A series of novel polysaccharide-based biocomposites was obtained by impregnation of bacterial cellulose produced by Komagataeibacter rhaeticus (BC) with the solutions of negatively charged polysaccharides—hyaluronan (HA), sodium alginate (ALG), or κ-carrageenan (CAR)—and subsequently with positively charged chitosan (CS). The penetration of the polysaccharide solutions into the BC network and their interaction to form a polyelectrolyte complex changed the architecture of the BC network. The structure, morphology, and properties of the biocomposites depended on the type of impregnated anionic polysaccharides, and those polysaccharides in turn determined the nature of the interaction with CS. The porosity and swelling of the composites increased in the order: BC–ALG–CS > BC–HA–CS > BC–CAR–CS. The composites show higher biocompatibility with mesenchymal stem cells than the original BC sample, with the BC–ALG–CS composite showing the best characteristics.

Abstract Background. In type I diabetes mellitus (T1DM) pancreatic β cells are destroyed. Treatment entails exogenous insulin administration and strict diet control, yet optimal glycemic control is hardly attainable. Islet transplant could be an alternative in patients with poor glycemic control, but inefficient islet purification and autoimmune response of patients still a challenge. Methods Human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hASC) obtained from lipoaspirated fat tissue from human donors were differentiated in vitro to insulin (Ins) and glucagon (Gcg) producing cells (IPC and GPC respectively). Then, we cocultured IPC and GPC cells in low adhesion conditions to form cellular aggregates, which were encapsulated in a sodium alginate polymer. Expression of pancreatic lineage markers and secretion of insulin or glucagon in vitro were analyzed. Results We demonstrated that multipotent hASC efficiently differentiate to IPC and GPC, which also express pancreatic markers, including insulin or glucagon hormones. In turn, we calculated the Feret diameter of cellular aggregates, finding mean diameters ~80 µm at 72h of incubation. IPC/GPC aggregates were then microencapsulated in sodium-alginate polymer microgels, which were found to be more stable in Ba 2+ stabilized microgels, with average diameters ~300 µm. Interestingly, Ba 2+ -microencapsulated aggregates respond to high external glucose with insulin secretion. Conclusions The IPC/GPC differentiation process from hASC followed by generate cellular aggregates in vitro, that once microencapsulated could represent a possible treatment to T1DM.

ABSTRACTAdvanced biomaterials that mimic the structure and function of native tissues and permit stem cells to adhere and differentiate is of paramount importance in the development of stem cell therapies for bone defects. Successful bone repair approaches may include an osteoconductive scaffold that permits excellent cell adhesion and proliferation, and cells with an osteogenic potential. The objective of this study was to evaluate the cell proliferation, viability and osteocyte differentiation of equine-derived bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (EqMSCs) when seeded onto biocompatible and biodegradable calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite (CdHA) tubular-shaped bacterial cellulose scaffolds (BC-TS) of various sizes. The biocompatible gel-like BC-TS was synthesized using the bacterium Gluconacetobacter sucrofermentans under static culture in oxygen-permeable silicone tubes. The BC-TS scaffolds were modified using a periodate oxidation to yield biodegradable scaffolds. Additionally, CdHA was deposited in the scaffolds to mimic native bone tissues. The morphological properties of the resulting BC-TS and its composites were characterized using scanning electron microscopy. The ability of the BC-TS and its composites to support and maintain EqMSCs growth, proliferation and osteogenic differentiation in vitro was also assessed. BC-TS and its composites exhibited aligned nanofibril structures. MTS assay demonstrated increasing proliferation and viability with time (days 1, 2 and 3). Cell-scaffold constructs were cultured for 8 days under osteogenic conditions and the resulting osteocytes were positive for alizarin red. In summary, biocompatible and biodegradable CdHA BC-TS composites support the proliferation, viability and osteogenic differentiation of EqMSCs cultured onto its surface in vitro, allowing for future potential use for tissue engineering therapies.
