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:Gene expressions were measured in 8 normal breast duct samples and 8 normal breast lobule samples from premenopausal patients using Agilent-028004 SurePrint G3 Human GE 8x60K Microarray. A total of 426 transcripts were identified as being significantly differentially expressed. Supervised hierarchical clustering based on the 426 differentially expressed genes showed distinct clustering of the duct and lobule samples.The significant enrichment analysis of GO terms for the differentially expressed genes using the R language package software demonstrated that these 426 differentially expressed genes were involved in many important biological processes, including negative regulation of low-density lipoprotein receptor biosynthetic process, response to steroid hormone stimulus and oxidation reduction. 17 differential expressed genes identified by microarray were randomly chosen for further validation using quantitative RT-PCR. As results, fold changes measured by quantitative RT-PCR were closely correlated with those measured by microarray. 8 normal breast duct samples vs 8 normal breast lobule samples from premenopausal patients, unpaired

Project description:Bioprinting is an emerging additive manufacturing approach to the fabrication of patient-specific, implantable three-dimensional (3D) constructs for regenerative medicine. However, developing cell-compatible bioinks with high printability, structural stability, biodegradability, and bioactive characteristics is still a primary challenge for translating 3D bioprinting technology to preclinical and clinal models. To overcome this challenge, we develop a nanoengineered ionic covalent entanglement (NICE) bioink formulation for 3D bone bioprinting. The NICE bioinks allow precise control over printability, mechanical properties, and degradation characteristics, enabling custom 3D fabrication of mechanically resilient, cellularized structures. We demonstrate cell- induced remodeling of 3D bioprinted scaffolds over 60 days, demonstrating deposition of nascent extracellular matrix proteins. Interestingly, the bioprinted constructs induce endochondral differentiation of encapsulated human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) in absence of osteoinducing agents such as dexamethasone or bone morphogenic protein-2 (BMP-2). Using next-generation transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) technology, we establish the role of nanosilicates, a bioactive component of NICE bioink, to stimulate endochondral differentiation at the transcriptome level. Overall, the osteoinductive bioink has the ability to induce formation of osteo-related mineralized extracellular matrix by encapsulatedhMSCsingrowthfactor-freeconditions.Furthermore,wedemonstratedtheabilityofNICEbioinktofabricatepatient-specific, implantable 3D scaffolds for repair of craniomaxillofacial bone defects. We envision transformation of this NICE bioink technology toward a realistic clinical process for 3D bioprinting patient-specific bone tissue for regenerative medicine.

Project description:Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma has a very poor prognosis, and new therapies and preclinical models are urgently needed. We developed patient-derived xenografts (PDXs), established PDX-derived cell lines (PDCLs), and generated cell line-derived xenografts (CDXs), and integrated these to create 13 matched trios, as systematic models for this cancer. Orthotopic implantation (OI) of PDCLs showed tumorigenesis and metastases to the liver and peritoneum. Morphological comparisons of OI-CDX and OI-PDX with passaged tumors showed that histopathological features of the original tumor were maintained in both models. Molecular alterations in PDX tumors (including those to KRAS, TP53, SMAD4, and CDKN2A) were similar to those in the respective PDCLs and CDX tumors. Comparing gene expression in PDCLs, ectopic tumors, and OI tumors, CXCR4 and CXCL12 genes were specifically upregulated in OI tumors, whose immunohistochemical profiles suggested epithelial-mesenchymal transition and adeno-squamous trans-differentiation. These patient-derived tumor models provide useful tools for preclinical research into pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. We performed comprehensive gene expression profiling of 13 pancreatic cancer cell lines, 14 CDX and 14 PDX tumors by Affymetrix Gene Chip HG-U133Plus2.0.

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:Vascularization and efficient perfusion are long-standing challenges in cardiac tissue engineering. Here, we engineer perfusable microvascular constructs, wherein human embryonic stem cell-derived endothelial cells (hESC-ECs) are seeded both into patterned microchannels and the surrounding collagen matrix. In vitro, the hESC-ECs lining the luminal walls readily sprout and anastomose with de novo-formed endothelial tubes in the matrix under flow. When implanted on infarcted rat hearts, the perfusable microvessel grafts integrate with coronary vasculature to a greater degree than non-perfusable self-assembled constructs at 5 days post-implantation. Optical microangiography imaging reveal that perfusable grafts have 6-fold greater vascular density, 2.5-fold higher vascular velocities and >20-fold higher volumetric perfusion rates. Implantation of perfusable grafts containing additional hESC-derived cardiomyocytes show higher cardiomyocyte and vascular density. Thus, pre-patterned vascular networks enhance vascular remodeling and accelerate coronary perfusion, potentially supporting cardiac tissues after implantation. These findings should facilitate the next generation of cardiac tissue engineering design.
