Distinctive small molecules blend: Promotes lacrimal gland epithelial cell proliferation in vitro and accelerates lacrimal gland injury repair in vivo. Ocul Surf 2024; 34:283-295. [PMID: 39209152 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtos.2024.08.014] [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: 01/25/2024] [Revised: 08/23/2024] [Accepted: 08/26/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE This study aims to develop a novel serum-free culture strategy containing only two small molecules, Y27632 and SB431542 (2C), for in vitro expansion of mouse lacrimal gland epithelial cells (LGECs) and investigate an innovative therapeutic approach for lacrimal gland (LG) injury. METHODS LGECs proliferative capacity was assessed by cell counting, crystal violet staining, qRT-PCR and immunofluorescence. Cell differentiation was achieved by manipulating culture conditions and assessed by qRT-PCR and AQP5 immunofluorescence. LGECs were seeded in Matrigel for three-dimensional culture and assessed by qRT-PCR and immunofluorescence. Secretory function of the cultures was assayed by ELISA. In vivo, 2C injection verified its reparative capacity in a mouse LG injury model. Corneal fluorescein staining, phenol red cotton thread, H&E, immunofluorescence and Western blot were used to assess LG injury repair. RESULTS LGECs cultured with 2C exhibited high expression of stemness/proliferation markers and maintained morphology and proliferative capacity even after the tenth passage. Removal of 2C was efficacious in achieving LGECs differentiation, characterized by the increased AQP5 expression and LTF secretion. 3D spheroids cultured with 2C demonstrated differentiation potential, forming microglandular structures containing multiple LG cell types with secretory functions after 2C removal. In vivo, 2C improved the structural integrity and function of the injured LG. CONCLUSIONS We present a small molecule combination, 2C, that promotes LGECs expansion and differentiation in vitro and accelerates LG injury repair in vivo. This approach has potential applications for providing a stable source of seed cells for tissue engineering applications, providing new sights for LG-related diseases treatment.

Abstract
Background Conventional techniques used in oral and maxillofacial reconstruction focus mainly on utilizing autologous tissues that have unquestionably improved function and esthetics for many patients, worldwide. However, the success depends on countless factors such as: donor and recipient sites conditions, patient's medical history, surgeon's experience, restricted availability of high-quality autogenous tissues or stem cells, and increased surgical cost and time. Materials and Methods Lately, teaming researchers, scientists, surgeons, and engineers, to address these limitations, have allowed tremendous progress in recombinant protein therapy, cell-based therapy, and gene therapy. Results Over the past few years, biomedical engineering has been evolving from the laboratory to clinical applications, for replacement of damaged body tissues due to trauma, cancer, congenital or acquired disorders. Conclusions This review provides an outlook on the content, benefits, recent advances, limitations, and future expectations of biomedical engineering for salivary glands, oral mucosa, dental structures, and maxillofacial reconstruction.

Oral Galvanism Side Effects: Comparing Alloy Ions and Galvanic Current Effects on the Mucosa-like Model. J Funct Biomater 2023; 14:564.

Abstract
The interaction of different dental alloys with the oral environment may cause severe side effects (e.g., burning sensation, inflammatory reactions, carcinogenesis) as a result of oral galvanism. However, the pathogenesis of side effects associated with oral galvanism is still unclear, and the effects of direct current and alloy corrosion ions are considered potentially contributing factors. Therefore, the aim of this study was to systemically compare the damaging effects of (1) galvanism as a synergistic process (direct current + corrosion ions), (2) direct current separately, and (3) corrosion ions separately on an in vitro mucosa-like model based on a cell line of immortalized human keratinocytes (HaCaTs) to reveal the factors playing a pivotal role in dental alloys side effects. For this, we chose and compared the dental alloys with the highest risk of oral galvanism: Ti64-AgPd and NiCr-AgPd. We showed that galvanic current may be the leading damaging factor in the cytotoxic processes associated with galvanic coupling of metallic intraoral appliances in the oral cavity, especially in the short-term period (28 days). However, the contribution of corrosion ions (Ni2+) to the synergistic toxicity was also shown, and quite possibly, in the long term, it could be no less dangerous.

