Abstract
The multifaceted biological defense system modulating complex immune responses against pathogens and foreign materials plays a critical role in tissue homeostasis and disease progression. Recently developed biomaterials that can specifically regulate immune responses, nanoparticles, graphene, and functional hydrogels have contributed to the advancement of tissue engineering as well as disease treatment. The interaction between innate and adaptive immunity, collectively determining immune responses, can be regulated by mechanobiological recognition and adaptation of immune cells to the extracellular microenvironment. Therefore, applying immunomodulation to tissue regeneration and cancer therapy involves manipulating the properties of biomaterials by tailoring their composition in the context of the immune system. This review provides a comprehensive overview of how the physicochemical attributes of biomaterials determine immune responses, focusing on the physical properties that influence innate and adaptive immunity. This review also underscores the critical aspect of biomaterial-based immune engineering for the development of novel therapeutics and emphasizes the importance of understanding the biomaterials-mediated immunological mechanisms and their role in modulating the immune system.

Abstract
To improve wound healing or treatment of other skin diseases, and provide model cells for skin biology studies, in vitro differentiation of stem cells into keratinocyte-like cells (KLCs) is very desirable in regenerative medicine. This study examined the most recent advancements in in vitro differentiation of stem cells into KLCs, the effect of biofactors, procedures, and preparation for upcoming clinical cases. A range of stem cells with different origins could be differentiated into KLCs under appropriate conditions. The most effective ways of stem cell differentiation into keratinocytes were found to include the co-culture with primary epithelial cells and keratinocytes, and a cocktail of growth factors, cytokines, and small molecules. KLCs should also be supported by biomaterials for the extracellular matrix (ECM), which replicate the composition and functionality of the in vivo extracellular matrix (ECM) and, thus, support their phenotypic and functional characteristics. The detailed efficient characterization of different factors, and their combinations, could make it possible to find the significant inducers for stem cell differentiation into epidermal lineage. Moreover, it allows the development of chemically known media for directing multi-step differentiation procedures.In conclusion, the differentiation of stem cells to KLCs is feasible and KLCs were used in experimental, preclinical, and clinical trials. However, the translation of KLCs from in vitro investigational system to clinically valuable cells is challenging and extremely slow.

Abstract
The involvement of cell-derived extracellular matrix (CDM) in assembling tissue engineering scaffolds has yielded significant results. CDM possesses excellent characteristics, such as ideal cellular microenvironment mimicry and good biocompatibility, which make it a popular research direction in the field of bionanomaterials. CDM has significant advantages as an expansion culture substrate for stem cells, including stabilization of phenotype, reversal of senescence, and guidance of specific differentiation. In addition, the applications of CDM-assembled tissue engineering scaffolds for disease simulation and tissue organ repair are comprehensively summarized; the focus is mainly on bone and cartilage repair, skin defect or wound healing, engineered blood vessels, peripheral nerves, and periodontal tissue repair. We consider CDM a highly promising bionic biomaterial for tissue engineering applications and propose a vision for its comprehensive development.

Abstract
Porous microcarriers have aroused increasing attention recently by facilitating oxygen and nutrient transfer, supporting cell attachment and growth with sufficient cell seeding density. In this study, porous polyetheretherketone (PEEK) microcarriers coated with mineralized extracellular matrix (mECM), known for their chemical, mechanical and biological superiority, were developed for orthopedic applications. Porous PEEK microcarriers were derived from smooth microcarriers using a simple wet-chemistry strategy involving the reduction of carbonyl groups. This treatment simultaneously modified surface topology and chemical composition. Furthermore, the microstructure, protein absorption, cytotoxicity and bioactivity of the obtained porous microcarriers were investigated. The deposition of mECM through repeated recellularization and decellularization on the surface of porous MCs further promoted cell proliferation and osteogenic activity. Additionally, the mECM coated porous microcarriers exhibited excellent bone regeneration in a rat calvarial defect repair model in vivo, suggesting huge potential applications in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Recently, extracellular matrix-based tissue-engineered bone is a promising approach to repairing bone defects, and the seed cells are mostly mesenchymal stem cells. However, bone remodelling is a complex biological process, in which osteoclasts perform bone resorption and osteoblasts dominate bone formation. The interaction and coupling of these two kinds of cells is the key to bone repair. Therefore, the extracellular matrix secreted by the mesenchymal stem cells alone cannot mimic a complex bone regeneration microenvironment, and the addition of extracellular matrix by preosteoclasts may contribute as an effective strategy for bone regeneration. Here, we established the mesenchymal stem cell/preosteoclast extracellular matrix -based tissue-engineered bones and demonstrated that engineered-scaffolds based on mesenchymal stem cell/ preosteoclast extracellular matrix significantly enhanced osteogenesis in a 3 mm rat femur defect model compared with mesenchymal stem cell alone. The bioactive proteins released from the mesenchymal stem cell/ preosteoclast extracellular matrix based tissue-engineered bones also promoted the migration, adhesion, and osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells in vitro. As for the mechanisms, the iTRAQ-labeled mass spectrometry was performed, and 608 differentially expressed proteins were found, including the IGFBP5 and CXCL12. Through in vitro studies, we proved that CXCL12 and IGFBP5 proteins, mainly released from the preosteoclasts, contributed to mesenchymal stem cells migration and osteogenic differentiation, respectively. Overall, our research, for the first time, introduce pre-osteoclast into the tissue engineering of bone and optimize the strategy of constructing extracellular matrix-based tissue-engineered bone using different cells to simulate the natural bone regeneration environment, which provides new sight for bone tissue engineering.

