Hybrid Bioactive Hydrogel Promotes Liver Regeneration through the Activation of Kupffer Cells and ECM Remodeling After Partial Hepatectomy. Adv Healthc Mater 2024; 13:e2303828. [PMID: 38608209 DOI: 10.1002/adhm.202303828] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2023] [Revised: 03/31/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024]
Abstract
Partial hepatectomy is an essential surgical technique used to treat advanced liver diseases such as liver tumors, as well as for performing liver transplants from living donors. However, postoperative complications such as bleeding, abdominal adhesions, wound infections, and inadequate liver regeneration pose significant challenges and increase morbidity and mortality rates. A self-repairing mixed hydrogel (O5H2/Cu2+/SCCK), containing stem cell derived cytokine (SCCK) derived from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (HUMSCs) treated with the traditional Chinese remedy Tanshinone IIA (TSA), is developed. This SCCK, in conjunction with O5H2, demonstrates remarkable effects on Kupffer cell activation and extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling. This leads to the secretion of critical growth factors promoting enhanced proliferation of hepatocytes and endothelial cells, thereby facilitating liver regeneration and repair after partial hepatectomy. Furthermore, the hydrogel, featuring macrophage-regulating properties, effectively mitigates inflammation and oxidative stress damage in the incision area, creating an optimal environment for postoperative liver regeneration. The injectability and strong adhesion of the hydrogel enables rapid hemostasis at the incision site, while its physical barrier function prevents postoperative abdominal adhesions. Furthermore, the hydrogel's incorporation of Cu2+ provides comprehensive antibacterial effects, protecting against a wide range of bacteria types and reducing the chances of infections after surgery.

Development of new nanofibrous nerve conduits by PCL-Chitosan-Hyaluronic acid containing Piracetam-Vitamin B12 for sciatic nerve: A rat model. Int J Pharm 2024; 655:123978. [PMID: 38458406 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2024.123978] [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: 12/28/2023] [Revised: 03/04/2024] [Accepted: 03/05/2024] [Indexed: 03/10/2024]
Abstract
Peripheral nerve injury is a critical condition that can disrupt nerve functions. Despite the progress in engineering artificial nerve guidance conduits (NGCs), nerve regeneration remains challenging. Here, we developed new nanofibrous NGCs using polycaprolactone (PCL) and chitosan (CH) containing piracetam (PIR)/vitamin B12(VITB12) with an electrospinning method. The lumen of NGCs was coated by hyaluronic acid (HA) to promote regeneration in sciatic nerve injury. The NGCs were characterized via Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), tensile, swelling, contact angle, degradation, and drug release tests. Neuronal precursor cell line (PCL12 cell) and rat mesenchymal stem cells derived from bone marrow (MSCs) were seeded on the nanofibrous conduits. After that, the biocompatibility of the NGCs was evaluated by the 2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) staining, and SEM images. The SEM demonstrated that PCL/CH/PIR/VITB12 NGCs had nonaligned, interconnected, smooth fibers. The mechanical properties of these NGCs were similar to rat sciatic nerve. These conduits had an appropriate swelling and degradation rate. The In Vitro studies exhibited favorable biocompatibility of the PCL/CH/PIR/VITB12 NGCs towards PC12 cells and MSCs. The in vitro studies exhibited favorable biocompatibility of the PCL/CH/PIR/VIT B12 NGCs towards MSCs and PC12 cells. To analyze functional efficacy, NGCs were implanted into a 10 mm Wistar rat sciatic nerve gap and bridged the proximal and distal stump of the defect. After three months, the results of sciatic functional index (55.3 ± 1.8), hot plate latency test (5.6 ± 0.5 s), gastrocnemius muscle wet weight-loss (38.57 ± 1.6 %) and histopathological examination using hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) /toluidine blue/ Anti-Neurofilament (NF200) staining demonstrated that the produced conduit recovered motor and sensory functions and had comparable nerve regeneration compared to the autograft that can be as the gold standard to bridge the nerve gaps.

