Abstract
Bladder tissue engineering holds promise for addressing bladder defects resulting from congenital or acquired bladder diseases. However, inadequate vascularization significantly impacts the survival and function of engineered tissues after transplantation. Herein, a novel bilayer silk fibroin (BSF) scaffold was fabricated with the capability of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and platelet derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) sequential release. The outer layer of the scaffold was composed of compact SF film with waterproofness to mimic the serosa of the bladder. The inner layer was constructed of porous SF matrix incorporated with SF microspheres (MS) loaded with VEGF and PDGF-BB. We found that the 5% (w/v) MS-incorporated scaffold exhibited a rapid release of VEGF, whereas the 0.2% (w/v) MS-incorporated scaffold demonstrated a slow and sustained release of PDGF-BB. The BSF scaffold exhibited good biocompatibility and promoted endothelial cell migration, tube formation and enhanced endothelial differentiation of adipose derived stem cells (ADSCs) in vitro. The BSF patch was constructed by seeding ADSCs on the BSF scaffold. After in vivo transplantation, not only could the BSF patch facilitate the regeneration of urothelium and smooth muscle, but more importantly, stimulate the regeneration of blood vessels. This study demonstrated that the BSF patch exhibited excellent vascularization capability in bladder reconstruction and offered a viable functional bioengineered patch for future clinical studies.
期刊介绍:
Regenerative Biomaterials is an international, interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal publishing the latest advances in biomaterials and regenerative medicine. The journal provides a forum for the publication of original research papers, reviews, clinical case reports, and commentaries on the topics relevant to the development of advanced regenerative biomaterials concerning novel regenerative technologies and therapeutic approaches for the regeneration and repair of damaged tissues and organs. The interactions of biomaterials with cells and tissue, especially with stem cells, will be of particular focus.
