Untangling the effects of peptide sequences and nanotopographies in a biomimetic niche for directed differentiation of iPSCs by assemblies of genetically engineered viral nanofibers.

ABSTRACT: Here we report the design of a unique matrix, assembled from engineered M13 phage bionanofibers with specific cues of nanotopographies and versatile signal peptides to simulate native niche for directing the fate of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). By independently varying the peptide sequences and nanotopographies, we find that the resident iPSCs on the phage matrix are first differentiated into mesenchymal progenitor cells (MPCs), which are further differentiated into osteoblasts in the absence of osteogenic supplements due to the elongation induced by phage nanofibers. The phage-based matrix represents not only a biomimetic stem cell niche enabling independently varying biochemical and biophysical cues in one system but also a substrate for generating a safe and efficient cell source for tissue engineering.

Project description:The major difference between tissue healing and regeneration is the extent of instructional cues available to precisely direct the biological response. A classic example is reparative or osteodentin that is seen in response to physicochemical injury to the pulp-dentin complex. Dentin regeneration can direct the differentiation of dental stem cells using concerted actions of both soluble (biomolecules, agonists, and antagonists) and insoluble (matrix topology) cues. The major purpose of this study was to examine the synergistic combination of two discrete biomaterial approaches by utilizing nanofiber scaffolds in discrete configurations (aligned or random) with incorporated polymeric microspheres capable of controlled release of growth factors. Further, to ensure appropriate disinfection for clinical use, Radio-Frequency Glow Discharge (RFGD) treatments were utilized, followed by seeding with a mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) line. SEM analysis revealed electrospinning generated controlled architectural features that significantly improved MSC adhesion and proliferation on the aligned nanofiber scaffolds compared to randomly oriented scaffolds. These responses were further enhanced by RFGD pre-treatments. These enhanced cell adhesion and proliferative responses could be attributed to matrix-induced Wnt signaling that was abrogated by pre-treatments with anti-Wnt3a neutralizing antibodies. Next, we incorporated controlled-release microspheres within these electrospun scaffolds with either TGF-β1 or BMP4. We observed that these scaffolds could selectively induce dentinogenic or osteogenic markers (DSPP, Runx2, and BSP) and mineralization. This work demonstrates the utility of a novel, modular combinatorial scaffold system capable of lineage-restricted differentiation into bone or dentin. Future validation of this scaffold system in vivo as a pulp capping agent represents an innovative dentin regenerative approach capable of preserving tooth pulp vitality.
