Predominant control of PDGF/PDGF receptor signaling in the migration and proliferation of human adipose‑derived stem cells under culture conditions with a combination of growth factors. Exp Ther Med 2024; 27:156. [PMID: 38476902 PMCID: PMC10928992 DOI: 10.3892/etm.2024.12444] [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: 09/25/2023] [Accepted: 01/19/2024] [Indexed: 03/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Human adipose-derived stem cells (hASCs) play important roles in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. However, their clinical applications are limited because of their instability during cell culture. Platelet lysates (PLTs) contain large amounts of growth factors that are useful for manufacturing cellular products. Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is a major growth factor in PLTs and a potent mitogen in hASCs. To optimize growth conditions, the effects of a combination of growth factors on the promotion of hASC proliferation were investigated. Moreover, PDGF-BB combined with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) markedly enhanced the viability of hASCs compared with the effects of PDGF-BB alone. Neither VEGF nor HGF had any effect alone. All growth factor receptor inhibitors inhibited cell proliferation. Wound healing assays revealed that VEGF and HGF stimulated PDGF-dependent cell migration. The effects of these growth factors on the activation of their cognate receptors and signaling enzymes were assessed using immunoblotting. Phosphorylation of PDGF receptor (PDGFR)β, VEGF receptor (VEGFR)2 and MET proto-oncogene and receptor tyrosine kinase was induced by PDGF-BB treatment, and was further increased by treatment with PDGF-BB/VEGF and PDGF-BB/HGF. The levels of phospho-ERK1/2 and phospho-p38MAPK were increased by these treatments in parallel. Furthermore, the expression levels of SRY-box transcription factor 2 and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor g were increased in PDGF-BB-treated cells, and PDGF-BB played a dominant role in spheroid formation. The findings of the present study highlighted that PDGF/PDGFR signaling played a predominant role in the proliferation and migration of hASCs, and suggested that PDGF was responsible for the efficacy of other growth factors when hASCs were cultured with PLTs.

Abstract
Successful regeneration of cartilage tissue at a clinical scale has been a tremendous challenge in the past decades. Microcarriers (MCs), usually used for cell and drug delivery, have been studied broadly across a wide range of medical fields, especially the cartilage tissue engineering (TE). Notably, microcarrier systems provide an attractive method for regulating cell phenotype and microtissue maturations, they also serve as powerful injectable carriers and are combined with new technologies for cartilage regeneration. In this review, we introduced the typical methods to fabricate various types of microcarriers and discussed the appropriate materials for microcarriers. Furthermore, we highlighted recent progress of applications and general design principle for microcarriers. Finally, we summarized the current challenges and promising prospects of microcarrier-based systems for medical applications. Overall, this review provides comprehensive and systematic guidelines for the rational design and applications of microcarriers in cartilage TE.

3D Culture of MSCs on a Gelatin Microsphere in a Dynamic Culture System Enhances Chondrogenesis. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21082688. [PMID: 32294921 PMCID: PMC7215541 DOI: 10.3390/ijms21082688] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2020] [Revised: 04/04/2020] [Accepted: 04/07/2020] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Recent advancement in cartilage tissue engineering has explored the potential of 3D culture to mimic the in vivo environment of human cartilaginous tissue. Three-dimensional culture using microspheres was described to play a role in driving the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells to chondrocyte lineage. However, factors such as mechanical agitation on cell chondrogenesis during culture on the microspheres has yet to be elucidated. In this study, we compared the 2D and 3D culture of bone-marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) on gelatin microspheres (GMs) in terms of MSC stemness properties, immune-phenotype, multilineage differentiation properties, and proliferation rate. Then, to study the effect of mechanical agitation on chondrogenic differentiation in 3D culture, we cultured BMSCs on GM (BMSCs-GM) in either static or dynamic bioreactor system with two different mediums, i.e., F12: DMEM (1:1) + 10% FBS (FD) and chondrogenic induction medium (CIM). Our results show that BMSCs attached to the GM surface and remained viable in 3D culture. BMSCs-GM proliferated faster and displayed higher stemness properties than BMSCs on a tissue culture plate (BMSCs-TCP). GMs also enhanced the efficiency of in-vitro chondrogenesis of BMSCs, especially in a dynamic culture with higher cell proliferation, RNA expression, and protein expression compared to that in a static culture. To conclude, our results indicate that the 3D culture of BMSCs on gelatin microsphere was superior to 2D culture on a standard tissue culture plate. Furthermore, culturing BMSCs on GM in dynamic culture conditions enhanced their chondrogenic differentiation.

Abstract
Cell-based tissue engineering can promote cartilage tissue regeneration, but cell retention in the implant site post-delivery is problematic. Alginate microbeads containing adipose stem cells (ASCs) pretreated with chondrogenic media have been used successfully to regenerate hyaline cartilage in critical size defects in rat xiphoid suggesting that they may be used to treat defects in elastic cartilages such as the ear. To test this, we used microbeads made with low viscosity, high mannuronate medical grade alginate using a high electrostatic potential, and a calcium cross linking solution containing glucose. Microbeads containing rabbit ASCs (rbASCs) were implanted bilaterally in 3 mm critical size midcartilage ear defects of six skeletally mature male New Zealand White rabbits (empty defect; microbeads without cells; microbeads with cells; degradable microbeads with cells; and autograft). Twelve weeks post-implantation, regeneration was assessed by microCT and histology. Microencapsulated rbASCs cultured in chondrogenic media expressed mRNAs for aggrecan, Type II collagen, and Type X collagen. Histologically, empty defects contained fibrous tissue; microbeads without cells were still present in defects and were surrounded by fibrous tissue; nondegradable beads with rbASCs initiated cartilage regeneration; degradable microbeads with cells produced immature bone-like tissue, also demonstrated by microCT; and autografts appeared as normal auricular cartilage but were not fully integrated with the tissue surrounding the defect. Elastin, the hallmark of auricular cartilage, was not evident in the neocartilage. This delivery system offers the potential for regeneration of auricular cartilage, but vascularity of the treatment site and use of factors that induce elastin must be considered.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to establish an optimized protocol for the production of alginate-encapsulated canine adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells
(cASCs) and evaluate their suitability for clinical use, including viability, proliferation and in vivo cell retention. Alginate microbeads
were formed by vibrational technology and the production of injectable microbeads was performed using various parameters with standard methodology. Microbead
toxicity was tested in an animal model. Encapsulated cASCs were evaluated for viability and proliferation in vitro. HEK-293 cells, with or
without microencapsulation, were injected into the subcutaneous tissue of mice and were tracked using in vivo bioluminescent imaging to
evaluate the retention of transplanted cells. The optimized injectable microbeads were of uniform size and approximately 250 µm in diameter.
There was no strong evidence of in vivo toxicity for the alginate beads. The cells remained viable after encapsulation, and there was evidence
of in vitro proliferation within the microcapsules. In vivo bioluminescent imaging showed that alginate encapsulation improved
the retention of transplanted cells and the encapsulated cells remained viable in vivo for 7 days. Encapsulation enhances the retention of
viable cells in vivo and might represent a potential strategy to increase the therapeutic potency and efficacy of stem cells.
