Introduction: Use of cardiac mesenchymal cells (CMCs) has been shown to improve cardiac function following myocardial infarction. Main drawback in cardiac cell therapy is the major loss of injected cells within few hours. Increase the retention of these injected cells could increase their efficacy, where cardiac patches with various cell types showed better outcome. Among, collagen patch plays lead role as a cell-laden matrix in cardiac tissue engineering. Creating a detailed understanding of how collagen matrix changes the cellular phenotype could provide seminal insights to regeneration therapy. Hypothesis: Growing CMCs in three dimensional (3D) collagen matrix could alter the expression of extracellular matrix (ECM) and adhesion molecules, which may enhance their efficacy. Methods: The bovine type I collagen was chemically modified and solubilized in culture medium with photo-initiator. The mouse CMCs were isolated and resuspended in collagen solution, printed using 3D bioprinter and UV-crosslinked to form 3D-CMC construct. The 3D-CMC construct was submerged in growth medium and cultured for 48h and analyzed for the expression of ECM and adhesion molecules (n=5/group). CMCs cultured in regular plastic tissue culture dish was used as control. Results: RT profiler array showed changes in the ECM and adhesion molecules expression, specifically certain integrins and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in CMCs cultured 3D collagen construct compared to 2D monolayer. Subsequent qRT-PCR analysis revealed significant (p<0.01) upregulation of integrins such as Itga2 (2.96±0.13), Itgb1 (3.18±0.2) and Itgb3 (2.4±0.27) and MMPs such as MMP13 (37.2±3.36), MMP9 (5.23±1.06) and MMP3 (7.14±2.07). Western blot analysis further confirmed significant elevation of these integrins and matrix metalloproteinases at protein level. Collagen encapsulation did not alter the expression of N-cadherin in CMCs, which is a potential mesenchymal cadherin adhesion molecule. Conclusion: Integrin αβ heterodimers transduce signals that facilitate cell homing, migration, survival and differentiation. Similarly, MMPs plays vital role in cell migration and proliferation. Our results demonstrate that the 3D-collagen Niche enhances the expression of certain integrins and MMPs in CMCs. This suggest that the efficacy of CMCs could be magnified by providing 3D architecture with collagen matrix and further in vivo experiments would reveal functional benefits from CMCs for clinical use.

Chondrocytes produce large pericellular coats in vitro that can be visualized by the exclusion of particles, e.g., fixed erythrocytes, and that are removed by treatment with Streptomyces hyaluronidase, which is specific for hyaluronate. In this study, we examined the kinetics of formation of these coats and the relationship of hyaluronate and proteoglycan to coat structure. Chondrocytes were isolated from chick tibia cartilage by collagenase-trypsin digestion and were characterized by their morphology and by their synthesis of both type II collagen and high molecular weight proteoglycans. The degree of spreading of the chondrocytes and the size of the coats were quantitated at various times subsequent to seeding by tracing phase-contrast photomicrographs of the cultures. After seeding, the chondrocytes attached themselves to the tissue culture dish and exhibited coats within 4 h. The coats reached a maximum size after 3-4 d and subsequently decreased over the next 2-3 d. Subcultured chondrocytes produced a large coat only if passaged before 4 d. Both primary and first passage cells, with or without coats, produced type II collagen but not type I collagen as determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Treatment with Streptomyces hyaluronidase (1.0 mU/ml, 15 min), which completely removed the coat, released 58% of the chondroitin sulfate but only 9% of the proteins associated with the cell surface. The proteins released by hyaluronidase were not digestible by bacterial collagenase. Monensin and cycloheximide (0.01-10 microM, 48 h) caused a dose-dependent decrease in coat size that was linearly correlated to synthesis of cell surface hyaluronate (r = 0.98) but not chondroitin sulfate (r = 0.2). We conclude that the coat surrounding chondrocytes is dependent on hyaluronate for its structure and that hyaluronate retains a large proportion of the proteoglycan in the coat.

AbstractCartilage regeneration with cell-free matrices has developed from matrix-associated autologous cartilage cell transplantation (MACT) over ten years ago. Adjustments to the legal framework and higher hurdles for cell therapy have led to the procedures being established as an independent alternative to MACT. These procedures, which can be classified as matrix-induced autologous cartilage regeneration (MACR), all rely on the chemotactic stimulus of a cross-linked matrix, which mostly consists of collagens. Given the example of a commercially available type I collagen hydrogel, the state of clinical experience with MACR shall be summarized and an outlook on the development of the method shall be provided. It has been demonstrated in the clinical case series summarized here over the past few years that the use of the matrix is not only safe but also yields good clinical-functional and MR-tomographic results for both small (~ 10 mm) and large (> 10 mm) focal cartilage lesions. Depending on the size of the defect, MACR with a collagen type I matrix plays an important role as an alternative treatment method, in direct competition with both: microfracture and MACT.

