Brodeur A, Winter A, Roy V, Touzel Deschênes L, Gros-Louis F, Ruel J. Spherical rotary cell seeding system for production of small-caliber tissue-engineered blood vessels with complex geometry. Sci Rep 2023; 13:3001. [PMID: 36810756 PMCID: PMC9944280 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-29825-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2022] [Accepted: 02/10/2023] [Indexed: 02/23/2023] Open
Abstract
Entirely biological human tissue-engineered blood vessels (TEBV) were previously developed for clinical use. Tissue-engineered models have also proven to be valuable tools in disease modelling. Moreover, there is a need for complex geometry TEBV for study of multifactorial vascular pathologies, such as intracranial aneurysms. The main goal of the work reported in this article was to produce an entirely human branched small-caliber TEBV. The use of a novel spherical rotary cell seeding system allows effective and uniform dynamic cell seeding for a viable in vitro tissue-engineered model. In this report, the design and fabrication of an innovative seeding system with random spherical 360° rotation is described. Custom made seeding chambers are placed inside the system and hold Y-shaped polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG) scaffolds. The seeding conditions, such as cell concentration, seeding speed and incubation time were optimized via count of cells adhered on the PETG scaffolds. This spheric seeding method was compared to other approaches, such as dynamic and static seeding, and clearly shows uniform cell distribution on PETG scaffolds. With this simple to use spherical system, fully biological branched TEBV constructs were also produced by seeding human fibroblasts directly on custom-made complex geometry PETG mandrels. The production of patient-derived small-caliber TEBVs with complex geometry and optimized cellular distribution all along the vascular reconstructed may be an innovative way to model various vascular diseases such as intracranial aneurysms.

Abstract
Decellularization of organs creates an acellular scaffold, ideal for being repopulated by cells. In this work, a low-cost perfusion system was created to be used in the process of liver decellularization and as a bioreactor after recellularization. It consists of a glass chamber to house the organ coupled to a peristaltic pump to promote liquid flow through the organ vascular tree. The rats' liver decellularization was made with a solution of sodium dodecyl sulfate. The recellularization was made with 108 mesenchymal stromal/stem cells and cultivated for seven days. The decellularized matrices showed an absence of DNA while preserving the collagen and glycosaminoglycans quantities, confirming the efficiency of the process. The functional analyses showed a rise in lactate dehydrogenase levels occurring in the first days of the cultivation, suggesting that there is cell death in this period, which stabilized on the seventh day. Histological analysis showed conservation of the collagen web and some groups of cells next to the vessels. It was possible to establish a system for decellularization and a bioreactor to use for the recellularization method. It is easy to assemble, can be ready to use in little time and be easily sterilized.

Characterization of Biological Properties of Dental Pulp Stem Cells Grown on an Electrospun Poly(l-lactide- co-caprolactone) Scaffold. MATERIALS 2022; 15:ma15051900. [PMID: 35269131 PMCID: PMC8911644 DOI: 10.3390/ma15051900] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2021] [Revised: 02/15/2022] [Accepted: 03/01/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
Poly(l-lactide-co-caprolactone) (PLCL) electrospun scaffolds with seeded stem cells have drawn great interest in tissue engineering. This study investigated the biological behavior of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) grown on a hydrolytically-modified PLCL nanofiber scaffold. The hDPSCs were seeded on PLCL, and their biological features such as viability, proliferation, adhesion, population doubling time, the immunophenotype of hDPSCs and osteogenic differentiation capacity were evaluated on scaffolds. The results showed that the PLCL scaffold significantly supported hDPSC viability/proliferation. The hDPSCs adhesion rate and spreading onto PLCL increased with time of culture. hDPSCs were able to migrate inside the PLCL electrospun scaffold after 7 days of seeding. No differences in morphology and immunophenotype of hDPSCs grown on PLCL and in flasks were observed. The mRNA levels of bone-related genes and their proteins were significantly higher in hDPSCs after osteogenic differentiation on PLCL compared with undifferentiated hDPSCs on PLCL. These results showed that the mechanical properties of a modified PLCL mat provide an appropriate environment that supports hDPSCs attachment, proliferation, migration and their osteogenic differentiation on the PLCL scaffold. The good PLCL biocompatibility with dental pulp stem cells indicates that this mat may be applied in designing a bioactive hDPSCs/PLCL construct for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
In this work, a bilayer chitosan/sodium alginate scaffold was prepared via a needleless electrospinning technique. The layer of sodium alginate was electrospun over the layer of chitosan. The introduction of partially deacetylated chitin nanowhiskers (CNW) stabilized the electrospinning and increased the spinnability of the sodium alginate solution. A CNW concentration of 7.5% provided optimal solution viscosity and structurization due to electrostatic interactions and the formation of a polyelectrolyte complex. This allowed electrospinning of defectless alginate nanofibers with an average diameter of 200-300 nm. The overall porosity of the bilayer scaffold was slightly lower than that of a chitosan monolayer, while the average pore size of up to 2 μm was larger for the bilayer scaffold. This high porosity promoted mesenchymal stem cell proliferation. The cells formed spherical colonies on the chitosan nanofibers, but formed flatter colonies and monolayers on alginate nanofibers. The fabricated chitosan/sodium alginate bilayer material was deemed promising for tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Using electrospun fibers to deliver therapeutic agents has gained significant attention in various applications including cancer treatment and tissue regeneration. However, the effect of fluid flow and uptake by cells on the concentration profile is not well understood. In this study, we evaluated the release of lipophilic resveratrol from poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL)-gelatin (GT) electrospun fibers experimentally and by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Resveratrol containing PCL-GT electrospun fibers were formed and used in a custom-built tubular bioreactor, to assess flow effect on concentration profile over 5 days. CFD model was developed to simulate release in both static cultures and under fluid flow conditions. Resveratrol stability in the culture medium and uptake by human umbilical vein endothelial cells and K562 cells over 3 days were used in the model. The concentration profile as a function of time was simulated and validated by experiments. The effects of inlet velocity, cellular uptake rate, bioreactor's length, and surrounding tissue porosity were assessed. The release profile was mainly affected by cellular uptake and the presence of porous media. The model suggests that the perfusion velocity might not have a significant effect relative to the cellular uptake rate and porosity of the surrounding tissue.

