Definitions
- the present invention relates to composite scaffolds capable of supporting growth of complex tissue and to methods of manufacturing and using same.
- the basic concept of tissue engineering employs a scaffold (matrix) which provides a support upon which seeded cells can organize and develop into desired tissue prior to implantation.
- the scaffold provides an initial biomechanical profile for the replacement tissue until the cells can produce an adequate extracellular matrix.
- the scaffold is either degraded or metabolized, eventually leaving engrafted tissue in its place.
- scaffolds are manufactured from biocompatible materials such that implantation thereof does not result in an adverse immune response or induced toxicity.
- scaffolds are typically manufactured with predetermined porosity so as to facilitate loading thereof of drugs or nutrients useful in promoting the growth of implanted cells.
- Fabrication of an appropriate scaffold is determined by the type of tissue to be generated.
- Various scaffold manufacturing procedures rely on fabrication and casting of polymeric foams.
- Most of the polymeric foams used for tissue engineering applications are made from polylactides (PLA), polyglycolides) (PGA), or a combination of the two (PLGA).
- Fiber bonding is a technique commonly for preparing structural interconnecting fiber networks for organ implants. Utilizing this process non-woven fibers are bonded together by immersing a non-bonded fiber structure of polymer A, such as PGA with a solution of polymer B (e.g., poly-L-lactic acid) (PLLA) using a solvent which does not dissolve polymer A. The solvent is then allowed to evaporate. The composite consisting of polymer A fibers embedded in a matrix of polymer B is heated above the melting temperature of polymer A to bond the fibers at their cross-points, and then polymer B is selectively dissolved (Mikos, et al. 1993 J. Biomed. Matl. Res. 27:183-189). The resultant bonded fiber structure of Polymer A has substantial rigidity, but the number of pores and their distribution is limited by that of the fiber mesh used in the fabrication.
- polymer A such as PGA
- polymer B e.g., poly-L-lactic acid
- Solvent-casting and particulate-leading In this technique, sieved salt particles, such as sodium chloride crystals, are spread in a PLLA/chloroform solution which is then used to cast a membrane. After evaporating the solvent, the PLLA/salt composite membranes are heated above the PLLA melting temperature and then quenched or annealed by cooling at controlled rates to yield amorphous or semi-crystalline forms with regulated crystallinity. The salt particles are eventually leached out by selective dissolution to produce a porous polymer matrix (Mikos, et al. 1992 Biodegradable Materials Research Society Symposium Proceedings, 252:352-358).
- Melt molding uses a TeflonTM mold, a mixture of fine PLGA powder and gelatin microspheres is heated above the glass-transition temperature of the polymer. The PLGA-gelatin composite is then removed from the mold and gelatin microspheres are leached out by selective dissolution in distilled de-ionized water.

This is due to the fact that such scaffolds are either incapable of generating complex tissues having a fully functional architecture (e.g., vascularized), or are incapable of supporting growth of complex tissues altogether.

- biodegradable materials include polymer compositions such as polyhydroxy acids, modified polysaccharides and combinations thereof.
- a composite scaffold for supporting vascularized structural tissue preferably includes two scaffold structures, a filamentous scaffold for the formation of vascular tissue and a continuous scaffold for the formation of the structural tissue. Following is a detailed description of these two scaffold structures.
- the filamentous scaffold of the present invention is a solid scaffold capable of supporting cell growth thereupon.
- Such a scaffold can mimic a blood vessel lumen and form a blood vessel having even small: capillary diameter of 4-50 microns.
- the filamentous scaffold must be strong and flexible enough to allow formation of flexible thin filaments having a diameter ranging between 4-500 microns.
- biodegradable polymers meet these criteria, including, for example, thin cellulose fibers.
- Cellulose fibbers can be modified by oxidation with, for example, periodate in aqueous medium, rendering the fibers more susceptible to hydrolytic degradation (biodegradation). The degree of oxidation determines the strength of the fiber and its degradation profile.
- These oxidized fibers can be further modified by impregnation with a biodegradable polymer such as poly (lactide-glycolide) so as to be more susceptible to biological degradation.
