Dynamic compression improves chondrogenesis in the tissue engineered model of cartilage.

ABSTRACT: Hyaline cartilage is a dense avascular tissue with low regenerative potential, present at the ends of the diarthrodial joints and in the cartilage growth plate. Skeletal diseases often result from extracellular changes in this tissue; however, studies of these are hindered by the tissue complexity, the difficulty in obtaining human material, and the cost of generating animal models. Recent developments in tissue engineering are opening possibilities to develop mechanoresponsive zonally stratified models of cartilage in vitro. In this study, we optimised a 3D model of cartilage using chondroprogenitor cells cultured for 21 days in 2% agarose hydrogel constructs with daily dynamic compression. Our hydrogel constructs developed pericellular matrices with nanostiffness comparable to native murine tissue and showed increased production of extracellular matrix components and expression of chondrogenic and differentiation markers. Daily dynamic compression resulted in progressive increase in mechanoresponsive gene expression and promoted a juvenile cartilage phenotype, decreasing expression of dedifferentiation and cartilage degradation markers. Our study highlights the potential of hydrogel-enhanced chondrogenesis and proposes an adaptable and scalable in vitro model to study mechanoresponses, intracellular signals and pericellular matrix involvement in cartilage development and disease.

Compressed and non-compressed tissue-engineered HS-deficient and WT cartilage

Project description:Murine primary rib-cage chondrocytes (mRCs) were isolated from E15.5 WT and HS-deficient Ext1gt/gt mice and expanded for 6-7 days. Tissue-engineered cartilage was generated by a 14-day chondrogenic culture of mRCs at 5×10^5 cells per 25 µl agarose carrier. Engineered cartilage was exposed to cyclic unconfined compression for 3 hours: 10-minute cycles of dynamic unconfined compression (25 % dynamic compression at 1 Hz superimposed to 10 % static off-set) were intermitted by 10-minute breaks (10 % static off-set).

Biomimetic strategy for cartilage formation: synergy of stem cell micro-aggregates and supramolecular peptide nanofibers

Project description:Recapitulation of embryonic developmental events is receiving increasing recognition as a strategy to induce robust tissue regeneration. In this work, we aimed to explore the critical events of cartilage formation by combining adult human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (hBMSCs) with supramolecular nanofibrous hydrogel. The micro-aggregation led to the altered global transcriptional profiles of hBMSCs and enhanced chondrogenic commitment early in 24h. Furthermore, the supramolecular nanofiber structure formed by peptide amphiphiles (PAs) maintained the cell cohesion and favored the deposition of cartilaginous matrix, thus facilitating the progression of differentiation. Upon subcutaneous implantation, the hBMSCs microaggregates-laden PA hydrogel demonstrated evident ectopic cartilage formation. Notably, RNA-sequencing data illustrated that the PA hydrogel facilitated the in vivo chondrogenesis progression of the encapsulated donor cells, and also activated the chondrogenesis in the host tissue via paracrine signaling. We conclude that PA hydrogel delivering microaggregates of hBMSCs could recapitulate the critical developmental events during cartilage development. This bioinspired approach will offer the potential to regenerate functional and durable tissues for the functional recovery of traumatic injuries of the cartilaginous skeleton .

LC-MS of Craniofacial cartilage organoids from ESCs

Project description:Knowledge of cell signaling pathways that drive human neural crest differentiation into craniofacial chondrocytes is incomplete, yet essential for using stem cells to regenerate craniomaxillofacial structures. To accelerate translational progress, we developed a differentiation protocol that generated self-organizing craniofacial cartilage organoids from human embryonic stem cell-derived neural crest stem cells. Histological staining of cartilage organoids revealed tissue architecture and staining typical of elastic cartilage. Protein and post-translational modification (PTM) mass spectrometry and snRNASeq data showed that chondrocyte organoids expressed robust levels of cartilage extracellular matrix (ECM) components: many collagens, aggrecan, perlecan, proteoglycans, and elastic fibers. We identified two populations of chondroprogenitor cells, mesenchyme cells and nascent chondrocytes and the growth factors involved in paracrine signaling between them. We show that ECM components secreted by chondrocytes not only create a structurally resilient matrix that defines cartilage, but also play a pivotal autocrine cell signaling role to determine chondrocyte fate.

Proteome Analysis of stromal cells embedded in nanocomposite hydrogels stimulated with ultrasound

Project description:The regeneration of cartilage is a crucial aspect in the treatment of osteoarthritis. In recent years, cartilage regeneration has been pursued through several bioengineering strategies and using different stem cell types, such as adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (ASCs), however with a rather inefficient expression of key chondrogenic markers. Here, we analyzed the proteome of ASCs embedded in a nanocomposite hydrogel stimulated with ultrasound waves, focusing on pathways related to cartilage regeneration.

Bi-directional cell-pericellular matrix interactions direct stem cell fate

Project description:Modifiable hydrogels have revealed tremendous insight into how physical characteristics of cells’ 3D environment drive stem cell lineage specification. However, in native tissues, cells do not passively receive signals from their niche. Instead they actively probe and modify their pericellular space to suit their needs, yet the dynamics of cells’ reciprocal interactions with their pericellular matrix when encapsulated within hydrogels remains relatively unexplored. Here, we show that human bone marrow stromal cells (hMSC) encapsulated within hyaluronic acid-based hydrogels modify their pericellular environment through degradation and/or protein secretion, imparting them with similar pericellular stiffnesses, regardless of initial hydrogel properties. These cell-secreted pericellular matrices play a role in regulating hMSC fate, with secretion of a stiff proteinaceous pericellular matrix associated with adipogenesis, and degradation with osteogenesis. Our observations suggest that hMSC participate in a bi-directional interplay between the properties of their 3D milieu and their own secreted pericellular matrix, and that this combination of interactions drives fate.

Self-organized emergence of hyaline cartilage in hiPSC-derived multi-tissue organoids

Project description:Here, we developed a simple xeno- and feeder-free protocol for human hyaline cartilage production in vitro using hydrogel-cultured multi-tissue organoids (MTO). We investigate gene regulatory networks during spontaneous hiPSC-MTO differentiation using RNA sequencing and bioinformatic analyses. We find the interplays between BMPs and neural FGF pathways are associated with MTO phenotype transition. We recognize TGF-beta/BMP and Wnt signaling likely contribute to the long-term maintenance of cartilage growth and specific increase in articular cartilage development. By comparing MTO cartilage transcription signature with human lower limb chondrocytes, we observe MTO chondrocytes show strong correlation with fetal lower limb cartilage tissues. Collectively, our findings describe self-organized emergence of MTO hyaline cartilage, its associated molecular pathways, and spontaneous adoption of articular cartilage development trajectories by MTO.

Transcriptome-based screening of ion channels and transporters in a migratory chondroprogenitor cell line isolated from late-stage osteoarthritic cartilage

Project description:Chondrogenic progenitor cells (CPCs) may be used as an alternative source of cells with potentially superior chondrogenic potential compared to mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), and could be exploited for future regenerative therapies targeting articular cartilage in degenerative diseases such as osteoarthritis. We studied the profiles of those ion channel and transporter families that may be relevant to chondroprogenitor cell physiology using Affymetrix microarrays.
