Moghtader F, Tabata Y, Karaöz E. Biohybrids for Combined Therapies of Skin Wounds: Agglomerates of Mesenchymal Stem Cells with Gelatin Hydrogel Beads Delivering Phages and Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor. Gels 2024; 10:493.

Abstract
There is great interest in developing effective therapies for the treatment of skin wounds accompanied by deep tissue losses and severe infections. We have attempted to prepare biohybrids formed of agglomerates of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) with gelatin hydrogel beads (GEL beads) delivering bacteriophages (phages) as antibacterial agents and/or basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) for faster and better healing, providing combined therapies for these types of skin wounds. The gelatin beads were produced through a two-step process using basic and/or acidic gelatins with different isoelectric points. Escherichia coli (E. coli) and its specific T4 phages were propagated. Phages and/or bFGF were loaded within the GELs and their release rates and modes were obtained. The phage release from the basic GEL beads was quite fast; in contrast, the bFGF release from the acidic GEL beads was sustained, as anticipated. MSCs were isolated from mouse adipose tissues and 2D-cultured. Agglomerates of these MSCs with GEL beads were formed and maturated in 3D cultures, and their time-dependent changes were followed. In these 3D culture experiments, it was observed that the agglomerates with GEL beads were very healthy and the MSCs formed tissue-like structures in 7 days, while the MSC agglomerates were not healthy and shrunk considerably as a result of cell death.

Abstract
Technologies for efficiently expanding Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, the primary host cells for antibody production, are of growing industrial importance. Various processes for the use of microcarriers in CHO suspension cultures have been developed, but there have been very few studies on cell-adhesive microcarriers that are similar in size to cells. In this study, we proposed a new approach to suspension cultures of CHO cells using cell-sized condensed and crosslinked gelatin microparticles (GMPs) as carriers. Unlike commercially available carriers with sizes typically greater than 100 μm, each cell can adhere to the surface of multiple particles and form loose clusters with voids. We prepared GMPs of different average diameters (27 and 48 μm) and investigated their effects on cell adhesion and cluster formation. In particular, small GMPs promoted cell proliferation and increased IgG4 production by the antibody-producing CHO cell line. The data obtained in this study suggest that cell-sized particles, rather than larger ones, enhance cell proliferation and function, providing useful insights for improving suspension-culture-based cell expansion and cell-based biologics production for a wide range of applications.

Abstract
In recent years, extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as promising biomarkers, cell-free therapeutic agents, and drug delivery carriers. Despite their great clinical potential, poor yield and unscalable production of EVs remain significant challenges. When using 3D culture methods, such as scaffolds and bioreactors, large numbers of cells can be expanded and the cell environment can be manipulated to control the cell phenotype. This has been employed to successfully increase the production of EVs as well as to enhance their therapeutic effects. The physiological relevance of 3D cultures, such as spheroids, has also provided a strategy for understanding the role of EVs in the pathogenesis of several diseases and to evaluate their role as tools to deliver drugs. Additionally, 3D culture methods can encapsulate EVs to achieve more sustained therapeutic effects as well as prevent premature clearance of EVs to enable more localised delivery and concentrated exosome dosage. This review highlights the opportunities and drawbacks of different 3D culture methods and their use in EV research.

Abstract
IMPACT STATEMENT This study introduces the utility of gelatin hydrogel nonwoven fabrics (GHNFs) for cell sheet engineering. The GHNF had the mechanical property strong enough to hold by forceps even in the swollen condition. The cell sheet harvest and transfer processes were performed simpler and faster than those without using the GHNF. The GHNF facilitates the metabolic activity of three-layered cell sheets, and the cell migration from cell sheets into the GHNF was observed. The GHNF is a promising material used to support cell sheets during the process of assemble formulation and contributes to the improved biological functions of tissue-like cell constructs.

