Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 262:130094. [PMID: 38350583 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.130094] [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: 12/01/2023] [Revised: 01/31/2024] [Accepted: 02/08/2024] [Indexed: 02/15/2024]
Abstract
This study used a unique approach by developing a bilayer system that can simultaneously accomplish non-adhesion, hemostatic, and tissue regenerative properties. In this system, agarose was used as a carrier material, with an agarose-TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofiber (TOCN), (AT) layer acting as a non-adhesion layer and an Agarose-Extracellular matrix, (AE) layer acting as a tissue regenerative layer. Thrombin was loaded on the AE layer as an initiator of the healing process, by hemostasis. AT 1:4 showed 79.3 % and AE 1:4 showed 84.66 % cell viability initially confirming the biocompatible nature of the layers. The AE layer showed cell attachment and proliferation on its surface whereas on the AT layer, cells are visible but no attachment was observed. Furthermore, in vivo analysis was conducted. The non-adhesive layer was grafted between the cecum and peritoneal wall which showed that (AT 1:4) displayed remarkable non-adhesion properties as compared to a commercial product and the non-treated group. Hemostasis and tissue regeneration ability were evaluated using rat liver models. The bleeding time of AE 1:4TH was recorded as 160 s and the blood loss was 5.6 g. The results showed that (AE 1:4) displayed effective regeneration ability in the liver model after two weeks.

Polysaccharides and Structural Proteins as Components in Three-Dimensional Scaffolds for Breast Cancer Tissue Models: A Review. Bioengineering (Basel) 2023; 10:682. [PMID: 37370613 DOI: 10.3390/bioengineering10060682] [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: 05/11/2023] [Revised: 05/26/2023] [Accepted: 05/30/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women, and even though treatments are available, efficiency varies with the patients. In vitro 2D models are commonly used to develop new treatments. However, 2D models overestimate drug efficiency, which increases the failure rate in later phase III clinical trials. New model systems that allow extensive and efficient drug screening are thus required. Three-dimensional printed hydrogels containing active components for cancer cell growth are interesting candidates for the preparation of next generation cancer cell models. Macromolecules, obtained from marine- and land-based resources, can form biopolymers (polysaccharides such as alginate, chitosan, hyaluronic acid, and cellulose) and bioactive components (structural proteins such as collagen, gelatin, and silk fibroin) in hydrogels with adequate physical properties in terms of porosity, rheology, and mechanical strength. Hence, in this study attention is given to biofabrication methods and to the modification with biological macromolecules to become bioactive and, thus, optimize 3D printed structures that better mimic the cancer cell microenvironment. Ink formulations combining polysaccharides for tuning the mechanical properties and bioactive polymers for controlling cell adhesion is key to optimizing the growth of the cancer cells.

Abstract
Riboflavin (RF), which is also known as vitamin B2, is a water-soluble vitamin. RF is a nontoxic and biocompatible natural substance. It absorbs light (at wavelengths of 380 and 450 nm) in the presence of oxygen to form reactive singlet oxygen (1O2). The generated singlet oxygen acts as a photoinitiator to induce the oxidation of biomolecules, such as amino acids, proteins, and nucleotides, or to initiate chemical reactions, such as the thiol-ene reaction and crosslinking of tyramine and furfuryl groups. In this review, we focus on the chemical mechanism and utilization of the photochemistry of RF, such as protein crosslinking and hydrogel formation. Currently, the crosslinking method using RF as a photoinitiator is actively employed in ophthalmic clinics. However, a significant broadening is expected in its range of applications, such as in tissue engineering and drug delivery.

