3D bioprinting of cartilage-mimetic implants for biological joint resurfacing
(2020)
SCHIPANI, ROSSANA
Abstract:
A major challenge in the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine is the development of effective therapies for treating large cartilage or osteochondral defects and ultimately regenerating whole osteoarthritic joints. The objective of this thesis was to 3D bioprint cell-laden biomaterials with biomimetic mechanical properties as implants for regenerating large osteochondral defects. To this end, a finite element modelling (FEM) strategy was first developed to design the 3D printed polycaprolactone (PCL) networks with user-defined mechanical properties. These PCL networks were then combined with an alginate-gelatin methacryloyl (gelMA) interpenetrating network (IPN) hydrogel to develop 3D bioprinted constructs that were both mechanically functional and supportive of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) chondrogenesis. When the IPN hydrogels were reinforced with a PCL network characterized by relatively high tension-compression nonlinearity, the resulting composites possesse...

Abstract:
<p>This article is also available at <a href="http://www.mdpi.com/1996-1944/6/2/637">http://www.mdpi.com/1996-1944/6/2/637</a></p>
<p>Articular cartilage is a unique tissue owing to its ability to withstand repetitive compressive stress throughout an individual’s lifetime. However, its major limitation is the inability to heal even the most minor injuries. There still remains an inherent lack of strategies that stimulate hyaline-like articular cartilage growth with appropriate functional properties. Recent scientific advances in tissue engineering have made significant steps towards development of constructs for articular cartilage repair. In particular, research has shown the potential of biomaterial physico-chemical properties significantly influencing the proliferation, differentiation and matrix deposition by progenitor cells. Accordingly, this highlights the potential of using such properties to direct the lineage towards which s...

Abstract:
Abstract: The objective of this study was to develop a scaffold derived from cartilaginous extracellular matrix (ECM) that could be used as a growth factor delivery system to promote chondrogenesis of stem cells. Dehyd rothermal crosslinked scaffolds were fabricated using a slurry of homogenized porcine articular cartilage, which were then seeded with human infrapatellar fat pad derived stem cells (FPSCs). It was found that these ECM derived scaffolds promoted superior c hondrogenesis of FPSCs when the constructs were additionally stimulated with transforming growth factor (TGF) - ?3. Cell mediated contraction of the scaffold was observed, which could be limited by the additional use of 1 - Ethyl - 3 - 3dimethyl aminopropyl carbod iimide (EDAC) crosslinking without suppressing cartilage specific matrix accumulation within the construct. To further validate the utility of the ECM derived scaffold, we next compared its chondro - permissive properties to a biomimetic collagen - hyaluro...

<p>An alternative strategy to the use of in vitro expanded cells in regenerative medicine is the use of freshly isolated stromal cells, where a bioactive scaffold is used to provide an environment conducive to proliferation and tissue-specific differentiation in vivo. The objective of this study is to develop a cartilage extracellular matrix (ECM)-derived scaffold that could facilitate the rapid proliferation and chondrogenic differentiation of freshly isolated stromal cells. By freeze-drying cryomilled cartilage ECM of differing concentrations, it is possible to produce scaffolds with a range of pore sizes. The migration, proliferation, and chondrogenic differentiation of infrapatellar fat pad-derived stem cells (FPSCs) depend on the concentrati...

Abstract:
The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-seeded polyethylene-oxide-terephthalate/polybutylene-terephthalate (PEOT/PBT) scaffold for cartilage tissue repair in an osteochondral defect using a rabbit model. Material characterisation using scanning electron microscopy indicated that the scaffold had a 3D architecture characteristic of the additive manufacturing fabrication method, with a strut diameter of 296 +/- A 52 mu m and a pore size of 512 +/- A 22 mu m x 476 +/- A 25 mu m x 180 +/- A 30 mu m. In vitro optimisation revealed that the scaffold did not generate an adverse cell response, optimal cell loading conditions were achieved using 50 mu g/ml fibronectin and a cell seeding density of 25 x 10(6) cells/ml and glycosaminoglycan (GAG) accumulation after 28 days culture in the presence of TGF beta 3 indicated positive chondrogenesis. Cell-seeded scaffolds were implanted in osteochondral defects for 12 weeks, with cell-free ...

