Improving the mechanical and biological functions of cell sheet constructs: The interplay of human-derived periodontal ligament stem cells, endothelial cells and plasma rich in growth factors. Biomed Pharmacother 2024; 174:116599. [PMID: 38640711 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2024.116599] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2024] [Revised: 04/02/2024] [Accepted: 04/11/2024] [Indexed: 04/21/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to produce and characterize triple-layered cell sheet constructs with varying cell compositions combined or not with the fibrin membrane scaffold obtained by the technology of Plasma Rich in Growth Factors (mPRGF). MATERIALS AND METHODS Human primary cultures of periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) were isolated, and their stemness nature was evaluated. Three types of triple-layered composite constructs were generated, composed solely of hPDLSCs or combined with human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), either as a sandwiched endothelial layer or as coculture sheets of both cell phenotypes. These three triple-layered constructs were also manufactured using mPRGF as cell sheets' support. Necrosis, glucose consumption, secretion of extracellular matrix proteins and synthesis of proangiogenic factors were determined. Histological evaluations and proteomic analyses were also performed. RESULTS The inclusion of HUVECs did not clearly improve the properties of the multilayered constructs and yet hindered their optimal conformation. The presence of mPRGF prevented the shrinkage of cell sheets, stimulated the metabolic activity and increased the matrix synthesis. At the proteome level, mPRGF conferred a dramatic advantage to the hPDLSC constructs in their ability to provide a suitable environment for tissue regeneration by inducing the expression of proteins necessary for bone morphogenesis and cellular proliferation. CONCLUSIONS hPDLSCs' triple-layer construct onto mPRGF emerges as the optimal structure for its use in regenerative therapeutics. CLINICAL RELEVANCE These results suggest the suitability of mPRGF as a promising tool to support cell sheet formation by improving their handling and biological functions.

Abstract
Cell sheet technology has emerged as a novel scaffold-free approach for cell-based therapies in regenerative medicine. Techniques for harvesting cell sheets are essential to preserve the integrity of living cell sheets. This review provides an overview of fundamental technologies to fabricate cell sheets and recent advances in cell sheet-based tissue engineering. In addition to the commonly used temperature-responsive systems, we introduce alternative approaches, such as ROS-induced, magnetic-controlled, and light-induced cell sheet technologies. Moreover, we discuss the modification of the cell sheet to improve its function, including stacking, genetic modification, and vascularization. With the significant advances in cell sheet technology, cell sheets have been widely applied in various tissues and organs, including but not limited to the lung, cornea, cartilage, periodontium, heart, and liver. This review further describes both the preclinical and clinical applications of cell sheets. We believe that the progress in cell sheet technology would further propel its biomedical applications.

Abstract
Aims Several artificial bone grafts have been developed but fail to achieve anticipated osteogenesis due to their insufficient neovascularization capacity and periosteum support. This study aimed to develop a vascularized bone-periosteum construct (VBPC) to provide better angiogenesis and osteogenesis for bone regeneration. Methods A total of 24 male New Zealand white rabbits were divided into four groups according to the experimental materials. Allogenic adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AMSCs) were cultured and seeded evenly in the collagen/chitosan sheet to form cell sheet as periosteum. Simultaneously, allogenic AMSCs were seeded onto alginate beads and were cultured to differentiate to endothelial-like cells to form vascularized bone construct (VBC). The cell sheet was wrapped onto VBC to create a vascularized bone-periosteum construct (VBPC). Four different experimental materials - acellular construct, VBC, non-vascularized bone-periosteum construct, and VBPC - were then implanted in bilateral L4-L5 intertransverse space. At 12 weeks post-surgery, the bone-forming capacities were determined by CT, biomechanical testing, histology, and immunohistochemistry staining analyses. Results At 12 weeks, the VBPC group significantly increased new bone formation volume compared with the other groups. Biomechanical testing demonstrated higher torque strength in the VBPC group. Notably, the haematoxylin and eosin, Masson's trichrome, and immunohistochemistry-stained histological results revealed that VBPC promoted neovascularization and new bone formation in the spine fusion areas. Conclusion The tissue-engineered VBPC showed great capability in promoting angiogenesis and osteogenesis in vivo. It may provide a novel approach to create a superior blood supply and nutritional environment to overcome the deficits of current artificial bone graft substitutes.

Abstract
Bone defects are among the most common damages in human medicine. Due to limitations and challenges in the area of bone healing, the research field has turned into a hot topic discipline with direct clinical outcomes. Among several available modalities, scaffold-free cell sheet technology has opened novel avenues to yield efficient osteogenesis. It is suggested that the intact matrix secreted from cells can provide a unique microenvironment for the acceleration of osteoangiogenesis. To the best of our knowledge, cell sheet technology (CST) has been investigated in terms of several skeletal defects with promising outcomes. Here, we highlighted some recent advances associated with the application of CST for the recovery of craniomaxillofacial (CMF) in various preclinical settings. The regenerative properties of both single-layer and multilayer CST were assessed regarding fabrication methods and applications. It has been indicated that different forms of cell sheets are available for CMF engineering like those used for other hard tissues. By tackling current challenges, CST is touted as an effective and alternative therapeutic option for CMF bone regeneration.

Abstract
Utilizing both medium enrichment and a thermos-responsive substrate to maintain the cell-to-cell junctions and extracellular matrix (ECM) intact, cell sheet technology has emerged as a ground-breaking approach. Investigating the possibility of using sodium selenite (as medium supplementation) and PCL-PEG-PCL (as vessel coating substrate) in the formation of the sheets from rat bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (rBMSCs) was the main goal of the present study. To this end, first, Polycaprolactone-co-Poly (ethylene glycol)-co-Polycaprolactone triblock copolymer (PCEC) was prepared by ring-opening copolymerization method and characterized by FTIR, 1 H NMR, and GPC. The sol-gel-sol phase transition temperature of the PCEC aqueous solutions with various concentrations was either measured. Next, rBMSCs were cultured on the PCEC, and let be expanded in five different media containing vitamin C (50 µg/ml), sodium selenite (0.1 µM), vitamin C and sodium selenite (50 µg/ml + 0.1 µM), Trolox, and routine medium. The proliferation of the cells exposed to each material was evaluated. Produced cell sheets were harvested from the polymer surface by temperature reduction and phenotypically analyzed via an inverted microscope, hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining, and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). Through the molecular level, the expression of the stemness-related genes (Sox2, Oct-4, Nanog), selenium-dependent enzymes (TRX, GPX-1), and aging regulator gene (Sirt1) were measured by q RT-PCR. Senescence in cell sheets was checked by beta-galactosidase assay. The results declared the improved ability of the rBMSCs for osteogenesis and adipogenesis in the presence of antioxidants vitamin C, sodium selenite, and Trolox in growth media. The data indicated that in the presence of vitamin C and sodium selenite, the quality of the cell sheet was risen by reducing the number of senescent cells and high transcription of the stemness genes. Monolayers produced by sodium selenite was in higher-quality than the ones produced by vitamin C.

