The development of stem cell technology in combination with advances in biomaterials has opened new ways of producing engineered tissue substitutes. In this study, we investigated whether the therapeutic potential of an acellular porous scaffold made of type I collagen can be improved by the addition of a powerful trophic agent in the form of mesenchymal stromal cells conditioned medium (MSC-CM) in order to be used as an acellular scaffold for skin wound healing treatment. Our experiments showed that MSC-CM sustained the adherence of keratinocytes and fibroblasts as well as the proliferation of keratinocytes. Moreover, MSC-CM had chemoattractant properties for keratinocytes and endothelial cells, attributable to the content of trophic and pro-angiogenic factors. Also, for the dermal fibroblasts cultured on collagen scaffold in the presence of MSC-CM versus serum control, the ratio between collagen III and I mRNAs increased by 2-fold. Furthermore, the gene expression for α-smooth muscle actin, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 and 2 and matrix metalloproteinase-14 was significantly increased by approximately 2-fold. In conclusion, factors existing in MSC-CM improve the colonization of collagen 3D scaffolds, by sustaining the adherence and proliferation of keratinocytes and by inducing a pro-healing phenotype in fibroblasts.
干细胞技术与生物材料的进步相结合,为生产工程组织替代物开辟了新途径。在这项研究中,我们研究了是否可以通过添加间充质基质细胞条件培养基(MSC-CM)这种有效的营养剂来改善由 I 型胶原制成的多孔无细胞支架的治疗潜力,以便将其用作皮肤伤口愈合治疗的无细胞支架。我们的实验表明,MSC-CM 维持角质细胞和成纤维细胞的黏附和增殖,并且对角质细胞和内皮细胞具有趋化作用,这归因于营养和促血管生成因子的含量。此外,与血清对照相比,在 MSC-CM 存在下培养在胶原支架上的真皮成纤维细胞中,III 型胶原和 I 型胶原 mRNA 的比例增加了 2 倍。此外,α-平滑肌肌动蛋白、金属蛋白酶组织抑制剂 1 和 2 以及基质金属蛋白酶 14 的基因表达增加了约 2 倍。总之,MSC-CM 中的因子通过维持角质细胞的黏附和增殖,并诱导成纤维细胞产生促愈合表型,改善了胶原 3D 支架的定植。
