There is a clinical need to rapidly fabricate large muscle tissue constructs for integration at the site of large volume muscle injuries. Most strategies for myotube alignment require microfabricated structures or prolonged orientation times. We utilize the MPC's natural propensity to close gaps across an injury site to guide alignment on collagen I. When MPCs are exposed to an open boundary free of cells, they migrate unidirectionally into the cell-free region and align perpendicular to the original boundary direction. We study the utility of this phenomenon with biotin-streptavidin adhesion to position the cells on the substrate, and then demonstrate the robustness of this strategy with unmodified cells, creating a promising tool for MPC patterning without interrupting their natural function. We preposition MPCs in straight-line patterns separated with small gaps. This temporary positioning initiates the migratory nature of the MPCs to align and form myotubes across the gaps, similar to how they migrate and align with a single open boundary. There is a directional component to the MPC migration perpendicular (90°) to the original biotin-streptavidin surface patterns. The expression of myosin heavy chain, the motor protein of muscle thick filaments, is confirmed through immunocytochemistry in myotubes generated from MPCs in our patterning process, acting as a marker of skeletal muscle differentiation.

Tendon repair failure can be partially attributed to the tendon's poor intrinsic healing capacity and the repurposing of sutures from other clinical applications. Electrospun materials show promise as a biological scaffold to support endogenous tendon repair, but their relatively low tensile strength has limited their clinical translation. It is hypothesized that combining electrospun fibers with a material with increased tensile strength may improve the suture's mechanical properties while retaining biophysical cues necessary to encourage cell-mediated repair. This article describes the production of a hybrid electrospun-extruded suture with a sheath of submicron electrospun fibers and a core of melt-extruded fibers. The porosity and tensile strength of this hybrid suture is compared with an electrospun-only braided suture and clinically used sutures Vicryl and polydioxanone (PDS). Bioactivity is assessed by measuring the adsorbed serum proteins on electrospun and melt-extruded filaments using mass spectrometry. Human hamstring tendon fibroblast attachment and proliferation were quantified and compared between the hybrid and control sutures. Combining an electrospun sheath with melt-extruded cores created a hybrid braid with increased tensile strength (70.1 ± 0.3N) compared with an electrospun only suture (12.9 ± 1 N, <i>p</i> < 0.0001). The hybrid suture had a similar force at break to clinical sutures, but lower stiffness and stress. The Young's modulus was 772.6 ± 32 MPa for the hybrid suture, 1693.0 ± 69 MPa for PDS, and 3838.0 ± 132 MPa for Vicryl, <i>p</i> < 0.0001. Hybrid sutures had lower overall porosity than electrospun-only sutures (40 ± 4% and 60 ± 7%, respectively, <i>p</i> = 0.0018) but had a significantly larger overall porosity and average pore diameter compared with surgical sutures. There were similar clusters of adsorbed proteins on electrospun and melt-extruded filaments, which were distinct from PDS. Tendon fibroblast attachment and cell proliferation on hybrid and electrospun sutures were significantly higher than on clinical sutures. This study demonstrated that a bioactive suture with increased tensile strength and lower stiffness could be produced by adding a core of 10 μm melt-extruded fibers to a sheath of electrospun fibers. In contrast to currently used sutures, the hybrid sutures promoted a bioactive response: serum proteins adsorbed, and fibroblasts attached, survived, grew along the sutures, and adopted appropriate morphologies.</p>","PeriodicalId":56375,"journal":{"name":"Tissue Engineering Part A","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10954604/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138833215","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Alterations in the size and number of endothelial fenestrae have been implicated in the pathogenesis of various diseases. The re-creation of fenestrated endothelium using human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) provides a promising avenue to investigate the involvement of fenestrae in disease mechanisms and pharmacodynamics. In this project, we aim to induce the formation of fenestrae in nonfenestrated hiPSCs-derived endothelial cells (hiPSC-ECs). Vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) and phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) were used as inducers of fenestrae in hiPSC-ECs. The assessment of fenestrae formation included gene-expression analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and immunofluorescent staining. Endothelial monolayer functionality was evaluated by dextran permeability assays. Stimulation with VEGFA and PMA significantly induced expression of the diaphragmed fenestrae-associated marker, plasmalemmal vesicle-associated protein (PLVAP), in hiPSC-ECs at the mRNA, and protein levels. SEM analysis revealed VEGFA- and PMA-induced fenestrae structures on the cell membrane of hiPSC-ECs. The increased membrane localization of PLVAP visualized by TEM and immunofluorescent staining supported these findings. The induced fenestrated endothelium in hiPSC-ECs demonstrated selective passage of small solutes across a confluent monolayer with intact cell junctions, confirming functional competence. In conclusion, we present a novel methodology for inducing and regulating fenestrated endothelium in hiPSC-ECs.
