The application of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) in tissue engineering (TE) approaches opens several new research possibilities in this field, enabling a new generation of multifunctional constructs for tissue regeneration. This study describes the development of sophisticated magnetic polymer scaffolds with aligned structural features aimed at applications in tendon tissue engineering (TTE). Tissue engineering magnetic scaffolds are prepared by incorporating iron oxide MNPs into a 3D structure of aligned SPCL (starch and polycaprolactone) fibers fabricated by rapid prototyping (RP) technology. The 3D architecture, composition, and magnetic properties are characterized. Furthermore, the effect of an externally applied magnetic field is investigated on the tenogenic differentiation of adipose stem cells (ASCs) cultured onto the developed magnetic scaffolds, demonstrating that ASCs undergo tenogenic differentiation synthesizing a Tenascin C and Collagen type I rich matrix under magneto-stimulation conditions. Finally, the developed magnetic scaffolds were implanted in an ectopic rat model, evidencing good biocompatibility and integration within the surrounding tissues. Together, these results suggest that the effect of the magnetic aligned scaffolds structure combined with magnetic stimulation has a significant potential to impact the field of tendon tissue engineering toward the development of more efficient regeneration therapies.
磁性纳米粒子(MNPs)在组织工程(TE)方法中的应用为该领域的研究开辟了新的可能性,使新一代多功能组织再生构建体成为可能。本研究描述了具有定向结构特征的复杂磁性聚合物支架的开发,旨在应用于肌腱组织工程(TTE)。通过将氧化铁 MNPs 掺入由快速原型制造(RP)技术制造的定向 SPCL(淀粉和聚己内酯)纤维的 3D 结构中,制备组织工程磁性支架。对 3D 结构、组成和磁性能进行了表征。此外,还研究了外加磁场对培养在开发的磁性支架上的脂肪干细胞(ASCs)向肌腱细胞分化的影响,结果表明,ASCs 在磁刺激条件下经历肌腱细胞分化,合成富含 Tenascin C 和 Collagen type I 的基质。最后,将开发的磁性支架植入异位大鼠模型中,证明其具有良好的生物相容性和与周围组织的整合性。总之,这些结果表明,磁性定向支架结构与磁刺激的联合作用具有显著的潜力,可推动肌腱组织工程领域朝着更有效的再生治疗方法的发展。