Abstract
With recent advances in biotechnology, mammalian cells are used in biopharmaceutical industries to produce valuable protein therapeutics and investigated as effective therapeutic agents to permanently degenerative diseases in cell based therapy. In these exciting and actively expanding fields, a reliable, efficient, and affordable platform to culture mammalian cells on a large scale is one of the most vital necessities. To produce and maintain a very large population of anchorage-dependent cells, a microcarrier-based stirred tank bioreactor is commonly used. In this approach, the cells are exposed to harmful hydrodynamic shear stress in the bioreactor and the mass transfer rates of nutrients and gases in the bioreactor are often kept below an optimal level to prevent cellular damages from the shear stress. In this paper, a hollow microcarrier (HMC) is presented as a novel solution to protect cells from shear stress in stirred bioreactors, while ensuring sufficient and uniform mass transfer rate of gases and nutrients. HMC is a hollow microsphere and cells are cultured on its inner surface to be protected, while openings on the HMC provide sufficient exchange of media inside the HMC. As a proof of concept, we demonstrated the expansion of fibroblasts, NIH/3T3 and the expansion and cardiac differentiation of human induced pluripotent stem cells, along with detailed numerical analysis. We believe that the developed HMC can be a practical solution to enable large-scale expansion of shear-sensitive anchorage-dependent cells in an industrial scale with stirred bioreactors.

Abstract
The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of matrigel microspheres (MM), gelatin hydrogel microspheres (GM), and matrigel-coated GM on the proliferated and biological functions of epithelial cells in cell aggregates incorporating the microspheres. The MM were prepared by a coacelvation method. When mammary epithelial EpH4 cells were cultured with the MM, GM, and matrigel-coated GM in round U-bottom wells of 96-multiwell culture plates which had been coated with poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) to suppress the cell adhesion, EpH4 cell aggregates with each microspheres homogeneously incorporated were formed. Higher EpH4 cells proliferation was observed for cell aggregates incorporating MM, GM, and matrigel-coated GM compared with the conventional 3-dimensional (3D) culture method. When examined to evaluate the epithelial differentiation of EpH4 cells, the β-casein expression was significantly higher for the cell aggregates incorporating MM than that of aggregates incorporating GM and matrigel-coated GM or the conventional 3D culture method. It is concluded that the proliferation and differentiation of mammary epithelial EpH4 cells were promoted by the incorporation of MM.

Abstract
The objective of this study is to prepare three dimensional (3D) of mouse mammary epithelial EpH4 and mouse preadipocyte 3T3L1 cells in the presence of gelatin hydrogel microspheres (GM) and evaluate the effect of GM presence on the survival and functions of cells in the 3D cell aggregates. Gelatin was dehydrothermally crosslinked at 140 °C for 48 h in a water-in-oil emulsion state to obtain the GM with average diameters of 50 and 200 μm, followed by treatment with fibronectin (FN). EpH4 and/or 3T3L1 cells were cultured with or without the FN-treated GM in round U-bottom wells of 96-multiwell culture plates which had been coated with poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) to allow the cells to form their aggregates. On the other hand, EpH4 cells were precultured with the FN-treated GM, and then continued to culture with 3T3L1 cells in the same condition described above. The EpH4 cells attached onto the GM in the cell number dependent manner, irrespective of their size. When 3T3L1 cells were incubated with the original and GM-preincubated EpH4 cells in the presence of both the FN-treated GM, the number of alive cells in the aggregates was significantly high compared with that for the absence of FN-treated GM. In addition, higher β-casein expression level of EpH4 cells in EpH4/3T3L1 cells aggregates in the presence of FN-treated GM was observed than that of cells in the absence of FN-treated GM. Laminin secretion was also promoted for the cells aggregates cultured with FN-treated GM. It is concluded that the presence of FN-treated GM in the EpH4/3T3L1 cells aggregates gave a better condition to cells, resulting in an enhanced generation of β-casein from EpH4 cells in the aggregates.

Abstract
Minimally invasive delivery of "living cell factories" consisting of cells and therapeutic agents has gained wide attention for next generation biomaterial device systems for multiple applications including musculoskeletal tissue regeneration, diabetes and cancer. Cellular-based microcapsules and microcarrier systems offer several attractive features for this particular purpose. One such technology capable of generating these types of systems is electrohydrodynamic (EHD) spraying. Depending on various parameters, including applied voltage, biomaterial properties (viscosity, conductivity) and needle geometry, complex structures and arrangements can be fabricated for therapeutic strategies. The advances in the use of EHD technology are outlined, specifically in the manipulation of bioactive and dynamic material systems to control size, composition and configuration in the development of minimally invasive micro-scaled biopolymeric systems. The exciting therapeutic applications of this technology, future perspectives and associated challenges are also presented.