Building a tissue: mesenchymal and epithelial cell spheroids' mechanical properties at micro- and nanoscale. Acta Biomater 2022:S1742-7061(22)00621-3. [PMID: 36167239 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2022.09.051] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2022] [Revised: 09/09/2022] [Accepted: 09/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
Cell transitions between the epithelial and mesenchymal phenotypes provide the regulated morphogenesis and regeneration throughout the ontogenesis. The tissue mechanics and mechanotransduction play an essential role in these processes. Cell spheroids reproduce the cell density of native tissues and represent simple building blocks for the tissue engineering purposes. The mechanical properties of mesenchymal and epithelial cells have been extensively studied in 2D monolayer cultures, but have not been sufficiently compared in spheroids. Here, we have simultaneously applied several techniques to assess the mechanical parameters of such spheroids. The local surface mechanical properties were measured by AFM, and the bulk properties were analyzed with parallel-plate compression, as well as by observing cut opening after microdissection. The comparison of the collected data allowed us to apply the model of a solid body with surface tension, and estimate the parameters of this model. We found an expectedly higher surface tension in mesenchymal spheroids, as well as a higher bulk modulus and relaxation time. The two latter parameters agree with the bulk poroelastic behavior of spheroids, and with the higher cell density and extracellular matrix content in mesenchymal spheroids. The higher tension of the surface layer cells in mesenchymal cell spheroids was also confirmed by the viscoelastic AFM characterization. The cell phenotype affected the self-organization during the spheroid formation, as well as the structure, biomechanical properties, and spreading of spheroids. The obtained results will contribute to a more detailed description of spheroid and tissue biomechanics, and will help in controlling the tissue regeneration and morphogenesis. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Spheroids are widely used as building blocks for scaffold-based and scaffold-free strategies in tissue engineering. In the majority of the past studies, either the concept of a solid body or a liquid with surface tension was used to describe the biomechanical behavior of spheroids. Here, we have used a model which combines both aspects, a solid body with surface tension. The "solid" aspect was described as a visco-poroelastic material, affected by the liquid redistribution through the cells and ECM at the scale of the whole spheroid. A higher surface tension was found for mesenchymal spheroids than that for epithelial spheroids, observed as a higher stiffness of the spheroid surface, as well as a larger spontaneous opening of the cut edges after microdissection.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE The method of photobiomodulation (PBM) has been used in medicine for a long time to promote anti-inflammation and pain-resolving processes in different organs and tissues. PBM triggers numerous cellular pathways including stimulation of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, alteration of the cytoskeleton, cell death prevention, increasing proliferative activity, and directing cell differentiation. The most effective wavelengths for PBM are found within the optical window (750 to 1100 nm), in which light can permeate tissues and other water-containing structures to depths of up to a few cm. PBM already finds its applications in the developing fields of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. However, the diversity of three-dimensional (3D) systems, irradiation sources, and protocols intricate the PBM applications. AIM We aim to discuss the PBM and 3D tissue engineered constructs to define the fields of interest for PBM applications in tissue engineering. APPROACH First, we provide a brief overview of PBM and the timeline of its development. Then, we discuss the optical properties of 3D cultivation systems and important points of light dosimetry. Finally, we analyze the cellular pathways induced by PBM and outcomes observed in various 3D tissue-engineered constructs: hydrogels, scaffolds, spheroids, cell sheets, bioprinted structures, and organoids. RESULTS Our summarized results demonstrate the great potential of PBM in the stimulation of the cell survival and viability in 3D conditions. The strategies to achieve different cell physiology states with particular PBM parameters are outlined. CONCLUSIONS PBM has already proved itself as a convenient and effective tool to prevent drastic cellular events in the stress conditions. Because of the poor viability of cells in scaffolds and the convenience of PBM devices, 3D tissue engineering is a perspective field for PBM applications.

Abstract
One of the severe complications occurring because of the patient's intubation is tracheal stenosis. Its incidence has significantly risen because of the COVID-19 pandemic and tends only to increase. Here, we propose an alternative to the donor trachea and synthetic prostheses-the tracheal equivalent. To form it, we applied the donor trachea samples, which were decellularized, cross-linked, and treated with laser to make wells on their surface, and inoculated them with human gingiva-derived mesenchymal stromal cells. The fabricated construct was assessed in vivo using nude (immunodeficient), immunosuppressed, and normal mice and rabbits. In comparison with the matrix ones, the tracheal equivalent samples demonstrated the thinning of the capsule, the significant vessel ingrowth into surrounding tissues, and the increase in the submucosa resorption. The developed construct was shown to be highly biocompatible and efficient in trachea restoration. These results can facilitate its clinical translation and be a base to design clinical trials.

