Trace amounts of cobalt are necessary for many living organisms as it stimulates hematopoiesis and improves bone health. However, cobalt is also toxic, as it might cause allergic reactions and tissue destruction. These factors limit the application of cobalt in some medical fields. We studied the tea polysaccode-cobalt complex (TPS-Co) prepared from Qingzhuan Dark Tea polysaccharides. We used 6-week-old Sprague-Dawley rats to establish a femoral fracture model and evaluated the effects of CoCl₂ and TPS-Co on the healing of femoral fractures. In this study, treatment with TPS-Co for the same content of cobalt intake decreased the side effects associated with CoCl₂ treatment and accelerated the healing of femoral fractures in rats. This treatment method promoted angiogenesis by upregulating the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor and hypoxia-inducible factor. Bone formation was promoted via the upregulation of the expression of bone morphogenetic protein 2 and serum bone alkaline phosphatase. TPS-Co was found to actively regulate bone and vascular systems, resulting in significant bone regeneration effects. Therefore, the Qingzhuan Dark Tea polysaccharide cobalt complex might be used as an additive or drug to promote fracture healing, and thus, it might have a huge market value.</p>","PeriodicalId":56375,"journal":{"name":"Tissue Engineering Part A","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139111374","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}

The effect of decellularization was analyzed by histological examination, including Hematoxylin and Eosin, Masson's Trichrome staining, and 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole staining. Moreover, biochemical analysis of the decellularized tissues was also performed by measuring DNA content, amount of collagen, and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) after decellularization. The results showed that the tissue structure was preserved, cells were removed, and the essential components of extracellular matrix, such as collagen fibers, elastin fibers, and GAG fibers, remained after decellularization. In addition, the DNA content was decreased compared with native tissue, and the concentration of collagen and GAGs in the decellularized nerve tissue was the same as in native tissue. The <i>in vivo</i> experiment in the rat model showed that after 6 months of decellularized nerve implantation, the sciatic function index was confirmed to recover in decellularized nerve. Morphological analysis displayed a range of infiltrated cells in the decellularized nerve, similar to that in native tissue, and the number of Schwann cells that play essential for motor function and sensory in the decellularized nerve was confirmed.

However, common media have lower crowding conditions than <i>in vivo</i> tissue fluids. In addition, during the early stages of construction, most of the biomolecules secreted by the cells into the medium are lost, which negatively affects the TEVG culture process. In this study, we propose the use of macromolecular crowding (MMC) to enhance medium crowding to improve the deposition and self-assembly efficiency of major biomolecules in the early stages of TEVG culture. The addition of carrageenan significantly increased the degree of MMC in the culture medium without affecting cell viability, proliferation, and metabolic activity. Protein analysis demonstrated that the deposition of collagen types I and III and fibronectin increased significantly in the cell layers of two-dimensional and 3D smooth muscle cell cultures after the addition of a MMC agent. Collagen type I in the culture medium decreased significantly compared with that in the medium without a MMC agent. Scanning electron microscopy demonstrated that MMC agents considerably enhanced the formation of matrix protein structures during the early stages of 3D culture. Hence, MMC modifies the crowding degree of the culture medium, resulting in the rapid formation of numerous matrix proteins and fiber structures.

However, it can become damaged or impaired, sometimes requiring surgical resection and reconstruction. Previously, we clinically applied an artificial trachea composed of a polypropylene mesh and collagen sponge, with a favorable postoperative course. However, the artificial trachea presents a limitation, as the mesh is not biodegradable and cannot be used in pediatric patients. Compared to a polypropylene mesh, regenerated cartilage represents an ideal material for reconstruction of the damaged trachea. The use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) as a source for cartilage regeneration has gained widespread acceptance, but challenges such as the invasiveness of harvesting and limited cell supply persist. Therefore, we focused on the potential of human-induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived mesenchymal stem cells (iMSCs) for tracheal cartilage regeneration. In this study, we aimed to regenerate tracheal cartilage on an artificial trachea as a preliminary step to replace the polypropylene mesh. iMSCs were induced from hiPSCs through neural crest cells and transplanted with a polypropylene mesh covered with a collagen sponge into the damaged tracheal cartilage in immunodeficient rats. Human nuclear antigen (HNA)-positive cells were observed in all six rats at 4 weeks and in six out of seven rats at 12 weeks after transplantation, indicating that transplanted iMSCs survived within the tracheal cartilage defects of rats. The HNA-positive cells coexpressed SOX9, and type II collagen was detected around HNA-positive cells in four of six rats at 4 weeks and in three of seven rats at 12 weeks after transplantation, reflecting cartilage-like tissue regeneration.

Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) is used for improved preservation. Due to the mimicked <i>in vivo</i> conditions during normothermic machine perfusion, the liver is metabolically active, which allows quality assessment during perfusion. Bile seems to be of rising interest in clinical studies, as it is easily collectible for analysis. As there are currently no data on biliary bile acids during NMP, the primary objective of this study was to use our experimental rodent NMP model to assess changes in bile composition through organ damage during perfusion to inform clinical evaluation of donor organs during NMP. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Thirty livers from male Sprague-Dawley rats in five groups underwent 6 h of NMP using either erythrocyte-supplemented DMEM or Steen solution, with or without 30 min of warm ischemia time (WIT). We conducted regular measurements of AST, ALT, LDH, and urea levels in the perfusate at 3-hour intervals. Bile samples were analyzed for biliary pH, LDH, and gamma glutamyltransferase, as well as biliary bile acids via mass spectrometry and UHPLC. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Compared with regular livers, liver injury parameters were significantly higher in our donation after circulatory death (DCD) model. Bile production was significantly reduced in livers exposed to WIT, and the bile showed a significantly more alkaline pH. This correlated with the concentration of total bile acids, which was significantly higher in livers experiencing WIT. However, regular livers produced a higher total amount of biliary bile acids during perfusion. Taurocholic acid and its metabolites were most prominent. Secondary bile acids were significantly reduced during perfusion due to the missing enterohepatic circulation. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> WIT-induced liver injury affects bile composition within our small-animal NMP model. We hypothesize this phenomenon to be attributed to the energy-driven nature of bile secretion, potentially explaining why DCD livers produce less, yet more concentrated, bile. Our results may inform clinical studies, in which biliary bile acids might have a potential as a quantifiable viability marker in human NMP liver transplantation studies.</p>","PeriodicalId":56375,"journal":{"name":"Tissue Engineering Part A","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141238842","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}

Among the essential properties that the scaffolds must possess-adequate and appropriate application-specific chemical, mechanical, and biological performance-the mechanical behavior of hydrogel-based bioprinted scaffolds is the key to their stable performance <i>in vivo</i> at the site of implantation. Hydrogels that typically constitute the main scaffold material and the medium for the cells and biomolecules are very soft, and often lack sufficient mechanical stability, which reduces their printability and, therefore, the bioprinting potential.