Abstract
This paper examines the effect of electromagnetic waves, with maxima in the green or red regions of the spectrum, on the morphofunctional state of multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells. The illumination regimes used in our experiments did not lead to any substantial heating of the samples; the physical parameters of the lighting were carefully monitored. When the samples were illuminated with a green light, no significant photostimulatory effect was observed. Red light, on the other hand, had an evident photostimulatory effect. It is shown that photostimulation with a red light decreases the enzymatic activities of mitochondrial dehydrogenases and enhances the viability of cells, their proliferative activity, and their ability to form bone tissue. It is also established that red light stimulates cell proliferation, while not activating the genes that increase the risk of the subsequent malignant transformation of cells or their death. This paper discusses the possible role of hydrogen peroxide in the processes examined.

Abstract
Surface properties of biomaterials, such as chemistry and morphology, have a major role in modulating cellular behavior and therefore impact on the development of high-performance devices for biomedical applications, such as scaffolds for tissue engineering and systems for drug delivery. Opportunely-designed micro- and nanostructures provides a unique way of controlling cell-biomaterial interaction. This mini-review discusses the current research on the use of electrospinning (extrusion of polymer nanofibers upon the application of an electric field) as effective technique to fabricate patterns of micro- and nano-scale resolution, and the corresponding biological studies. The focus is on the effect of morphological cues, including fiber alignment, porosity and surface roughness of electrospun mats, to direct cell migration and to influence cell adhesion, differentiation and proliferation. Experimental studies are combined with computational models that predict and correlate the surface composition of a biomaterial with the response of cells in contact with it. The use of predictive models can facilitate the rational design of new bio-interfaces.

Abstract
Electrical stimulation (ES) and magnetic stimulation (MS) can promote bone tissue formation in vivo. Loading ES and MS simultaneously would be very beneficial for bone tissue construction in vitro or in vivo. Magnetic-conductive bi-functional scaffolds which are favorable for the transfer of ES and MS, could further facilitate bone cell/tissue growth. Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT)/Fe3O4/polylactic acid-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) magnetic-conductive bi-functional fibrous scaffolds were prepared through in situ polymerization of EDOT on Fe3O4/PLGA fibers. MC3T3-E1 pre-osteoblasts were incubated on the PEDOT/Fe3O4/PLGA fibrous scaffolds and were stimulated by electrical, magnetic and electrical-magnetic signals respectively to detect the impact of different stimulation on cell viability. The measured results show that the scaffolds possess good conductivity and superparamagnetic responsiveness. Furthermore, both electrical and magnetic stimulation promoted cell proliferation and magnetic stimulation could induce cell alignment arrangement. Meanwhile, under electrical-magnetic double stimulation, cell viability was much higher than for cells under single electrical or magnetic stimulation. The growth promoting effects of PEDOT/Fe3O4/PLGA fibrous scaffolds under electrical-magnetic double stimulation has great practical potential for bone tissue engineering.