- fiber aldehyde groups can be reacted with amino containing hydrophilic or hydrophobic safe molecules including amino acids.
- polymers and copolymers based on hydroxy alkyl acid polyesters, polyphosphazene, poly (carbonates) and poly (phosphate esters), can also be used.
- Polymers based on lactide and glycolide acids are better suited for use with the filamentous scaffold of the present invention since it has been previously shown that such materials are capable of supporting cell growth and can be safely transplanted in humans (Shand and Heggie 2000).
- polymers can also be modified to meet the requirements described above.
- block and random copolymers of lactide acid and glycolic acid having a molecular weight greater than 10,000 can be spun into thin filaments.
- copolymers including 30 to 70% lactic acid may be used to delay degradation to a few weeks post transplantation.
- Increased flexibility of the filaments can be obtained by adding plasticizing agents such as, for example, tributyl citrate, tributyl citrate acetate, phospholipids, oleate esters and the like to the polymer blend or by incorporating agents, such as, for example, ricinoleic acid into the polymer chain.
- plasticizing agents such as, for example, tributyl citrate, tributyl citrate acetate, phospholipids, oleate esters and the like to the polymer blend or by incorporating agents, such as, for example, ricinoleic acid into the polymer chain.
- the mechanical properties of the filamentous scaffold must be maximized when supporting formation of a blood vessel such as an artery, which has to exhibit resistance to high blood pressure. This can be achieved by various cross-linking methods, interlinking the filamentous polymers, described herein above.
- cross linking is achieved via stereocomplexation which utilizes stereoisomers, such as the stereoisomers of copolymer of lactic acid, as linker molecules for stereo-cross-linking the polymer backbone (see Example 1 of the Examples section for further detail).
- stereoisomers such as the stereoisomers of copolymer of lactic acid
- the continuous scaffold of the present invention is designed so as to support tissue formation in and around the filamentous scaffold.
- the continuous scaffold can be composed of any of the polymers described hereinabove and/or any other polymers suitable for supporting structural tissue colonization/proliferation.

- the continuous scaffold component is generated under mild conditions. This enables to form the continuous scaffold component over a filamentous scaffold component which is already seeded with cells.
- Compositions based on viscous hyaluronic acid solutions, alginates cross-linked by calcium salts and proteins cross-linked by denaturation or non-harmful molecules can be used to form the continuous scaffold component over an already seeded filamentous scaffold component.
- stereocomplexed hydrophilic polymers including, natural polysaccharides, proteins, and polymers based on ethylene and propylene glycol and mixtures thereof can also be used.
- the composite scaffold or any of its components may also include a biologically active (bioactive) agent.
- bioactive agents can be incorporated into, or attached to, scaffold material. Incorporation or attachment can be configured for slow or timed release of one or more bioactive agents under suitable conditions.
- Bioactive agents used are slightly water-soluble, preferably moderately water-soluble, and are diffusible through the polymeric composition. They can be acidic, basic, or salts. They can be neutral molecules, polar molecules, or molecular complexes capable of hydrogen bonding. They can be in the form of ethers, esters, amides and the like, which are biologically activated when injected into the human or animal body.
- Bioactive agents suitable for use with the composite scaffold of the present invention include cytokines and growth factors for inducing proliferation/differentiation of various cell types, therapeutic agents used for the treatment, prevention, diagnosis, cure or mitigation of disease or illness, and diagnostic agents.

- a delivery system e.g., microspheres, liposomes
- the scaffold material can be formulated to degrade following implantation thereby promoting the release of the bioactive material from the scaffold.
- Release of a material having a low solubility in water typically requires the degradation of a substantial part of the polymer matrix to expose the material directly to the surrounding tissue fluids.
- the release of the biologically active material from the scaffold can be varied by, for example, the solubility of the bioactive material in water, the distribution of the bioactive material within the scaffold, or the size, shape, porosity, solubility and biodegradability of the scaffold material, among other factors.
- the release of the bioactive material from the scaffold can also be controlled by varying the molecular weight of the scaffold material and by adding rate modifying agents, such as oxidizing agents or hydrophilic molecules.
