basel) 2022; 9:163. [PMID: 35447723 PMCID: PMC9025038 DOI: 10.3390/bioengineering9040163] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2022] [Revised: 03/28/2022] [Accepted: 03/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Healthcare applications are known to have a considerable environmental impact and the use of bio-based polymers has emerged as a powerful approach to reduce the carbon footprint in the sector. This research aims to explore the suitability of using a new sustainable polyester blend (Floreon™) as a scaffold directed to aid in musculoskeletal applications. Musculoskeletal problems arise from a wide range of diseases and injuries related to bones and joints. Specifically, bone injuries may result from trauma, cancer, or long-term infections and they are currently considered a major global problem in both developed and developing countries. In this work we have manufactured a series of 3D-printed constructs from a novel biopolymer blend using fused deposition modelling (FDM), and we have modified these materials using a bioceramic (wollastonite, 15% w/w). We have evaluated their performance in vitro using human dermal fibroblasts and rat mesenchymal stromal cells. The new sustainable blend is biocompatible, showing no differences in cell metabolic activity when compared to PLA controls for periods 1-18 days. FloreonTM blend has proven to be a promising material to be used in bone tissue regeneration as it shows an impact strength in the same range of that shown by native bone (just under 10 kJ/m2) and supports an improvement in osteogenic activity when modified with wollastonite.