Abstract
This review aims at becoming a guide which will help to plan the experimental design and to choose adequate methods to assess the outcomes when testing cell-based products in the treatment of the damaged vocal folds. The requirements to preclinical trials of cell-based products remain rather hazy and dictated by the country regulations. Most parameters like the way the cells are administered, selection of the cell source, selection of a carrier, and design of in vivo studies are decided upon by each research team and may differ essentially between studies. The review covers the methodological aspects of preclinical studies such as experimental models, characterization of cell products, assessment of the study outcome using molecular, morphological and immunohistochemical analyses, as well as measuring the tissue physical properties. The unified recommendations to perform preclinical trials could significantly facilitate the translation of cell-based products into the clinical practice.

Abstract
Dysfunction and damage of the lacrimal gland (LG) results in ocular discomfort and dry eye disease (DED). Current therapies for DED do not fully replenish the necessary lubrication to rescue optimal vision. New drug discovery for DED has been limited perhaps because in vitro models cannot mimic the biology of the native LG. The existing platforms for LG organoid culture are scarce and still not ready for consistency and scale up production towards drug screening. The magnetic three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting (M3DB) is a novel system for 3D in vitro biofabrication of cellularized tissues using magnetic nanoparticles to bring cells together. M3DB provides a scalable platform for consistent handling of spheroid-like cell cultures facilitating consistent biofabrication of organoids. Previously, we successfully generated innervated secretory epithelial organoids from human dental pulp stem cells with M3DB and found that this platform is feasible for epithelial organoid bioprinting. Research targeting LG organogenesis, drug discovery for DED has extensively used mouse models. However, certain inter-species differences between mouse and human must be considered. Porcine LG appear to have more similarities to human LG than the mouse counterparts. We have conducted preliminary studies with the M3DB for fabricating LG organoids from primary cells isolated from murine and porcine LG, and found that this platform provides robust LG organoids for future potential high-throughput analysis and drug discovery. The LG organoid holds promise to be a functional model of tearing, a platform for drug screening, and may offer clinical applications for DED.

Abstract
Cell viability is the primary integrative parameter used for various purposes, particularly when fabricating tissue equivalents (e.g., using bioprinting or scaffolding techniques), optimizing conditions to cultivate cells, testing chemicals, drugs, and biomaterials, etc. Most of the conventional methods were originally designed for a monolayer (2D) culture; however, 2D approaches fail to adequately assess a tissue-engineered construct's viability and drug effects and recapitulate the host-pathogen interactions and infectivity. This study aims at revealing the influence of particular 3D cell systems' parameters such as the components' concentration, gel thickness, cell density, etc. on the cell viability and applicability of standard assays. Here, we present an approach to achieving adequate and reproducible results on the cell viability in 3D collagen- and fibrin-based systems using the Live/Dead, AlamarBlue, and PicoGreen assays. Our results have demonstrated that a routine precise analysis of 3D systems should be performed using a combination of at least three methods based on different cell properties, e.g. the metabolic activity, proliferative capacity, morphology, etc.

Mechanical properties of cell sheets and spheroids: the link between single cells and complex tissues. Biophys Rev 2021; 13:541-561. [PMID: 34471438 PMCID: PMC8355304 DOI: 10.1007/s12551-021-00821-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2021] [Accepted: 07/05/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Cell aggregates, including sheets and spheroids, represent a simple yet powerful model system to study both biochemical and biophysical intercellular interactions. However, it is becoming evident that, although the mechanical properties and behavior of multicellular structures share some similarities with individual cells, yet distinct differences are observed in some principal aspects. The description of mechanical phenomena at the level of multicellular model systems is a necessary step for understanding tissue mechanics and its fundamental principles in health and disease. Both cell sheets and spheroids are used in tissue engineering, and the modulation of mechanical properties of cell constructs is a promising tool for regenerative medicine. Here, we review the data on mechanical characterization of cell sheets and spheroids, focusing both on advances in the measurement techniques and current understanding of the subject. The reviewed material suggest that interplay between the ECM, intercellular junctions, and cellular contractility determines the behavior and mechanical properties of the cell aggregates.

