Maintenance of Ligament Homeostasis of Spheroid-Colonized Embroidered and Functionalized Scaffolds after 3D Stretch

Abstract: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures are usually treated with autograft implantation to prevent knee instability. Tissue engineered ACL reconstruction is becoming promising to circumvent autograft limitations. The aim was to evaluate the influence of cyclic stretch on lapine (L) ACL fibroblasts on embroidered scaffolds with respect to adhesion, DNA and sulphated glycosaminoglycan (sGAG) contents, gene expression of ligament-associated extracellular matrix genes, such as type I collagen, decorin, tenascin … Show more

“…2b). When calling up a previous study where we determined a mean DNA content of 2.1 ± 1.2 µg/cm 3 in the native LACL (Gögele et al 2021), the DNA contents in the scaffold variants of this study were substantially higher than that of the native LACL.…”

“…The combination of P(LA-CL) with PLA allowed lapine ligamentocyte adherence and a biomechanical competence of the construct comparable to the native lapine ACL (LACL) (Hahn et al 2019). The functionalization of the material combination with gas-phase fluorination and collagen provided promising properties in several in vitro studies (Gögele et al 2020a(Gögele et al , 2021Hahn et al 2019).…”

“…In previous work, we could show that cruciate ligamentocyte spheroids are suitable for the colonization of synthetic polymer scaffolds [18,19,24]. When spheroids [4,22] or cell sheets [32] are seeded onto the scaffolds, cells emigrate and spread onto the scaffolds. However, high numbers of spheroids are required for tissue engineering; hence, high-throughput strategies for spheroid formation are needed.…”

“…With the hanging drop method, around 15 dishes with 9 cm diameters are needed, each containing 50 spheroids to achieve the same number of spheroids. The conventional hanging drop method is widely used for spheroid production [2,4,14,16,19]. However, this culture has some further limitations.…”
