Perivascular Secretome Influences Hematopoietic Stem Cell Maintenance in a Gelatin Hydrogel

Abstract: Adult hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) produce the body's full complement of blood and immune cells. They reside in specialized microenvironments, or niches, within the bone marrow. The perivascular niche near blood vessels is believed to help maintain primitive HSCs in an undifferentiated state but demonstration of this effect is difficult. In vivo studies make it challenging to determine the direct effect of the endosteal and perivascular niches as they can be in close proximity, and two-dimensional in vitro … Show more

“…We have previously developed a family of gelatin hydrogels to investigate pathophysiological processes underlying glioblastoma invasion and progression. Extensive biophysical performance data has previously been reported including network architecture and mechanical performance [52,53], water and small-molecule diffusivity [54][55][56], and the capacity to support growth and phenotypic studies of primary glioblastoma cells and cells from the neurovascular unit [57,58]. For this project, GBM and MG cells were maintained in three-dimensional culture in a 4 wt% methacrylamide-functionalized gelatin (GelMA) that exhibited a physiologically relevant Young's modulus (1.04 ± 0.10 kPa; n = 14; Fig.…”

“…Other scaffolds fabricated with manuka honey have demonstrated clearance of S. aureus at higher concentrations >10%, however, the effect of this concentration on the regeneration of bone and bone cell health has not been investigated [23, 26]. Additionally, there is significant opportunity to better understand the impact of honey on endothelial vasculature formation using a range of recent advances in three-dimensional vessel imaging [84] and quantitative assessment [85].…”

“…Some of these approaches have been developed to study hematopoietic cell trafficking and thrombopoiesis mechanisms, 35 but they often rely on the addition of MSCs, which under specific culture conditions can serve as perivascular cells. 20,22 This often requires complex medium compositions to match the different cell types requirements. 36 Furthermore, these approaches lack the osteoblastic cells typically found in native human BM.…”

“…17 In contrast, 3D in vitro culture systems with engineered perivascular niches offer a model to study human hematopoiesis in long-term controlled settings, but they often rely on the use of Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial cells (HUVECs) to construct the capillary networks, requiring thus an additional source of perivascular cells (normally BM-MSCs) and complex medium compositions with angiogenic factors. [18][19][20][21][22] We previously developed a 3D angiogenic niche that bypasses this constraint by culturing the stromal vascular fraction (SVF) cells from human adipose tissue on collagen scaffolds and inside perfusion bioreactors. 23 The SVF is a heterogenous mix of pericytes, mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), mature endothelial cells and endothelial progenitor cells 24,25 that reproducibly promotes the formation of vascular structures (endothelium + perivascular cells) and the release of angiogenic factors in vitro.…”
