Project description:Extracellular matrix remodeling of cardiac tissue is a key contributor to age-related cardiovascular disease and dysfunction. Such remodeling is multifaceted including changes to biochemical composition, architecture, and mechanics, clouding our understanding of how and which extracellular matrix properties contribute to a dysfunctional state. Here we describe a decellularized extracellular matrix-synthetic hydrogel hybrid that independently presents two distinct matrix properties, ligand presentation and stiffness, to cultured cells in vitro, allowing for the identification of their specific roles in cardiac aging. The hybrid scaffold maintains native matrix composition and organization of young or aged murine cardiac tissue, while its mechanical properties can be independently tuned to mimic young or aged tissue stiffness. Seeding these scaffolds with murine primary cardiac fibroblasts, we identify distinct age- and matrix-dependent mechanisms of cardiac fibroblast activation, matrix remodeling, and senescence. Importantly, we show that ligand presentation of young extracellular matrix can outweigh profibrotic stiffness cues typically present in aged extracellular matrix in maintaining or driving cardiac fibroblast quiescence. Ultimately, these tunable scaffolds can enable the discovery of specific extracellular targets to prevent aging dysfunction and promote rejuvenation.

Project description:Cell viability and global gene expression was anayzed from collagen 1 hydrogel scaffolds following 3 hours of cyclic mechanical loading and compared with non-loaded scaffolds. Experiment Overall Design: 6 samples are analyzed (2 sets in triplicate). The first set is the Loaded condition in which Collagen 1 hydrogels seeded with Human dermal fibroblasts underwent cyclic loading of 0.1Hz for 180 minutes at 37 degrees Celsius. The second set is the control Unloaded condition in which the Collagen 1 hydrogels seeded with Human dermal fibroblasts are incubated at 37 degrees Celsius with no loading.

Project description:Biomaterial scaffolds have the potential to enhance neuronal development and regeneration. Understanding the genetic responses of astrocytes and neurons to biomaterials could facilitate the development of synthetic environments that enable the specification of neural tissue organization with engineered scaffolds. In this study, we used high throughput transcriptomic and imaging methods to determine the impact of a hydrogel with no known bioactive epitopes, Puramatrix™, on human glial cells in vitro. Parallel studies were undertaken with cells grown in a monolayer environment on tissue culture polystyrene. When the Normal Human Astrocyte (NHA) cell line is grown in a hydrogel matrix environment, the glial cells adopt a structural organization that resembles that of neuronal-glial cocultures, where neurons form clusters that are distinct from the surrounding glia. Statistical analysis of next generation RNA sequencing data uncovered a set of genes that are differentially expressed in the monolayer and matrix hydrogel environments. Functional analysis demonstrated that hydrogel-upregulated genes can be grouped into three broad categories: neuronal differentiation and/or neural plasticity, response to neural insult, and sensory perception. Our results demonstrate that hydrogel biomaterials have the potential to transform human glial cell identity, and may have applications in the repair of damaged brain tissue

Project description:In vitro models of human liver functions are used across a diverse range of applications in preclinical drug development and disease modeling, with particular increasing interest in models that capture facets of liver inflammatory status. This study investigates how the interplay between biophysical and biochemical microenvironment cues influence phenotypic responses, including inflammation signatures, of primary human hepatocytes (PHH) cultured in a commercially available perfused bioreactor. A 3D printing-based alginate microwell system was designed to form thousands of hepatic spheroids in a scalable manner as a comparator 3D culture modality to the bioreactor. Soft, synthetic extracellular matrix (ECM) hydrogel scaffolds with biophysical properties mimicking features of liver were engineered to replace polystyrene scaffolds, and the biochemical microenvironment was modulated with a defined set of growth factors and signaling modulators. The supplemented media significantly increased tissue density, albumin secretion, and CYP3A4 activity but also upregulated inflammatory markers. Basal inflammatory markers were lower for cells maintained in ECM hydrogel scaffolds or spheroid formats than polystyrene scaffolds, while hydrogel scaffolds exhibited the most sensitive response to inflammation as assessed by multiplexed cytokine and RNA-seq analyses. Together, these engineered 3D liver microenvironments provide insights for probing human liver functions and inflammatory response in vitro.

Project description:Adverse mechanical cues promote pathological remodeling of ischemic left ventricle, which leads to heart failure and mortality in ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) patients. Intramyocardial injection of hydrogels reduces the mechanical stress in left ventricular (LV) wall, thus preserves cardiac function and geometry. The therapeutic concept has been tested in clinical trials and presented exciting potential. However, the theory of intramyocardial hydrogel injection still needs to be improved as the molecular biological connection between the mechanical effect and therapeutic outcomes is weak, and it is difficult to clearly separate the contribution of hydrogel mechanical support from physiological reaction to hydrogel chemistry and combinational surgical procedures in previous clinical translation studies. In this study, we transendocardially injected alginate hydrogel via a percutaneous coronary intervention in 10 ICM patients with end-stage heart failure. Thirty days after injection, cardiac function was improved, and LV size was reduced. Stress in the myocardium decreased as evaluated by finite element analysis. Similar mechanical and functional effects by hydrogel injections were observed in rat myocardial infarction (MI) model. Bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing revealed restoration in transcription levels of mechanosensing, cardiac contraction genes and other important pathways, which was mainly attributed to changes in cardiomyocytes. Such effects were not observed in rats receiving diluted hydrogel, confirming that mechanical effect instead of material chemistry is the main contributor. The resemblance in transcriptomic profile and the effect of hydrogel injection on mechanical stress and remodeling of LV wall between ICM patients and diseased rats indicated the applicability of the major mechanistic conclusions in rat model to human.

Project description:Porcine mammary fatty tissues represent an abundant source of biomaterial for generation of breast-specific extracellular matrix (ECM). Here we report the extraction of total ECM proteins from pig breast fatty tissues, the fabrication of hydrogel scaffolds from the extracted ECM proteins, the structural properties of the scaffolds, and the applications of the hydrogel in human mammary epithelial cell spatial cultures for cell surface receptor expression, metabolomics characterization, acini formation, proliferation, migration between different scaffolding compartments, and in vivo tumor formation. This model system provides an additional option for studying human breast diseases such as breast cancer.
