Project description:Orthotopic implantation tumor assays are frequently employed in tumor biology, drug screening, and personalized therapy researches. However, the limited representation of a complex tumor microenvironment in these implanted animal models hampers a comprehensive understanding of tumor progression and therapeutic response. In this research, we developed a 3D bioprinting method using gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) hydrogel loaded with a prolonged released system of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), embedding hepatocellular carcinoma cells, to fabricate lobule-like hepatorganoids that faithfully mimic the architecture of hepatic lobules. Moreover, we utilized GelMA hydrogel mixed with Matrigel, containing human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), to induce vascularization on the organoids. Orthotopic implantation in mouse model was performed, allowing for an improved simulation of the vascularization process within hepatorganoids. Compared to control group, 3D bioprinted lobule-like hepatorganoids exhibited prolonged survival in mice, while serum analysis revealed significantly elevated levels of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP). Eventually, our findings demonstrate that this system effectively forms orthotopic implantion of liver tumors and facilitates vascularization, which may notably contribute to the understanding of tumor biology, drug screening, and personalized therapy.

Project description:Orthotopic implantation in vivo is the ultimate target of tissue-engineering organoids research, aiming to achieve sustaining survival after implantation. However, the limited representation of a complex microenvironment in implanted accepter hampers a comprehensive understanding of long-term maintenance of tissue-engineering organoids, especially in liver. In this research, we developed a 3D bioprinting method using gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) hydrogel to fabricate lobule-like hepatorganoids, which faithfully mimic the structure of hepatic lobules with lower level of hypoxia (lobule vs 60°, 90°, control; 0.4880 vs 1.009, 0.6778, 0.8704; p < 0.01), high secretion of albumin (lobule vs 60°, 90°, control; 13.47 vs 12.39, 12.65, 10.08 mg/L; p < 0.01) and urea (lobule vs 60°, 90°, control; 5.304 vs 5.233, 4.781, 4.358 mg/L; p < 0.01) in vitro; and promotion of angiogenesis and maintenance of activity following orthotopic implantation. Loaded with a prolonged released system of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and infused with human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), we developed a fabricating method of vascularized lobule-like hepatorganoids (VLH) which possessed promoted vascularization. We identified GAS6/AXL and LAMB3/ITGA3 signaling pathway up-regulated in VLH, which was conducive to vascularization and proliferation. Furthermore, orthotopic implantation model indicated that VLH exhibited prolonged survival in vivo, with elevated level of serological biomarkers and more abundant vascularization in grafts. Eventually, our findings demonstrate that this system effectively forms orthotopic implantation of hepatorganoids and facilitates vascularization, which may notably contribute to the understanding of transplantation, drug screening, and replacement therapy.

Project description:Metastasis is a major factor for mortality in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Thus, there is a need for predictive biomarker(s) for detecting the tipping point before metastasis, so as to prevent further deterioration. To discover early warning signals of pulmonary metastasis in HCC, we analysed time-series gene expression data in the spontaneous pulmonary metastasis mouse HCCLM3-RFP model with our novel dynamic network biomarker (DNB) method. To simulate tumour growth and metastasis in patient livers, we used the spontaneous pulmonary metastasis mouse model, HCCLM3-RFP, which involves the orthotopic transplanted human HCCLM3 cell line labelled with a stable fluorescent protein.We observed that, hepatic tumours in orthotopic xenograft HCCLM3-RFP mice grew gradually from the second to the fifth week after orthotopic implantation in the primary liver tissue, whereas spontaneous pulmonary metastasis occurredonly at the last time point (the fifth week after orthotopic implantation).Thus, we chose the second, third, fourth, and fifth weeks after orthotopic implantation as observation points to collect liver tumours of five orthotopic xenograft mice at each time point and to assess the whole-genome expression.

Project description:Pterygium is an ocular surface disorder with high prevalence that can lead to vision impairment. As a pathological outgrowth of conjunctiva, pterygium involves neovascularization and chronic inflammation, but its pathogenesis remains largely unknown. Over the last decade, various types of disease models have been built to study pterygium. Here, we developed a 3D multicellular in vitro pterygium model using the digital light processing (DLP)-based 3D bioprinting of human conjunctival stem cells (hCjSCs). A novel feeder-free culture system was adopted and efficiently expanded the primary hCjSCs with homogeneity, stemness and differentiation potency. The DLP-based 3D bioprinting was able to fabricate hydrogel scaffolds that support the viability and biological integrity of the encapsulated hCjSCs. The bioprinted 3D pterygium model was fabricated with hCjSCs, immune cells and vascular cells to recapitulate the disease microenvironment. Transcriptomic analysis using RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) identified a distinct profile correlated to inflammation response, angiogenesis, and epithelial mesenchymal transition in the bioprinted 3D pterygium model. In addition, the pterygium signatures and disease relevance of the bioprinted model were validated with the public RNA-seq data from patient-derived pterygium tissues. By integrating the stem cell technology and 3D bioprinting, this is the first reported 3D in vitro disease model for pterygium that can be utilized by future studies towards the personalized medicine and the drug screening.

