During chronic inflammation, the inappropriate regulation of signaling factors by macrophages accelerates the progression of disease by driving an imbalance of inflammatory cytokines, making macrophages an ideal cellular target.

Current clinical treatment, surgical grafting, can result in detrimental side effects including nerve damage, dizziness, or hearing loss. Therefore, it is essential to develop novel therapeutic procedures that can induce or accelerate healing in minimally or noninvasive approaches. Cell-free therapies have safety advantages over stem cells and are logistically favorable for clinical use. The regenerative potential by mesenchymal stem cell-conditioned media (CM) has been promising. In this study, poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) microspheres with CM encapsulated have been developed as a cell-free alternative regenerative treatment for TM perforation. The results suggest that the PLGA microspheres were capable of encapsulating and releasing CM for up to 21 days. The in vitro scratch wound proliferation assays showed increased wound healing ability of CM-loaded microspheres. In vivo guinea pig models treated with CM drops and CM-loaded microspheres using a thermoresponsive gel carrier demonstrated potential for wound healing in TM perforation. These studies provide a basis for further examination of the delivery of stem cell CM and investigation of time-dependent wound healing, long-term ototoxicity, and hearing restoration.","PeriodicalId":202,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine","volume":"32 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2023-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139132491","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We explored the effects of EFs on the growth of endothelial sprouts, precursors to functional blood vessels. We discovered that DC EFs of the same magnitude near wounded epidermis polarize initiation, growth, and turning of endothelial sprouts toward the anode. While EFs polarize sprouts, they do not change the frequency of primary sprout or branch formation. Unidirectional electrical pulses also polarize sprouts based on their time-averaged EF magnitude. Sprout polarization occurs antiparallel to the direction of electrically driven water flow (electro-osmosis) and is consistent with the direction of sprout polarization induced by pressure-driven flow. These results support the role of EFs in controlling the direction of neovascularization during the healing of soft tissues and tissue engineering.","PeriodicalId":202,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine","volume":"55 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2023-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139162934","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the high hydrophobicity of PCL is associated with poor cell affinity. Surface modification of PCL can increase this cell affinity, making PCL an improved scaffold material for acellular vascular grafts. In this study, the surface of PCL films was modified by hydrolysis, aminolysis, and the combination thereof to introduce carboxyl, hydroxyl, and amino groups on the surface. Only the hydrolyzed films exhibited a significant increase in their hydrophilicity, although further testing showed that all aminolysis conditions had amino groups on the surface. Furthermore, in vitro experiments with human umbilical endothelial cells (HUVECs) were performed to assess changes in cell affinity for PCL due to the surface treatments. PCL treated with sodium hydroxide (NaOH), a hydrolysis reaction, showed a significant increase in endothelial cell adhesion after 24 hours with a significant increase in cell survival after 72 hours. Thus, NaOH treatment improves the biocompatibility and endothelialization of PCL, creating a competent candidate for artificial, acellular, biodegradable vascular grafts.","PeriodicalId":202,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine","volume":"125 S179","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2023-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139006347","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the establishment of a culture condition capable of generating organoids from all segments of the cattle intestine has remained elusive. Although previous research has described the development of bovine jejunal, ileal, and colonic organoids, this study marks the first report of successful bovine duodenal and rectal organoid development. Maintenance of these organoids through serial passages and cryopreservation was achieved, with higher success rates observed in large intestinal organoids compared to their small intestinal counterparts. A novel approach involving the use of biopsy forceps during initial tissue sampling streamlined the subsequent tissue processing, simplifying the procedure compared to previously established protocols in cattle. In addition, our study introduced a more cost-effective culture medium based on advanced DMEM/F12, diverging from frequently used commercially available organoid culture media. This enhancement improves the accessibility to organoid technology by reducing culture costs. Crucially, the derived organoids from the jejunum, ileum, colon, and rectum faithfully preserved the structural, cellular, and genetic characteristics of the in vivo intestinal tissue. This research underscores the significant potential of adult bovine intestinal organoids as a physiologically and morphologically relevant in vitro model. Such organoids provide a renewable and sustainable resource for a broad spectrum of studies, encompassing investigations into normal intestinal physiology in cattle and the intricate host-pathogen interactions of clinically and economically significant enteric pathogens.","PeriodicalId":202,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2023-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139232648","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite progress in surgical technique, rotator cuff repairs (RCRs) do not always heal efficiently. Many failures occur at the bone-tendon interface as a result of poor healing capacity of the tendon and failure to regenerate the native histological anatomy of the enthesis. While allografts are commercially available, clinical use is limited as they do not stimulate tissue regeneration and are associated with a structural failure of up to 40% in re-tear cases. Novel tissue engineering strategies are being developed with promise, but most involve addition of cells and/or growth factors which extends the timeline for clinical translation. Thus, there exists a significant unmet clinical need for easily translatable surgical augmentation approaches that can improve healing in RCR. Here we describe the development of a