Abstract
Prevascularization strategies have become a hot spot in tissue engineering. As one of the potential candidates for seed cells, skin precursor-derived Schwann cells (SKP-SCs) were endowed with a new role to more efficiently construct prevascularized tissue-engineered peripheral nerves. The silk fibroin scaffolds seeded with SKP-SCs were prevascularized through subcutaneously implantation, which was further assembled with the SKP-SC-containing chitosan conduit. SKP-SCs expressed pro-angiogenic factors in vitro and in vivo. SKP-SCs significantly accelerated the satisfied prevascularization in vivo of silk fibroin scaffolds compared with VEGF. Moreover, the NGF expression revealed that pregenerated blood vessels adapted to the nerve regeneration microenvironment through reeducation. The short-term nerve regeneration of SKP-SCs-prevascularization was obviously superior to that of non-prevascularization. At 12 weeks postinjury, both SKP-SCs-prevascularization and VEGF-prevascularization significantly improved nerve regeneration with a comparable degree. Our figures provide a new enlightenment for the optimization of prevascularization strategies and how to further utilize tissue engineering for better repair.

Zhang J, Yang H, Wu J, Zhang D, Wang Y, Zhai J. Recent progresses in novel in vitro models of primary neurons: A biomaterial perspective. Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2022; 10:953031. [PMID: 36061442 PMCID: PMC9428288 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2022.953031] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2022] [Accepted: 07/26/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
Central nervous system (CNS) diseases have been a growing threat to the health of humanity, emphasizing the urgent need of exploring the pathogenesis and therapeutic approaches of various CNS diseases. Primary neurons are directly obtained from animals or humans, which have wide applications including disease modeling, mechanism exploration and drug development. However, traditional two-dimensional (2D) monoculture cannot resemble the native microenvironment of CNS. With the increasing understanding of the complexity of the CNS and the remarkable development of novel biomaterials, in vitro models have experienced great innovation from 2D monoculture toward three-dimensional (3D) multicellular culture. The scope of this review includes the progress of various in vitro models of primary neurons in recent years to provide a holistic view of the modalities and applications of primary neuron models and how they have been connected with the revolution of biofabrication techniques. Special attention has been paid to the interaction between primary neurons and biomaterials. First, a brief introduction on the history of CNS modeling and primary neuron culture was conducted. Next, detailed progress in novel in vitro models were discussed ranging from 2D culture, ex vivo model, spheroid, scaffold-based model, 3D bioprinting model, and microfluidic chip. Modalities, applications, advantages, and limitations of the aforementioned models were described separately. Finally, we explored future prospects, providing new insights into how basic science research methodologies have advanced our understanding of the CNS, and highlighted some future directions of primary neuron culture in the next few decades.