Demineralized Bone

Recent advances in materials science and biotechnology have given birth to the new and exciting field of tissue engineering, in which the two normally disparate fields are merging into a profitable matrimony. In particular the use of biomaterials capable of initiating new bone formation via a process called osteoinduction is leading to quantum leaps for the tissue engineering of bone.The classic work of Marshall R. Urist and A. Hari Reddi opened the field of osteoinductive biomaterials. Urist discovered that, upon implantation of devitalized, demineralized bone matrix in the muscle of experimental animals, new bone formation occurs within two weeks, a phenomenon he described as bone formation by induction. The tissue response elicited by implantation of demineralized bone matrix in muscle or under the skin includes activation and migration of undifferentiated mesenchymal cells by chemotaxis, anchoragedependent cell attachment to the matrix, mitosis and proliferation of mesenchymal cells, differentiation of cartilage, mineralization of the cartilage, vascular invasion of the cartilage, differentiation of osteoblasts and deposition of bone matrix, and finally mineralization of bone and differentiation of marrow in the newly developed ossicle.The osteoinductive ability of the extracellular matrix of bone is abolished by the dissociative extraction of the demineralized matrix, but is recovered when the extracted component, itself inactive, is reconstituted with the inactive residue—mainly insoluble collagenous bone matrix. This important experiment showed that the osteoinductive signal resides in the solubilized component but needs to be reconstituted with an appropriate carrier to restore the osteoinductive activity. In this case, the carrier is the insoluble collagenous bone matrix—mainly crosslinked type I collagen.

Deer Antler

Deer antlers are a rare example of mammalian epimorphic regeneration. Each year, the antlers re-grow by a modified endochondral ossification process that involves extensive remodelling of cartilage by osteoclasts. This study identified regenerating antler cartilage as a site of osteoclastogenesis in vivo. An in vitro model was then developed to study antler osteoclast differentiation. Cultured as a high-density micromass, cells from non-mineralised cartilage supported the differentiation of large numbers of osteoclast-like multinucleated cells (MNCs) in the absence of factors normally required for osteoclastogenesis. After 48 h of culture, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive mononuclear cells (osteoclast precursors) were visible, and by day 14 a large number of TRAP-positive MNCs had formed (783+/−200 per well, mean +/− s.e.m., N=4). Reverse transcriptase/polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) showed that receptor activator of NF κ B ligand (RANKL) and macrophage colony stimulating factor (M-CSF) mRNAs were expressed in micromass cultures. Antler MNCs have the phenotype of osteoclasts from mammalian bone; they expressed TRAP, vitronectin and calcitonin receptors and, when cultured on dentine, formed F-actin rings and large resorption pits. When cultured on glass, antler MNCs appeared to digest the matrix of the micromass and endocytose type I collagen. Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) may play a role in the resorption of this non-mineralised matrix since it is highly expressed in 100 % of MNCs. In contrast, cathepsin K, another enzyme expressed in osteoclasts from bone, is only highly expressed in resorbing MNCs cultured on dentine. This study identifies the deer antler as a valuable model that can be used to study the differentiation and function of osteoclasts in adult regenerating mineralised tissues.

AbstractIntrafibrillar mineralization of type-I collagen with hydroxyapatite (HA) is the basis of the complex biological composite known as bone, which from a material science perspective is a fascinating example of an interpenetrating bioceramic composite. Using a polymer-induced liquid-precursor (PILP) process, collagen substrates were highly infiltrated with a liquid-phase mineral precursor to calcium carbonate (CaCO3). At sections of partially mineralized collagen, banded mineral patterns were observed perpendicular to the collagen fibrils, while other fibrils were completely mineralized. An acid etch, used to preferentially remove superficial mineral, further revealed such banded patterns in fully mineralized samples. Removal of the collagen matrix with a dilute hypochlorite solution showed an interpenetrating mineral phase, with mineral disks that spanned the diameter of the pre-existing collagen fibrils, supporting our hypothesis that intrafibrillar mineralization can be achieved via capillary action applied to a liquid-phase mineral precursor.