decellularized tendon matrix (DTM) putty that preserves native tendon bioactivity using a novel processing technique. In vitro, DTM promoted proliferation of tenocytes and adipose-derived stem cells with an increase in expression-specific transcription factors seen during enthesis development, Scleraxis and Sox9. When placed in a rabbit model of a chronic rotator cuff tear, DTM improved histological tissue repair by promoting calcification at the bone-tendon interface more similar to the normal fibrocartilaginous enthesis. Taken together, these data indicate that the engineered DTM putty retains a pro-regenerative bioactivity that presents a promising translational strategy for improving healing at the enthesis.","PeriodicalId":202,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine","volume":"14 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2023-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139269084","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, its development lags behind that of artificial blood vascular tissue for ischemic diseases. In this study, we constructed artificial 3D lymphatic vascular tissue, termed ASCLT, by co-cultivation of ECM-nanofilm-coated human adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (hASCs) and human dermal lymphatic endothelial cells (HDLECs). The effect of hASCs in lymphatic vessel network formation was evaluated by comparison with the tissue based on fibroblasts, termed FbLT. Our results showed that the density of lymphatic vascular network in ASCLT was higher than that in FbLT, demonstrating a promoting effect of hASCs on lymphatic vascular formation. This result was also supported by higher levels of lymphangiogenesis-promoting factors, such as bFGF, HGF, and VEGF-A in ASCLT than in FbLT. To evaluate the therapeutic effects, FbLTs and ASCLTs were subcutaneously transplanted to mouse hindlimb lymphatic drainage interruption models by removal of popliteal and subiliac lymph nodes. Despite the restricted engraftment of lymphatic vessels, ASCLT promoted regeneration of irregular and diverse lymphatic drainage in the skin, as visualized by indocyanine green imaging. Moreover, transplantation of ASCLT to the popliteal lymph node resection area also resulted in lymphatic drainage regeneration. Histological analysis of the generated drainage visualized by FITC-dextran injection revealed that the drainage was localized in the subcutaneous area shallower than the dermal muscle. These findings demonstrate that ASCLT promotes lymphatic drainage in vivo and that hASCs can serve as an autologous source for treatment of secondary lymphedema by tissue engineering.","PeriodicalId":202,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine","volume":"27 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135584787","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Periodontitis is characterized by bone resorption and periodontal tissue destruction owing to oral microbiota, mechanical stress, and systemic diseases such as diabetes mellitus. Human dental pulp mesenchymal stem cells (hDPMSCs) were analyzed as potential candidates for periodontal tissue regeneration. Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), also known as aspirin, has been shown to promote osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells. We investigated the effect of ASA pretreatment on periodontitis in order to achieve a more appealing prognosis of bone resorption. Methods. The effect of ASA on cell proliferation was detected by the CCK-8 assay, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining, alizarin red staining (ARS), and western blot were used to investigate the effect of different ASA concentrations on hDPMSCs’ osteogenic differentiation and possible signaling pathways. Periodontitis was induced for 4 weeks. Stem cells pretreated with 50 µg/mL of ASA were transplanted into six-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats by local and systemic injection once a week for two weeks. Four weeks after cell therapy, the rats were sacrificed for sampling to complete the molecular and morphological experiments. Results. In vitro experiments revealed that 50 µg/mL of ASA had a significant effect on cell osteogenic differentiation. That is, when ASA was administered, the MAPK signaling pathway was activated. Notably, further vivo experiments revealed that ASA-hDPMSCs increased the area of bone regeneration and the OPG/RANKL ratio, suppressed TNF-α and IL-1 expression, and promote alveolar bone repair. Conclusion. Our study extends the findings of previous research, firstly demonstrating that the use of ASA-pretreated hDPMSCs offers a novel therapy for the treatment of periodontitis for future clinical application.","PeriodicalId":202,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine","volume":"12 9","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135818342","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Amniotic membrane (AM) is a versatile surgical tool for tissue stabilization, antifibrotic properties, and regeneration. Initial clinical case studies now demonstrated intravitreal tolerance as well as good anatomical and functional results for degenerative retinal diseases. Due to its diverse wound healing properties, AM could have promoting, suppressive, or no effects on PVR. To illuminate the potential of epiretinal AM transplantation in complex retinal detachment cases, we investigated its influence on human primary PVR (hPVR) cells in vitro. In our cell culture study, hPVR cells were isolated from surgically removed PVR membranes. Following incubation with AM for 48 h, AM-incubated hPVR showed significantly reduced proliferation (BrdU-ELISA; <math xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\" id=\"M1\"> <mi>p</mi> <mo><</mo> <mn>0.001</mn> </math> ), migration (Boyden chamber, scratch assay; <math xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\" id=\"M2\"> <mi>p</mi> </math> = 0.003 and <math xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\" id=\"M3\"> <mi>p</mi> <mo><</mo> <mn>0.001</mn> </math> ), and cell adhesion ( <math xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\" id=\"M4\"> <mi>p</mi> </math> = 0.005).

Next, immunofluorescence showed a myofibroblastic phenotype with reduced expression of fibrosis markers in AM-incubated cells, which was confirmed by Western blot analysis. In the proteomics assay, AM significantly regulated proteins by a more than 2-fold increase in expression which were related to the cytoskeleton, lipid metabolism, cell-matrix contraction, and protein folding. In conclusion, this in vitro work suggests no induction of fibrosis and other key steps in the pathogenesis of PVR through AM but rather inhibiting properties of profibrotic cell behavior, making it a possible candidate for suppression of PVR.
