Contribution of peripheral blood mononuclear cells isolated by advanced filtration system to myogenesis of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells co-cultured with myoblasts. Heliyon 2023; 9:e17141. [PMID: 37484299 PMCID: PMC10361327 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e17141] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2022] [Revised: 06/06/2023] [Accepted: 06/08/2023] [Indexed: 07/25/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Contribution of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in myogenesis is still under debate, even though blood filtration systems are commonly used in clinical practice for successfully management of critic limb ischemia. Objectives A commercial blood filter used for autologous human PBMC transplantation procedures is characterized and used to collect PBMCs, that are then added to well-established 2D in vitro myogenic models assembled with a co-culture of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBM-MSCs) and skeletal myoblasts (hSkMs) whit the aim of investigating their potential contribution to stem cell myogenic commitment. Methods A commercial blood filter was physically and chemically studied to understand its morphological characteristics and composition. PBMCs were concentrated using this system, further isolated by Ficoll-Paque density gradient centrifugation, and then added in an upper transwell chamber to a 2D co-culture of hBM-MSCs and hSkMs. Myogenic commitment was investigated by RT-PCR, immunofluorescence, and flow cytometry immunophenotyping. Cytokine levels were monitored by ELISA assay in culture media. Results The blood filtration system was disassembled and appeared to be formed by twelve membranes of poly-butylene terephthalate fibers (diameters, 0.9-4.0 μm) with pore size distribution of 1-20 μm. Filter functional characterization was achieved by characterizing collected cells by flow cytometry. Subsequently, collected PBMCs fraction was added to an in-vitro model of hBM-MSC myogenic commitment. In the presence of PBMCs, stem cells significantly upregulated myogenic genes, such as Desmin and MYH2, as confirmed by qRT-PCR and expressed related proteins by immunofluorescence (IF) assay, while downregulated pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL12A at day 14) along the 21 days of culture. Novelty Our work highlights chemical-physical properties of commercial blood filter and suggests that blood filtrated fraction of PBMC might modulate cytokine expression in response to muscle injury and promote myogenic events, supporting their clinical use in autologous transplantation.

Zhong R, He Z, Zhang X, Han D, Wang H, Liu J. The strategy of modulation blood responses by surface modification with different functional groups on polyester film. J Biomed Mater Res A 2021; 109:1955-1966. [PMID: 34085403 DOI: 10.1002/jbm.a.37188] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2020] [Revised: 03/13/2021] [Accepted: 03/24/2021] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
A main problem in the design of blood-contacting biomaterials has been the deficiency of a systematic understanding of blood-biomaterial interactions and the strategy to modulate blood responses. In this work, different functional groups including carboxyl (COOH), hydroxyl (OH) and zwitterionic sulfobetaine group (⊕N((CH3 )2 )(CH2 )3 SO3-○- , SMDB) were grafted on the poly (butylene terephthalate) (PBT) film to study how the functional groups modulate blood responses and in terms of interaction with the coagulation system, the complement system, and platelets. The results showed protein absorption and platelet adhesion was stronger on the PBT bearing COOH group than PBT films bearing OH and zwitterionic sulfobetaine groups (total protein (μg/cm2 ): 32.92 ± 5.89 vs. 22.02 ± 1.44 vs. 19.09 ± 1.59; platelet adhesion (/mm2 ): 1,626.7 ± 120.1 vs. 1,395.6 ± 363.3 vs. 1,102.2 ± 373.7), which had a rougher and negatively charged surface, and the coagulation system was inhibited by binding fibrinogen (Fg) and coagulation factors. Meanwhile, PBT-PSMDB showed anticoagulant property and induced platelet activation. As a result, complement formation on these two films were less than PBT bearing OH groups by inhibiting the coagulation system (C3a (ng/ml): 3,745.4 ± 143.9 vs. 3,290.9 ± 249.7 vs. 4,887.9 ± 88.9; C5a (ng/ml): 22.1 ± 2.6 vs. 22.3 ± 1.8 vs. 27.9 ± 2.0). On the other hand, PBT bearing OH groups did not facilitate remarkable platelet adhesion and activation, and had no influence on platelet aggregation, hypotonic shock response, and coagulation system. The above results showed that the blood responses were highly interlinked, and could be modulated by grafting with different functional groups on the biomaterial surfaces. These findings may help identify a strategy to design materials with better hemocompatibility for blood contact, filtration, and purification applications.

Polymers (Basel) 2021; 13:polym13020260. [PMID: 33466798 PMCID: PMC7829702 DOI: 10.3390/polym13020260] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/24/2020] [Revised: 01/10/2021] [Accepted: 01/11/2021] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Elasticity and recovery are important for clothing comfort, especially in the manufacture of apparel and sportswear. Recently, yarns containing PBT (polybutylene terephthalate), which are able to develop good elastic properties with high recovery after a finishing process (e.g., thermal treatment), have been used for this purpose. The aim of this work is to give a comprehensive overview of the use of PBT yarns in woven structure, with the aim of improving the elastic properties of cotton-like fabrics. The experimental part was divided into three main sequences to investigate the fabric properties (physical, elastic, UPF, comfort) influenced by (1) PBT-containing yarn structure, (2) weave and fabric structure (basic weaves and complex weaves) with PBT in weft direction, and (3) processing sequence—thermal treatment of PBT yarns or fabrics after weaving. According to the results, PBT-containing yarns have great potential for the production of lightweight elastic fabrics. The advantages of improving the elastic properties of fabrics by incorporating a relatively small amount of PBT yarns into the fabric only in certain areas, thereby minimally affecting the production costs, are demonstrated by a product with partially elastic areas obtained after thermal treatment.