Abstract
Stem cells have garnered significant attention in regenerative medicine owing to their abilities of multi-directional differentiation and self-renewal. Despite these encouraging results, the market for stem cell products yields limited, which is largely due to the challenges faced to the safety and viability of stem cells in vivo. Besides, the fate of cells re-infusion into the body unknown is also a major obstacle to stem cell therapy. Actually, both the functional protection and the fate tracking of stem cells are essential in tissue homeostasis, repair, and regeneration. Recent studies have utilized cell engineering techniques to modify stem cells for enhancing their treatment efficiency or imparting them with novel biological capabilities, in which advances demonstrate the immense potential of engineered cell therapy. In this review, we proposed that the "engineered stem cells" are expected to represent the next generation of stem cell therapies and reviewed recent progress in this area. We also discussed potential applications of engineered stem cells and highlighted the most common challenges that must be addressed. Overall, this review has important guiding significance for the future design of new paradigms of stem cell products to improve their therapeutic efficacy.

Abstract
In situ bioprinting is promising for developing scaffolds directly on defect models in operating rooms, which provides a new strategy for in situ tissue regeneration. However, due to the limitation of existing in situ biofabrication technologies including printing depth and suitable bioinks, bioprinting scaffolds in deep dermal or extremity injuries remains a grand challenge. Here, we present an in vivo scaffold fabrication approach by minimally invasive bioprinting electroactive hydrogel scaffolds to promote in situ tissue regeneration. The minimally invasive bioprinting system consists of a ferromagnetic soft catheter robot for extrusion, a digital laparoscope for in situ monitoring, and a Veress needle for establishing a pneumoperitoneum. After 3D reconstruction of the defects with computed tomography, electroactive hydrogel scaffolds are printed within partial liver resection of live rats, and in situ tissue regeneration is achieved by promoting the proliferation, migration, and differentiation of cells and maintaining liver function in vivo.

Experimental Correction and Treatment of Chronic Liver Failure Using Implantable Cell-Engineering Constructs of the Auxiliary Liver Based on a Bioactive Heterogeneous Biopolymer Hydrogel. Gels 2023; 9:456. [PMID: 37367127 DOI: 10.3390/gels9060456] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2023] [Revised: 05/18/2023] [Accepted: 05/25/2023] [Indexed: 06/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Our study sought approaches for chronic liver failure (CLF) treatment and correction via cell-engineered constructs (CECs). They are built from biopolymer-based, microstructured, and collagen-containing hydrogel (BMCG). We also strove to evaluate the functional activity of BMCG in liver regeneration. MATERIALS AND METHODS Allogeneic liver cells (namely, hepatocytes; LC) together with mesenchymal multipotent stem cells of bone marrow origin (MMSC BM; BMSCs) were adhered to our BMCG to compose implanted liver CECs. Thereafter, we investigated a model of CLF in rats receiving the implanted CECs. The CLF had been provoked by long-term exposure to carbon tetrachloride. The study comprised male Wistar rats (n = 120) randomized into 3 groups: Group 1 was a control group with the saline treatment of the hepatic parenchyma (n = 40); Group 2 received BMCG only (n = 40); and Group 3 was loaded with CECs implanted into the parenchyma of their livers (n = 40). August rats (n = 30) made up a donor population for LCs and MMSC BM to develop grafts for animals from Group 3. The study length was 90 days. RESULTS CECs were shown to affect both biochemical test values and morphological parameters in rats with CLF. CONCLUSION We found BMCG-derived CECs to be operational and active, with regenerative potential. Group 3 showed significant evidence of forced liver regeneration that tended to persist until the end of the study (day 90). The phenomenon is reflected by biochemical signs of hepatic functional recovery by day 30 after grafting (compared to Groups 1 and 2), whereas structural features of liver repair (necrosis prevention, missing formation of vacuoles, degenerating LC number decrease, and delay of hepatic fibrotic transformation). Such implantation of BMCG-derived CECs with allogeneic LCs and MMSC BM might represent a proper option to correct and treat CLF, as well as to maintain affected liver function in patients with liver grafting needed.