Epithelial differentiation of human adipose-derived stem cells (hASCs) undergoing three-dimensional (3D) cultivation with collagen sponge scaffold (CSS) via an indirect co-culture strategy. Stem Cell Res Ther 2020; 11:141. [PMID: 32234069 PMCID: PMC7110797 DOI: 10.1186/s13287-020-01645-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2020] [Revised: 02/10/2020] [Accepted: 03/10/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Three-dimensional (3D) cultivation with biomaterials was proposed to facilitate stem cell epithelial differentiation for wound healing. However, whether human adipose-derived stem cells (hASCs) on collagen sponge scaffold (CSS) better differentiate to keratinocytes remains unclear. METHODS 3D cultivation with CSS on hASC epidermal differentiation co-cultured with HaCaT cells at air-liquid interface (ALI) was compared with two-dimensional (2D) form and cultivation without "co-culture" or "ALI." Cellular morphology, cell adhesion, and growth condition were evaluated, followed by the protein and gene expression of keratin 14 (K14, keratinocyte specific marker). RESULTS Typical cobblestone morphology of keratinocytes was remarkably observed in co-cultured hASCs at ALI, but those seeded on the CSS exhibited more keratinocyte-like cells under an invert microscope and scanning electron microscope. Desired cell adhesion and proliferation were confirmed in 3D differentiation groups by rhodamine-labeled phalloidin staining, consistent with H&E staining. Compared with those cultured in 2D culture system or without "ALI," immunofluorescence staining and gene expression analysis revealed hASCs co-cultured over CSS expressed K14 at higher levels at day 15. CONCLUSIONS CSS is positive to promote epithelial differentiation of hASCs, which will foster a deeper understanding of artificial dermis in skin wound healing and regeneration.

ECM coating modification generated by optimized decellularization process improves functional behavior of BMSCs. MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING.

Abstract
Bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) have been widely applied in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. However, small number of BMSCs and loss of stem cell characteristics after expansion in vitro limited clinical use of BMSCs. In the present study, osteoblasts were cultured to lay down extracellular matrix (ECM) and then the cells were removed (decellularization) to generate ECM coating substrates. The decellularization process was optimized to maximally remove cells and cellular components, along with integrated ECM retained which was demonstrated to be beneficial for BMSCs expansion in vitro. After decellularization, only less than 2% of residual DNA and cellular proteins were detected in TFFF-ECM (decellularized by triton X-100 (T) and three freeze/thaw cycles (FFF)), which was much less than that in TN-ECM generated by traditional decellularization method (triton X-100 (T) and NH4OH (N)). Meanwhile, ECM components and structure were preserved best after decellularization by TFFF method. More ECM proteins were detected, and structure proteins (fibronectin and collagen) exhibited as classic network fibers in TFFF-ECM. Functionally, all kinds of decellularized ECM (dECM) were demonstrated to promote BMSCs proliferation and osteogenic differentiation capacity, thus maintain the stemness of BMSCs. Importantly, cells cultured on TFFF-ECM grew faster than the cells on other kinds of dECM at early stage and TFFF-ECM was beneficial to preserve stemness of BMSCs with high expression of OCT4 and NANOG when cultured in vitro. Proteomic analysis showed the proteins in ECM functioned in multiple biological activities and signaling pathways, which contributed to stemness maintenance of BMSC. Thus, the mild decellularization process optimized in this study enhanced the effectiveness of dECM for BMSCs culture in vitro and maybe further applied to BMSCs based tissue repair.