- a specific rate and/or time of release may be configured for each bioactive agent. Such specific release control is particularly desired in cases where the bioactive agents are used for inducing tissue formation.
- the biologically active agents are used in amounts that are therapeutically effective.
- the effective amount of a biologically active agent will depend on the particular material being used, delivery system and releasing rate.
- heterogeneous tissue ex-vivo.
- the heterogeneous tissue is represented by vascularized structural tissue.
- the first step typically involves building the vascular infrastructure.
- Vascular cells can be any cell type which can differentiate and give rise to cells lining blood vessels and capillaries, i.e., endothelial cells or pericytes from large blood vessels, skin tissue, foreskin tissue bone marrow and the like.
- the vascular cells are seeded onto the polymeric filaments of the filamentous scaffold, described hereinabove. This step can be effected using a spinner flask or an agitating tube. Seeded filamentous scaffold is incubated in a 37 ⁇ C incubator for 7-14 days. This results in the cover of the filamentous scaffold with vascular cells and forming a complex of branched tubular vascular structures termed as vascular bed system or vascular infrastructure (see Example 6 of the Examples section).
- vascular endothelial growth factor VEGF
- VEGF vascular endothelial growth factor
- a timed release of these factors mimics the biological state, hence enabling angiogenic differentiation and blood vessel formation.
- the vascular bed formed is embedded in a continuous scaffold.
- Embedding can be effected, for example, by using aqueous solution of natural or semi-natural polysaccharides or proteins such as hyaluronic acid, alginates, oxidized cellulose, high molecular weight dextran, pullulan or arabinogalactan.
- tissue cells such as bone forming or muscle forming cells, can be mixed in to the colloidal dispersion and cast onto the vascular infrastructure to form a seeded composite scaffold.
- the cell containing continuous scaffold material can be solidified by adding gelling ingredients such as calcium salts, in case of acidic polysaccharides (i.e., alginates, hyaluronic acid, and the like) or oxidized aldehyde containing polysaccharides in case of primary amino containing proteins (i.e., gelatin, albumin, collagen, fibrin and the like) or chitosan.
- gelation can be obtained by stereocomplexation of a polysaccharide based continuous scaffold as described hereinabove.
- the continuous scaffold solution can be cast over the filamentous scaffold and the cells seeded thereupon following polymerization.
- Example 4 of the Examples section which follows illustrates scaffold co-culturing of two cellular components ex-vivo.
- the composite scaffold of the present invention can also be used for in-vivo tissue generation.
- In-vivo tissue generation can be effected by implanting the composite scaffold of the present invention in an individual (see, for example, FIG. 2, Paradigm 1 ).
- scaffold materials preferably include bioactive agents (e.g., angiogenic factors) for promoting growth of one or more tissue types in-vivo.
- bioactive agents e.g., angiogenic factors
- the composite scaffold of the present invention can also be used for combined ex-vivo/in-vivo tissue generation.
- a vascular infrastructure scaffold carrying vascular cells is embedded in the tissue continuous scaffold and the composite scaffold formed is transplanted within an individual. Transplantation of such a scaffold provides a vascular infrastructure ready to integrate with the host vascular system and as such provides optimal setting for ingrowth of tissue and regeneration.
- structural tissue can be formed ex-vivo on a continuous scaffold surrounding a filamentous scaffold which includes angiogenic factor(s). Following implantation, the angiogenic factor(s) will promote ingrowth of capillaries and blood vessels into the engrafted structural tissue.
- the present invention provides composite scaffolds and methods of using same for ex-vivo/in-vivo generation of heterogeneous tissue.
- Two types of dextran-based block copolymers one containing segments of enantiomeric D-lactic acid of at least 10 monomer units and the other composed of segments of enantiomeric L-lactic acid of at least 10 monomer units were prepared. These two copolymers were then mixed together to form specific stereocomplex interactions between the complementary D and L enantiomeric blocks along the polymer chains. Stereocomplexation of a polymeric backbone was effected by separately conjugating copolymeric chains of poly-D and -L lactic acid (PLA), having a molecular weight of 1500, to dextran 40,000 or 500,000 via the dextran hydroxyl groups.