JOURNAL OF PHOTOCHEMISTRY AND PHOTOBIOLOGY. B, BIOLOGY 2023; 238:112615. [PMID: 36493718 DOI: 10.1016/j.jphotobiol.2022.112615] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2022] [Revised: 11/09/2022] [Accepted: 11/29/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022]
Abstract
One of the novel strategies for bone tissue regeneration is photobiomodulation (PBM) which depends on the red and near-infrared light absorption by mitochondria and may trigger bone tissue regeneration via the production of intracellular ROS and ATP, NO release, etc. It is also important to identify the changes in those signal molecule levels in an in vivo mimicking platform such as 3-Dimensional (3D) Scaffold Free Microtissues (SFMs) that may serve more natural osteogenic differentiation responses to PBM. Herein, we aimed to increase the osteogenic differentiation capability of the co-culture of Human Bone Marrow Stem Cells (hBMSC) and Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVECs) on 3D SFMs by triple light treatment at 655 and 808-nm of wavelengths with the energy densities of 1, 3, and 5 J/cm2. We performed the analysis of cell viability, diameter measurements of SFMs, intracellular ROS production, NO release, ATP activity, temperature measurements, DNA content, ALPase activity, calcium content, and relative gene expressions of ALP, Collagen, and Osteopontin by qRT-PCR. It was found that both wavelengths were effective in terms of the viability of SFMs. 1 and 5 J/cm2 energy densities of both wavelengths increased the SFM diameter with significant changes in intracellular ROS, ATP, and NO levels compared to the control group. We concluded that PBM therapy was successful to induce osteogenesis. 1 J/cm2 at 655 nm of wavelength and 5 J/cm2 at 808 nm of wavelength were the most effective energy densities for osteogenic differentiation on SFMs with triple light treatment.

Abstract
Human periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) have been studied as a promising strategy in regenerative approaches. The protease-activated receptor 1 (PAR1) plays a key role in osteogenesis and has been shown to induce osteogenesis and increase bone formation in PDLSCs. However, little is known about its effects when activated in PDLSCs as a cell sheet construct and how it would impact bone formation as a graft in vivo. Here, PDLSCs were obtained from 3 patients. Groups were divided into control, osteogenic medium and osteogenic medium + PAR1 activation by TFLLR-NH2 peptide. Cell phenotype was determined by flow cytometry and immunofluorescence. Calcium deposition was quantified by Alizarin Red Staining. Cell sheet microstructure was analyzed through light, scanning electron microscopy and histology and transplanted to Balb/c nude mice. Immunohistochemistry for bone sialoprotein (BSP), integrin β1 and collagen type 1 and histological stains (H&E, Van Giesson, Masson’s Trichrome and Von Kossa) were performed on the ex-vivo mineralized tissue after 60 days of implantation in vivo. Ectopic bone formation was evaluated through micro-CT. PAR1 activation increased calcium deposition in vitro as well as BSP, collagen type 1 and integrin β1 protein expression and higher ectopic bone formation (micro-CT) in vivo.

Abstract
Stem cell bioengineering and therapy require different model systems and materials in different stages of development. If a chemically defined biomatrix system can fulfill most tasks, it can minimize the discrepancy among various setups. By screening biomaterials synthesized through a coacervation-mediated self-assembling mechanism, a biomatrix system optimal for 2D human mesenchymal stromal cell (hMSC) culture and osteogenesis is identified. Its utility for hMSC bioengineering is further demonstrated in coating porous bioactive glass scaffolds and nanoparticle synthesis for esiRNA delivery to knock down the SOX-9 gene with high delivery efficiency. The self-assembled injectable system is further utilized for 3D cell culture, segregated co-culture of hMSC with human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) as an angiogenesis model, and 3D bioprinting. Most interestingly, the coating of bioactive glass with the self-assembled biomatrix not only supports the proliferation and osteogenesis of hMSC in the 3D scaffold but also induces the amorphous bioactive glass (BG) scaffold surface to form new apatite crystals resembling bone-shaped plate structures. Thus, the self-assembled biomatrix system can be utilized in various dimensions, scales, and geometries for many different bioengineering applications.

Abstract
When considering regenerative approaches, the efficient creation of a functional vasculature, that can support the metabolic needs of bioengineered tissues, is essential for their survival after implantation. However, it is widely recognized that the post-implantation microenvironment of the engineered tissues is often hypoxic due to insufficient vascularization, resulting in ischemia injury and necrosis. This is one of the main limitations of current tissue engineering applications aiming at replacing significant tissue volumes. Here, we have explored the use of a new biomaterial, the cell-assembled extracellular matrix (CAM), as a biopaper to biofabricate a vascular system. CAM sheets are a unique, fully biological and fully human material that has already shown stable long-term implantation in humans. We demonstrated, for the first time, the use of this unprocessed human ECM as a microperforated biopaper. Using microvalve dispensing bioprinting, concentrated human endothelial cells (30 millions ml-1) were deposited in a controlled geometry in CAM sheets and cocultured with HSFs. Following multilayer assembly, thick ECM-based constructs fused and supported the survival and maturation of capillary-like structures for up to 26 d of culture. Following 3 weeks of subcutaneous implantation in a mice model, constructs showed limited degradative response and the pre-formed vasculature successfully connected with the host circulatory system to establish active perfusion.This mechanically resilient tissue equivalent has great potential for the creation of more complex implantable tissues, where rapid anastomosis is sine qua non for cell survival and efficient tissue integration.

Rebuilding the hematopoietic stem cell niche: Recent developments and future prospects. Acta Biomater 2021; 132:129-148. [PMID: 33813090 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2021.03.061] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2020] [Revised: 03/25/2021] [Accepted: 03/25/2021] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) have proven their clinical relevance in stem cell transplantation to cure patients with hematological disorders. Key to their regenerative potential is their natural microenvironment - their niche - in the bone marrow (BM). Developments in the field of biomaterials enable the recreation of such environments with increasing preciseness in the laboratory. Such artificial niches help to gain a fundamental understanding of the biophysical and biochemical processes underlying the interaction of HSCs with the materials in their environment and the disturbance of this interplay during diseases affecting the BM. Artificial niches also have the potential to multiply HSCs in vitro, to enable the targeted differentiation of HSCs into mature blood cells or to serve as drug-testing platforms. In this review, we will introduce the importance of artificial niches followed by the biology and biophysics of the natural archetype. We will outline how 2D biomaterials can be used to dissect the complexity of the natural niche into individual parameters for fundamental research and how 3D systems evolved from them. We will present commonly used biomaterials for HSC research and their applications. Finally, we will highlight two areas in the field of HSC research, which just started to unlock the possibilities provided by novel biomaterials, in vitro blood production and studying the pathophysiology of the niche in vitro. With these contents, the review aims to give a broad overview of the different biomaterials applied for HSC research and to discuss their potentials, challenges and future directions in the field. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are multipotent cells responsible for maintaining the turnover of all blood cells. They are routinely applied to treat patients with hematological diseases. This high clinical relevance explains the necessity of multiplication or differentiation of HSCs in the laboratory, which is hampered by the missing natural microenvironment - the so called niche. Biomaterials offer the possibility to mimic the niche and thus overcome this hurdle. The review introduces the HSC niche in the bone marrow and discusses the utility of biomaterials in creating artificial niches. It outlines how 2D systems evolved into sophisticated 3D platforms, which opened the gateway to applications such as, expansion of clinically relevant HSCs, in vitro blood production, studying niche pathologies and drug testing.