Abstract
Hazardous effluents from textile industries being major contributors of water pollution and impose potential adverse effects on environment. In present study, Fe3O4 embedded oxidized Sterculia gum/Gelatin hybrid matrix have been fabricated and evaluated for enrichment of methyl orange (MO) and methylene blue (MB). Newly synthesized matrix was characterized through powdered XRD, FTIR, FESEM, TEM and TGA. Integrated nanoparticles improved dye enrichment and facilitated removal of matrix from the aqueous solution under the influence of magnetic field. Influence of various reaction parameters viz.: contact time, adsorbent dose, initial dye concentration, temperature & pH of the adsorption medium on dye enrichment have been evaluated. Maximum adsorption (90 % and 88 % for MO and MB respectively) has been achieved. Langmuir, Freundlich and Tempkin adsorption isotherms have been evaluated. Experimental results validate well fitted Freundlich isotherm for MO and Temkin isotherm for MB. Adsorption kinetics has been analyzed through Pseudo first order, second order kinetic and intra particle diffusion models. Adsorption of both dyes was best explained via pseudo second order kinetic model. Negative value of Gibb's free energy change (-26.487 KJ mol -1 and - 24.262 KJ mol -1) for MB and MO at 303 K was an indication of spontaneity of the reaction.

Abstract
Classical homocystinuria is a hereditary defect of the enzyme cystathionine beta synthase, which is produced in the liver. If this enzyme fails, the synthesis pathway of cysteine from methionine is interrupted, leading to the accumulation of homocysteine in the blood plasma and homocysteine in the urine. After birth, the children are unremarkable except for the characteristic laboratory findings. Symptoms rarely appear before the second year of life. The most common symptom is a prolapse of the crystalline lens. This finding is seen in 70% of untreated 10-year-old affected individuals. As the earliest symptom, psychomotor retardation occurs in the majority of patients already during the first two years of life. Limiting factors in terms of life expectancy are thromboembolism, peripheral arterial disease, myocardial infarction, and stroke. These symptoms are due to the damage to the vessels caused by the elevated amino acid levels. About 30% suffer a thromboembolic event by the age of 20, about half by the age of 30. This review focus on present and new therapeutical approaches like the role of enzyme replacement with presentation of different novel targets in research like pegtibatinase, pegtarviliase, CDX-6512, erymethionase, chaperones, proteasome inhibitors and probiotic treatment with SYNB 1353. Furthermore, we analyze the role of liver-directed therapy with three dimensional (3D) bioprinting, liver bioengineering of liver organoids in vitro and liver transplantation. The role of different gene therapy options to treat and cure this extremely rare disease in childhood will be discussed.

Abstract
Liver disorders are one of the most common pathological problems worldwide. It affects more than 1.5 billion worldwide. Many types of hepatic cells have been reported to be involved in the initiation and propagation of both acute and chronic liver diseases, including hepatocytes, Kupffer cells, sinusoidal endothelial cells, and hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). In addition, oxidative stress, cytokines, fibrogenic factors, microRNAs, and autophagy are also involved. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of liver diseases leads to discovering new therapeutic interventions that can be used in clinics. Recently, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-HSCs therapy, gene therapy, cell therapy, gut microbiota, and nanoparticles have great potential for preventing and treating liver diseases. Here, we explored the recent possible molecular mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of acute and chronic liver diseases. Besides, we overviewed the recent therapeutic interventions that targeted liver diseases and summarized the recent studies concerning liver disorders therapy.

