Zhang X, Zhao G, Ma T, Simmons CA, Santerre JP. A critical review on advances and challenges of bioprinted cardiac patches. Acta Biomater 2024:S1742-7061(24)00583-X. [PMID: 39374681 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2024.09.056] [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: 06/14/2024] [Revised: 09/10/2024] [Accepted: 09/30/2024] [Indexed: 10/09/2024]
Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI), which causes irreversible myocardium necrosis, affects 0.25 billion people globally and has become one of the most significant epidemics of our time. Over the past few years, bioprinting has moved beyond a concept of simply incorporating cells into biomaterials, to strategically defining the microenvironment (e.g., architecture, biomolecular signalling, mechanical stimuli, etc.) within which the cells are printed. Among the different bioprinting applications, myocardial repair is a field that has seen some of the most significant advances towards the management of the repaired tissue microenvironment. This review critically assesses the most recent biomedical innovations being carried out in cardiac patch bioprinting, with specific considerations given to the biomaterial design parameters, growth factors/cytokines, biomechanical and bioelectrical conditioning, as well as innovative biomaterial-based "4D" bioprinting (3D scaffold structure + temporal morphology changes) of myocardial tissues, immunomodulation and sustained delivery systems used in myocardium bioprinting. Key challenges include the ability to generate large quantities of cardiac cells, achieve high-density capillary networks, establish biomaterial designs that are comparable to native cardiac extracellular matrix, and manage the sophisticated systems needed for combining cardiac tissue microenvironmental cues while simultaneously establishing bioprinting technologies yielding both high-speed and precision. This must be achieved while considering quality assurance towards enabling reproducibility and clinical translation. Moreover, this manuscript thoroughly discussed the current clinical translational hurdles and regulatory issues associated with the post-bioprinting evaluation, storage, delivery and implantation of the bioprinted myocardial patches. Overall, this paper provides insights into how the clinical feasibility and important regulatory concerns may influence the design of the bioink (biomaterials, cell sources), fabrication and post-fabrication processes associated with bioprinting of the cardiac patches. This paper emphasizes that cardiac patch bioprinting requires extensive collaborations from imaging and 3D modelling technical experts, biomaterial scientists, additive manufacturing experts and healthcare professionals. Further, the work can also guide the field of cardiac patch bioprinting moving forward, by shedding light on the potential use of robotics and automation to increase productivity, reduce financial cost, and enable standardization and true commercialization of bioprinted cardiac patches. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The manuscript provides a critical review of important themes currently pursued for heart patch bioprinting, including critical biomaterial design parameters, physiologically-relevant cardiac tissue stimulations, and newly emerging cardiac tissue bioprinting strategies. This review describes the limited number of studies, to date in the literature, that describe systemic approaches to combine multiple design parameters, including capabilities to yield high-density capillary networks, establish biomaterial composite designs similar to native cardiac extracellular matrix, and incorporate cardiac tissue microenvironmental cues, while simultaneously establishing bioprinting technologies that yield high-speed and precision. New tools such as artificial intelligence may provide the analytical power to consider multiple design parameters and identify an optimized work-flow(s) for enabling the clinical translation of bioprinted cardiac patches.

Abstract
Recreating the natural heart's mechanical and electrical environment is crucial for engineering functional cardiac tissue and repairing infarcted myocardium in vivo. In this study, multimaterial-printed serpentine microarchitectures are presented with synergistic mechanical/piezoelectric stimulation, incorporating polycaprolactone (PCL) microfibers for mechanical support, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) microfibers for piezoelectric stimulation, and magnetic PCL/Fe3O4 for controlled deformation via an external magnet. Rat cardiomyocytes in piezoelectric constructs, subjected to dynamic mechanical stimulation, exhibit advanced maturation, featuring superior sarcomeric structures, improved calcium transients, and upregulated maturation genes compared to non-piezoelectric constructs. Furthermore, these engineered piezoelectric cardiac constructs demonstrate significant structural and functional repair of infarcted myocardium, as evidenced by enhanced ejection and shortening fraction, reduced fibrosis and inflammation, and increased angiogenesis. The findings underscore the therapeutic potential of piezoelectric cardiac constructs for myocardial infarction therapy.

[PMID: 38838618 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioadv.2024.213916] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2024] [Revised: 05/18/2024] [Accepted: 05/31/2024] [Indexed: 06/07/2024]
Abstract
The Ti6Al4V (TC4) alloy, a prevalent biomedical material in orthopedics, still faces limitation of the insufficient osseointegration. To improve the bioactivity of TC4, introducing the electric environment onto the TC4 surface may be an effective way in the view of the necessity of endogenous electric microenvironment in bone regeneration. Herein, a Volta potential pattern was engendered on the TC4 surface via parallel laser patterning, so as to promote the osteogenic differentiation of cells. A 15 W laser successfully transformed the original α + β dual phase towards radially distributed lath-like martensite phase in the laser treated region. The atomic lattice distortion between the heterogeneous microstructures of the laser treated and untreated regions leads to a significant Volta potential fluctuation on the TC4 surface. The Volta potential pattern as well as the laser-engraved microgrooves respectively induced mutually orthogonal cell alignments. The hBMSCs osteogenic differentiation was significantly enhanced on the laser treated TC4 surfaces in comparison to the surface without the laser treatment. Moreover, a drastic Volta potential gradient on the TC4 surface (treated with 15 W power and 400 μm interval) resulted in the most pronounced osteogenic differentiation tendency compared to other groups. Modulating the electric environment on the TC4 surface by manipulating the phase transformation may provide an effective way in evoking favorable cell response of bone regeneration, thereby improving the bioactivity of TC4 implant.