Abstract:
Cartilage tissue engineering is a multifactorial problem requiring a wide range of material property requirements from provision of biological cues to facilitation of mechanical support in load-bearing diarthrodial joints. The study aim was to design, fabricate and characterize a template to promote endogenous cell recruitment for enhanced cartilage repair. A polylactic acid poly-epsilon-caprolactone (PLCL) support structure was fabricated using laser micromachining technology and thermal crimping to create a functionally-graded open pore network scaffold with a compressive modulus of 9.98 +/- A 1.41 MPa and a compressive stress at 50% strain of 8.59 +/- A 1.35 MPa. In parallel, rabbit mesenchymal stem cells were isolated and their growth characteristics, morphology and multipotency confirmed. Sterilization had no effect on construct chemical structure and cellular compatibility was confirmed. After four weeks implantation in an osteochondral defect in a rabbit model to assess bioco...

Abstract:
<p>The original article is available at onlinelibrary.wiley.com</p>
<p>Incorporation of therapeutics in the form of growth factors within biomaterials can enhance their biofunctionality. Two methods of incorporating transforming growth factor-beta 3 within collagen-hyaluronic acid scaffolds are described, markedly improving mesenchymal stem cell-mediated chondrogenic differentiation and matrix production. Such scaffolds offer control over the release of therapeutics, demonstrating their potential for repair of complex chondral defects requiring additional stimuli.</p>

Mechanical Regulation of Skeletal Development
(2013)
MURPHY, PAULA; ROLFE, REBECCA; Roddy, Karen
Abstract:
Development of the various components of a normal skeleton requires highly regulated signalling systems that co-ordinate spatial and temporal patterns of cell division, cell differentiation and morphogenesis. Much work in recent decades has revealed cascades of molecular signalling, acting through key transcription factors to regulate, for example, organised chondrogenic and osteogenic differentiation. It is now clear that mechanical stimuli are also required for aspects of skeletogenesis but very little is known about how the mechanical signals are integrated with classic biochemical signalling. Spatially organised differentiation is vital to the production of functionally appropriate tissues contributing to precise, region specific morphologies, for example transient chondrogenesis of long bone skeletal rudiments, which prefigures osteogenic replacement of the cartilage template, compared to the production of permanent cartilage at the sites of articulation. Currently a lack of un...

Abstract:
Scaffolds laden with stem cells are a promising approach for articular cartilage repair. Investigations have shown that implantation of artificial matrices, growth factors or chondrocytes can stimulate cartilage formation, but no existing strategies apply mechanical stimulation on stratified scaffolds to mimic the cartilage environment. The purpose of this study was to adapt a spraying method for stratified cartilage engineering and to stimulate the biosubstitute. Human mesenchymal stem cells from bone marrow were seeded in an alginate (Alg)/hyaluronic acid (HA) or Alg/hydroxyapatite (Hap) gel to direct cartilage and hypertrophic cartilage/subchondral bone differentiation, respectively, in different layers within a single scaffold. Homogeneous or composite stratified scaffolds were cultured for 28 days and cell viability and differentiation were assessed. The heterogeneous scaffold was stimulated daily. The mechanical behaviour of the stratified scaffolds were investigated by plane-...

Mechanisms of osteocyte stimulation in osteoporosis
(2016)
Verbruggen, Stefaan W.; Vaughan, Ted J.; McNamara, Laoise M.
Abstract:
Experimental studies have shown that primary osteoporosis' caused by oestrogen deficiency results in localised alterations in bone tissue properties and mineral composition. Additionally, changes to the lacunar-canalicular architecture surrounding the mechanosensitive osteocyte have been observed in animal models of the disease. Recently, it has also been demonstrated that the mechanical stimulation sensed by osteocytes changes significantly during osteoporosis. Specifically, it was shown that osteoporotic bone cells experience higher maximum strains than healthy bone cells after short durations of oestrogen deficiency. However, in long-term oestrogen deficiency there was no significant difference between bone cells in healthy and normal bone. The mechanisms by which these changes arise are unknown. In this study, we test the hypothesis that complex changes in tissue composition and lacunar-canalicular architecture during osteoporosis alter the mechanical stimulation of the ost...