Abstract
Bone tissue engineering is a field to manufacture scaffolds for bone defects that cannot repair without medical interventions. Ceramic nanoparticles such as bredigite have importance roles in bone regeneration. We synthesized a novel strontium (Sr) doped bredigite (Bre) nanoparticles (BreSr) and then developed new nanocomposite scaffolds using polycaprolactone (PCL), poly lactic acid (PLA) by the 3D-printing technique. Novel functional nanoparticles were synthesized and characterized using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS: map). The nanoparticles were uniformly distributed in the polymer matrix composites. The 3D- printed scaffolds were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), attenuated total reflection-fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR), degradation rate porosity, mechanical tests, apatite formation and cell culture. Degradation rate and mechanical strength were increased in the PLA/PCL/Bre-5%Sr nanocopmposite scaffolds.. Hydroxyapatite crystals were also created on the scaffold surface in the bioactivity test. The scaffolds supported viability and proliferation of human osteoblasts. Gene expression and calcium deposition in the samples containing nanoparticles indicated statistical different than the scaffolds without nanoparticles. The nanocomposite scaffolds were implanted into the critical-sized calvarial defects in rat for 3 months. The scaffolds containing Bre-Sr ceramic nanoparticles exhibited the best potential to regenerate bone tissue.

Abstract
The lack of vascularization in the white-red and white zone of the meniscus causes these zones of tissue to have low self-healing capacity in case of injury and accelerate osteoarthritis (OA). In this study, we have developed hybrid constructs using polycaprolactone (PCL) and decellularized meniscus extracellular matrix (DMECM) surface modified by gelatin (G), hyaluronic acid (HU) and selenium (Se) nanoparticles (PCL/DMECM/G/HU/Se), following by the cross-linking of the bio-polymeric surface. Material characterization has been performed on the fabricated scaffold using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transforms infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, swelling and degradation analyses, and mechanical tests. In Vitro, investigations have been conducted by C28/I2 human chondrocyte culture into the scaffold and evaluated the cytotoxicity and cell/scaffold interaction. For the in vivo study, the scaffolds were transplanted into the defect sites of female New Zealand white rabbits. Good regeneration was observed after two months. We have concluded that the designed PCL/DMECM/G/HU construct can be a promising candidate as a meniscus tissue engineering scaffold to facilitate healing.

Abstract
Annually chronic liver diseases cause two million death worldwide. Although liver transplantation (LT) is still considered the best therapeutic option, the limited number of donated livers and lifelong side effects of LT has led researchers to seek alternative therapies. Tissue engineering (TE) as a promising method is considered for liver repair and regeneration. TE uses natural or synthetic scaffolds, functional somatic cells, multipotent stem cells, and growth factors to develop new organs. Biological scaffolds are notable in TE because of their capacity to mimic extracellular matrices, biodegradability, and biocompatibility. Moreover, natural scaffolds are classified based on their source and function in three separate groups. Hemostat-based scaffolds as the first group were reviewed for their application in coagulation in liver injury or surgery. Furthermore, recent studies showed improvement in the function of biological hydrogels in liver regeneration and vascularity. In addition, different applications of natural scaffolds were discussed and compared with synthetic scaffolds. Finally, we focused on the efforts to improve the performance of decellularized extracellular matrixes for liver implantation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Meniscus injuries in the inner avascular zone have weak intrinsic self-healing capacity and often progress to osteoarthritis. This study focused on evaluating the effects of polycaprolactone/silk fibroin/gelatin/ascorbic acid (PCL/SF/Gel/AA) composite scaffolds seeded with adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs), in the meniscus repair. DESIGN To this end, composite scaffolds were cross-linked using N-hydroxysuccinimide and 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethyl-aminopropyl)-1-carbodiimide hydrochloride. Scaffolds were then characterized by scanning electron microscope, mechanical tests, total antioxidant capacity, swelling, and toxicity tests. RESULTS The PCL/SF/Gel/AA scaffolds exhibited suitable mechanical properties. Furthermore, vitamin C rendered them the highest antioxidant capacity. The PCL/SF/Gel/AA scaffolds also showed good biocompatibility and proliferation for chondrocytes. Moreover, the PCL/SF/Gel/AA scaffold seeded with allogeneic ASCs was engrafted in New Zealand rabbits who underwent unilateral punch defect in the medial meniscus of the right knee. After 2 months postimplantation, macroscopic and histologic studies for new meniscus cartilage were performed. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicated that the PCL/SF/Gel/AA composite scaffolds seeded with allogeneic ASCs could successfully improve meniscus healing in damaged rabbits.
