Endometriosis occurs when endometrial-like tissue grows outside the uterine cavity, leading to pelvic pain, infertility, and increased risk of ovarian cancer. The present study describes the optimization and characterization of cellular spheroids as building blocks for Kenzan scaffold-free method biofabrication and proof-of-concept models of endometriosis and the endometriotic microenvironment. The spheroid building blocks must be of a specific diameter (~500 μm), compact, round, and smooth to withstand Kenzan biofabrication. Under optimized spheroid conditions for biofabrication, the endometriotic epithelial-like cell line, 12Z, expressed high levels of estrogen-related genes and secreted high amounts of endometriotic inflammatory factors that were independent of TNFα stimulation. Heterotypic spheroids, composed of 12Z and T-HESC, an immortalized endometrial stromal cell line, self-assembled into a biologically relevant pattern, consisting of epithelial cells on the outside of the spheroids and stromal cells in the core. 12Z spheroids were biofabricated into large three-dimensional constructs alone, with HEYA8 spheroids, or as heterotypic spheroids with T-HESC. These three-dimensional biofabricated constructs containing multiple monotypic or heterotypic spheroids represent the first scaffold-free biofabricated in vitro models of endometriosis and the endometriotic microenvironment. These efficient and innovative models will allow us to study the complex interactions of multiple cell types within a biologically relevant microenvironment.
当子宫内膜样组织在子宫腔外生长时,就会发生子宫内膜异位症,从而导致盆腔疼痛、不孕以及卵巢癌风险增加。本研究描述了细胞球体作为Kenzan无支架方法生物制造的构建模块以及子宫内膜异位症和子宫内膜异位微环境概念验证模型的优化和表征。球体构建模块必须具有特定直径(约500μm),紧凑、圆形且光滑,以承受Kenzan生物制造。在生物制造的优化球体条件下,子宫内膜异位上皮样细胞系12Z表达高水平的雌激素相关基因,并分泌大量与肿瘤坏死因子α刺激无关的子宫内膜异位炎症因子。由12Z和永生化子宫内膜基质细胞系T-HESC组成的异型球体自组装成一种生物学相关模式,球体外部为上皮细胞,核心为基质细胞。12Z球体单独、与HEYA8球体一起或与T-HESC作为异型球体被生物制造为大型三维构建体。这些包含多个同型或异型球体的三维生物制造构建体代表了首个无支架生物制造的体外子宫内膜异位症和子宫内膜异位微环境模型。这些高效且创新的模型将使我们能够研究生物相关微环境中多种细胞类型之间的复杂相互作用。