Abstract
Bone formation during embryogenesis is driven by interacting osteogenesis and angiogenesis with parallel endothelial differentiation. Thence, all in vitro bioengineering techniques are aimed at pre-vascularization of osteogenic bioequivalents to provide better regeneration outcomes upon transplantation. Due to appearance of cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions, 3D cultures of adipose-derived stromal cells (ADSCs) provide a favorable spatial context for the induction of different morphogenesis processes, including vasculo-, angio-, and osteogenesis and, therefore, allow modeling their communication in vitro. However, simultaneous induction of multidirectional cell differentiation in spheroids from multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MMSCs) was not considered earlier. Here we show that arranging ADSCs into spheroids allows rapid and spontaneous acquiring of markers of both osteo- and angiogenesis compared with 2D culture. We further showed that this multidirectional differentiation persists in time, but is not influenced by classical protocols for osteo- or angio-differentiation. At the same time, ADSC-spheroids retain similar morphology and microarchitecture in different culture conditions. These findings can contribute to a better understanding of the fundamental aspects of autonomous regulation of differentiation processes and their cross-talks in artificially created self-organizing multicellular structures. This, in turn, can find a wide range of applications in the field of tissue engineering and regeneration.

Abstract
Despite the positive achievements attained, the treatment of male urethral strictures and hypospadiases still remains a challenge, particularly in cases of severe urethral defects. Complications and the need for additional interventions in such cases are common. Also, shortage of autologous tissue for graft harvesting and significant morbidity in the location of harvesting present problems and often lead to staged treatment. Tissue engineering provides a promising alternative to the current sources of grafts for urethroplasty. Since the first experiments in urethral substitution with tissue engineered grafts, this topic in regenerative medicine has grown remarkably, as many different types of tissue-engineered grafts and approaches in graft design have been suggested and testedin vivo. However, there have been only a few clinical trials of tissue-engineered grafts in urethral substitution, involving hardly more than a hundred patients overall. This indicates that the topic is still in its inception, and the search for the best graft design is continuing. The current review focuses on the state of the art in urethral regeneration with tissue engineering technology. It gives a comprehensive overview of the components of the tissue-engineered graft and an overview of the steps in graft development. Different cell sources, types of scaffolds, assembling approaches, options for vascularization enhancement and preclinical models are considered.

Abstract
Oral mucosa and salivary gland are composed of complex and dynamic networks of extracellular matrix, multiple cell types, vasculature, and various biochemical agents. Two-dimensional (2D) cell culture is commonly used in testing new drugs and experimental therapies. However, 2D cell culture cannot fully replicate the architecture, physiological, and pathological microenvironment of living human oral mucosa and salivary glands. Recent microengineering techniques offer state of the science cell culture models that can recapitulate human organ structures and functions. This narrative review describes emerging in vitro models of oral and salivary gland tissue such as 3D cell culture models, spheroid and organoid models, tissue-on-a-chip, and functional decellularized scaffolds. Clinical applications of these models are also discussed in this review.

Abstract
A two-stage polylactide modification was performed in the supercritical carbon dioxide medium using the urethane formation reaction. The modification resulted in the synthesis of polymerizable methacrylate derivatives of polylactide for application in the spatial 3D structuring by laser stereolithography. The use of the supercritical carbon dioxide medium allowed us to obtain for the first time polymerizable oligomer-polymer systems in the form of dry powders convenient for further application in the preparation of polymer compositions for photocuring. The photocuring of the modified polymers was performed by laser stereolithography and two-photon crosslinking. Using nanoindentation, we found that Young’s modulus of the cured compositions corresponded to the standard characteristics of implants applied in regenerative medicine. As shown by thermogravimetric analysis, the degree of crosslinking and, hence, the local stiffness of scaffolds were determined by the amount of the crosslinking agent and the photocuring regime. No cytotoxicity was observed for the structures.

Abstract
Regenerative potential of multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells from the human umbilical cord (MMSC-UC) in the suspension and spheroid form was revealed during the progression of experimental small focal myocardial infarction in rats. In isoproterenol-induced myocardial infarction, foci of necrosis and inflammatory infiltrate and at later terms fibrosis foci were found mainly in the left ventricle of rat heart. In rats receiving MMSC-UC, destructive changes in the myocardium, fibrous scars, and inflammatory process were less pronounced. MMSC-UC also contributed to normalization of the morphofunctional parameters of the heart. Spheroids exhibited higher efficiency in comparison with cell suspension.