Abstract
Hydrogels such as type I collagen (COL) have been widely studied in bone tissue repair, whereas their weak mechanical strength has limited their clinical application. By adding graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets, researchers have successfully improved the mechanical properties and biocompatibility of the hydrogels. However, for large bone defects, the osteoinductive and cell adhesion ability of the GO hybrid hydrogels need to be improved. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) secreted extracellular matrix (ECM), which is an intricate network, could provide a biomimetic microenvironment and functional molecules that enhance the cell proliferation and survival rate. To synergize the advantages of MSC-ECM with GO-COL hybrid implants, we developed a novel ECM scaffold construction method. First, an osteoinductive extracellular matrix (OiECM) was created by culturing osteodifferentiated bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) for 21 days. Then, the GO-COL scaffold was fully wrapped with the OiECM to construct the OiECM-GO-COL composite for implantation. The morphology, physical properties, biocompatibility, and osteogenic performance of the OiECM-GO-COL implants were assessed in vitro and in vivo (5 mm rat cranial defect model). Both gene expression and cell level assessments suggested that the BMSCs cultured on OiECM-GO-COL implants had a higher proliferation rate and osteogenic ability compared to the COL or GO-COL groups. In vivo results showed that the OiECM-GO-COL implants achieved better repair effects in a rat critical cranial defect model, whereas bone formation in other groups was limited. This study provides a promising strategy, which greatly improves the osteogenic ability and biocompatibility of the GO hydrogels without the procedure of seeding and culturing MSCs on scaffolds in vitro, demonstrating its potential as an off-the-shelf method for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
The skin provides a dynamic barrier separating and protecting human body from the exterior world, and then immediate repair and rebuilding of the epidermal barrier is crucial after wound and injury. Wound healing without scars and complete regeneration of skin tissue still remain as a clinical challenge. The demand to engineer scaffolds that actively promote regeneration of damaged areas of the skin has been increased. In this study, menstrual blood-derived stem cells (MenSCs) have been induced to differentiate into keratinocytes-like cells in the presence of human foreskin-derived keratinocytes on a bilayer scaffold based on amniotic membrane and silk fibroin. Based on the findings, newly differentiated keratinocytes from MenSCs successfully expressed the keratinocytes specific markers at both mRNA and protein levels judged by real-time PCR and immunostaining techniques, respectively. We could show that the differentiated cells over bilayer composite scaffolds express the keratinocytes specific markers at higher levels when compared with those cultured in conventional 2D culture system. Based on these findings, bilayer amniotic membrane/nano-fibrous fibroin scaffold represents an efficient natural construct with broad applicability to generate keratinocytes from MenSCs for stem cell-based skin wounds healing and regeneration.

Abstract
Rapid neovascularization of a tissue-engineered (TE) construct by the host vasculature is quintessential to warrant effective bone regeneration. This process can be promoted through active induction of angiogenic growth factor secretion or by implementation of in vitro pre-vascularization strategies. In this study, we aimed at optimizing the pro-angiogenic effect of Cobalt (Co2+) to enhance vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression by human periosteum-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hPDCs). Simultaneously we set out to promote microvascular network formation by co-culturing with human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). The results showed that Co2+ treatments (at 50, 100 or 150 µM) significantly upregulated in vitro VEGF expression, but inhibited hPDCs growth and HUVECs network formation in co-cultures. These inhibitory effects were mitigated at lower Co2+ concentrations (at 5, 10 or 25 µM) while VEGF expression remained significantly upregulated and further augmented in the presence of Ascorbic Acid and Dexamethasone possibly through Runx2 upregulation. The supplements also facilitated HUVECs network formation, which was dependent on the quantity and spatial distribution of collagen type-1 matrix deposited by the hPDCs. When applied to hPDCs seeded onto calcium phosphate scaffolds, the supplements significantly induced VEGF secretion in vitro, and promoted higher vascularization upon ectopic implantation in nude mice shown by an increase of CD31 positive blood vessels within the scaffolds. Our findings provided novel insights into the pleotropic effects of Co2+ on angiogenesis (i.e. promoted VEGF secretion and inhibited endothelial network formation), and showed potential to pre-condition TE constructs under one culture regime for improved implant neovascularization in vivo. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT Cobalt (Co2+) is known to upregulate vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) secretion, however it also inhibits in vitro angiogenesis through unknown Co2+-induced events. This limits the potential of Co2+ for pro-angiogenesis of tissue engineered (TE) implants. We showed that Co2+ upregulated VEGF expression by human periosteum-derived cells (hPDCs) but reduced the cell growth, and endothelial network formation due to reduction of col-1 matrix deposition. Supplementation with Ascorbic acid and Dexamethasone concurrently improved hPDCs growth, endothelial network formation, and upregulated VEGF secretion. In vitro pre-conditioning of hPDC-seeded TE constructs with this fine-tuned medium enhanced VEGF secretion and implant neovascularization. Our study provided novel insights into the pleotropic effects of Co2+ on angiogenesis and formed the basis for improving implant neovascularization.
