The strategy of heart tissue engineering is simple enough: first remove all the cells from a organ then take the protein scaffold left behind and repopulate it with stem cells immunologically matched to the patient in need. While various suc- cessful methods for decellularization have been developed, and the feasibility of using decellularized whole hearts and extracellular matrix to support cells has been demonstrated, the reality of creating whole hearts for transplantation and of clinical application of decellularized extracellular matrix-based scaffolds will require much more research. For example, further investigations into how lineage-restricted progenitors repopulate the decellularized heart and differentiate in a site-specific manner into different populations of the native heart would be essential. The scaffold heart does not have to be human. Pig hearts carries all the essential components of the extracellular matrix. Through trial and error, scaling up the concentration, timing and pressure of the detergents, researchers have refined the decellularization process on hundreds of hearts and other organs, but this is only the first step. Further, the framework must be populated with human cells. Most researchers in the field use a mixture of two or more cell types, such as endothelial precursor cells to line blood vessels and muscle progenitors to seed the walls of the chambers. The final challenge is one of the hardest: vasculariza- tion, placing a engineered heart into a living animal, integration with the recipient tissue, and keeping it beating for a long time. Much remains to be done before a bioartificial heart is available for transplantation in humans.

Hypothesis and objective: We hypothesize that transplantation of decellularized cardiac extracellular matrix (dECM) lowers fibrosis and fibroblast differentiation. In this study we investigated collagen deposition and fibroblast differentiation in post-MI hearts and heart explants of various stiffness after dECM hydrogel treatments. The objectives are 1) determining if dECM derived from fetal and adult porcine hearts reduces fibrosis in injured hearts; and 2) identifying specific signaling pathways that regulate fibroblasts differentiation induced by extracellular proteins. Methods: Porcine dECM was injected immediately after ligating coronary artery in P1 mice. Histology was conducted on day 7 post-myocardial infarction (MI). A mice ventricle explant model was used to investigate the molecular mechanisms. Results: We observed that fetal dECM treatment lowered fibrosis and fibroblast differentiation in post-MI hearts (Fig.1). Fibroblast differentiation as indicated by α-smooth muscle actin expression in vimentin or platelet derived growth factor receptor α positive cells showed an inhibitory effect of fetal dECM on fibroblast differentiation. Using a heart explant model of modulated microenvironment stiffness, we demonstrated that increasing tissue stiffness stimulates fibroblast differentiation and collagen deposition. Fetal dECM treatment, however, inhibited fibroblast differentiation induced by increasing microenvironment stiffness. Transcriptome analysis revealed that two cytoskeleton-related genes, macrophage capping protein (CAPG) and leupaxin (LPXN), are modulated by dECM treatments. Using cytoskeleton polymerization modulators and siRNA, we demonstrated that fetal dECM lowers fibroblast differentiation through CAPG.

Although autologous nerve grafting remains the gold standard treatment for peripheral nerve injuries, alternative methods such as development of nerve guidance conduits have since emerged and evolved to counter the many disadvantages of nerve grafting. However, the efficacy and viability of current nerve conduits remain unclear in clinical trials. Here, we focused on a novel decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) and polydopamine (PDA)-coated 3D-printed poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL)-based conduits, whereby the PDA surface modification acts as an attachment platform for further dECM attachment. We demonstrated that dECM/PDA-coated PCL conduits possessed higher mechanical properties when compared to human or animal nerves. Such modifications were proved to affect cell behaviors. Cellular behaviors and neuronal differentiation of Schwann cells were assessed to determine for the efficacies of the conduits. There were some cell-specific neuronal markers, such as Nestin, neuron-specific class III beta-tubulin (TUJ-1), and microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2) analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and Nestin expressions were found to be 0.65-fold up-regulated, while TUJ1 expressions were 2.3-fold up-regulated and MAP2 expressions were 2.5-fold up-regulated when compared to Ctl. The methodology of PDA coating employed in this study can be used as a simple model to immobilize dECM onto PCL conduits, and the results showed that dECM/PDA-coated PCL conduits can as a practical and clinically viable tool for promoting regenerative outcomes in larger peripheral nerve defects.
