Effect of prevascularization on in vivo vascularization of poly(propylene fumarate)/fibrin scaffolds

Abstract: The importance of vascularization in the field of bone tissue engineering has been established by previous studies. The present work proposes a novel poly(propylene fumarate) (PPF)/fibrin composite scaffold for the development of vascularized neobone tissue. The effect of prevascularization (i.e., in vitro pre-culture prior to implantation) with human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) on in vivo vascularization of scaffolds was determined. Five conditions were s… Show more

“…Proper tissue function requires a cell to be located within 150-200 μm of the nearest capillary [1] and it is without surprise therefore that most tissue engineering approaches rely on the presence of a functional vascular network [2-4]. The use of biomaterials in tissue engineering have focused on two major strategies: as a tool to control and prolong the release of angiogenic factors [5-7], or alternatively as a scaffold to enhance the growth of vascular cells supplied [3, 4, 8, 9]. …”

“…Such impaired vascular regeneration is implicated in highly prevalent diseases including stroke, liver cirrhosis, muscle atrophy, Alzheimer's disease as well as cardiac and kidney failure. The potential to use biomaterials to enhance vascularization of ischemic tissues [11, 34, 35], as well as for vascular tissue engineering applications [2, 4, 11] hold great promise. However, it should be noted that not all vascular beds respond similarly to angiogenic factors.…”

“…6,1218 The most impressive of these studies demonstrate that implantation of pre-cultured human microvessels in immune-compromised mice can result in inosculation with the host vasculature and perfusion of the human microvessels. 13,14,17 However, these studies were carried out in the healthy subcutaneous environment, and no study has implanted pre-cultured human microvessels in the especially challenging myocardial infarct environment. With the ultimate goal of treating myocardial infarctions and heart disease with a perfusable, beating cardiac patch containing both microvessels and cardiomyocytes, the only fair way to assess the vascularization potential of a precursor patch containing only microvessels would be to implant it at the site of a myocardial infarction.…”

“…The two cell types studied here, HUVECs and MSCs, are widely used as model cells in the evaluation of biomaterials and tissue engineering products . Results of the DNA comet assays indicate that PLGA concentrations of 2 and 6 mg/mL induce DNA damage in both types of cells when exposed for 4 days or more.…”

“…The two cell types studied here, HUVECs and MSCs, are widely used as model cells in the evaluation of biomaterials and tissue engineering products. 26,27 Results of the DNA comet assays indicate that PLGA concentrations of 2 and 6 mg/mL induce DNA damage in both types of cells when exposed for 4 days or more. PLGA degradation requires a time period of 1-5 weeks; 15 it appears that after 4 days the levels of degradation products are high enough to induce damage.…”
