Synthetic gene circuits with promoters that are responsive to user-defined stimuli can provide a molecular switch that can be utilized by cells to control drug production. Our laboratory has previously developed a mechanogenetic gene circuit that can deliver biological drugs, such as interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra), on-demand through the activation of Transient receptor potential family, vanilloid 4 (TRPV4), a mechanosensory ion channel that has been shown to be activated transiently in response to physical stimuli such as physiological mechanical loading or hypo-osmotic stimuli. The goal of this study was to use mutations in TRPV4 to further tune the response of this mechanogenetic gene circuit. Human iPSC-derived chondrocytes harboring targeted gain-of-function mutations of TRPV4 were chondrogenically differentiated. Both mutants-V620I and T89I-showed greater total IL-1Ra production compared with wild type following TRPV4 agonist treatment, as well as mechanical or osmotic loading, but with altered temporal dynamics. Gene circuit output was dependent on the degree of TRPV4 activation secondary to GSK101 concentration or strain magnitude during loading. V620I constructs secreted more IL-1Ra compared with T89I across all experimental conditions, indicating that two mutations that cause similar functional changes to TRPV4 can result in distinct circuit activation profiles that differ from wild-type cells. In summary, we successfully demonstrate proof-of-concept that point mutations in TRPV4 that alter channel function can be used to tune the therapeutic output of mechanogenetic gene circuits.</p>","PeriodicalId":56375,"journal":{"name":"Tissue Engineering Part A","volume":" ","pages":"174-183"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141617749","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Few studies have evaluated encapsulated cell viability within high-stiffness (>1 MPa) hydrogels. We previously fabricated one formulation of a high-stiffness (>3 MPa) pentenoate-functionalized, solubilized, devitalized cartilage (PSDVC) hydrogel that possessed an injectable, paste-like precursor for easy surgical application. In the current study, the characterization of the PSDVC material was expanded by varying the degree of functionalization (i.e., 0.45-1.09 mmol/g) and amount of crosslinker, dithiothreitol (DTT), to improve the reproducibility of the high compressive moduli and evaluate the viability of encapsulated human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) in high-stiffness cartilage matrix hydrogels. Prior to crosslinking, specific formulations functionalized with 0.80 mmol/g or less of pentenoate groups retained a paste-like precursor rheology. After crosslinking, these formulations produced hydrogels with greater than 1 MPa compressive stiffness. However, hBMSCs encapsulated in PSDVC hydrogels with lower functionalization (i.e., 0.57 mmol/g, no crosslinker) had a higher stiffness (i.e., 1.4 MPa) but the lowest viability of encapsulated hBMSCs (i.e., 5%).

It can be divided into two layers: the intima, a thin and cell-dense layer atop a more heterogeneous subintima, composed of collagen and various cell types. The subintima contains penetrating capillaries and lymphatic vessels that rapidly clear injected drugs from the joint space which may vary not only with drug size and charge but also with the microstructure and composition of the intima and subintima of the synovium. Prior work has measured the mechanical properties and solute diffusivities in the synovium of porcine, bovine, and human joints. Here, we measured the Young's moduli of synovium from smaller joints of the rat knee, as well as pig and human, using atomic force microscopy (AFM). The format for AFM enabled testing of intima and subintimal regions of synovium in all three species. The Young's moduli of the subintimal regions were similar across all three species (1-1.5 kPa). Furthermore, there was little evidence of differences in Young's moduli between synovium from the intima and subintima in each species. A general similarity of data from AFM testing with moduli measured with bulk testing of pig and human synovium suggests that AFM can be useful to measure the mechanical properties of smaller joint synovium and spatial variations in stiffness with depth. Enzymatic digestion of synovium tissue from the pig was also performed with findings of lower moduli values following treatment with chondroitinase ABC but not collagenase. Although the molecular composition of the synovium is not yet fully characterized and may vary across species, these findings suggest that noncollagenous species contribute to AFM-measured properties in synovium. These are some of the first data to measure mechanical properties in small joint synovium and will be useful in models studying IA drug clearances in joints with pathology and following treatment.</p>","PeriodicalId":56375,"journal":{"name":"Tissue Engineering Part A","volume":"31 3-4","pages":"100-107"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143416335","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Direct measurement of these microenvironmental forces has been challenging, particularly for cell-dense models. To address this, we previously developed hydrogel-based force sensors that are approximately the size of a cell and can be imaged over time to computationally assess the forces exerted by surrounding cells and matrix. The goal of this project was to identify how the physical characteristics of force sensors impact measurements. Sensors were varied in size, elastic modulus, and surface coating before being included in stem cell suspensions that then spontaneously self-assembled into spheroidal neotissues. Using this model of early mesenchymal condensation, we hypothesized that larger, softer sensors would provide greater sensitivity and precision, whereas protein coatings would influence the directionality of applied forces (tensile vs. compressive). These experiments were conducted using a high-content imaging system that allowed analysis of over a thousand sensors to evaluate the various conditions. Results indicated that measurement fidelity was highest for force sensors that had a diameter >20 µm and modulus ∼0.2 kPa. Extremely soft sensors deformed too much, whereas stiffer sensors deformed too little. Collagen and N-cadherin coatings, which replicated cell-matrix or cell-cell binding, respectively, allowed for tensile forces to be exerted on the sensors, with greater forces being observed for N-cadherin sensors in these highly cellular neotissue constructs. Uncoated sensors were universally compressed due to the lack of cell-sensor adhesion.