Mechanistic Illustration: How Newly-Formed Blood Vessels Stopped by the Mineral Blocks of Bone Substitutes Can Be Avoided by Using Innovative Combined Therapeutics. Biomedicines 2021; 9:952. [PMID: 34440156 PMCID: PMC8394928 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines9080952] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2021] [Revised: 07/16/2021] [Accepted: 08/01/2021] [Indexed: 12/30/2022] Open
Abstract
One major limitation for the vascularization of bone substitutes used for filling is the presence of mineral blocks. The newly-formed blood vessels are stopped or have to circumvent the mineral blocks, resulting in inefficient delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the implant. This leads to necrosis within the implant and to poor engraftment of the bone substitute. The aim of the present study is to provide a bone substitute currently used in the clinic with suitably guided vascularization properties. This therapeutic hybrid bone filling, containing a mineral and a polymeric component, is fortified with pro-angiogenic smart nano-therapeutics that allow the release of angiogenic molecules. Our data showed that the improved vasculature within the implant promoted new bone formation and that the newly-formed bone swapped the mineral blocks of the bone substitutes much more efficiently than in non-functionalized bone substitutes. Therefore, we demonstrated that our therapeutic bone substitute is an advanced therapeutical medicinal product, with great potential to recuperate and guide vascularization that is stopped by mineral blocks, and can improve the regeneration of critical-sized bone defects. We have also elucidated the mechanism to understand how the newly-formed vessels can no longer encounter mineral blocks and pursue their course of vasculature, giving our advanced therapeutical bone filling great potential to be used in many applications, by combining filling and nano-regenerative medicine that currently fall short because of problems related to the lack of oxygen and nutrients.

Abstract
In the field of cell therapy, the interest in cell sheet technology is increasing. To determine the cell sheet harvesting time requires experience and practice, and different factors could change the harvesting time (variability among donors and culture media, between cell culture dishes, initial cell seeding density). We have developed a device that can measure the transmittance of the multilayer cell sheets, using a light emitting diode and a light detector, to estimate the harvesting time. The transmittance of the adipose stromal cells cell sheets (ASCCS) was measured every other day as soon as the cells were confluent, up to 12 days. The ASCCS, from three different initial seeding densities, were harvested at 8, 10, and 12 days after seeding. Real-time PCR and immunostaining confirmed the expression of specific cell markers (CD29, CD73, CD90, CD105, HLA-A, HLA-DR), but less than the isolated adipose stromal cells. The number of cells per cell sheets, the average thickness per cell sheet, and the corresponding transmittance showed no correlation. Decrease of the transmittance seems to be correlated with the cell sheet maturation. For the first time, we are reporting the success development of a device to estimate ASCCS harvesting time based on their transmittance.

Abstract
Insufficient vascularization during tissue repair is often associated with poor clinical outcomes. This is a concern especially when patients have critical-sized injuries, where the size of the defect restricts vascularity, or even in small defects that have to be treated under special conditions, such as after radiation therapy (relevant to tumor resection) that hinders vascularity. In fact, poor vascularization is one of the major obstacles for clinical application of tissue engineering methods in soft tissue repair. As a key issue, lack of graft integration, caused by inadequate vascularization after implantation, can lead to graft failure. Moreover, poor vascularization compromises the viability of cells seeded in deep portions of scaffolds/graft materials, due to hypoxia and insufficient nutrient supply. In this article we aim to review vascularization strategies employed in tissue engineering techniques to repair soft tissues. For this purpose, we start by providing a brief overview of the main events during the physiological wound healing process in soft tissues. Then, we discuss how tissue repair can be achieved through tissue engineering, and considerations with regards to the choice of scaffold materials, culture conditions, and vascularization techniques. Next, we highlight the importance of vascularization, along with strategies and methods of prevascularization of soft tissue equivalents, particularly cell-based prevascularization. Lastly, we present a summary of commonly used in vitro methods during the vascularization of tissue-engineered soft tissue constructs.

Abstract
For the survival and integration of complex large-sized tissue-engineered (TE) organ constructs that exceed the maximal nutrients and oxygen diffusion distance required for cell survival, graft (pre)vascularization to ensure medium or blood supply is crucial. To achieve this, the morphology and functionality of the microcapillary bed should be mimicked by incorporating vascular cell populations, including endothelium and mural cells. Pericytes play a crucial role in microvascular function, blood vessel stability, angiogenesis, and blood pressure regulation. In addition, tissue-specific pericytes are important in maintaining specific functions in different organs, including vitamin A storage in the liver, renin production in the kidneys and maintenance of the blood-brain-barrier. Together with their multipotential differentiation capacity, this makes pericytes the preferred cell type for application in TE grafts. The use of a tissue-specific pericyte cell population that matches the TE organ may benefit organ function. In this review, we provide an overview of the literature for graft (pre)-vascularization strategies and highlight the possible advantages of using tissue-specific pericytes for specific TE organ grafts.

Abstract
Insufficient donor dermis and the shortage of three-dimensional vascular networks are the main limitations in the tissue-engineered dermis (TED). To solve these problems, we initially constructed pre-vascularized bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell sheet (PBMCS) and pre-vascularized fibroblasts cell sheet (PFCS) by cell sheet technology, and then superimposed or folded them together to construct a pre-vascularized TED (PTED), aiming to mimic the real dermis structure. The constructed PTED was implanted in nude mice dorsal dermis-defect wound and the wound-healing effect was quantified at Days 1, 7 and 14 via the methods of histochemistry and immunohistochemistry. The results showed that PTED could rapidly promote the wound closure, especially at Day 14, and the wound-healing rate of three-layer PTED could reach 97.2% (P < 0.01), which was faster than the blank control group (89.1%), PBMCS (92.4%), PFCS (93.8%) and six-layer PTED (92.3%). In addition, the vessel density in the PTED group was higher than the other groups on the 14th day. Taken together, it is proved that the PTED, especially three-layer PTED, is more conducive to the full-thickness dermis-defect repair and the construction of the three-dimensional vascular networks, indicating its potential application in dermis-defect repair.

