Abstract
Introduction Vascular tissue engineering is a key technology in the field of regenerative medicine. In tissue engineering, the separation of vascular cells without cell modification is required, as cell modifications affect the intrinsic properties of the cells. In this study, we have developed an effective method for separating vascular cells without cell modification, using a thermoresponsive anionic block copolymer. Methods A thermoresponsive anionic block copolymer, poly(acrylic acid)-b-poly(N-isopropylacryl-amide) (PAAc-b-PNIPAAm), with various PNIPAAm segment lengths, was prepared in two steps: atom transfer radical polymerization and subsequent deprotection. Normal human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), normal human dermal fibroblasts, and human aortic smooth muscle cells (SMCs) were seeded onto the prepared thermoresponsive anionic block copolymer brush-modified glass. The adhesion behavior of cells on the copolymer brush was observed at 37 °C and 20 °C. Results A thermoresponsive anionic block copolymer, poly(acrylic acid)-b-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PAAc-b-PNIPAAm), with various PNIPAAm segment lengths was prepared. The prepared copolymer-modified glass exhibited anionic properties attributed to the bottom PAAc segment of the copolymer brush. On the PAAc-b-PNIPAAm, which had a moderate PNIPAAm length, a high adhesion ratio of HUVECs and low adhesion ratio of SMCs were observed at 37 °C. By reducing temperature from 37 °C to 20 °C, the adhered HUVECs were detached, whereas the SMCs maintained adhesion, leading to the recovery of purified HUVECs by changing the temperature. Conclusions The prepared thermoresponsive anionic copolymer-modified glass could be used to separate HUVECs and SMCs by changing the temperature without modifying the cell surface. Therefore, the developed cell separation method will be useful for vascular tissue engineering.

Nakao M, Nagase K. Harvesting methods of umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells from culture modulate cell properties and functions. Regen Ther 2024; 26:80-88. [PMID: 38841206 PMCID: PMC11152751 DOI: 10.1016/j.reth.2024.05.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2024] [Revised: 04/11/2024] [Accepted: 05/19/2024] [Indexed: 06/07/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction Human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) are promising candidates for stem cell therapy. Various methods such as enzymatic treatment, cell scraping, and temperature reduction using temperature-responsive cell culture dishes have been employed to culture and harvest UC-MSCs. However, the effects of different harvesting methods on cell properties and functions in vitro remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the properties and functions of UC-MSC using various cell-harvesting methods. Methods UC-MSC suspensions were prepared using treatments with various enzymes, cell scraping, and temperature reduction in temperature-responsive cell culture dishes. UC-MSC sheets were prepared in a temperature-responsive cell culture dish. The properties and functions of the UC-MSC suspensions and sheets were assessed according to Annexin V staining, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) assay, re-adhesion behavior, and cytokine secretion analysis via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results Annexin V staining revealed that accutase induced elevated UC-MSC apoptosis. Physical scraping using a cell scraper induced a relatively high LDH release due to damaged cell membranes. Dispase exhibited relatively low adhesion from initial incubation until 3 h. UC-MSC sheets exhibited rapid re-adhesion at 15 min and cell migration at 6 h. UC-MSC sheets expressed higher levels of cytokines such as HGF, TGF-β1, IL-10, and IL-6 than did UC-MSCs in suspension. Conclusions The choice of enzyme and physical scraping methods for harvesting UC-MSCs significantly influenced their activity and function. Thus, selecting appropriate cell-harvesting methods is important for successful stem cell therapy.

Abstract
Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs) based on somatic cells expanded in vitro, with or without genetic modification, is a rapidly growing area of drug development, even more so following the marketing approval of several such products. ATMPs are produced according to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) in authorized laboratories. Potency assays are a fundamental aspect of the quality control of the end cell products and ideally could become useful biomarkers of efficacy in vivo. Here we summarize the state of the art with regard to potency assays used for the assessment of the quality of the major ATMPs used clinic settings. We also review the data available on biomarkers that may substitute more complex functional potency tests and predict the efficacy in vivo of these cell-based drugs.

Abstract
Tissue engineering combines cell biology and material science to construct tissues or organs for disease modeling, drug testing, and regenerative medicine. The cell sheet is a newly developed tissue engineering technology that has brought about scaffold-free tissue and shows great application potential. In this review, we summarized recent progress and future possibilities in preclinical research into and clinical applications of cell sheets fabricated by differing cell types from various sources for cardiac tissue repair, and the manufacturing strategies and promising application potential of 3D cell-dense tissue constructed from cell sheets. Special attention was paid to the mechanisms of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) sheets in the prevention of myocardial ischemia and left ventricle remodeling. Comparing MSCs sheets with other types of cell sheets and 3D cardiac tissues, engineering tissues' potential safety and effectiveness concerns were also discussed.