Controlled Release of Epidermal Growth Factor from Furfuryl-Gelatin Hydrogel Using in Situ Visible Light-Induced Crosslinking and Its Effects on Fibroblasts Proliferation and Migration. Gels 2022; 8:gels8040214. [PMID: 35448115 PMCID: PMC9032874 DOI: 10.3390/gels8040214] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2022] [Revised: 03/25/2022] [Accepted: 03/28/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Hydrogels are widely used in tissue engineering as materials that regulate cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation. They also act as promising biomaterials that can provide a variety of stimuli by influencing the surrounding microenvironment, which can be achieved by modulating their mechanical properties, thereby aiding soluble factor delivery. Here, we developed a gelatin-based injectable hydrogel that has controllable mechanical properties and demonstrates sustained drug release without the need for invasive surgery. Gelatin was modified with furfuryl groups, and riboflavin phosphate was used as a photoinitiator to crosslink the hydrogel using visible light. A hydrogel–with a storage modulus in the range of 0.2–15 kPa was formed by maintaining the concentration of furfuryl-gelatin within 10–30% w/v. Consequently, their mechanical properties can be tailored for their applications. The furfuryl-gelatin hydrogel was loaded with maleimide-modified epidermal growth factor (EGF) as a model drug to achieve a controlled-release system. The sustained release of maleimide-EGF due to gelatin hydrogel matrix degradation was observed. Cell proliferation and scratch assays were performed to verify its effect on fibroblasts. When EGF was physically entrapped in the hydrogel matrix, the released EGF considerably affected cell proliferation and scratch closure of fibroblasts at the beginning of the culture. By contrast, maleimide-EGF was released sustainably and steadily and affected cell proliferation and scratch closure after the initial stage. We demonstrated that the release of soluble factors could be controlled by modulating the mechanical properties. Thus, the injectable hydrogel formed by in situ visible light-induced crosslinking could be a promising biomaterial for tissue engineering and biomedical therapeutics.

Abstract
Peritoneal adhesion is one of the most common postsurgical complications and can cause bowel obstruction, pelvic pain, and infertility. Setting up a physical barrier directly between the injured site and surrounding tissues is an effective solution for preventing this adverse situation. This study investigated a chitosan electrospun membrane (CSEM) as a potent anti-adhesion barrier, which was prepared by a needleless technology called Nanospider. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that CSEM is a laminated nanofiber with good mechanical properties. The fiber is uniform with the diameter distributing in the range of 100-120 nm. The tensile strength can reach 27.45 ± 6.30 MPa with a maximum elongation at break of 18.50 ± 1.44%, which makes it stick easily to damaged parts but not to be easily damaged by tissue friction. The growth of S. aureus on CSEM was 59.18% lower than the control at 10 h, which indicates its better antibacterial property. In addition, CSEM has good coagulant and biocompatibility characteristics. It can perform hemostatic function within 10 min and the L929 mouse fibroblast viability on it was 92.18% ± 1.08% on the seventh day. In vivo experiments indicated that CSEM significantly prevented peritoneal adhesions within four weeks after surgery with wound surface coverage. These results indicate that CSEM is a promising anti-adhesion barrier material.

Abstract
Photopolymerization is an effective method to covalently cross-link polymer chains that can be shaped into several biomedical products and devices. Additionally, polymerization reaction may induce a fluid-solid phase transformation under physiological conditions and is ideal for in vivo cross-linking of injectable polymers. The photoinitiator is a key ingredient able to absorb the energy at a specific light wavelength and create radicals that convert the liquid monomer solution into polymers. The combination of photopolymerizable polymers, containing appropriate photoinitiators, and effective curing based on dedicated light sources offers the possibility to implement photopolymerization technology in 3D bioprinting systems. Hence, cell-laden structures with high cell viability and proliferation, high accuracy in production, and good control of scaffold geometry can be biofabricated. In this review, we provide an overview of photopolymerization technology, focusing our efforts on natural polymers, the chemistry involved, and their combination with appropriate photoinitiators to be used within 3D bioprinting and manufacturing of biomedical devices. The reviewed articles showed the impact of different factors that influence the success of the photopolymerization process and the final properties of the cross-linked materials.

Abstract
Postoperative peritoneal adhesion (PPA) is a prevalent incidence that generally happens during the healing process of traumatized tissues. It causes multiple severe complications such as intestinal obstruction, chronic abdominal pain, and female infertility. To prevent PPA, several antiadhesion materials and drug delivery systems composed of biomaterials are used clinically, and clinical antiadhesive is one of the important applications nowadays. In addition to several commercially available materials, like film, spray, injectable hydrogel, powder, or solution type have been energetically studied based on natural and synthetic biomaterials such as alginate, hyaluronan, cellulose, starch, chondroitin sulfate, polyethylene glycol, polylactic acid, etc. Moreover, many kinds of animal adhesion models, such as cecum abrasion models and unitary horn models, are developed to evaluate new materials' efficacy. A new animal adhesion model based on hepatectomy and conventional animal adhesion models is recently developed and a new adhesion barrier by this new model is also developed. In summary, many kinds of materials and animal models are studied; thus, it is quite important to overview this field's current progress. Here, PPA is reviewed in terms of the species of biomaterials and animal models and several problems to be solved to develop better antiadhesion materials in the future are discussed.