Abstract
The powerful ability of human amnion-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hAMSCs) to promote angiogenesis suggests that they may facilitate angiogenesis-associated therapeutic strategies. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying hAMSC-induced angiogenesis remain largely unknown. The present study results suggested that enhanced migration and tube formation in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) was induced by conditioned medium from hAMSCs (hAMSC-CM). In addition, culture with this conditioned medium resulted in the increased expression of circular RNA ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 10 (circ-ABCB10) and vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA). In the present study genes related to thecirc-ABCB10/microRNA (miR)-29b-3p/VEGFA pathway were predicted using bioinformatics software, and further investigated using in vitro luciferase reporter assays. Loss-of-function assays were performed using small interfering RNAs (siRNAs). The results suggested that siRNA-silencing of circ-ABCB10 in HUVECs weakened migration and tube formation of HUVECs following hAMSC-CM treatment and reduced the levels of VEGFA expression. Treatment with an miR-29b-3p inhibitor could largely rescue these effects in HUVECs, following circ-ABCB10 silencing. The present study results suggest that the circ-ABCB10/miR-29b-3p/VEGFA pathway may be involved in the pro-angiogenic role of hAMSC-CM in HUVECs.

Abstract
Stem cell-based regenerative medicine is a promising approach for tissue reconstruction. However, a large number of cells are needed in a typical clinical study, where conventional monolayer cultures might pose a limitation for scale-up. The purpose of this review was to systematically assess the application of microcarriers in Mesenchymal Stem Cell cultures. A comprehensive search was conducted in Medline via Ebscohost, Pubmed, and Scopus, and relevant studies published between 2015 and 2019 were selected. The literature search identified 53 related studies, but only 14 articles met the inclusion criteria. These include 7 utilised commercially available microcarriers, while the rest were formulated based on different surface characteristics, all of which are discussed in this review. Current applications of microcarriers were focused on MSC expansion and induction of MSCs into different lineages. These studies demonstrated that MSCs could proliferate in a microcarrier culture system in-fold compared to monolayer cultures, and the culture system could simulate a three-dimensional environment which induces cell differentiation. However, detailed studies are still required before this system were to be adapted into the scale of GMP manufacturing.

Circ-100290 Positively Regulates Angiogenesis Induced by Conditioned Medium of Human Amnion-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Through miR-449a/eNOS and miR-449a/VEGFA Axes. Int J Biol Sci 2020; 16:2131-2144.

Abstract
The powerful pro-angiogenic capacity of human amnion-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hAMSCs) could be a valuable therapeutic angiogenesis strategy for bone regeneration. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this process remain largely unknown. Herein, we report upregulated expression of circular RNA 100290 (circ-100290) and an enhanced angiogenic phenotype of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) incubated with conditioned medium from hAMSCs (hAMSC-CM), whereas downregulation of circ-100290 reversed the pro-angiogenic capacity of HUVECs induced by hAMSC-CM. Circ-100290/microRNA 449a (miR-449a)/endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and circ-100290/miR-449a/vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) axes were predicted by a bioinformatics method and subsequently verified by luciferase reporter assays in vitro. Gain- or loss-of-function assays were then performed using small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) targeting circ-100290, or a plasmid overexpressing circ-100290. As expected, downregulation of circ-100290 in HUVECs led to weakened tube formation and migration of HUVECs following hAMSC-CM treatment, along with decreased expression of eNOS and VEGFA. In contrast, upregulation of circ-100290 led to enhanced tube formation and migration of HUVECs following hAMSC-CM treatment, along with increased expression of eNOS and VEGFA. Furthermore, a miR-449a inhibitor could largely rescue the effect of circ-100290 silencing on HUVECs, whereas a miR-449a mimic could significantly rescue the effect of overexpressing circ-100290 on HUVECs. Functional assays using eNOS or VEGF receptor inhibitors indicated eNOS and VEGFA may be important targets of miR-449a. Finally, a Matrigel plug assay revealed weakened angiogenesis when circ-100290 was silenced in HUVECs, but enhanced angiogenesis when circ-100290 was overexpressed in vivo. Our results suggest that circ-100290 might function via miR-449a/eNOS and miR-449a/VEGFA axes in the pro-angiogenic role of hAMSC-CM on HUVECs.

Abstract
Extrusion-based bioprinting of hydrogels in a granular secondary gel enables the fabrication of cell-laden three-dimensional (3D) constructs in an anatomically accurate manner, which is challenging using conventional extrusion-based bioprinting processes. In this study, carbohydrazide-modified gelatin (Gel-CDH) was synthesized and deposited into a new multifunctional support bath consisting of gelatin microparticles suspended in an oxidized alginate (OAlg) solution. During extrusion, Gel-CDH and OAlg were rapidly cross-linked because of the Schiff base formation between aldehyde groups of OAlg and amino groups of Gel-CDH, which has not been demonstrated in the domain of 3D bioprinting before. Rheological results indicated that hydrogels with lower OAlg to Gel-CDH ratios possessed superior mechanical rigidity. Different 3D geometrically intricate constructs were successfully created upon the determination of optimal bioprinting parameters. Human mesenchymal stem cells and human umbilical vein endothelial cells were also bioprinted at physiologically relevant cell densities. The presented study has offered a novel strategy for bioprinting of natural polymer-based hydrogels into 3D complex-shaped biomimetic constructs, which eliminated the need for cytotoxic supplements as external cross-linkers or additional cross-linking processes, therefore expanding the availability of bioinks.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore a new strategy for constructing three-dimensional dermoid tissue in vitro by using cell sheets technology. METHODS Rabbit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (rBMSCs) were isolated from bone marrow of New Zealand white rabbits and cultured by whole bone marrow adherent method. Human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) were cultured and passaged in vitro. The 2nd generation rBMSCs and the 3rd generation HDFs were cultured in a culture dish for 2 weeks with cell sheets conditioned medium respectively to obtain a monolayer cell sheets. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were inoculated on rBMSCs sheet to construct pre-vascularized cell sheet. During the culture period, the morphological changes of the cell sheet were observed under an inverted phase contrast microscope. At 1, 3, 7, and 14 days, HE staining and CD31 immunofluorescence staining were performed to observe the cell distribution and microvascular network formation. The rBMSCs sheet was used as control. The pre-vascularized cell sheet (experimental group) and rBMSCs sheet (control group) cultured for 7 days were placed in the middle of two HDFs sheets, respectively, to prepare three-dimensional dermoid tissues. After 24 hours of culture, CD31 immunofluorescence staining and collagen type Ⅰ and collagen type Ⅲ immunohistochemical stainings were performed to evaluate cell distribution and collagen expression. RESULTS HDFs and rBMSCs sheets were successfully prepared after 2 weeks of cell culture. After inoculation of HUVECs on rBMSCs sheet for 3 days, HUVECs could be seen to rearrange on rBMSCs sheet and forming vacuoles. The reticular structure was visible at 7 days and more obvious at 14 days. The formation of vacuoles between the cell sheets was observed by HE staining, and the vacuoles became more and more obvious, the thickness of the membranes increased significantly with time. CD31 immunofluorescence staining showed the microvascular lumen formation. However, only the thickness of rBMSCs sheet increasing was observed, with no changes in cell morphology or cavitation structure. The three-dimensional dermoid tissue observation showed that the endothelial cells in the experimental group were positive expressions, and the rBMSCs, HDFs, and HUVECs cells were arranged neatly. The endothelial cells were negative expressions and randomly arranged in the control group. The collagen type Ⅰ and collagen type Ⅲ were positive expression in the experimental group and the control group. But compared with control group, experimental group presented a "honeycomb" network connection, where the matrix was distributed regularly, and cells were arranged tightly. The difference in the expression of collagen type Ⅰ and collagen type Ⅲ between the experimental group and the control group was not significant ( P>0.05). CONCLUSION Three-dimensional dermoid tissue is successfully constructed by using cell sheet technology. The cell matrix distribution of the pre-vascularized cell sheet constructed by HUVECs and rBMSCs sheet is relatively regular, which has the potential to form tissue engineered dermis.

