In pregnant women, the risk factors for the need of intensive care treatment are generally the same as in the overall population. Of note, COVID-19-positive women deliver earlier than COVID-19-negative women, and the risk for severe neonatal and perinatal morbidity and mortality is significantly higher. The probability and pathways of vertical transmission of the virus from the pregnant woman to the fetus are highly controversial. Recent data have shown that 54 (13%) of 416 neonates born to COVID-19-positive women were infected. Here, we investigated term placentas collected before the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and studied the main COVID-19 receptors angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), transmembrane protease serine subtype 2 (TMPRSS2), as well as neuropilin 1 (NRP1). We performed real-time PCR and immunofluorescence on cryosections in combination with markers for syncytiotrophoblast, endothelial cells, macrophages and stromal cells. The PCR studies showed expression of both the truncated delta form of ACE2, which does not bind the COVID-19 spike protein, and the long form. The ACE2 antibody used does not distinguish between the two forms. We did not observe expression of the canonical SARS-CoV-2 entry machinery on syncytio- and cytotrophoblast. ACE2 and TMPRSS2 are co-expressed in a subpopulation of stromal cells, which in part are CD68-positive macrophages. NRP1 is localized to endothelial cells. In sum, the term placenta is not an organ that directly favors vertical transmission of COVID-19; however, microtraumas and placentitis may weaken its barrier function.</p>","PeriodicalId":9717,"journal":{"name":"Cells Tissues Organs","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9148884/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9350414","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Without vascularization, not only do cell masses fail to grow, but they may also exhibit an area of necrosis, indicating a lack of oxygen and nutrients. In the present study, we used the so-called tyrosine protein kinase kit (c-Kit)-positive cardiac progenitor cells (CPCs) to generate cardiac cellularized silk fibroin scaffolds, multipotent cells isolated from the adult heart to date that can show some degree of differentiation toward the cardiac phenotype. To test their ability to differentiate into the cardiac phenotype in vivo as well, CPC and collagen organoid-like masses were implanted into nude mice and their behavior observed. Since the 3-dimensional structure of cardiac tissue can be preserved by scaffolds, we prepared in parallel different silk fibroin scaffolds with 3 different geometries and tested their behavior in 3 different models of immunosuppressed animals. Unfortunately, CPC cellularized silk fibroin scaffolds cannot be used in vivo. CPCs implanted alone or in collagen type I gel were destroyed by CD3+ lymphocyte aggregates, whereas the porous and partially oriented scaffolds elicited a consistent foreign body response characterized by giant cells. Only the electrospun meshes were resistant to the foreign body reaction. In conclusion, c-Kit-positive CPCs, although expressing a good level of cardiac differentiation markers in vitro with or without fibroin meshes, are not suitable for an in vivo model of cardiac organoids because they are degraded by a T-cell-mediated immune response. Even scaffolds which may preserve the survival of these cells in vivo also induced a host response. However, among the tested scaffolds, the electrospun meshes (F-scaffold) induced a lower response compared to all the other tested structures.</p>","PeriodicalId":9717,"journal":{"name":"Cells Tissues Organs","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9584171","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, we optimized the pulsing condition using an OptiMEM-GlutaMAX medium as the electroporation buffer and found 2 pulses of 270 V, each for 10 ms and 10 s interval, is the most efficient condition to have a high rate of transfection and cell survival. Moreover, supplementing 3% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) into the electroporation medium considerably improved the cell viability after the electroporation process. The electroporation procedure resulted in >98% transfection efficiency and >97% cell survival rate using reporter plasmids. Finally, using CRISPR/Cas9-encoding vectors, we targeted BMP15 and GDF9 genes in sheep EF cells. The electroporated cells are associated with a 52% indels rate using single gRNAs as well as a highly efficient target deletion using 2 gRNAs.

