Using a Novel Microfabricated Model of the Alveolar-Capillary Barrier to Investigate the Effect of Matrix Structure on Atelectrauma

Abstract: The alveolar-capillary barrier is composed of epithelial and endothelial cells interacting across a fibrous extracelluar matrix (ECM). Although remodeling of the ECM occurs during several lung disorders, it is not known how fiber structure and mechanics influences cell injury during cyclic airway reopening as occurs during mechanical ventilation (atelectrauma). We have developed a novel in vitro platform that mimics the micro/nano-scale architecture of the alveolar microenvironment and have used this system to… Show more

“…As a result, it was found that the stiffness of hybrid matrices significantly affects the barrier function of the epithelium/endothelium. An increase in the rigidity or density of the matrix led to a change in the structure of the cytoskeleton and a change in cell permeability [178]. Reprinted from [173] with permission from Nature Publishing Group, © 2017.…”

“…An in vitro model of atelectrauma was used as previously described. (28,78) Briefly, polyacrylamide gels containing 10% w/w acrylamide (Bio-Rad) and 0.25% w/w bisacrylamide (Bio-Rad) were fabricated on 40 mm glass slides (20 kPa, 200 µm thickness).…”

“…Matrix proteins such as collagens, elastin, laminin, fibronectin, and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are preserved through the decellularization process, but there are reports of up to a 50% loss of most of these components compared to native ECM [32,33]. Variations in ECM composition and stiffness can have a profound effect on cell phenotype, as well as cell attachment and barrier function [34][35][36]. High collagen and fibronectin content promote cell attachment at the expense of suboptimal barriers, indicative of metastasis and fibrosis [37][38][39][40].…”