Abstract
Articular cartilage is a remarkable tissue whose sophisticated composition and architecture allow it to withstand complex stresses within the joint. Once injured, cartilage lacks the capacity to self-repair, and injuries often progress to joint wide osteoarthritis (OA) resulting in debilitating pain and loss of mobility. Current palliative and surgical management provides short-term symptom relief, but almost always progresses to further deterioration in the long term. A number of bioactive factors, including drugs, corticosteroids, and growth factors, have been utilized in the clinic, in clinical trials, or in emerging research studies to alleviate the inflamed joint environment or to promote new cartilage tissue formation. However, these therapies remain limited in their duration and effectiveness. For this reason, current efforts are focused on improving the localization, retention, and activity of these bioactive factors. The purpose of this review is to highlight recent advances in drug delivery for the treatment of damaged or degenerated cartilage. First, we summarize material and modification techniques to improve the delivery of these factors to damaged tissue and enhance their retention and action within the joint environment. Second, we discuss recent studies using novel methods to promote new cartilage formation via biofactor delivery, that have potential for improving future long-term clinical outcomes. Lastly, we review the emerging field of orthobiologics, using delivered and endogenous cells as drug-delivering "factories" to preserve and restore joint health. Enhancing drug delivery systems can improve both restorative and regenerative treatments for damaged cartilage. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Articular cartilage is a remarkable and sophisticated tissue that tolerates complex stresses within the joint. When injured, cartilage cannot self-repair, and these injuries often progress to joint-wide osteoarthritis, causing patients debilitating pain and loss of mobility. Current palliative and surgical treatments only provide short-term symptomatic relief and are limited with regards to efficiency and efficacy. Bioactive factors, such as drugs and growth factors, can improve outcomes to either stabilize the degenerated environment or regenerate replacement tissue. This review highlights recent advances and novel techniques to enhance the delivery, localization, retention, and activity of these factors, providing an overview of the cartilage drug delivery field that can guide future research in restorative and regenerative treatments for damaged cartilage.

Abstract
Bone defects caused by trauma, tumour resection, infection and congenital deformities, together with articular cartilage defects and cartilage-subchondral bone complex defects caused by trauma and degenerative diseases, remain great challenges for clinicians. Novel strategies utilising cell sheet technology to enhance bone and cartilage regeneration are being developed. The cell sheet technology has shown great clinical potential in regenerative medicine due to its effective preservation of cell-cell connections and extracellular matrix and its scaffold-free nature. This review will first introduce several widely used cell sheet preparation systems, including traditional approaches and recent improvements, as well as their advantages and shortcomings. Recent advances in utilising cell sheet technology to regenerate bone or cartilage defects and bone-cartilage complex defects will be reviewed. The key challenges and future research directions for the application of cell sheet technology in bone and cartilage regeneration will also be discussed.

Abstract
Design and fabrication of effective biomimetic vasculatures constitutes a relevant and yet unsolved challenge, lying at the heart of tissue repair and regeneration strategies. Even if cell growth is achieved in 3D tissue scaffolds or advanced implants, tissue viability inevitably requires vascularization, as diffusion can only transport nutrients and eliminate debris within a few hundred microns. This engineered vasculature may need to mimic the intricate branching geometry of native microvasculature, referred to herein as vascular complexity, to efficiently deliver blood and recreate critical interactions between the vascular and perivascular cells as well as parenchymal tissues. This review first describes the importance of vascular complexity in labs- and organs-on-chips, the biomechanical and biochemical signals needed to create and maintain a complex vasculature, and the limitations of current 2D, 2.5D, and 3D culture systems in recreating vascular complexity. We then critically review available strategies for design and biofabrication of complex vasculatures in cell culture platforms, labs- and organs-on-chips, and tissue engineering scaffolds, highlighting their advantages and disadvantages. Finally, challenges and future directions are outlined with the hope of inspiring researchers to create the reliable, efficient and sustainable tools needed for design and biofabrication of complex vasculatures.

Abstract
The advances in biotechnology, biomechanics, and biomaterials can be used to develop organ models that aim to accurately emulate their natural counterparts. Heart disease, one of the leading causes of death in modern society, has attracted particular attention in the field of tissue engineering. To avoid incorrect prognosis of patients suffering from heart disease, or from adverse consequences of classical therapeutic approaches, as well as to address the shortage of heart donors, new solutions are urgently needed. Biotechnological advances in cardiac tissue engineering from a bioreactor perspective, in which recapitulation of functional, biochemical, and physiological characteristics of the cardiac tissue can be used to recreate its natural microenvironment, are reviewed. Detailed examples of functional and preclinical applications of engineered cardiac constructs and the state-of-the-art systems from a bioreactor perspective are provided. Finally, the current trends and future directions of the field for its translation to clinical settings are discussed.