Abstract
3D printing and electrospinning are versatile techniques employed to produce 3D structures, such as scaffolds and ultrathin fibers, facilitating the creation of a cellular microenvironment in vitro. These two approaches operate on distinct working principles and utilize different polymeric materials to generate the desired structure. This review provides an extensive overview of these techniques and their potential roles in biomedical applications. Despite their potential role in fabricating complex structures, each technique has its own limitations. Electrospun fibers may have ambiguous geometry, while 3D-printed constructs may exhibit poor resolution with limited mechanical complexity. Consequently, the integration of electrospinning and 3D-printing methods may be explored to maximize the benefits and overcome the individual limitations of these techniques. This review highlights recent advancements in combined techniques for generating structures with controlled porosities on the micro-nano scale, leading to improved mechanical structural integrity. Collectively, these techniques also allow the fabrication of nature-inspired structures, contributing to a paradigm shift in research and technology. Finally, the review concludes by examining the advantages, disadvantages, and future outlooks of existing technologies in addressing challenges and exploring potential opportunities.

Abstract
Cell-laden hydrogel fibers/tubules are one of the fundamentals of tissue engineering. They have been proven as a promising method for constructing biomimetic tissues, such as muscle fibers, nerve conduits, tendon and vessels, etc. However, current hydrogel fiber/tubule production methods have limitations in ordered cell arrangements, thus impeding the biomimetic configurations. Acoustic cell patterning is a cell manipulation method that has good biocompatibility, wide tunability, and is contact-free. However, there are few studies on acoustic cell patterning for fiber production, especially on the radial figure cell arrangements, which mimic many native tissue-like cell arrangements. Here, an acoustic cell patterning system that can be used to produce hydrogel fibers/tubules with tunable cell patterns is shown. Cells can be pre-patterned in the liquid hydrogel before being extruded as cross-linked hydrogel fibers/tubules. The radial patterns can be tuned with different complexities based on the acoustic resonances. Cell viability assays after 72 h confirm good cell viability and proliferation. Considering the biocompatibility and reliability, the present method can be further used for a variety of biomimetic fabrications.

Abstract
Engineered human cardiac tissues have been utilized for various biomedical applications, including drug testing, disease modeling, and regenerative medicine. However, the applications of cardiac tissues derived from human pluripotent stem cells are often limited due to their immaturity and lack of functionality. Therefore, in this study, we establish a perfusable culture system based on in vivo-like heart microenvironments to improve human cardiac tissue fabrication. The integrated culture platform of a microfluidic chip and a three-dimensional heart extracellular matrix enhances human cardiac tissue development and their structural and functional maturation. These tissues are comprised of cardiovascular lineage cells, including cardiomyocytes and cardiac fibroblasts derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells, as well as vascular endothelial cells. The resultant macroscale human cardiac tissues exhibit improved efficacy in drug testing (small molecules with various levels of arrhythmia risk), disease modeling (Long QT Syndrome and cardiac fibrosis), and regenerative therapy (myocardial infarction treatment). Therefore, our culture system can serve as a highly effective tissue-engineering platform to provide human cardiac tissues for versatile biomedical applications.

Abstract
The convergence of 3D bioprinting with powerful manufacturing capability and cellular self-organization that can reproduce intricate tissue microarchitecture and function is a promising direction toward building functional tissues and has yet to be demonstrated. Here, we develop a granular aggregate-prevascularized (GAP) bioink for engineering highly vascularized bone tissues by capitalizing on the condensate-mimicking, self-organization, and angiogenic properties of prevascularized mesenchymal spheroids. The GAP bioink utilizes prevascularized aggregates as building blocks, which are embedded densely in extracellular matrices conducive to spontaneous self-organization. We printed various complex structures with high cell density (∼1.5 × 108 cells/cm3), viability (∼80%), and shape fidelity using GAP bioink. After printing, the prevascularized mesenchymal spheroids developed an interconnected vascular network through angiogenic sprouting. We printed highly vascularized bone tissues using GAP bioink and found that prevascularized spheroids were more conducive to osteogenesis and angiogenesis. We envision that the design of the GAP bioink could be further integrated with human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived organoids, which opens new avenues to create patient-specific vascularized tissues for therapeutic applications..
