Collagen matrices from sponge to nano: new perspectives for tissue engineering of skeletal muscle

Abstract: BackgroundTissue engineering of vascularised skeletal muscle is a promising method for the treatment of soft tissue defects in reconstructive surgery. In this study we explored the characteristics of novel collagen and fibrin matrices for skeletal muscle tissue engineering. We analyzed the characteristics of newly developed hybrid collagen-I-fibrin-gels and collagen nanofibers as well as collagen sponges and OPLA®-scaffolds. Collagen-fibrin gels were also tested with genipin as stabilizing substitute for aprot… Show more

“…The presence of collagen fibers promotes the migration, proliferation, and differentiation of myoblasts, as well as myogenesis in stem cells, supposedly by creating a biologically, structurally, and biomechanically favorable environment. [46][47][48][49] Myosins bind to actin filaments within the skeletal muscle cells and play a key role in muscle contraction. Troponin molecules play a key role in the relaxation and contraction of muscles by controlling the interaction between tropomyosin and calcium channels, wherein tropomyosin lies in the actin filaments.…”

“…As an alternative strategy to in situ recruitment of cells, ECM has been commonly used as a delivery vehicle, where myogenic progenitor cells are seeded on a scaffold -which is then transferred to the in vivo site of interest (Beier et al, 2009;Borschel et al, 2004;Liao and Zhou, 2009;Merritt et al, 2010;Moon du et al, 2008;Vindigni et al, 2004). However, these techniques generally produce muscle tissue with minimal contractile forces since the amount of scaffold material is high and can inhibit myoblast fusion.…”

“…However, these techniques generally produce muscle tissue with minimal contractile forces since the amount of scaffold material is high and can inhibit myoblast fusion. Many approaches use a gel-based construct of mainly collagen, laminin or fibrin that do not necessarily replicate the complex ultrastructure of native tissue (Beier et al, 2009;Huang et al, 2005;Matsumoto et al, 2007;Rowlands et al, 2007;Vandenburgh et al, 1988).…”

“…Tissue engineering has the potential to produce tissues and organs de novo. The required pore sizes for bone, muscle and skin are 100-300 μm [5], 100-200 μm [6,7], and 20-120 μm [8], respectively. The tissue engineering materials for scaffold should be biocompatible, biodegradable, and mechanically stable, which depends on the material's chemistry, solubility, structure, shape, hydrophobicity/ hydrophilicity, surface energy, water absorption, molecular weight.…”