Abstract
Regeneration is a fundamental process attributed to the functions of adult stem cells. In the last decades, delivery of suspended adult stem cells is widely adopted in regenerative medicine as a leading means of cell therapy. However, adult stem cells cannot complete the task of human body regeneration effectively by themselves as far as they need a receptive microenvironment (the niche) to engraft and perform properly. Understanding the mechanisms underlying mammalian regeneration leads us to an assumption that improved outcomes of cell therapy require a specific microenvironment that is generated in damaged areas prior to stem cell delivery. To a certain extent, it may be achieved by the delivery of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), not in dispersed form, but rather in self-organized cell sheets (CS) ⁻ tissue-like structures comprised of viable cells and microenvironment components: extracellular matrix and soluble factors deposited in the matrix. In this review, we highlight the potential role of MSCs as regeneration organizers and speculate that this function emerges in CS. This concept shifts our understanding of the therapeutic mechanism underlying a widely known CS-based delivery method for regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Background The reconstruction of bone defects is often impaired by radiotherapy since bone quality is compromised by radiation. This study aims to investigate the therapeutic efficacy of the composite cell sheets-bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) sheets cocultured with endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs)-in the healing of irradiated bone defects and the biological effects of EPCs on the osteogenic properties of BMSC sheets. Methods BMSCs and EPCs were isolated from rat bone marrow. BMSCs were used to form cell sheets by the vitamin C inducing method. EPCs were seeded on BMSC sheets to make EPCs–BMSC sheets. Osteogenesis of EPCs–BMSC sheets and BMSC sheets were tested. In vitro osteogenesis tests included ALP, Alizarin Red S, Sirius Red staining, qRT-PCR and Western blot analysis after 3 and 7 days of osteogenic incubation. Subcutaneous osteogenesis was tested by H&E staining and immunohistochemical staining 8 weeks after transplantation. EPCs–BMSC sheets and BMSC sheets were used in the 3 mm defects of non-irradiated and irradiated rat tibias. Micro-CT and histological analysis were used to test the healing of bone defects 4 and 8 weeks after transplantation. Results EPCs–BMSC sheets showed enhanced osteogenic differentiation in vitro with increased expression of osteoblastic markers and osteogenesis related staining compared with BMSC sheets. In subcutaneous osteogenesis test, EPCs–BMSC sheets formed larger areas of new bone and blood vessels. The EPCs–BMSC group had the highest volume of newly formed bone in the defect area of irradiated tibias. Conclusions EPCs improved the osteogenic differentiation of BMSC Sheets and enhanced the ectopic bone formation. EPCs–BMSC sheets promoted bone healing in irradiated rat tibias. EPCs–BMSC sheets are potentially useful in the reconstruction of bone defect after radiotherapy.

Abstract
Currently, there are no synthetic or biologic materials suitable for long-term treatment of large tracheal defects. A successful tracheal replacement must (1) have radial rigidity to prevent airway collapse during respiration, (2) contain an immunoprotective respiratory epithelium, and (3) integrate with the host vasculature to support epithelium viability. Herein, biopolymer microspheres are used to deliver chondrogenic growth factors to human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) seeded in a custom mold that self-assemble into cartilage rings, which can be fused into tubes. These rings and tubes can be fabricated with tunable wall thicknesses and lumen diameters with promising mechanical properties for airway collapse prevention. Epithelialized cartilage is developed by establishing a spatially defined composite tissue composed of human epithelial cells on the surface of an hMSC-derived cartilage sheet. Prevascular rings comprised of human umbilical vein endothelial cells and hMSCs are fused with cartilage rings to form prevascular-cartilage composite tubes, which are then coated with human epithelial cells, forming a tri-tissue construct. When prevascular- cartilage tubes are implanted subcutaneously in mice, the prevascular structures anastomose with host vasculature, demonstrated by their ability to be perfused. This microparticle-cell self-assembly strategy is promising for engineering complex tissues such as a multi-tissue composite trachea.

Abstract
Self-sustainability after implantation is one of the critical obstacles facing large engineered tissues. A preformed functional vascular network provides an effective solution for solving the mass transportation problem. With the support of mural cells, endothelial cells (ECs) can form microvessels within engineered tissues. As an important mural cell, human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) not only stabilize the engineered microvessel network, but also preserve their multi-potency when grown under optimal culture conditions. A prevascularized hMSC/extracellular matrix (ECM) sheet fabricated by the combination of hMSCs, ECs and a naturally derived nanofibrous ECM scaffold offers great opportunity for engineering mechanically strong and completely biological three-dimensional prevascularized tissues. The objective of this study was to create a prevascularized hMSC/ECM sheet by co-culturing ECs and hMSCs on a nanofibrous ECM scaffold. Physiologically low oxygen (2% O2 ) was introduced during the 7 day hMSC culture to preserve the stemness of hMSCs and thereby their capability to secrete angiogenic factors. The ECs were then included to form microvessels under normal oxygen (20% O2 ) for up to 7 days. The results showed that a branched and mature vascular network was formed in the co-culture condition. Angiogenic factors vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1) were significantly increased by low-oxygen culture of hMSCs, which further stabilized and supported the maturation of microvessels. A differentiation assay of the prevascularized ECM scaffold demonstrated a retained hMSC multi-potency in the hypoxia cultured samples. The prevascularized hMSC/ECM sheet holds great promise for engineering three-dimensional prevascularized tissues for diverse applications.

Abstract
A dental implant is used to replace a missing tooth. Fixing the implant in its natural position requires the engineering of a substantial amount of conformal bone growth inside the implant socket, osseointegration. However, this conventional implant attachment does not include the periodontal ligament (PDL), which has a fundamental role in cushioning high mechanical loads. As a result, tooth implants have a shorter lifetime than the natural tooth and have a high chance of infections. We have engineered a "bio-implant" that provides a living PDL connection for titanium implants. The bio-implant consists of a hydroxyapatite coated titanium screw, ensheathed in cell sheets made from immortalized human periodontal cells. Bio-implants were transplanted into the upper first molar region of a tooth-extraction mouse model. Within 8 weeks the bio-implant generated fibrous connective tissue, a localised blood vessel network and new bone growth fused into the alveolar bone socket. The study presents a bio-implant engineered with human cells, specialised for the root connection, and resulted in the partial reconstruction of a naturalised tooth attachment complex (periodontium), consisting of all the principal tissue types, cementum, PDL and alveolar bone.

Abstract
Angiogenesis is a key factor in early stages of wound healing and is crucial for the repair of vascularized tissues such as the bone. However, supporting timely revascularization of the defect site still presents a clinical challenge. Tissue engineering approaches delivering endothelial cells or prevascularized constructs may overcome this problem. In the current study, we investigated platelet-rich plasma (PRP) gels as autologous, injectable cell delivery systems for prevascularized constructs. PRP was produced from human thrombocyte concentrates. GFP-expressing human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were encapsulated in PRP gels in different proportions. The formation of cellular networks was assessed over 14 days by time-lapse microscopy, gene expression analysis, and immunohistology. PRP gels presented a favorable environment for the formation of a three-dimensional (3D) cellular network. The formation of these networks was apparent as early as 3 days after seeding. Networks increased in complexity and branching over time but were only stable in HUVEC-MSC cocultures. The high cell viability together with the 3D capillary-like networks observed at early time points suggests that PRP can be used as an autologous and proangiogenic cell delivery system for the repair of vascularized tissues such as the bone.

