Gelatin sponge patch grafting of microcryogel-based three-dimensional mesenchymal stem cells to alleviate acute liver failure
The clinical application of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) in the treatment of liver failure faces challenges due to cell quality, short engraftment time, and limited efficacy. Here, gelatin microcryogel (GM) microcarriers with pore sizes ranging from 15 to 36 μm were tuned from mixed gelatin and glutaraldehyde to develop a 3D culture system of hUCMSCs with improved therapeutic effects. Bulk RNA sequencing and in vitro assays showed that 3D-hUCMSCs exhibited significant improvement in signaling pathways related to paracrine secretion and anti-inflammation. These 3D-hUCMSCs superior compared to 2D-hUCMSCs not only in terms of paracrine secretion, protection from oxidation, and resistance to mechanical force damage, but also had better liver function improvement effect than 2D-hUCMSCs when they were transplanted as single cells into liver injury mice. Furthermore, a gelatin sponge patch grafting (GSPG) strategy was developed to enable the direct engraftment of 3D-hUCMSCs within the GM microcarriers. The results showed that overall engraftment in the host liver was significantly improved, and the life span of transplanted hosts was extended. Our study provided a practical strategy to achieve high engraftment and long retraining time of 3D-hUCMSCs in rescuing acute liver failure with gelatin matrixes.
期刊介绍:
Biomaterials is an international journal covering the science and clinical application of biomaterials. A biomaterial is now defined as a substance that has been engineered to take a form which, alone or as part of a complex system, is used to direct, by control of interactions with components of living systems, the course of any therapeutic or diagnostic procedure. It is the aim of the journal to provide a peer-reviewed forum for the publication of original papers and authoritative review and opinion papers dealing with the most important issues facing the use of biomaterials in clinical practice. The scope of the journal covers the wide range of physical, biological and chemical sciences that underpin the design of biomaterials and the clinical disciplines in which they are used. These sciences include polymer synthesis and characterization, drug and gene vector design, the biology of the host response, immunology and toxicology and self assembly at the nanoscale. Clinical applications include the therapies of medical technology and regenerative medicine in all clinical disciplines, and diagnostic systems that reply on innovative contrast and sensing agents. The journal is relevant to areas such as cancer diagnosis and therapy, implantable devices, drug delivery systems, gene vectors, bionanotechnology and tissue engineering.
