By using histological staining, the ADM product demonstrated the successful removal of cellular constituents without exerting any harmful influence on the extracellular matrix. The results from DNA electrophoresis also supported this phenomenon by showing the complete DNA removal in the product, accompanied by the absence of Major Histocompatibility Complex 1, which suggested the supercritical fluid is an effective method for cellular withdrawal. Moreover, the mechanical property of the ADM products, which showed similarity to that of native skin, displayed great compatibility for using our human-derived ADM as an allograft in clinical treatment. Specifically, the cell viability demonstrated the remarkable biocompatibility of the product to human bio-cellular environment which was noticeably higher than that of other products. Additionally, the significant increase in the level of growth factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor, urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor suggested the ability to stimulate cellular processes, proving the products to be innovative in the field of regeneration when applied to clinical in the future.

However, MSC clinical utility is hindered by poor survival rates post-transplantation due to the harsh microenvironment in injured tissue. Previous work has shown that the matricellular protein Tenascin-C (TNC) provides survival signaling to MSCs via the epidermal growth factor receptor by restricting its activation at the plasma membrane, resulting in enhanced prosurvival signals. Herein, we investigate how TNC influences MSC survival and MSC-mediated promotion of the wound healing process. This study examined the survival and angiogenic potential of MSCs cultured on TNC-coated surfaces under ischemic duress in vitro. We also assessed the angiogenic and wound healing outcomes of MSC + TNC in vivo using a CXCR3−/− mouse model that exhibits a delayed healing phenotype within the tissue replacement phase of repair. We found that MSCs in the presence of TNC exhibit higher levels of angiogenic-promoting processes, collagen maturation, and an overall better wound healing outcome than MSCs administered alone. This was seen in vitro in terms of enhanced tube formation. In vivo, the MSCs in the presence of TNC stabilized with a coacervate delivery system resulted in more regenerative wounds with accelerated maturation of the dermis. These findings suggest the coupling of TNC to MSCs as a promising tool for future MSC-ECM combinatorial therapies for wound healing applications.</p>","PeriodicalId":202,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine","volume":"16 12","pages":"1249-1260"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2022-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"6050434","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}

The islet cells cultured in 2D conditions produce clusters of large size, which are less efficient in terms of insulin secretion and viability. In this study, we report that ILCs formed on a PCL-based wet electrospun fibrous scaffold with larger pore size produced clusters of the desired size, compared to that cultured on a conventional electrospun sheet. The collagen functionalization on this wet electrospun polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffold showed enhanced insulin secretion and cell viability compared to the non-functionalized or conventionally electrospun PCL scaffold.

In this study, coaxial electrospinning with QK peptide (a Vascular endothelial growth factor mimetic peptide) and BMP-2 peptide–DFO (BD) was performed to produce double-modified PQBD scaffolds with vascularizing and osteogenic features. The morphology of coaxially electrospun scaffolds was verified by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy. Laser scanning confocal microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy confirmed that BD covalently bound to the surface of the P and PQ scaffolds. In vitro, the PQBD scaffold promoted the adhesion and proliferation of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs). Both QK peptide and BD showed sustainable release and preservation of biological activity, enhancing the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs and the migration of human umbilical vein endothelial cells and promoting angiogenesis. The combined ability of these factors to promote osteogenesis and angiogenesis is superior to that of each alone. In vivo, the PQBD scaffold was implanted into the bone defect, and after 8 weeks, the defect area was almost completely covered by new bone tissue.