Engineering biomimetic periosteum with β-TCP scaffolds to promote bone formation in calvarial defects of rats. Stem Cell Res Ther 2017; 8:134. [PMID: 28583167 PMCID: PMC5460346 DOI: 10.1186/s13287-017-0592-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2016] [Revised: 04/26/2017] [Accepted: 05/18/2017] [Indexed: 01/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Background There is a critical need for the management of large bone defects. The purpose of this study was to engineer a biomimetic periosteum and to combine this with a macroporous β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) scaffold for bone tissue regeneration. Methods Rat bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (rBMSCs) were harvested and cultured in different culture media to form undifferentiated rBMSC sheets (undifferentiated medium (UM)) and osteogenic cell sheets (osteogenic medium (OM)). Simultaneously, rBMSCs were differentiated to induced endothelial-like cells (iECs), and the iECs were further cultured on a UM to form a vascularized cell sheet. At the same time, flow cytometry was used to detect the conversion rates of rBMSCs to iECs. The pre-vascularized cell sheet (iECs/UM) and the osteogenic cell sheet (OM) were stacked together to form a biomimetic periosteum with two distinct layers, which mimicked the fibrous layer and cambium layer of native periosteum. The biomimetic periostea were wrapped onto porous β-TCP scaffolds (BP/β-TCP) and implanted in the calvarial bone defects of rats. As controls, autologous periostea with β-TCP (AP/β-TCP) and β-TCP alone were implanted in the calvarial defects of rats, with a no implantation group as another control. At 2, 4, and 8 weeks post-surgery, implants were retrieved and X-ray, microcomputed tomography (micro-CT), histology, and immunohistochemistry staining analyses were performed. Results Flow cytometry results showed that rBMSCs were partially differentiated into iECs with a 35.1% conversion rate in terms of CD31. There were still 20.97% rBMSCs expressing CD90. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results indicated that cells from the wrapped cell sheet on the β-TCP scaffold apparently migrated into the pores of the β-TCP scaffold. The histology and immunohistochemistry staining results from in vivo implantation indicated that the BP/β-TCP and AP/β-TCP groups promoted the formation of blood vessels and new bone tissues in the bone defects more than the other two control groups. In addition, micro-CT showed that more new bone tissue formed in the BP/β-TCP and AP/β-TCP groups than the other groups. Conclusions Inducing rBMSCs to iECs could be a good strategy to obtain an endothelial cell source for prevascularization. Our findings indicate that the biomimetic periosteum with porous β-TCP scaffold has a similar ability to promote osteogenesis and angiogenesis in vivo compared to the autologous periosteum. This function could result from the double layers of biomimetic periosteum. The prevascularized cell sheet served a mimetic fibrous layer and the osteogenic cell sheet served a cambium layer of native periosteum. The biomimetic periosteum with a porous ceramic scaffold provides a new promising method for bone healing.

Abstract
The conventional tissue engineering is based on seeding of macroporous scaffold on its surface ("top-down" approach). The main limitation is poor cell viability in the middle of the scaffold due to poor diffusion of oxygen and nutrients and insufficient vascularization. Layer-by-Layer (LBL) bioassembly is based on "bottom-up" approach, which considers assembly of small cellularized blocks. The aim of this work was to evaluate proliferation and differentiation of human bone marrow stromal cells (HBMSCs) and endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) in two and three dimensions (2D, 3D) using a LBL assembly of polylactic acid (PLA) scaffolds fabricated by 3D printing. 2D experiments have shown maintain of cell viability on PLA, especially when a co-cuture system was used, as well as adequate morphology of seeded cells. Early osteoblastic and endothelial differentiations were observed and cell proliferation was increased after 7 days of culture. In 3D, cell migration was observed between layers of LBL constructs, as well as an osteoblastic differentiation. These results indicate that LBL assembly of PLA layers could be suitable for BTE, in order to promote homogenous cell distribution inside the scaffold and gene expression specific to the cells implanted in the case of co-culture system.

Abstract
In the presented study, we have developed a synthetic strategy allowing a gradual variation of a polylactide arms' length, which later influences the micromorphology of the scaffold surface, formed by a two-photon polymerization technique. It has been demonstrated that the highest number of cells is present on the scaffolds with the roughest surface made of the polylactide with longer arms (PLA760), and osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells is most pronounced on such scaffolds. According to the results of biological testing, the PLA760 scaffolds were implanted into a created cranial defect in a mouse for an in vivo assessment of the bone tissue formation. The in vivo experiments have shown that, by week 10, deposition of calcium phosphate particles occurs in the scaffold at the defect site, as well as, the formation of a new bone and ingrowth of blood vessels from the surrounding tissues. These results demonstrate that the cross-linked microstructured tetrafunctional polylactide scaffolds are promising microstructures for bone regeneration in tissue engineering.

Effect of cryopreservation on proliferation and differentiation of periodontal ligament stem cell sheets. Stem Cell Res Ther 2017; 8:77.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cryopreservation has been extensively applied to the long-term storage of a diverse range of biological materials. However, no comprehensive study is currently available on the cryopreservation of periodontal ligament stem cell (PDLSC) sheets which have been suggested as excellent transplant materials for periodontal tissue regeneration. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of cryopreservation on the structural integrity and functional viability of PDLSC sheets. METHODS PDLSC sheets prepared from extracted human molars were divided into two groups: the cryopreservation group (cPDLSC sheets) and the freshly prepared control group (fPDLSC sheets). The cPDLSC sheets were cryopreserved in a solution consisting of 90% fetal bovine serum and 10% dimethyl sulfoxide for 3 months. Cell viability and cell proliferation rates of PDLSCs in both groups were evaluated by cell viability assay and 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, respectively. The multilineage differentiation potentials of the cells were assessed by von Kossa staining and Oil Red O staining. The chromosomal stability was examined by karyotype analysis. Moreover, the cell sheets in each group were transplanted subcutaneously into the dorsal site of nude mice, after which Sirius Red staining was performed to analyze the efficiency of tissue regeneration. RESULTS The PDLSCs derived from both groups of cell sheets showed no significant difference in their viability, proliferative capacities, and multilineage differentiation potentials, as well as chromosomal stability. Furthermore, transplantation experiments based on a mouse model demonstrated that the cPDLSC sheets were equally effective in generating viable osteoid tissues in vivo as their freshly prepared counterparts. In both cases, the regenerated tissues showed similar network patterns of bone-like matrix. CONCLUSIONS Our results offer convincing evidence that cryopreservation does not alter the biological properties of PDLSC sheets and could enhance their clinical utility in tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Unlike many other postnatal tissues, bone can regenerate and repair itself; nevertheless, this capacity can be overcome. Traditionally, surgical reconstructive strategies have implemented autologous, allogeneic, and prosthetic materials. Autologous bone--the best option--is limited in supply and also mandates an additional surgical procedure. In regenerative tissue engineering, there are myriad issues to consider in the creation of a functional, implantable replacement tissue. Importantly, there must exist an easily accessible, abundant cell source with the capacity to express the phenotype of the desired tissue, and a biocompatible scaffold to deliver the cells to the damaged region. A literature review was performed using PubMed; peer-reviewed publications were screened for relevance in order to identify key advances in stem and progenitor cell contribution to the field of bone tissue engineering. In this review, we briefly introduce various adult stem cells implemented in bone tissue engineering such as mesenchymal stem cells (including bone marrow- and adipose-derived stem cells), endothelial progenitor cells, and induced pluripotent stem cells. We then discuss numerous advances associated with their application and subsequently focus on technological advances in the field, before addressing key regenerative strategies currently used in clinical practice. Stem and progenitor cell implementation in bone tissue engineering strategies have the ability to make a major impact on regenerative medicine and reduce patient morbidity. As the field of regenerative medicine endeavors to harness the body's own cells for treatment, scientific innovation has led to great advances in stem cell-based therapies in the past decade.