- PPA poly-D and -L lactic acid
- PLA (1 eq.), p-nitrophenylchloroformate (4 eq.) and triethylamine (6 eq.) were dissolved in 1 ml dichloromethane per 100 mg PLA. The mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight following which the dichloromethane was evaporated until a concentrated solution was obtained which was precipitated in isopropanol to yield PLA-O-p-nitrophenyl (>90% yield).
- a filamentous cellular scaffold based on poly(lactide-glycolide) polymer capable of supporting optimal growth of vascular tissue when embedded within a continuous sponge matrix cellular scaffold was synthesized.
- the use of such a polymer further permits the incorporation of agents, such as polypeptides, nucleic acids or lipids promoting the growth and differentiation of vascular cells therein.
- the random filaments were slightly compressed so as to form a three dimensional network of filamental bundles that were employed for cell-seeding.
- Incorporation of a bioactive agent into such a scaffold was effected by mixing the active agent into the polymeric material prior to spooning it into filaments.
- the active agent can be added as free powdery compound or in a formulated form such as pre-encapsulated in a biodegradable polymeric nano or microspheres.
- the active agent can also be applied onto the formed filament either by coating the filament with a polymeric solution that contains the active agent which after solvent evaporation forms a thin coating containing the active agent.
- Reconstitution of body tissues with tissues grown in three-dimensional artificial cellular scaffolds represents a highly desirable goal for replacement of diseased, defective or absent tissues or organs and is of particular benefit for avoiding rejection of transplanted donor tissues when such reconstitution is not effected with self-tissues.
- a major obstacle preventing the achievement of this goal is the requirement for vascularization of three-dimensional, biologically-engineered replacement tissues.
- an artificial cellular scaffold enabling the combined and regulated growth both of target replacement tissues and of their supporting vascular tissues has been constructed.
- the architecture of such a scaffold is composed of a first filamentous polymeric component designed for the tubular growth of supporting vasculature by endothelial cells which is integrally embedded within a three-dimensional continuous matrix sponge polymer designed to support the growth of the target replacement tissues. Both of these polymeric components were further designed for the regulated delivery of factors promoting specific differentiation of cells desired for each component.
- a filamentous polymer scaffold for growth of vascular cells is integrally embedded within a continuous matrix scaffold for growth of target replacement tissues. This is achieved by inducing polymerization of the continuous matrix polymer scaffold around the filamentous polymer scaffold.
- the polymers constituting the scaffold were pre-treated so as to optimize the in vivo implantation, growth and/or differentiation of their respective tissues. This was effected by pre-treating the scaffold components to express chemoattractants, adhesion molecules, differentiation factors and/or growth factors and/or to incorporate nucleic acids leading to the production of such factors.
- VEGF vascular endothelial growth factor
- an integrated cellular scaffold was implanted in vivo without pre-seeding with precursor cells to promote therein the differential colonization and growth of vascular and target replacement tissues derived from colonizing cells of the recipient (FIG. 2, Paradigm 1 ).
- the target replacement tissue-specific and the vasculature-specific polymers constituting the scaffold are pre-treated so as to optimize the implantation, growth and/or differentiation of their respective tissues, however in this case the vasculature-specific polymers are pre-treated so as to optimize the in vitro growth of vasculature which is followed by in vivo growth of target replacement tissues (FIG. 2, Paradigm 2 ).
- vascular tissues is first performed ex vivo by seeding the scaffold with vascular cells, such as endothelial cells, followed by culturing in a bioreactor under conditions optimal for growth of vascular cells (Vailhe B. et al., Lab Invest. 2001, 81:439) as follows:
- Scaffolds are seeded with 24 million vascular cells per scaffold by adding a cell suspension in medium of vascular cells on to the scaffold in a 96-well in tubes followed by culturing in spinner flasks or in agitated tubes for 20 hours.
- These vascular cells can include endothelial cells or pericytes harvested from large blood vessels, skin tissue, foreskin tissue or bone marrow from the patient or from a donor.
