Urinary Bladder Matrix

Introduction and hypothesis: Pelvic support structure injury is the major cause of pelvic organ prolapse. At present, polypropylene-based filler material has been suggested as a common method to treat pelvic organ prolapse. However, it cannot functionally rehabilitate the pelvic support structure. In addition to its poor long-term efficiency, the urinary bladder matrix was the most suitable biological scaffold material for pelvic floor repair. Here, we hypothesize that anti-sca-1 monoclonal antibody and basic fibroblast growth factor were cross-linked to urinary bladder matrix to construct a two-factor bioscaffold for pelvic reconstruction. Methods Through a bispecific cross-linking reagent, sulfosuccinimidyl 4-[N-maleimidomethyl] cyclohexane-1-carboxylate (sulfo-smcc) immobilized anti-sca-1 and basic fibroblast growth factor to urinary bladder matrix. Then scanning electron microscope and plate reader were used to detect whether the anti-sca-1/basic fibroblast growth factor-urinary bladder matrix scaffold was built successfully. After that, the capacity of enriching sca-1 positive cells was measured both in vitro and in vivo. In addition, we evaluated the differentiation capacity and biocompatibility of the scaffold. Finally, western blotting was used to detect the level of fibulin-5 protein. Results The scanning electron microscope and plate reader revealed that the double-factor biological scaffold was built successfully. The scaffold could significantly enrich a large number of sca-1 positive cells both in vitro and in vivo, and obviously accelerate cells and differentiate functional tissue with good biocompatibility. Moreover, the western blotting showed that the scaffold could improve the expression of fibulin-5 protein. Conclusion The anti-sca-1/basic fibroblast growth factor-urinary bladder matrix scaffold revealed good biological properties and might serve as an ideal scaffold for pelvic reconstruction.

Abstract Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) modulate vascular wall cell function in vitro and angiogenesis in vivo. The aim of the current study was to determine how bovine aorta endothelial cells (BAECs) respond to the simultaneous exposure to PDGF-BB and bFGF. It was found that bFGF-dependent BAEC migration, proliferation, and differentiation into tubelike structures on reconstituted extracellular matrix (Matrigel) were inhibited by PDGF-BB. The role played by PDGF receptor α (PDGF-Rα) was investigated by selective stimulation with PDGF-AA, by blocking PDGF-BB-binding to PDGF-Rα with neomycin, or by transfecting cells with dominant-negative forms of the receptors to selectively impair either PDGF-Rα or PDGF-Rβ function. In all cases, PDGF-Rα impairment abolished the inhibitory effect of PDGF-BB on bFGF-directed BAEC migration. In addition, PDGF-Rα phosphorylation was increased in the presence of bFGF and PDGF, as compared to PDGF alone, whereas mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphorylation was decreased in the presence of PDGF-BB and bFGF compared with bFGF alone. In vivo experiments showed that PDGF-BB and PDGF-AA inhibited bFGF-induced angiogenesis in vivo in the chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane assay and that PDGF-BB inhibited bFGF-induced angiogenesis in Matrigel plugs injected subcutaneously in CD1 mice. Taken together these results show that PDGF inhibits the angiogenic properties of bFGF in vitro and in vivo, likely through PDGF-Rα stimulation.

Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) is a potent angiogenic polypeptide. It promotes angiogenesis in vivo and in vitro by stimulating migration, proliferation and proteolytic activity of endothelial cells. Whereas several effects of exogenous bFGF on endothelial cells have been described, it has remained unclear how endogenous bFGF produced by vascular endothelial cells regulate angiogenesis.To further investigate functional implications of the distribution of bFGF, we undertook the present study. Our aims were (i) to identify the specific location of bFGF in endothelial cells using electron microscopy immunogold labeling technique (ii) to determine the distribution of bFGF in capillaries of different types of tissues.Tissue samples from sciatic nerve, hippocampus, adrenal gland and kidney of normal adult rats were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde/1 to 5% glutaraldehyde and embedded in Spurr's resin. Ultrathin sections were labeled with either polyclonal (F3393-Sigma) or monoclonal antibodies (F6162-Sigma, C3316-ZymoGenetics) specific for bFGF using a two-step immunogold labeling method.

Background: PEGylation of stealth liposomes elevates their stability and prolongs plasma half-life. Stealth liposomes modified with targeting ligands are expected to be ideal drug delivery carriers. Objective: To encapsulate docetaxel in tbFGF (truncated basic fibroblast growth factor)-functionalized liposomes with mPEG2000-VE (d-α-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol succinate, TPGS2K) and measure their antitumor effects in vitro and in vivo. Methods: TPGS2K and COOH-PEG2000-VE were synthesized, and tbFGF was conjugated to COOH-PEG2000-VE to prepare tbFGF-PEG2000-VE. Then, tbFGF-functionalized liposomes (DTX-tbFGF-LPs) were prepared by inserting tbFGF-PEG2000-VE into docetaxel liposomes comprising TPGS2K (DTX-PEG-LPs). The stabilities and drug release profiles of the formulation were evaluated. P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibition was measured by ATPase assay. MTT and cell uptake were measured with B16 cells. A B16 C57BL/6 mouse model was used to evaluate in vivo antitumor efficacy. Results: Both DTX-PEG-LPs and DTX-tbFGF-LPs exhibited good stability and sustained drug release. MTT, flow cytometry, and fluorescence microscopy of B16 cells revealed higher antitumor activity and more efficient cell uptake for DTX-tbFGF-LPs compared with DTX-PEG-LPs and DTX-LPs. The P-gp ATPase assay showed that both PEG-LP and tbFGF-PEG-LP formulations inhibited P-gp pump activity in vitro. DTX-tbFGF-LPs had the highest antitumor efficacy and lowest toxicity in vivo. Conclusion: Truncated basic fibroblast growth factor-functionalized liposomes with TPGS2K as drug delivery nanocarriers were effective chemotherapy agents targeting FGFR-overexpressing tumors.
