Abstract
BACKGROUND The field of tissue engineering has remarkably progressed through the integration of nanotechnology and the widespread use of magnetic nanoparticles. These nanoparticles have resulted in innovative methods for three-dimensional (3D) cell culture platforms, including the generation of spheroids, organoids, and tissue-mimetic cultures, where they play a pivotal role. Notably, iron oxide nanoparticles and superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles have emerged as indispensable tools for non-contact manipulation of cells within these 3D environments. The variety and modification of the physical and chemical properties of magnetic nanoparticles have profound impacts on cellular mechanisms, metabolic processes, and overall biological function. This review article focuses on the applications of magnetic nanoparticles, elucidating their advantages and potential pitfalls when integrated into 3D cell culture systems. This review aims to shed light on the transformative potential of magnetic nanoparticles in terms of tissue engineering and their capacity to improve the cultivation and manipulation of cells in 3D environments.

[PMID: 38816372 PMCID: PMC11139920 DOI: 10.1038/s41405-024-00219-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2024] [Revised: 04/29/2024] [Accepted: 04/30/2024] [Indexed: 06/01/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Salivary gland (SG) hypofunction is a common clinical condition arising from radiotherapy to suppress head and neck cancers. The radiation often destroys the SG secretory acini, and glands are left with limited regenerative potential. Due to the complex architecture of SG acini and ducts, three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting platforms have emerged to spatially define these in vitro epithelial units and develop mini-organs or organoids for regeneration. Due to the limited body of evidence, this comprehensive review highlights the advantages and challenges of bioprinting platforms for SG regeneration. METHODS SG microtissue engineering strategies such as magnetic 3D bioassembly of cells and microfluidic coaxial 3D bioprinting of cell-laden microfibers and microtubes have been proposed to replace the damaged acinar units, avoid the use of xenogeneic matrices (like Matrigel), and restore salivary flow. RESULTS Replacing the SG damaged organ is challenging due to its complex architecture, which combines a ductal network with acinar epithelial units to facilitate a unidirectional flow of saliva. Our research group was the first to develop 3D bioassembly SG epithelial functional organoids with innervation to respond to both cholinergic and adrenergic stimulation. More recently, microtissue engineering using coaxial 3D bioprinting of hydrogel microfibers and microtubes could also supported the formation of viable epithelial units. Both bioprinting approaches could overcome the need for Matrigel by facilitating the assembly of adult stem cells, such as human dental pulp stem cells, and primary SG cells into micro-sized 3D constructs able to produce their own matrix and self-organize into micro-modular tissue clusters with lumenized areas. Furthermore, extracellular vesicle (EV) therapies from organoid-derived secretome were also designed and validated ex vivo for SG regeneration after radiation damage. CONCLUSION Magnetic 3D bioassembly and microfluidic coaxial bioprinting platforms have the potential to create SG mini-organs for regenerative applications via organoid transplantation or organoid-derived EV therapies.

Abstract
Ionizing radiation, commonly used for head and neck cancer treatment, typically damages the salivary glands, resulting in hyposalivation. The development of treatments to restore this lost function is crucial for improving the quality of life for patients suffering from this condition. To address this clinical need, we have developed an innovative hydrogel by chemically conjugating laminin-1 peptides (A99 and YIGSR) and growth factors, FGF-7 and FGF-10, to fibrin hydrogels. Our results demonstrate that FGF-7/10 and laminin-1 peptides fortified fibrin hydrogel [enhanced laminin-1 peptides fibrin hydrogel (Ep-FH)] promotes salivary gland regeneration and functionality by improving epithelial tissue organization, establishing a healthy network of blood vessels and nerves, while reducing fibrosis in a head and neck irradiated mouse model. These results indicate that fibrin hydrogel-based implantable scaffolds containing pro-regenerative signals promote sustained secretory function of irradiated salivary glands, offering a potential alternative treatment for hyposalivation in head and neck cancer patients undergoing radiation treatment. These unique findings emphasize the potential of fibrin hydrogel-based implantable scaffolds enriched with pro-regenerative signals in sustaining the secretory function of irradiated salivary glands and offer a promising alternative treatment for addressing hyposalivation in head and neck cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Radiation therapies used to treat head and neck cancers often result in damaged salivary gland, leading to severe dryness of the oral cavity. In this study, we engineered FGF-7 and FGF-10 and immobilized them into L1p-FH. The resulting hydrogel, Ep-FH, restored irradiated salivary gland functionality by enhancing epithelial tissue organization, promoting the development of a healthy network of blood vessels and nerves as well as reduction of fibrosis.

