The ideal combination of hydrogel components for regeneration of cartilage and cartilaginous interfaces is a significant challenge because control over differentiation into multiple lineages is necessary. Stabilization of the phenotype of stem cell derived chondrocytes is needed to avoid undesired progression to terminal hypertrophy and tissue mineralization. A novel ternary blend hydrogel composed of methacrylated poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), gelatin, and heparin (PGH) was designed to guide chondrogenesis by bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and maintenance of their cartilaginous phenotype. The hydrogel material effects on chondrogenic and osteogenic differentiation by BMSCs were evaluated in comparison to methacrylated gelatin hydrogel (GEL), a conventional bioink used for both chondrogenic and osteogenic applications. PGH and GEL hydrogels were loaded with goat BMSCs and cultured in chondrogenic and osteogenic mediums in vitro over six weeks. The PGH showed no sign of mineral deposition in an osteogenic environment in vitro. To further evaluate material effects, the hydrogels were loaded with adult human BMSCs (hBMSCs) and transforming growth factor β-3 and grown in subcutaneous pockets in mice over eight weeks. Consistent with the in vitro results, the PGH had greater potential to induce chondrogenesis by BMSCs in vivo compared to the GEL as evidenced by elevated gene expression of chondrogenic markers, supporting its potential for stable cartilage engineering. The PGH also showed a greater percentage of GAG positive cells compared to the GEL. Unlike the GEL, the PGH hydrogel exhibited anti-osteogenic effects in vivo as evidenced by negative Von Kossa staining and suppressed gene expression of hypertrophic and osteogenic markers. By nature of their polymer composition alone, the PGH and GEL regulated BMSC differentiation down different osteochondral lineages. Thus, the PGH and GEL are promising hydrogels to regenerate stratified cartilaginous interfacial tissues in situ, such as the mandibular condyle surface, using undifferentiated BMSCs and a stratified scaffold design.

Because the collagen membrane lacks osteoinductivity, it must be modified with bioactive components to trigger rapid bone regeneration. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the bone regeneration effects of a collagen membrane chemically conjugated with stromal cell-derived factor-1 alpha (SDF-1α) in rat models. To this end, different collagen membranes from four groups including a control group with a Bio-Oss bone substitute + collagen membrane; physical adsorption group with Bio-Oss + SDF-1α physically adsorbed on the collagen membrane; chemical cross-linking group with Bio-Oss + SDF-1α chemically cross-linked to the collagen membrane; and cell-seeding group with Bio-Oss + bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) seeded onto the collagen membrane were placed in critical-sized defect models using a guided bone regeneration technique. At 4 and 8 weeks, the specimens were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, micro-computed tomography, and histomorphology analyzes. Furthermore, ectopic osteogenesis was examined by histological analysis with Von Kossa staining, with the samples counterstained by hematoxylin and eosin and immunohistochemical staining. The results showed that in the chemical cross-linking group and cell-seeding group, the bone volume fraction, bone surface area fraction, and trabecular number were significantly increased and showed more new bone formation compared to the control and physical adsorption groups. Von Kossa-stained samples counterstained with hematoxylin and eosin and subjected to immunohistochemical staining of 4-week implanted membranes revealed that the chemical cross-linking group had the largest number of microvessels. The collagen membrane chemically conjugated with SDF-1α to significantly promote new bone and microvessel formation compared to SDF-1α physical adsorption and showed similar effects on new bone formation as a BMSC seeding method. This study provided a cell-free approach for shortening the bone healing time and improving the success rate of guided bone regeneration.

A tissue-engineered heart valve can be an alternative to current mechanical or bioprosthetic valves that face limitations, especially in pediatric patients. However, it remains challenging to produce a functional tissue-engineered heart valve with three leaflets mimicking the trilayered, oriented structure of a native valve leaflet. In our previous study, a flat, trilayered nanofibrous substrate mimicking the orientations of three layers in a native leaflet—circumferential, random and radial orientations in fibrosa, spongiosa and ventricularis layers, respectively, was developed through electrospinning. In this study, we sought to develop a trilayered tissue structure mimicking the orientations of a native valve leaflet through in vivo tissue engineering, a practical regenerative medicine technology that can be used to develop an autologous heart valve. Thus, the nanofibrous substrate was placed inside the closed trileaflet-shaped cavity of a mold and implanted subcutaneously in a rat model for in vivo tissue engineering. After two months, the explanted tissue construct had a trilayered structure mimicking the orientations of a native valve leaflet. The infiltrated cells and their deposited collagen fibrils were oriented along the nanofibers in each layer of the substrate. Besides collagen, presence of glycosaminoglycans and elastin in the construct was observed.
