Ovarian cancer is the deadliest gynecological cancer, due to diagnosis at late stages of the disease and increased resistance to chemotherapies for recurrent disease. Understanding how the tumor microenvironment (TME) interacts with biomechanical forces to drive changes to ovarian cancer cell behaviors could elucidate novel treatment strategies for this patient population. Additionally, limitations in current preclinical models of the ovarian TME do not permit investigation of crosstalk between signaling pathways and mechanical forces. Our study focused on uncovering how strains and hyaluronic acid (HA) interact to signal through the CD44 receptor to alter ovarian cancer cell growth, migration, and response to a commonly used chemotherapy, paclitaxel. Using an advanced 3D <em>in vitro</em> model, we were able to identify how interactions of strain and HA as in the TME synergistically drive enhanced proliferation and migration in an ovarian tumor model line, while decreasing response to paclitaxel treatment.

In this study we evaluated hybrid hydrogels for minimally invasive bone formation by combining biomaterials with skeletal stem cells and staged release of growth factors together with mechanotransduction. Hybrid hydrogels consisting of alginate and decellularized, demineralised bone extracellular matrix (ALG/ECM) were seeded with Stro-1+ human bone marrow stromal cells (HBMSCs). Dual combinations of growth factors within staged-release polylactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) microparticles were added to hydrogels to mimic, in part, the signalling events in bone regeneration: VEGF, TGF-β<sub>3,</sub> PTHrP (fast release), or BMP-2, vitamin D<sub>3</sub> (slow release). Mechanotransduction was initiated using magnetic fields to remotely actuate superparamagnetic nanoparticles (MNP) targeted to TREK1 ion channels. Hybrid hydrogels were implanted subcutaneously within mice for 28 days, and evaluated for bone formation using micro-CT and histology. Control hydrogels lacking HBMSCs, growth factors, or MNP became mineralised, and neither growth factors, HBMSCs, nor mechanotransduction increased bone formation. However, structural differences in the newly-formed bone were influenced by growth factors. Slow release of BMP-2 induced thick bone trabeculae and PTHrP or VitD<sub>3</sub> increased bone formation. However, fast-release of TGF-β<sub>3</sub> and VEGF resulted in thin trabeculae. Mechanotransduction reversed the trabecular thinning and increased collagen deposition with PTHrP and VitD<sub>3</sub>. Our findings demonstrate the potential of hybrid ALG/ECM hydrogel–cell–growth factor constructs to repair bone in combination with mechanotransduction for fine-tuning bone structure.

However, physical activity may be challenging for elderly or bedridden patients. As such, vibration therapy has been proposed as a safe, effective, and easy to perform alternative treatment that may confer similar effects as physical exercise. Specifically, low-magnitude high frequency (LMHF) vibration has been shown to decrease breast cancer extravasation into the bone and reduce other types of cancer proliferation by impacting cell viability.

Our findings suggest that LMHF vibration significantly reduces colony formation through a decrease in cell growth and proliferation. Moreover, using a 3D cell culture model, LMHF vibration significantly reduces PC3 spheroid size.

The Hippo signaling pathway, known for its highly conserved nature and integral role in regulating organ size, tissue homeostasis, and stem cell function, has been identified as a critical factor in the pathogenesis of CVDs. Recent findings underscore the significance of the Yes-associated protein (YAP) and the Transcriptional Coactivator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ), collectively referred to as YAP/TAZ. These proteins play pivotal roles as downstream components of the Hippo pathway, in the regulation of cardiovascular development and homeostasis.

The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the current understanding of YAP/TAZ signaling in cardiovascular physiology and pathogenesis. We analyze the regulatory mechanisms of YAP/TAZ activation, explore their downstream effectors, and examine their association across numerous cardiovascular disorders, including myocardial hypertrophy, myocardial infarction, pulmonary hypertension, myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, atherosclerosis, angiogenesis, restenosis, and cardiac fibrosis.

With the escalating demand for these bio-based products, any process that could improve yields and shorten outcome timelines by accelerating cell proliferation would have a significant impact across the discipline. While these goals are primarily achieved using <em>biological</em> or <em>chemical</em> strategies, harnessing cell mechanosensitivity represents a promising – albeit less studied – <em>physical</em> pathway to promote bioprocessing endpoints, yet identifying which mechanical parameters influence cell activities has remained elusive. We tested the hypothesis that mechanical signals, delivered non-invasively using low-intensity vibration (LIV; &lt;1 ​g, 10–500 ​Hz), will enhance cell expansion, and determined that any unique signal configuration was not equally influential across a range of cell types. Varying frequency, intensity, duration, refractory period, and daily doses of LIV increased proliferation in Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO)-adherent cells (+79% in 96 ​hr) using a particular set of LIV parameters (0.2 ​g, 500 ​Hz, 3 ​× ​30 ​min/d, 2 ​hr refractory period), yet this same mechanical input <em>suppressed</em> proliferation in CHO-suspension cells (−13%). Another set of LIV parameters (30 ​Hz, 0.7 ​g, 2 ​× ​60 ​min/d, 2 ​hr refractory period) however, were able to increase the proliferation of CHO-suspension cells by 210% and T-cells by 20.3%. Importantly, we also reported that T-cell response to LIV was in-part dependent upon AKT phosphorylation, as inhibiting AKT phosphorylation reduced the proliferative effect of LIV by over 60%, suggesting that suspension cells utilize mechanism(s) similar to adherent cells to sense specific LIV signals. Particle image velocimetry combined with finite element modeling showed high transmissibility of these signals across fluids (&gt;90%), and LIV effectively scaled up to T75 flasks. Ultimately, when LIV is tailored to the target cell population, it's highly efficient transmission across media represents a means to non-invasively augment biomanufacturing endpoints for both adherent and suspended cells, and holds immediate applications, ranging from small-scale, patient-specific personalized medicine to large-scale commercial bio-centric production challenges.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100900,"journal":{"name":"Mechanobiology in Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2949907024000433/pdfft?md5=018ef78186c038e68b40852d4fefb32a&pid=1-s2.0-S2949907024000433-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141736469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