Abstract
Hyposalivation and severe dry mouth syndrome are the most common complications in patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) after receiving radiation therapy. Conventional treatment for hyposalivation relies on the use of sialogogues such as pilocarpine; however, their efficacy is constrained by the limited number of remnant acinar cells after radiation. After radiotherapy, the salivary gland (SG) secretory parenchyma is largely destroyed, and due to the reduced stem cell niche, this gland has poor regenerative potential. To tackle this, researchers must be able to generate highly complex cellularized 3D constructs for clinical transplantation via technologies, including those that involve bioprinting of cells and biomaterials. A potential stem cell source with promising clinical outcomes to reserve dry mouth is adipose mesenchymal stem cells (AdMSC). MSC-like cells like human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSC) have been tested in novel magnetic bioprinting platforms using nanoparticles that can bind cell membranes by electrostatic interaction, as well as their paracrine signals arising from extracellular vesicles. Both magnetized cells and their secretome cues were found to increase epithelial and neuronal growth of in vitro and ex vivo irradiated SG models. Interestingly, these magnetic bioprinting platforms can be applied as a high-throughput drug screening system due to the consistency in structure and functions of their organoids. Recently, exogenous decellularized porcine ECM was added to this magnetic platform to stimulate an ideal environment for cell tethering, proliferation, and/or differentiation. The combination of these SG tissue biofabrication strategies will promptly allow for in vitro organoid formation and establishment of cellular senescent organoids for aging models, but challenges remain in terms of epithelial polarization and lumen formation for unidirectional fluid flow. Current magnetic bioprinting nanotechnologies can provide promising functional and aging features to in vitro craniofacial exocrine gland organoids, which can be utilized for novel drug discovery and/or clinical transplantation.

Abstract
Sodium alginate (SA)-based hydrogels are often employed as bioink for three-dimensional (3D) scaffold bioprinting. They offer a suitable environment for cell proliferation and differentiation during tissue regeneration and also control the release of growth factors and mesenchymal stem cell secretome, which is useful for scaffold biointegration. However, such hydrogels show poor mechanical properties, fast-release kinetics, and low biological performance, hampering their successful clinical application. In this work, silk fibroin (SF), a protein with excellent biomechanical properties frequently used for controlled drug release, was blended with SA to obtain improved bioink and scaffold properties. Firstly, we produced a printable SA solution containing SF capable of the conformational change from Silk I (random coil) to Silk II (β-sheet): this transition is a fundamental condition to improve the scaffold's mechanical properties. Then, the SA-SF blends' printability and shape fidelity were demonstrated, and mechanical characterization of the printed hydrogels was performed: SF significantly increased compressive elastic modulus, while no influence on tensile response was detected. Finally, the release profile of Lyosecretome-a freeze-dried formulation of MSC-secretome containing extracellular vesicles (EV)-from scaffolds was determined: SF not only dramatically slowed the EV release rate, but also modified the kinetics and mechanism release with respect to the baseline of SA hydrogel. Overall, these results lay the foundation for the development of SA-SF bioinks with modulable mechanical and EV-release properties, and their application in 3D scaffold printing.