Active and peripheral anionic sites of acetylcholinesterase have differential modulation effects on cell proliferation, adhesion and neuritogenesis in the NG108-15 cell line. Toxicol Lett 2014; 230:122-31.

Abstract
The classical enzymatic role of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is to terminate impulse transmission at cholinergic synapses through rapid hydrolysis of acetylcholine (ACh). Inactivation of this enzyme's catalytic site is the primary mechanism of acute toxicity of OP insecticides (e.g. parathion, chlorpyrifos). There is now sufficient evidence to suggest that AChE has a neurotrophic function that may be altered by organophosphate (OP) exposure, resulting in defects of neuronal growth and development, though the clarification of the mechanisms involved require further in vitro investigation. In the present study, the mouse neuroblastoma×rat glioma hybrid NG108-15 cell line was used to investigate the differential effects between inhibition of the catalytic site and peripheral anionic site (PAS) of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) on cell adhesion, proliferation and neuritogenesis, in the presence and absence of human red blood cell (hRBC) AChE (ED3.1.1.7). AChE active-site inhibitor paraoxon (PO; 0.1-1.0μM), when added to NG108-15 cells grown on AChE-coated plates, had no effect on cell proliferation, but exerted a significant reduction in strongly adherent viable cells accompanied by mostly short process formations, with 18% of cells considered to be neuritogenic, similar to that observed on uncoated plates. In contrast, PO had no significant effect on cell adhesion and proliferation of NG108-15 cells on uncoated plates. The PAS-ligand thioflavin-T (Th-T; 0.5-25μM), however, decreased cell adhesion and proliferation, on both uncoated and ACh-E coated plates, with less magnitude on AChE-coated plates. Taken together, these results suggest that strong cell adherence and neuritogenesis are sensitive to PO in this cell culture model, with no impact on proliferation, in the presence of membrane bound AChE-coating, while there is no sensitivity to PO on uncoated plates. On the other hand, binding of Th-T directly to the PAS affects both cell adherence and proliferation, with less magnitude in the presence of membrane-bound AChE. The current study indicates that PO is deleterious in neural development during critical periods of strong cell adhesion and differentiation, interfering with AChE trophic function.

Abstract
Microcarriers provide large adhesion area allowing high cell densities in bioreactor systems. This study focused on the investigation of cell adhesion and cell growth characteristics of both anchorage-dependent CHO-K1 and anchorage-independent Ag8 myeloma cell lines cultivated on four different microcarriers (Biosilon®, Microhex®, Cytodex 3®, Cytoline 2®) by considering the cell kinetics and physiological data. Experiments were performed in both static and agitated cell culture systems by using 24-well tissue culture plates and then 50-ml spinner flasks. In agitated cultures, the highest specific growth rates (0.026 h for CHO-K1 and 0.061 h for Ag8 cell line) were obtained with Cytodex 3® and Cytoline 2® microcarriers for CHO-K1 and Ag8 cell line, respectively. Metabolic characteristics showed some variation among the cultures with the four microcarriers. The most significant being the higher production of lactate with microcarriers with CHO-K1 cells relative to the Ag8 cells. SEM analyses revealed the differences in the morphology of the cells along with microcarriers. On Cytodex 3® and Cytoline 2®, CHO-K1 cells attached to the substratum through long, slender filopodia, whereas the cells showed a flat morphology by covering the substratum on the Biosilon® and Microhex®. Ag8 cells maintained their spherical shapes throughout the culture for all types of microcarriers. In an attempt to scale-up, productions were carried out in 50-ml spinner flasks. Cytodex 3® (for CHO-K1 cells) and Cytoline 2® (for Ag8 cells) were evaluated. The results demonstrate that high yield of biomass could be achieved through the immobilization of the cells in each culture system. And cell cultures on microcarriers, especially on Cytodex 3® and Cytoline 2®, represented a good potential as microcarriers for larger scale cultures of CHO-K1 and Ag8, respectively. Moreover, owing to the fact that the cell lines and culture media are specific, outcomes will be applicable for other clones derived from the same host cell lines.

