IGF-1 Peptide Mimetic-functionalized Hydrogels Enhance MSC Survival and Immunomodulatory Activity


ABSTRACT: Human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have demonstrated promise when delivered to damaged tissue or tissue defects for their cytokine secretion and inflammation modulation behaviors that can promote repair. Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) has been shown to augment MSCs’ viability and survival and promote their secretion of cytokines that signal to endogenous cells, in the treatment of myocardial infarction, wound healing, and age-related diseases. Biomaterial cell carriers can be functionalized with growth factor-mimetic peptides to enhance MSC function while promoting cell retention and minimizing off-target effects seen with direct administration of soluble growth factors. Here, we functionalized alginate hydrogels with three distinct IGF-1 peptide mimetics and the integrin-binding peptide, cyclic RGD. One IGF-1 peptide mimetic (IGM-3) was found to activate Akt signaling and support survival of serum-deprived MSCs. MSCs encapsulated in alginate hydrogels that presented both IGM-3 and cRGD showed a significant reduction in pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion when challenged with interleukin-1β. Finally, MSCs cultured within the cRGD/IGM-3 hydrogels were able to blunt pro-inflammatory gene expression of human primary cells from degenerated intervertebral discs. These studies indicate the potential to leverage cell adhesive and IGF-1 growth factor peptide mimetics together to control therapeutic secretory behavior of MSCs.
