Nanoscale Acoustic Oscillator for Mechanoimmunology: NAOMI

ABSTRACT: Mechanoimmunology provides a powerful framework for understanding how mechanical forces orchestrate immune responses, offering insights into immune cell functions and the mechanisms underlying mechanotransduction. However, a major challenge in this field is the absence of reliable platforms that deliver precise and consistent mechanical stimuli to individual cells while achieving practical and reproducible mechanobiological activation of immune cells. In this work, we introduce a highly sensitive and stable nanoscale acoustic oscillator for mechanoimmunology applications: NAOMI. NAOMI features a micropatterned substrate that promotes uniform cell monolayer formation, seamlessly integrated with an acoustic transducer system capable of generating precise nanoscale oscillations (±1 nm deviation) for up to 72 h of continuous stimulation. Unlike conventional passive mechanobiological platforms that rely on static stiffness or topographical cues, NAOMI enables programmable, uniform 3D oscillations, delivering finely tuned and reproducible mechanical stimulation for diverse experimental applications. Validation studies demonstrate that NAOMI-induced oscillations significantly amplify stress intensity and cell displacement, driving robust M1 pro-inflammatory polarization in macrophages. With its high precision, stability, and tunability, NAOMI offers a powerful and versatile platform for studying mechanoimmunology and holds strong potential to support future research and enable innovative immunotherapy applications.

Aging-associated Decline in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Mechanosensation is Mediated by Piezo1 Channel

Project description:Aging of the vasculature is associated with detrimental changes in vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) mechanosensitivity to extrinsic forces in their surrounding microenvironment. However, how chronological aging alters VSMCs’ ability to sense and adapt to mechanical perturbations remains unexplored. Here, we show defective VSMC mechanosensation in aging measured with ultrasound tweezers-based micromechanical system, force instantaneous frequency spectrum and transcriptome analyses. The mechanobiological study reveals thataged VSMCs adapt a relatively inert solid-like state with altered actin cytoskeletal integrity, resulting in an impairment in their mechanosensitivity and dynamic mechanoresponse to mechanical perturbations. The aging-associated decline in mechanosensation behaviors is mediated by hyperactivity of Piezo1-dependent calcium signaling. Inhibition of Piezo1 alleviates vascular aging and partially restores the loss in dynamic contractile properties in aged cells. Altogether, our study reveals the novel signaling pathway underlying aging-associated aberrant mechanosensation in VSMC and identifies Piezo1 as a potential therapeutic mechanobiological target to alleviate vascular aging.

Actuation Enhances Patterning in Human Neural Tube Organoids

Project description:Tissues achieve their complex spatial organization though physical interactions mediated by mechanical forces. Current strategies to generate in-vitro tissues have largely failed to implement such active, dynamically coordinated mechanical manipulations, relying instead on extracellular matrices which respond to, rather than impose mechanical forces. Here we develop devices which enable the actuation of organoids, and show that active mechanical forces increase growth and lead to enhanced patterning in an organoid model of the neural tube derived from single human pluripotent stem cells (hPSC). We demonstrate that organoid mechanoregulation due to actuation operates in a temporally restricted competence window, and that organoid response to stretch is mediated extracellularly by matrix stiffness and intracellularly by cytoskeleton contractility and planar cell polarity. Exerting active mechanical forces on organoids using the approaches developed here is widely applicable and should enable the generation of more reproducible, programmable organoid shape, identity and patterns, opening avenues for use of these tools in regenerative medicine and disease modelling applications.

Dissecting the effect of 3D micro-scaffolds on the transcriptome of Neural Precursors Stem Cells with computational approaches: a focus on mechanotrasduction

Project description:3D cell cultures are becoming more and more important in the field of regenerative medicine due to their ability to mimic the cellular physiological microenvironment. Among the different types of 3D scaffolds, we focus on the Nichoid, a miniaturized scaffold with a structure inspired by the natural staminal niche. The Nichoid can activate cellular responses simply by subjecting the cells to mechanical stimuli. This kind of influence results in different cellular morphology and organization, but the molecular bases of these changes remain largely unknown. Through RNA-seq approach on murine Neural Precursors Stem Cells expanded inside the Nichoid, we investigated the deregulated genes and pathways showing that the Nichoid causes alteration in genes strongly connected to mechanobiological functions. Moreover, we fully dissected this mechanism highlighting how the changes start at a membrane level, with subsequent alterations in the cytoskeleton, signaling pathways, and metabolism, all leading to a final alteration in gene expression. The results shown here demonstrate that the Nichoid influences the biological and genetic response of stem cells thorough specific alterations of cellular signaling. The characterization of these pathways elucidates the role of mechanical manipulation on stem cells, with possible implications in regenerative medicine applications.

Single-cell gene expression profile of adult cochlea in NIHL vs. VPA-NIHL

Project description:Hearing functions through the mechanical transduction of inner ear sensory cells, hair cells, and their connections to the auditory neurons, which convert the stimuli into electrical signals to be detected by the brain. Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) caused by exposure to excessively sounds cannot be medically corrected. Strategies to overcome the apparently irreversible noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) in mammals become paramount for hearing treatment. The drug has been reported in attenuating inflammation in different species. Here, we tested the effect of the drug in acoustic trauma. We carried out single-cell RNA sequencing to examine the gene expression profiles comparing Drug group with Untreated group in response to the acoustic trauma.

Acoustic modulation of mechanosensitive genes and adipocyte differentiation

Project description:Eukaryotic cells are equipped with multiple mechanosensing systems and perceive wide range of mechanical stimuli from the environment. However, cell-level responses against acoustic waves, which transmits feeble but highly frequent physical perturbation, largely remains uninvestigated, especially with regard to audible range of sound. Here we investigate the effect of acoustic stimulation on gene expression profiles of mammalian cultured cells. A direct sound emission system was set up using a vibrational transducer to directly generate acoustic waves in culture medium. A custom-made vibrating plate made of PEEK (poly ether ether ketone) plastic was used as a diaphragm. A set of sound patterns including single-frequency sound and white noise were generated by NCH Tone Generator software. Sound intensity was directly measured by recording it in water using a hydrophone and the pressure level was calculated. C2C12 myoblasts cultured in a plastic dish with approximately 50% confluency were subjected to acoustic stimulation. 440 Hz and 14k Hz single-frequency sine wave sound were selected as representatives of low and high audible frequencies, and white noise was selected as a random noise pattern. 2 and 24 hours after continuous emission of these sound at 100 Pa, total RNA was extracted and subjected to the gene expression profiling analysis by RNA-sequencing technique. Total 42 early- and 145 late-response genes were identified as sound-sensitive genes in 2 and 24 hours stimulation, respectively. Gene annotation analyses revealed that in addition to the known mechanosensitive activities such as fluid shear stress response, cell migration, cell adhesion and blood vessel development, variety of pathways and processes were identified to be affected by acoustic stimulation.