Abstract
Brushite-forming calcium phosphate cements are of great interest as bone replacement materials because they are resorbable in physiological conditions. Cell-attached culture beads formed from this material could be of great use for cell therapy. Despite a significant amount of work on optimizing the physicochemical properties of these materials, there are very few studies that have evaluated the capacity of the materials to facilitate cell adhesion. In this study, we have formed resorbable calcium phosphate (brushite) culture beads and for the first time we showed that cell attachment to the surface of the brushite cement (BC) could be inhibited by the presence of an intermediate dicalcium phosphate-citrate complex, formed in the cement as a result of using citric acid, a retardant and viscosity modifier used in many cement formulations. The BC beads formed from the mixture of β-TCP/orthophosphoric acid using citric acid did not allow cell attachment without further treatment. Ageing of BC beads in serum-free Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium (DMEM) solution at 37°C for 1 week greatly enhanced the cell adhesion capacity of the material. Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and confocal Raman microspectrometry indicated the increased capacity for cell adhesion was due to the changes in phase composition of BC. XRD patterns collected before and after ageing in aqueous solution and a high initial mass loss, suggest the formation of a dicalcium phosphate-citrate complex within the matrix. Since compacts formed from brushite powder supported cell attachment, it was hypothesized that the dicalcium phosphate-citrate complex prevented attachment to the cement surface.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the viability and biological functions of cells in their aggregates incorporating gelatin microspheres with different degradabilities. After being prepared by a water-in-oil emulsion procedure, the gelatin microspheres were dehydrothermally crosslinked at 140°C for various time periods. In vitro degradation tests showed that the gelatin microspheres were slowly degraded slowly with an increase in the crosslinking time. When MC3T3-E1 cells were cultured with the gelatin hydrogel microspheres in the round U-bottom wells of 96-well microplates which had been coated with poly(vinyl alcohol), cell aggregates with homogeneously distributed gelatin microspheres were formed. A large amount of slowly degraded gelatin microspheres remained in the cell aggregates for long time periods, while a higher proliferation of MC3T3-E1 cells was observed. When evaluated as a measure of aerobic glycolysis, the ratio of l-lactic acid production:glucose consumption of MC3T3-E1 cells was lower for MC3T3-E1 cells in the cell aggregates incorporating slowly degraded gelatin microspheres than for aggregates incorporating rapidly degraded ones. The alkaline phosphatase activity and calcium content of MC3T3-E1 cells were higher for cell aggregates incorporating slowly degraded gelatin microspheres. It is possible that the incorporation of gelatin hydrogel microspheres with slow degradability enabled the permeation of oxygen and nutrients into the cell aggregates for longer time periods, resulting in better culture conditions for the survival, proliferation and differentiation of the cells.

Abstract
The objective of this study is to improve the viability and osteogenic differentiation of cultured rat bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) by the use of gelatin hydrogel microspheres. Gelatin was dehydrothermally crosslinked at 140° C for 48 h in a water in oil emulsion state. When cultured with the gelatin hydrogel microspheres in round, U-bottomed wells of 96-well plates coated with poly(vinyl alcohol) MSC formed aggregates homogeneously incorporating the microspheres. The viability of the cell aggregates was significantly higher compared with that of aggregates formed without microspheres. MSC proliferation in the aggregates depended on the number and diameter of the incorporated microspheres. Higher MSC proliferation was observed for aggregates incorporating a greater number of larger gelatin microspheres. When evaluated as a measure of aerobic glycolysis the ratio of l-lactic acid production/glucose consumption in MSC was significantly lower for MSC cultured with gelatin microspheres than those without microspheres. MSC production of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and sulfated glycosaminaglycan (sGAG) was examined to evaluate their potential osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation. The amount of ALP produced was significantly higher for MSC aggregates cultured with gelatin microspheres than that of MSC cultured without microspheres. On the other hand, the amount of sGAG produced was significantly lower for MSC aggregates containing microspheres. It is concluded that the incorporation of gelatin hydrogel microspheres prevents the aggregated MSC suffering from a lack of oxygen, resulting in enhanced MSC aggregation and cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation.