Reinforcing interpenetrating network hydrogels with 3D printed polymer networks to engineer cartilage mimetic composites

Abstract:
Engineering constructs that mimic the complex structure, composition and biomechanics of the articular cartilage represents a promising route to joint regeneration. Such tissue engineering strategies require the development of biomaterials that mimic the mechanical properties of articular cartilage whilst simultaneously providing an environment supportive of chondrogenesis. Here three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting is used to develop polycaprolactone (PCL) fibre networks to mechanically reinforce interpenetrating network (IPN) hydrogels consisting of alginate and gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA). Inspired by the significant tension-compression nonlinearity of the collagen network in articular cartilage, we printed reinforcing PCL networks with different ratios of tensile to compressive modulus. Synergistic increases in compressive modulus were observed when IPN hydrogels were reinforced with PCL networks that were relatively soft in compression and stiff in tension. The resulting composit...

The Composition of Engineered Cartilage at the Time of Implantation Determines the Likelihood of Regenerating Tissue with a Normal Collagen Architecture.

Abstract:
The biomechanical functionality of articular cartilage is derived from both its biochemical composition and the architecture of the collagen network. Failure to replicate this normal Benninghoff architecture in regenerating articular cartilage may in turn predispose the tissue to failure. In this article, the influence of the maturity (or functionality) of a tissue-engineered construct at the time of implantation into a tibial chondral defect on the likelihood of recapitulating a normal Benninghoff architecture was investigated using a computational model featuring a collagen remodeling algorithm. Such a normal tissue architecture was predicted to form in the intact tibial plateau due to the interplay between the depth-dependent extracellular matrix properties, foremost swelling pressures, and external mechanical loading. In the presence of even small empty defects in the articular surface, the collagen architecture in the surrounding cartilage was predicted to deviate significantly...

Abstract:
The biomechanisms that govern the response of chondrocytes to mechanical stimuli are poorly understood. In this study, a series of in vitro tests are performed, in which single chondrocytes are subjected to shear deformation by a horizontally moving probe. Dramatically different probe force-indentation curves are obtained for untreated cells and for cells in which the actin cytoskeleton has been disrupted. Untreated cells exhibit a rapid increase in force upon probe contact followed by yielding behaviour. Cells in which the contractile actin cytoskeleton was removed exhibit a linear force-indentation response. In order to investigate the mechanisms underlying this behaviour, a three-dimensional active modelling framework incorporating stress fibre (SF) remodelling and contractility is used to simulate the in vitro tests. Simulations reveal that the characteristic force-indentation curve observed for untreated chondrocytes occurs as a result of two factors: (i) yielding of SFs due to...

Abstract:
Biological scaffolds generated from tissue-derived extracellular matrix (ECM) are commonly used clinically for soft tissue regeneration. Such biomaterials can enhance tissue-specific differentiation of adult stem cells, suggesting that structuring different ECMs into multi-layered scaffolds can form the basis of new strategies for regenerating damaged interfacial tissues such as the osteochondral unit. In this study, mass spectrometry is used to demonstrate that growth plate (GP) and articular cartilage (AC) ECMs contain a unique array of regulatory proteins that may be particularly suited to bone and cartilage repair respectively. Applying a novel iterative freeze-drying method, porous bi-phasic scaffolds composed of GP ECM overlaid by AC ECM are fabricated, which are capable of spatially directing stem cell differentiation in vitro, promoting the development of graded tissues transitioning from calcified cartilage to hyaline-like cartilage. Evaluating repair 12-months post-implant...