Project description:Traumatic muscle injury associated with volumetric muscle loss results in reversible muscle regeneration and function. Bottlenecks to conventional tissue engineering strategies to augment muscle regeneration are limited by low cell transplantation capacity by conventional injection of dissociated cells, the lack of customization of engineered tissues based on muscle defect geometry, as well as the feasibility of intra-operative use. Here, we developed a facile approach to engineer modular units of scaffold-free high-density muscle tissues in customizable geometric shapes and sizes with integration potential. For the first time, we describe aspiration-assisted intra-operative bioprinting of scaffold-free modular units for preclinical treatment of volumetric muscle loss. We demonstrated the ability of 3D modular muscle units to be bioprinted to the site of the muscle defect, leading to improved muscle, vascular, and neuromuscular regeneration in a mouse model of volumetric muscle loss. Transcriptional profiling revealed that the scaffold-free muscle units enable pre-formed cell-cell interactions that support myogenesis, unlike dissociated cells that lack cell-cell interactions. This technology of intraoperative modular muscle unit implantation is promising for clinical use for precise bioprinting of scalable tissues from geometrically tunable modular units.

Project description:Capturing cell-to-cell and cell-to-environment signals in a defined 3 dimensional (3D) microenvironment is key to study cellular functions, including cellular reprogramming towards tissue regeneration. A major challenge in current culturing methods is that these methods cannot accurately capture this multicellular 3D microenvironment. In this study, we established the framework of 3D bioprinting with plant cells to study cell viability, cell division, and cell identity. To investigate the cellular reprogramming underlying the initial cell divisions prior to microcallus formation, we collected RNA from isolated differentiated root cells immediately, 1, and 3 days after bioprinting. We showed the cell cycle re-entry of the isolated Arabidopsis and soybean cells leading to the formation of microcalli and of which the timing coincides with the induction of core cell cycle genes and regeneration-related genes. Finally, we showed that the identity of isolated cells of Arabidopsis roots expressing endodermal markers maintained longer periods of time. The framework established in this study paves the way for a general use of 3D bioprinting for studying cellular reprogramming and cell cycle re-entry towards tissue regeneration.

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.

Project description:Digital light processing (DLP) bioprinting can be used to fabricate volumetric scaffolds with intricate internal structures, such as perfusable vascular channels. The successful implementation of DLP bioprinting in tissue fabrication requires using suitable photo-reactive bioinks. Norbornene-based bioinks have emerged as an attractive alternative to (meth)acrylated macromers in 3D bioprinting owing to their mild and rapid reaction kinetics, high cytocompatibility for in situ cell encapsulation, and adaptability for post-printing modification or conjugation of bioactive motifs. In this contribution, the development of gelatin-norbornene (GelNB) is reported as a photo-cross-linkable bioink for DLP 3D bioprinting. Low concentrations of GelNB (2-5 wt.%) and poly(ethylene glycol)-tetra-thiol (PEG4SH) are DLP-printed with a wide range of stiffness (G' ≈120 to 4000 Pa) and with perfusable channels. DLP-printed GelNB hydrogels are highly cytocompatible, as demonstrated by the high viability of the encapsulated human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). The encapsulated HUVECs formed an interconnected microvascular network with lumen structures. Notably, the GelNB bioink permitted both in situ tethering and secondary conjugation of QK peptide, a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-mimetic peptide. Incorporation of QK peptide significantly improved endothelialization and vasculogenesis of the DLP-printed GelNB hydrogels, reinforcing the applicability of this bioink system in diverse biofabrication applications.

Project description:Studying primary Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia cells in vitro is very challenging due to their short survival in culture, and also due to the fact that traditional two-dimensional in vitro models lack cellular and spatial complexity present in vivo. Based on these considerations, we exploited three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting to advance in vitro models for CLL. Through RNA sequencing (RNAseq) analysis, we observed a consistent difference in gene expression profile between 2D and 3D samples, indicating a different behavior of the cells in the two different culture settings.