Abstract
Background Tetrahymena thermophila possesses many attributes that render it an attractive host for the expression of recombinant proteins. Surface proteins from the parasites Ichthyophthirius multifiliis and Plasmodium falciparum and avian influenza virus antigen H5N1 were displayed on the cell membrane of this ciliate. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that T. thermophila is also able to produce a functional human DNase I. The present study investigates the heterologous expression of the functional human intestinal alkaline phosphatase (hiAP) using T. thermophila and thereby presents a powerful tool for the optimization of the ciliate-based expression system. Results Functional and full length human intestinal alkaline phosphatase was expressed by T. thermophila using a codon-adapted gene containing the native signal-peptide and GPI (Glycosylphosphatidylinositol) anchor attachment signal. HiAP activity in the cell extract of transformants suggested that the hiAP gene was successfully expressed. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that the enzyme was modified with N-glycosylation and localized on the surface membrane by the C-terminal GPI anchor. A C-terminally truncated version of hiAP lacking the GPI anchor signal peptide was secreted into the medium as an active enzyme. In a first approach to establish a high level expression system up to 14,000 U/liter were produced in a time frame of two days, which exceeds the production rate of other published expression systems for this enzyme. Conclusions With the expression of hiAP, not only a protein of commercial interest could be produced, but also a reporter enzyme that offers the possibility to analyze T. thermophila genes that play a role in the regulation of protein secretion. Additionally, the fact that ciliates do not secrete an endogenous alkaline phosphatase provides the possibility to use the truncated hiAP as a reporter enzyme, allowing the quantification of measures that will be necessary for further optimization of the host strains and the fermentation processes.

Abstract
A Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell line, producing recombinant secreted human placental alkaline phosphatase (SEAP) was investigated under three different culture conditions (suspension cells, cells attached to Cytodex 3 and Cytopore 1 microcarriers) in a biphasic culture mode using a temperature shift to mild hypothermic conditions (33 degrees C) in a fed-batch bioreactor. The cell viability in both the suspension and the Cytodex 3 cultures was maintained for significantly longer periods under hypothermic conditions than in the single-temperature cultures, leading to higher integrated viable cell densities. For all culture conditions, the specific productivity of SEAP increased after the temperature reduction; the specific productivities of the microcarrier cultures increased approximately threefold while the specific productivity of the suspension culture increased nearly eightfold. The glucose and glutamine consumption rates and lactate and ammonia production rates were significantly lowered after the temperature reduction, as were the yields of lactate from glucose. However, the yield of ammonia from glutamine increased in response to the temperature shift.

Abstract
The effects of different culture conditions, suspension and microcarrier culture and temperature reduction on the structures of N-linked glycans attached to secreted human placental alkaline phosphatase (SEAP) were investigated for CHO cells grown in a controlled bioreactor. Both mass spectrometry and anion-exchange chromatography were used to probe the N-linked glycan structures and distribution. Complex-type glycans were the dominant structures with small amounts of high mannose glycans observed in suspension and reduced temperature cultures. Biantennary glycans were the most common structures detected by mass spectrometry, but triantennary and tetraantennary forms were also detected. The amount of sialic acid present was relatively low, approximately 0.4 mol sialic acid/mol SEAP for suspension cultures. Microcarrier cultures exhibited a decrease in productivity compared with suspension culture due to a decrease in both maximum viable cell density (15-20%) and specific productivity (30-50%). In contrast, a biphasic suspension culture in which the temperature was reduced at the beginning of the stationary phase from 37 to 33 degrees C, showed a 7% increase in maximum viable cell density, a 62% increase in integrated viable cell density, and a 133% increase in specific productivity, leading to greater than threefold increase in total productivity. Both microcarrier and reduced temperature cultures showed increased sialylation and decreased fucosylation when compared to suspension culture. Our results highlight the importance of glycoform analysis after process modification as even subtle changes (e.g., changing from one microcarrier to another) may affect glycan distributions.
