Microtissues are tiny tissue clusters that can mimic the function of target organs or tissues. Using cells alone for microtissue construction often results in the formation of necrotic cores. However, the extracellular matrix (ECM) of native cartilage can provide structural support and is an ideal source of microcarriers. Autologous adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are widely used in cartilage tissue engineering. In this study, we fabricated microcarriers and compared the behavior of two homologous cell types in the microcarrier environment. The microcarrier environment highlighted the advantages of ADSCs and promoted the proliferation and migration of these cells. Then, ADSCs microtissues (ADSCs-MT) and BMSCs microtissues (BMSCs-MT) were fabricated using a three-dimensional dynamic culture system. In vitro and in vivo experiments verified that the cartilage regeneration ability of ADSCs-MT was significantly superior to that of BMSCs-MT. Transcriptomics revealed that ADSCs-MT showed significantly lower expression levels of ECM degradation, osteogenesis, and fibrocartilage markers. Finally, the protective effect of microtissues on inflammatory chondrocytes was validated. Overall, the ADSCs-MT constructed in this study achieved excellent cartilage regeneration and could be promising for the autologous application of cartilage microtissues.","PeriodicalId":18310,"journal":{"name":"Materials Today Bio","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142758677","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our investigation aimed to elucidate the intracellular uptake and trafficking of AuNPs coated with different combinations of monosaccharides (mannose, galactose, and fucose) in DCs. We used 30 unique polymer-tethered monosaccharide combinations to coat 16 nm diameter spherical gold nanoparticles and investigated their effect on DCs phenotype, uptake, and intracellular trafficking. DCs internalized AuNPs coated with 100 % fucose, 100 % mannose, 90 % mannose +10 % galactose, and 80 % mannose +20 % galactose with highest efficiency. Flow cytometry analysis indicated that 100 % fucose-coated AuNPs showed increased lysosomal and endosomal contents compared to other conditions and uncoated AuNPs. Imaging flow cytometry further demonstrated that 100 % fucose-coated AuNPs had enhanced co-localization with lysosomes, while 100 % mannose-coated AuNPs exhibited higher co-localization with endosomes. Furthermore, our data showed that the uptake of carbohydrate-coated AuNPs predominantly occurred through receptor-mediated endocytosis, as evidenced by a marked reduction of uptake upon treatment of DCs with methyl-β-cyclodextrins, known to disrupt receptor-mediated endocytosis. These findings highlight the utility of carbohydrate coatings to enable more targeted delivery of nanoparticles and their payload to distinct intracellular compartments in immune cells with potential applications in drug delivery and immunotherapy.</p>","PeriodicalId":18310,"journal":{"name":"Materials Today Bio","volume":"29 ","pages":"101371"},"PeriodicalIF":8.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11652954/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142854699","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