Abstract
Cell sheet technology has remained quite popular among tissue engineering techniques over the last several years. Meanwhile, there is an apparent trend in modern scientific research towards combining different approaches and strategies. Accordingly, a large body of work has arisen where cell sheets are used not as separate structures, but in combination with scaffolds as supporting constructions. The aim of this review is to analyze the intersection of these two vast areas of tissue engineering described in the literature mainly within the last five years. Some practical and technical details are emphasized to provide information that can be useful in research design and planning. The first part of the paper describes the general issues concerning the use of combined technology, its advantages and limitations in comparison with those of other tissue engineering approaches. Next, the detailed literature analysis of in vivo studies aimed at the regeneration of different tissues is performed. A significant part of this section concerns bone regeneration. In addition to that, other connective tissue structures, including articular cartilage and fibrocartilage, ligaments and tendons, and some soft tissues are discussed. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: This paper describes the intersection of two technologies used in designing of tissue-engineered constructions for regenerative medicine: cell sheets as extracellular matrix-rich structures and supporting scaffolds as essentials in tissue engineering. A large number of reviews are devoted to each of these scientific problems. However, the solution of complex problems of tissue engineering requires an integrated approach that includes both three-dimensional scaffolds and cell sheets. This manuscript serves as a description of advantages and limitations of this method, its use in regeneration of bones, connective tissues and soft tissues and some other details.

Abstract
While the number of studies related to severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is constantly growing, it is essential to provide a framework of modeling viral infections. Therefore, this review aims to describe the background presented by earlier used models for viral studies and an approach to design an "ideal" tissue model for SARS-CoV-2 infection. Due to the previous successful achievements in antiviral research and tissue engineering, combining the emerging techniques such as bioprinting, microfluidics, and organoid formation are considered to be one of the best approaches to form in vitro tissue models. The fabrication of an integrated multi-tissue bioprinted platform tailored for SARS-CoV-2 infection can be a great breakthrough that can help defeat coronavirus disease in 2019.

Abstract
Biological self-assembly is crucial in the processes of development, tissue regeneration, and maturation of bioprinted tissue-engineered constructions. The cell aggregates-spheroids-have become widely used model objects in the study of this phenomenon. Existing approaches describe the fusion of cell aggregates by analogy with the coalescence of liquid droplets and ignore the complex structural properties of spheroids. Here, we analyzed the fusion process in connection with structure and mechanical properties of the spheroids from human somatic cells of different phenotypes: mesenchymal stem cells from the limbal eye stroma and epithelial cells from retinal pigment epithelium. A nanoindentation protocol was applied for the mechanical measurements. We found a discrepancy with the liquid drop fusion model: the fusion was faster for spheroids from epithelial cells with lower apparent surface tension than for mesenchymal spheroids with higher surface tension. This discrepancy might be caused by biophysical processes such as extracellular matrix remodeling in the case of mesenchymal spheroids and different modes of cell migration. The obtained results will contribute to the development of more realistic models for spheroid fusion that would further provide a helpful tool for constructing cell aggregates with required properties both for fundamental studies and tissue reparation.

Abstract
Neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs) are most commonly found in adults and remain essentially incurable. Gene therapy using AAV vectors is a rapidly-growing field of experimental medicine that holds promise for the treatment of NDDs. To date, the delivery of a therapeutic gene into target cells via AAV represents a major obstacle in the field. Ideally, transgenes should be delivered into the target cells specifically and efficiently, while promiscuous or off-target gene delivery should be minimized to avoid toxicity. In the pursuit of an ideal vehicle for NDD gene therapy, a broad variety of vector systems have been explored. Here we specifically outline the advantages of adeno-associated virus (AAV)-based vector systems for NDD therapy application. In contrast to many reviews on NDDs that can be found in the literature, this review is rather focused on AAV vector selection and their preclinical testing in experimental and preclinical NDD models. Preclinical and in vitro data reveal the strong potential of AAV for NDD-related diagnostics and therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
The skin is the largest organ of the body, which meets the environment most directly. Thus, the skin is vulnerable to various damages, particularly burn injury. Skin wound healing is a serious interaction between cell types, cytokines, mediators, the neurovascular system, and matrix remodeling. Tissue regeneration technology remarkably enhances skin repair via re-epidermalization, epidermal-stromal cell interactions, angiogenesis, and inhabitation of hypertrophic scars and keloids. The success rates of skin healing for burn injuries have significantly increased with the use of various skin substitutes. In this review, we discuss skin replacement with cells, growth factors, scaffolds, or cell-seeded scaffolds for skin tissue reconstruction and also compare the high efficacy and cost-effectiveness of each therapy. We describe the essentials, achievements, and challenges of cell-based therapy in reducing scar formation and improving burn injury treatment.
