Transcriptome analysis revealed the symbiosis niche of 3D scaffolds to accelerate bone defect healing

ABSTRACT: 3D printed scaffolds have been shown to be superior in promoting tissue repair, but the cell-level specific regulatory network activated by 3D printing scaffolds with different material components to form a symbiosis niche have not been systematically revealed. Here, three typical 3D printed scaffolds, including natural polymer hydrogel (Gelatin-methacryloyl, GelMA), synthetic polymer material (Polycaprolactone, PCL) and bioceramic (β-tricalcium phosphate, β-TCP), were fabricated to explore the regulating effect of the symbiotic microenvironment during bone healing. Enrichment analysis showed that hydrogel promotes tissue regeneration and reconstruction by improving blood vessel generation by enhancing oxygen transport and red blood cell development. The PCL scaffold regulates cell proliferation and differentiation by promoting cellular senescence, cell cycle and DNA replication pathways, accelerating the process of endochondral ossification and the formation of callus. The β-TCP scaffold can specifically enhance the expression of osteoclast differentiation and extracellular space pathway genes to promote the differentiation of osteoclasts and promote the process of bone remolding. In these processes, specific biomaterial properties can be used to guide cell behavior and regulate molecular network in the symbiotic microenvironment to reduce the barriers of regeneration and repair.

Project description:Background & Aims: 3D Bioprinting of an endocrine pancreas is a promising future curative treatment for selected patients with insulin secretion deficiency. In this study we present an end-to-end integrative, scalable concept extending from the molecular to the macroscopic level. Methods: A hybrid scaffold device was manufactured by 3D (bio)printing. INS-1 cells with/without endothelial cells were bioprinted in gelatin methacrylate blend hydrogel. Polycaprolactone was 3D-printed and heparin-functionalized as structural scaffold component. In vitro evaluation was performed by viability and growth assays, total mRNA sequencing, and glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. In vivo, xenotransplantation to fertilized chicken eggs was used to investigate vascularization and function, and finite element analysis modeling served to detect boundary conditions and applicability for human islets of Langerhans. Results: Insulin-secreting pseudoislets were formed and resulted in a viable and proliferative experimental model. Transcriptomics revealed upregulation of proliferative and ß-cell-specific signaling cascades, downregulation of apoptotic pathways, and overexpression of extracellular matrix proteins and VEGF induced by pseudoislet formation and 3D culture. Co-culture with human endothelial cells created a natural cellular niche resulting in enhanced insulin response after glucose stimulation. Survival and function of the pseudoislets after explantation and extensive scaffold vascularization of both the hydrogel and heparinized polycaprolactone components were demonstrated in ovo. Computer simulations of oxygen, glucose, and insulin flows were used to evaluate scaffold architectures and Langerhans islets at a future transplantation site along neurovascular structures. Conclusion: A defined end-to-end process for multidisciplinary bioconvergence research on a bioartificial endocrine pancreas was developed. A modular, patient-specific device architecture is proposed for future research studies.