Abstract
Salivary gland (SG) dysfunction impairs the life quality of many patients, such as patients with radiation therapy for head and neck cancer and patients with Sjögren’s syndrome. Multiple SG engineering strategies have been considered for SG regeneration, repair, or whole organ replacement. An in-depth understanding of the development and differentiation of epithelial stem and progenitor cells niche during SG branching morphogenesis and signaling pathways involved in cell–cell communication constitute a prerequisite to the development of suitable bioengineering solutions. This review summarizes the essential bioengineering features to be considered to fabricate an engineered functional SG model using various cell types, biomaterials, active agents, and matrix fabrication methods. Furthermore, recent innovative and promising approaches to engineering SG models are described. Finally, this review discusses the different challenges and future perspectives in SG bioengineering.

Abstract
Craniofacial tissue injuries, diseases, and defects, including those within bone, dental, and periodontal tissues and salivary glands, impact an estimated 1 billion patients globally. Craniofacial tissue dysfunction significantly reduces quality of life, and successful repair of damaged tissues remains a significant challenge. Blood vessels and nerves are colocalized within craniofacial tissues and act synergistically during tissue regeneration. Therefore, the success of craniofacial regenerative approaches is predicated on successful recruitment, regeneration, or integration of both vascularization and innervation. Tissue engineering strategies have been widely used to encourage vascularization and, more recently, to improve innervation through host tissue recruitment or prevascularization/innervation of engineered tissues. However, current scaffold designs and cell or growth factor delivery approaches often fail to synergistically coordinate both vascularization and innervation to orchestrate successful tissue regeneration. Additionally, tissue engineering approaches are typically investigated separately for vascularization and innervation. Since both tissues act in concert to improve craniofacial tissue regeneration outcomes, a revised approach for development of engineered materials is required. This review aims to provide an overview of neurovascularization in craniofacial tissues and strategies to target either process thus far. Finally, key design principles are described for engineering approaches that will support both vascularization and innervation for successful craniofacial tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Previous studies demonstrated that salivary gland morphogenesis and differentiation are enhanced by modification of fibrin hydrogels chemically conjugated to Laminin-1 peptides. Specifically, Laminin-1 peptides (A99: CGGALRGDN-amide and YIGSR: CGGADPGYIGSRGAA-amide) chemically conjugated to fibrin promoted formation of newly organized salivary epithelium both in vitro (e.g., using organoids) and in vivo (e.g., in a wounded mouse model). While these studies were successful, the model's usefulness for inducing regenerative patterns after radiation therapy remains unknown. Therefore, the goal of the current study was to determine whether transdermal injection with the Laminin-1 peptides A99 and YIGSR chemically conjugated to fibrin hydrogels promotes tissue regeneration in irradiated salivary glands. Results indicate that A99 and YIGSR chemically conjugated to fibrin hydrogels promote formation of functional salivary tissue when transdermally injected to irradiated salivary glands. In contrast, when left untreated, irradiated salivary glands display a loss in structure and functionality. Together, these studies indicate that fibrin hydrogel-based implantable scaffolds containing Laminin-1 peptides promote secretory function of irradiated salivary glands.

Abstract
Salivary gland (SG) hypofunction and oral dryness can be induced by radiotherapy for head and neck cancers or autoimmune disorders. These are common clinical conditions that involve loss of saliva-secreting epithelial cells. Several oral complications arise with SG hypofunction that interfere with routine daily activities such as chewing, swallowing, and speaking. Hence, there is a need for replacing these saliva-secreting cells. Recently, researchers have proposed to repair SG hypofunction via various cell-based approaches in three-dimensional (3D) scaffold-based systems. However, majority of the scaffolds used cannot be translated clinically due to the presence of non-human-based substrates. Herein, saliva-secreting organoids/mini-glands were developed using a new scaffold/substrate-free culture system named magnetic 3D levitation (M3DL), which assembles and levitates magnetized primary SG-derived cells (SGDCs), allowing them to produce their own extracellular matrices. Primary SGDCs were assembled in M3DL to generate SG-like organoids in well-established SG epithelial differentiation conditions for 7 days. After such culture time, these organoids consistently presented uniform spheres with greater cell viability and pro-mitotic cells, when compared with conventional salisphere cultures. Additionally, organoids formed by M3DL expressed SG-specific markers from different cellular compartments: acinar epithelial including adherens junctions (NKCC1, cholinergic muscarinic receptor type 3, E-cadherin, and EpCAM); ductal epithelial and myoepithelial (cytokeratin 14 and α-smooth muscle actin); and neuronal (β3-tubulin and vesicular acetylcholine transferase). Lastly, intracellular calcium and α-amylase activity assays showed functional organoids with SG-specific secretory activity upon cholinergic stimulation. Thus, the functional organoid produced herein indicate that this M3DL system can be a promising tool to generate SG-like mini-glands for SG secretory repair.

