Abstract
![]()
This work presents a polysaccharide
and protein-based
two-component
hybrid hydrogel integrating the cell-adhesive gelatin-tyramine (G-Tyr)
and nonadhesive hyaluronic acid-tyramine (HA-Tyr) through enzyme-mediated
oxidative coupling reaction. The resulting HA-Tyr/G-Tyr hydrogel reflects
the precise chemical and mechanical features of the cancer extracellular
matrix and is able to tune cancer cell adhesion upon switching the
component ratio. The cells form quasi-spheroids on HA-Tyr rich hydrogels,
while they tend to form an invasive monolayer culture on G-Tyr rich
hydrogels. The metastatic genotype of colorectal adenocarcinoma cells
(HT-29) increases on G-Tyr rich hydrogels which is driven by the material’s
adhesive property, and additionally confirmed by the suppressed gene
expressions of apoptosis and autophagy. On the other hand, HA-Tyr
rich hydrogels lead the cells to necrotic death via oxidative stress
in quasi-spheroids. This work demonstrates the ideality of HA-Tyr/G-Tyr
to modulate cancer cell adhesion, which also has potential in preventing
primary metastasis after onco-surgery, biomaterials-based cancer research,
and drug testing.

Abstract
It is important to understand the effects of mechanical stimulation on cell behaviors for homeostasis. Many studies have been performed on cell responses to mechanical stimuli, but the mechanosensing mechanism is still under debate. In the present study, experiments employing molecular dynamics (MD) simulations concerning the effects of cyclic mechanical stimulus on cell proliferation were performed based on the hypothesis that mechanosensing depends on integrin types. We used a nanoporous gold (NPG) actuator to prevent transfer of a mechanical stimulus via molecules other than integrins. Surprisingly, a small cyclic strain of only 0.5% enhanced the proliferation of fibroblasts. α5β1 and αvβ3 integrins showed high sensitivity to the mechanical stimulus, whereas α1β1 and α2β1 integrins exhibited low mechanosensitivity. The MD simulations showed that different conformational changes of the integrin headpiece induced by binding to the ECM led to a difference in mechanosensitivity between αI and αI-less integrin types. Thus, the present study provides evidence to support the hypothesis and suggests the mechanism for the heterogeneous roles of integrins in mechanosensing.

The Microfluidic Environment Reveals a Hidden Role of Self-Organizing Extracellular Matrix in Hepatic Commitment and Organoid Formation of hiPSCs. Cell Rep 2020; 33:108453.

Abstract
The specification of the hepatic identity during human liver development is strictly controlled by extrinsic signals, yet it is still not clear how cells respond to these exogenous signals by activating secretory cascades, which are extremely relevant, especially in 3D self-organizing systems. Here, we investigate how the proteins secreted by human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) in response to developmental exogenous signals affect the progression from endoderm to the hepatic lineage, including their competence to generate nascent hepatic organoids. By using microfluidic confined environment and stable isotope labeling with amino acids in cell culture-coupled mass spectrometry (SILAC-MS) quantitative proteomic analysis, we find high abundancy of extracellular matrix (ECM)-associated proteins. Hepatic progenitor cells either derived in microfluidics or exposed to exogenous ECM stimuli show a significantly higher potential of forming hepatic organoids that can be rapidly expanded for several passages and further differentiated into functional hepatocytes. These results prove an additional control over the efficiency of hepatic organoid formation and differentiation for downstream applications.