These matrices typically are generated using extended culture with ascorbic acid to boost ECM production. Applying this technique to cancer cell cultures could advance the study of cancer ECM and its effects on recruitment and training of the tumor microenvironment, but ascorbic acid is potently cytotoxic to cancer cells. Macromolecular crowding (MMC) agents can also be added to increase matrix deposition based on the excluded volume principle. We report the use of MMC alone as an effective strategy to generate brain cancer cell-derived matrices for downstream analyses and cell migration studies. We cultured the mouse glioblastoma cell line GL261 for 1 week in the presence of three previously reported MMC agents (carrageenan, Ficoll 70/400, and hyaluronic acid). We measured the resulting deposition of collagens and sulfated glycosaminoglycans using quantitative assays, as well as other matrix components by immunostaining. Both carrageenan and Ficoll promoted significantly more accumulation of total collagen content, sulfated glycosaminoglycan content, and fibronectin staining. Only Ficoll, however, also demonstrated a significant increase in collagen I staining. The results were more variable in 3D spheroid culture. We focused on Ficoll MMC matrices, which were isolated using the small molecule Raptinal to induce cancer cell apoptosis and matrix decellularization. The cancer cell-derived matrix promoted significantly faster migration of human astrocytes in a scratch wound assay, which may be explained by focal adhesion morphology and an increase in cellular metabolic activity. Ultimately, these data show MMC culture is a useful technique to generate cancer cell-derived matrices and study the effects on stromal cell migration related to wound repair.</p>","PeriodicalId":9717,"journal":{"name":"Cells Tissues Organs","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9376193/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9131600","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given the central role peristalsis plays in physiology and pathophysiology, we were motivated to design a bioreactor capable of holistically mimicking peristalsis. We engineered a novel rotating screw-drive based design combined with a peristaltic pump, in order to deliver multi-axial strain and concurrent shear stress to a biocompatible polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) membrane \"wall.\" Radial indentation and rotation of the screw drive against the wall demonstrated multi-axial strain evaluated via finite element modeling. Experimental measurements of strain using piezoelectric strain resistors were in close alignment with model-predicted values (15.9 ± 4.2% vs. 15.2% predicted). Modeling of shear stress on the \"wall\" indicated a uniform velocity profile and a moderate shear stress of 0.4 Pa. Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) seeded on the PDMS \"wall\" and stimulated with peristalsis demonstrated dramatic changes in actin filament alignment, proliferation, and nuclear morphology compared to static controls, perfusion, or strain, indicating that hMSCs sensed and responded to peristalsis uniquely. Lastly, significant differences were observed in gene expression patterns of calponin, caldesmon, smooth muscle actin, and transgelin, corroborating the propensity of hMSCs toward myogenic differentiation in response to peristalsis. Collectively, our data suggest that the peristalsis bioreactor is capable of generating concurrent multi-axial strain and shear stress on a \"wall.\" hMSCs experience peristalsis differently than perfusion or strain, resulting in changes in proliferation, actin fiber organization, smooth muscle actin expression, and genetic markers of differentiation.

Increasing the conductivity of hydrogel materials often necessitates the addition of dopant materials that facilitate electron mobility. However, very little electron transfer is observed in native cell signaling and most of these materials are opaque, severely limiting microscopy applications commonly employed to assess cell culture morphology and function.

Among the likely routes, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transitions (EMTs) emerge as important source of these cells. EMTs manifest themselves as a phenotypic transition in terminally differentiated epithelial cells into mesenchymal cells which are closely related to embryogenesis and organ development as well as in chronically inflamed tissues and neoplasia. There exists a potential for successful engineering of biomimetic environments that closely reflects and reciprocates the dynamic changes in the cellular microenvironment during EMT and relies on integrating the mechanical sensing mechanisms found in the native tissues into the synthetic scaffolds to understand cellular plasticity. Extracellular matrix (ECM) has complex structures composed of a collection of extracellular molecules including fibrous proteins and glycoproteins in a hydrated mixture of glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans. Therefore, fibrous materials have been increasingly applied in tissue engineering applications since biomaterials need to restore ECM structures to provide physical, biochemical, and biomechanical signals to define cellular behaviors and tissue functions. This review summarizes materials used for fibrous scaffolds including natural and synthetic materials, highlights recent development of fabrication techniques, characteristic architectures, and properties and different applications of fibrous scaffolds in tissue engineering.