Abstract
Scaffold-free cell sheet engineering (CSE) is a new technology to regenerate injured or damaged tissues, which has shown promising potential in tissue regeneration. CSE uses a thermosensitive surface to form a dense cell sheet that can be detached when temperature decreases. The detached cell sheet can be stacked on top of one another according to the thickness of cell sheet for the specific tissue regeneration application. One of the key challenges of tissue engineering is vascularization. CSE technique provides excellent microenvironment for vascularization since the technique can maintain the intact cell matrix that is crucial for angiogenesis. In this review paper, we will highlight the principle technique of CSE and its application in tissue regeneration.

Abstract
The repair and reconstruction of large bone defects remains as a significant clinical challenge mainly due to the insufficient vascularization. The prefabrication of vascular network based on cell sheet technique brings a promising potential for sufficient vascularization due to rich extracellular matrix (ECM) of cell sheets. However, the effect of different cell sheet ECM micro-environment on the formation of a vascular network has not been well understood. Here our goal is to study the effect of different cell sheets on the formation of a vascular network. First we cultured human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) under two culture conditions to obtain osteogenic differentiated cell sheet (ODCS) and undifferentiated cell sheet (UDCS), respectively. Then the human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were seeded onto the surface of the two sheets at different seeding densities to fabricate pre-vascularized cell sheets. Our results indicated that the two sheets facilitated the alignment of HUVECs and promoted the formation of vascular networks. Quantitative analysis showed that the number of networks in ODCS was higher than that in the UDCS. The ECM of the two sheets was remodeled and rearranged during the tubulogenesis process. Furthermore, results showed that the optimal seeding density of HUVECs was 5×10(4)cell/cm(2). In summary, these results suggest that the vascularized ODCS has a promising potential to construct pre-vascularized tissue for bone repair.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are thought to be the most attractive type of cells for bone repair. However, much still remains unknown about MSCs and needs to be clarified before this treatment can be widely applied in the clinical practice. The purpose of this study was to establish the involvement of allogeneic MSCs in the bone formation in vivo, using a model of transgenic mice and genetically labeled cells. Polylactide scaffolds with hydroxyapatite obtained by surface selective laser sintering were used. The scaffolds were sterilized and individually seeded with MSCs from the bone marrow of 5-week-old GFP(+) transgenic C57/Bl6 or GFP(-)C57/Bl6 mice. 4-mm-diameter critical-size defects were created on the calvarial bone of mice using a dental bur. Immediately after the generation of the cranial bone defects, the scaffolds with or without seeded cells were implanted into the injury sites. The cranial bones were harvested at either 6 or 12 weeks after the implantation. GFP(+) transgenic mice having scaffolds with unlabeled MSCs were used for the observation of the host cell migration into the scaffold. GFP(-) mice having scaffolds with GFP(+)MSCs were used to assess the functioning of the seeded MSCs. The obtained data demonstrated that allogeneic MSCs were found on the scaffolds 6 and 12 weeks post-implantation. By week 12, a newly formed bone tissue from the seeded cells was observed, without an osteogenic pre-differentiation. The host cells did not appear, and the control scaffolds without seeded cells remained empty. Besides, a possibility of vessel formation from seeded MSCs was shown, without a preliminary cell cultivation under controlled conditions.

Abstract
One of the major problems with bone tissue engineering is the development of a rapid vascularization after implantation to supply the growing osteoblast cells with the nutrients to grow and survive as well as to remove waste products. It has been demonstrated that capillary-like structures produced in vitro will anastomose rapidly after implantation and become functioning blood vessels. For this reason, in recent years many studies have examined a variety of human osteoblast and endothelial cell co-culture systems in order to distribute osteoblasts on all parts of the bone scaffold and at the same time provide conditions for the endothelial cells to migrate to form a network of capillary-like structures throughout the osteoblast-colonized scaffold. The movement and proliferation of endothelial cells to form capillary-like structures is known as angiogenesis and is dependent on a variety of pro-angiogenic factors. This review summarizes human 2- and 3-D co-culture models to date, the types and origins of cells used in the co-cultures and the proangiogenic factors that have been identified in the co-culture models.

Abstract
Bypass surgeries using native vessels rely on the availability of autologous veins and arteries. An alternative to those vessels could be tissue-engineered vascular constructs made by self-organized tissue sheets. This paper intends to evaluate the potential use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) isolated from two different sources: (1) bone marrow-derived MSCs and (2) umbilical cord blood-derived MSCs. When cultured in vitro, a proportion of those cells differentiated into smooth muscle cell- (SMC-) like cells and expressed contraction associated proteins. Moreover, these cells assembled into manipulable tissue sheets when cultured in presence of ascorbic acid. Tubular vessels were then produced by rolling those tissue sheets on a mandrel. The architecture, contractility, and mechanical resistance of reconstructed vessels were compared with tissue-engineered media and adventitia produced from SMCs and dermal fibroblasts, respectively. Histology revealed a collagenous extracellular matrix and the contractile responses measured for these vessels were stronger than dermal fibroblasts derived constructs although weaker than SMCs-derived constructs. The burst pressure of bone marrow-derived vessels was higher than SMCs-derived ones. These results reinforce the versatility of the self-organization approach since they demonstrate that it is possible to recapitulate a contractile media layer from MSCs without the need of exogenous scaffolding material.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the angiogenic capacity and proteolytic mechanism of coculture using human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells (hAMSCs) with human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in vivo and in vitro by comparing to those of coculture using bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells with HUVEC. For the in vivo experiment, cells (HUVEC-monoculture, HUVEC-hAMSC coculture, and HUVEC-BMMSC coculture) were seeded in fibrin gels and injected subcutaneously in nude mice. The samples were collected on days 7 and 14 and histologically analyzed by H&E and CD31 staining. CD31-positive staining percentage and vessel-like structure (VLS) density were evaluated as quantitative parameters for angiogenesis. The increases of CD31-positive staining area and VLS density in both HUVEC-hAMSC group and HUVEC-BMMSC group were found between two time points, while obvious decline of those was observed in HUVEC-only group. For the in vitro experiment, we utilized the same 3D culture model to investigate the proteolytic mechanism related to capillary formation. Intensive vascular networks formed by HUVECs were associated with hAMSCs or BMMSCs and related to MMP2 and MMP9. In conclusion, hAMSCs shared similar capacity and proteolytic mechanism with BMMSCs on neovascularization.