Surg Endosc 2022; 36:7056-7065.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Success rate of endoscopic dilation (ED) of complex benign esophageal strictures (CBES) can be as low as 65%. Since EDs are usually performed at 2-4-week intervals, the aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes of EDs done initially at weekly intervals. METHODS A cohort of patients with CBES (luminal diameter < 10 mm) underwent ED at weekly intervals and subsequent dilation intervals adjusted based on response. Weekly EDs were also re-initiated in those requiring additional interventions (electro-cautery/stents). Group A patients: Failed prior EDs done at ≥ 2-week intervals. Group B: CBES with no prior dilations. Success was defined as achieving and maintaining a luminal diameter of ≥ 14 mm and patient remaining dysphagia-free with minimal re-interventions. RESULTS 488 EDs were performed on a cohort of 57 consecutive patients with CBES. Median follow-up was 4 years. Group A: 21 patients (mean age 65 ± 13 years; mean interval between prior failed dilations 17 ± 9 days). 57% of these patients achieved long-term success with weekly dilations (mean 8 ± 4.7 dilations/patient). Group B: 36 patients (mean age 61 ± 13 years, mean 6.5 ± 5.5 dilations/patient). Long-term success was 83.3% (P = 0.033). Despite weekly dilations, unable to achieve a diameter of 14 mm in 5 patients. AE: perforation 1 (0.2%), bleeding 1 (0.2%). CONCLUSION Significant proportion of patients with CBES who failed prior dilations done at ≥ 2-week intervals achieved dysphagia-free status by initiating weekly dilations. Hence, before considering other options (electro-cautery/stents), one can consider using this approach. This approach can also be used upfront in patients with newly diagnosed CBES.

Abstract
Esophageal stricture commonly occurs in patients that have suffered from endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), and it makes swallowing difficult for patients, significantly reducing their life qualities. So far, the prevention strategies applied in clinical practice for post-ESD esophageal stricture usually bring various inevitable complications, which drastically counteract their effectiveness. Nowadays, with the widespread investigation and application of biomedical materials, lots of novel approaches have been devised in terms of the prevention of esophageal stricture. Biomedical polymers and biomedical-derived materials are the most used biomedical materials to prevent esophageal stricture after ESD. Both of biomedical polymers and biomedical-derived materials possess great physicochemical properties such as biocompatibility and biodegradability. Moreover, some biomedical polymers can be used as scaffolds to promote cell growth, and biomedical-derived materials have biological functions similar to natural organisms, so they are important in tissue engineering. In this review, we have summarized the current approaches for preventing esophageal stricture and put emphasis on the discussion of the roles biomedical polymers and biomedical-derived materials acted in esophageal stricture prevention. Meanwhile, we proposed several potential methods that may be highly rational and feasible in esophageal stricture prevention based on other researches associated with biomedical materials. This review is expected to offer a significant inspiration from biomedical materials to explore more effective, safer, and more economical strategies to manage post-ESD esophageal stricture.

Abstract
Epithelial tissues are the most rapidly dividing tissues in the body, holding a natural ability for renewal and regeneration. This ability is crucial for survival as epithelia are essential to provide the ultimate barrier against the external environment, protecting the underlying tissues. Tissue stem and progenitor cells are responsible for self-renewal and repair during homeostasis and following injury. Upon wounding, epithelial tissues undergo different phases of haemostasis, inflammation, proliferation and remodelling, often resulting in fibrosis and scarring. In this review, we explore the phenotypic differences between the skin, the oesophagus and the oral mucosa. We discuss the plasticity of these epithelial stem cells and contribution of different fibroblast subpopulations for tissue regeneration and wound healing. While these epithelial tissues share global mechanisms of stem cell behaviour for tissue renewal and regeneration, the oral mucosa is known for its outstanding healing potential with minimal scarring. We aim to provide an updated review of recent studies that combined cell therapy with bioengineering exporting the unique scarless properties of the oral mucosa to improve skin and oesophageal wound healing and to reduce fibrotic tissue formation. These advances open new avenues toward the ultimate goal of achieving scarless wound healing.

Abstract
Human freeze-dried cancellous bone combined with human chondrocyte sheets have recently been used to construct an osteochondral-like tissue, which resembled a cartilage layer on a subchondral bone layer. Nevertheless, the efficacy of these human tissues in a xenogeneic model has been rarely reported. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the potential of human freeze-dried cancellous bones combined with human chondrocyte sheets for the treatment of osteochondral defects in rabbits. The key roles of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and released cytokines in these tissues in osteochondral repair were also assessed. Triple-layered chondrocyte sheets were constructed using a temperature-responsive culture surface. Then, they were placed onto cancellous bone to form chondrocyte sheet-cancellous bone tissues. The immunostaining of collagen type II (COL2) and the proteomic analysis of the human tissues were carried out before the transplantation. In our in vitro study, the triple-layered chondrocyte sheets adhered well on the cancellous bone, and the COL2 expression was apparent throughout the tissue structures. From the proteomic analysis results, it was found that the major function of the secreted proteins found in these tissues was protein binding. The distinct pathways were focal adhesion and the ECM-receptor interaction pathways. Among the highly expressed proteins, laminin-alpha 5 (LAMA5) and fibronectin (FN) not only played roles in the protein binding and ECM-receptor interaction, but also were involved in the cytokine-mediated signaling pathway. At 12 weeks after xenogeneic transplantation, compared to the control group, the defects treated with the chondrocyte sheets showed more hyaline-like cartilage tissue, as indicated by the abundance of safranin-O and COL2 with a partial collagen type I (COL1) expression. At 4, 8, and 12 weeks, compared to the defects treated with the cancellous bone, the staining of safranin-O and COL2 was more apparent in the defects treated with the chondrocyte sheet-cancellous bone tissues. Therefore, the human chondrocyte sheets and chondrocyte sheet-cancellous bone tissues provide a potential treatment for rabbit femoral condyle defect. LAMA5 and FN found in these human xenografts and their culture media might play key roles in the ECM-receptor interaction and might be involved in the cytokine-mediated signaling pathway during tissue repair.
