Combination of polyglycerol sebacate coated with collagen for vascular engineering.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: Here, we monitored the cytocompatibility of scaffolds consisting of poly (glycerol sebacate) (PGS) coated with collagen (Col) for endothelial cell activity after 72 hours. Methods: Human endothelial cells were allocated into Control, PGS, and PGS+Col groups. Scaffolds were characterized using FTIR and HNMR spectroscopy. Contact angel analysis and SEM were used to study wettability, surface morphology, and cell attachment. Cell survival was assessed using LDH leakage assay. Levels of Tie-1, Tie-2, VE-Cadherin, and VEGFR-2 were measured using western blotting and real-time PCR. Results: FTIR and HNMR analyses revealed the proper blending in PGS+Col group. SEM imaging exhibited a flat surface in the PGS group while thin Col fibers were detected in PGS+Col surface. The addition of Col to the PGS reduced the contract angle values from 97.3˚ to 81.1˚. Compared to PGS substrate alone, in PGS+Col group, cells appropriately attached to the surface. PGS and PGS+Col did not alter the leakage of LDH to the supernatant compared to control cells, showing the cytocopatiblity of PGS-based scaffolds. SOD and NO levels were increased significantly in PGS (p<0.05) and PGS+Col groups (p<0.001), respectively. We found that PGS+Col decreased Tie-1 content in endothelial cells whereas protein levels of Tie-2 and VE-Cadherin and expression of VEGFR-2 remained unchanged compared to PGS and control groups. Conclusion: Simultaneous application of Col and PGS can stimulate normal endothleial cell morphology without the alteration of tyrosine kinases receptors and cadherin.

Project description:The development of living heart valves that grow with the patient is a promising strategy for heart valve replacements in pediatric patients. Despite active research in the field of tissue engineered heart valves there have been limited efforts to optimize the balance between biodegradation of the scaffolds and de novo extracellular matrix (ECM) synthesis by cells and study their consequences on the mechanical properties of the cell-seeded construct. This study investigates the effect of in vitro degradation and ECM secretion on the mechanical properties of hybrid polyester scaffolds. The scaffolds were synthesized from blends of fast degrading polyglycerol sebacate (PGS) and slowly degrading polycaprolactone (PCL). PGS-PCL scaffolds were electrospun using a 2:1 ratio of PGS to PCL. Accelerated hydrolytic degradation in 0.1 mM sodium hydroxide revealed 2-fold faster degradation of PGS-PCL scaffolds compared with PCL scaffolds. Thermal analysis and scanning electron microscopy demonstrated marginal change in PCL scaffold properties, while PGS-PCL scaffolds showed preferential mass loss of PGS and thinning of the individual fibers during degradation. Consequently, the mechanical properties of PGS-PCL scaffolds decreased gradually with no significant change for PCL scaffolds during accelerated degradation. Valvular interstitial cells (VICs) seeded on PGS-PCL scaffolds showed higher ECM protein secretion compared with PCL. Thus the mechanical properties of the cell-seeded PCL scaffolds did not change significantly compared with acellular scaffolds, probably due to slower degradation and ECM deposition by VICs. In contrast, the PGS-PCL scaffolds exhibited a gradual decrease in the mechanical properties of the acellular scaffolds due to degradation, which was compensated for by new matrix secreted by VICs seeded on the scaffolds. Our study demonstrated that the faster degrading PGS component of PGS-PCL accelerated the degradation rate of the scaffolds. VICs, on the other hand, were able to remodel the synthetic scaffold, depositing new matrix proteins and maintaining the mechanical properties of the scaffolds.

Project description:Cationic liposomes composed of a novel lipid (N-{6-amino-1-[N-(9Z) -octadec9-enylamino] -1-oxohexan-(2S) -2-yl} -N'- {2- [N, N-bis(2-aminoethyl) amino] ethyl} -2-hexadecylpropandiamide) (OO4) and dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DOPE) possess high amounts of amino groups and are promising systems for lipofection. Moreover, these cationic liposomes can also be used as a polycationic entity in multilayer formation using layer-by-layer technique (LbL), which is a method to fabricate surface coatings by alternating adsorption of polyanions and polycations. Since liposomes are suitable for endocytosis by or fusion with cells, controlled release of their cargo on site is possible. Here, a polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEM) system was designed of chondroitin sulfate (CS) and collagen type I (Col I) by LbL technique with OO4/DOPE liposomes embedded in the terminal layers to create an osteogenic microenvironment. Both, the composition of PEM and cargo of the liposomes were used to promote osteogenic differentiation of C2C12 myoblasts as in vitro model. The internalization of cargo-loaded liposomes from the PEM into C2C12 cells was studied using lipophilic (Rhodamine-DOPE conjugate) and hydrophilic (Texas Red-labeled dextran) model compounds. Besides, the use of Col I and CS should mimic the extracellular matrix of bone for future applications such as bone replacement therapies. Physicochemical studies of PEM were done to characterize the layer growth, thickness, and topography. The adhesion of myoblast cells was also evaluated whereby the benefit of a cover layer of CS and finally Col I above the liposome layer was demonstrated. As proof of concept, OO4/DOPE liposomes were loaded with dexamethasone, a compound that can induce osteogenic differentiation. A successful induction of osteogenic differentiation of C2C12 cells with the novel designed liposome-loaded PEM system was shown. These findings indicate that designed OH4/DOPE loaded PEMs have a high potential to be used as drug delivery or transfection system for implant coating in the field of bone regeneration and other applications.