Abstract
The native tissues are complex structures consisting of different cell types, extracellular matrix materials, and biomolecules. Traditional tissue engineering strategies have not been able to fully reproduce biomimetic and heterogeneous tissue constructs because of the lack of appropriate biomaterials and technologies. However, recently developed three-dimensional bioprinting techniques can be leveraged to produce biomimetic and complex tissue structures. To achieve this, multicomponent bioinks composed of multiple biomaterials (natural, synthetic, or hybrid natural-synthetic biomaterials), different types of cells, and soluble factors have been developed. In addition, advanced bioprinting technologies have enabled us to print multimaterial bioinks with spatial and microscale resolution in a rapid and continuous manner, aiming to reproduce the complex architecture of the native tissues. This review highlights important advances in heterogeneous bioinks and bioprinting technologies to fabricate biomimetic tissue constructs. Opportunities and challenges to further accelerate this research area are also described.

Abstract
Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by lymphocytic infiltration of salivary and lacrimal glands resulting in diminished production of saliva and tears. The pathophysiology of SS has not yet been fully deciphered. Classically it has been postulated that sicca symptoms in SS patients are a double step process whereby lymphocytic infiltration of lacrimal and salivary glands (SG) is followed by epithelial cell destruction resulting in keratoconjunctivitis sicca and xerostomia. Recent advances in the field of the pathophysiology of SS have brought in new players, such as aquaporins (AQPs) and anti AQPs autoantibodies that could explain underlying mechanistic processes and unveil new pathophysiological pathways offering a deeper understanding of the disease. In this review, we delineate the link between the AQP and SS, focusing on salivary glands, and discuss the role of AQPs in the treatment of SS-induced xerostomia.

Abstract
Stem cells offer tremendous promise for regenerative medicine as they can become a variety of cell types. They also continuously proliferate, providing a renewable source of cells. Recently, it has been found that 3D printing constructs using stem cells, can generate models representing healthy or diseased tissues, as well as substitutes for diseased and damaged tissues. Here, we review the current state of the field of 3D printing stem cell derived tissues. First, we cover 3D printing technologies and discuss the different types of stem cells used for tissue engineering applications. We then detail the properties required for the bioinks used when printing viable tissues from stem cells. We give relevant examples of such bioprinted tissues, including adipose tissue, blood vessels, bone, cardiac tissue, cartilage, heart valves, liver, muscle, neural tissue, and pancreas. Finally, we provide future directions for improving the current technologies, along with areas of focus for future work to translate these exciting technologies into clinical applications.

Abstract
Regeneration as a therapeutic priniciple and regenerative medicine in general are promising new strategies to add new therapeutic dimensions to our current treatment options. Today, reconstructive surgery, drugs and implants such as the cochlear implant can replace the functions of damaged tissues. In contrast, regenerative therapies aim at the replacement of the damaged tissues themselves while at the same time replacing their lost tissue function. In this review article new technologies such as 3D-bioprinting and the application of decellularised tissues as biomaterials are introduced and explained. A summary of current preclinical and clinical regenerative studies in otorhinolaryngology is complementing these basic aspects.