- These pre-seeded angiogenic scaffolds are then further cultured in a bioreactor or in a spinner flask for 7-14 days. Following formation of this angiogenic component, the resulting vascular bed is embedded in the target replacement tissue polymer solution which is induced to polymerize around the vascular infrastructure.
- the pre-vascularized scaffold is implanted in a recipient at the desired anatomical location for colonization, growth and differentiation of the target replacement tissue.
- both the target replacement tissues and the supporting vascular tissues were grown ill the integrated cellular scaffold in vitro prior to implantation in vivo (FIG. 2, Paradigm 3 ).
- the target replacement tissue-specific and the vasculature-specific polymers constituting the scaffold were pre-treated so as to optimize the implantation, growth and/or differentiation of their respective tissues, however in this case these were pre-treated so as to optimize their growth and differentiation in vitro prior to implantation in the recipient.
- the growth of both vascular and target replacement tissues were performed ex vivo by seeding the scaffold with vascular cells and the seeded scaffolds were cultured in a bioreactor under conditions permitting the growth and differentiation of both tissue types as follows:
- Filamentous polymer cellular scaffolds were seeded with 2-4 million endothelial cells per scaffold and seeded scaffolds were incubated in spinner flasks or in agitated tubes for 20 hours, following which scaffolds were further incubated in a rotating bioreactor or in a spinner flask for 7-14 days.
- the resulting vascular bed was embedded immersion in a polymerizing continuous matrix polymer solution containing target replacement tissue cells.
- the integrated cellular scaffold can be seeded with target replacement tissue precursor cells following polymerization by culture in spinner flasks or in agitating tubes for 4-10 hours. Growth of target replacement tissues with the scaffold was effected by culturing the seeded scaffold in a bioreactor for an additional 7 to 14 days.
- scaffolds containing reconstituted and vascularized tissues were implanted in recipients at the desired anatomical location in vivo for further colonization and growth of the component tissues.
- MSCs were transfected with a liposome-DNA complex, as depicted in FIG. 3 a, to determine the feasibility of this transfection modality prior to performing such a transfection with cellular scaffold loaded liposome-DNA complex.
- DNA-liposome complex was prepared by mixing 2.2 ml of 2.2 mM pNGVL1-ntbGAL with 98 ml serum-free medium followed by brief vortexing. To this mixture was added 82 ml of “Superfect” (QUIAGEN) liposome suspension and this mixture was allowed to sit for 5-10 min to allow complexation of plasmid and liposomes after which 486 ml of complete medium was added to the complexation mixture. The cell monolayer was subsequently washed in 1 ml PBS and incubated with liposome-plasmid complex for 2-3 hours.
- 1.3 ⁇ 10 5 MSCs cells were cultured in 2 ml complete medium (DMEM supplemented with 2 mM L-glutamine, 100 units/ml penicillin, 100 units/ml streptomycin and 10% FCS) in 6-well plates for 24 hours in a 37° C. humidified incubator with 5% CO 2 , resulting in growth of a cell monolayer.
- a transfection mixture consisting of 30 ml of 0.2 mM pNGVL1-ntbGAL, 24 ml dextran polycation and 29 ml HBSS was prepared and allowed to sit for 30 min to allow complexation of DNA and dextran. The cell monolayer was washed with 1 ml of 1 ⁇ PBS.
- Arabinogalactan-chitosan scaffolds were loaded with dextran-complexed or liposome-complexed DNA in order to test the ability of such scaffolds to induce cellular colonization and to serve as a DNA delivery system, when loaded with DNA, capable of leading to the up-take and expression of transgenes in colonizing cells.
- Non-complexed, dextran-complexed and liposome-complexed plasmid was then prepared for incorporation into arabinogalactan-chitosan scaffolds as follows:
- compositions of plasmid DNA for loading in cellular scaffolds were prepared as follows:
- Non-complexed plasmid 51 ml of 1.5 mM pNGVL1-ntbGAL was mixed with 49 ml of 5% dextrose
- Liposome-complexed plasmid 21 ml of 7.4 mM DOTAP-cholesterol (ROCHE) solution was mixed with 51 ml of 1.5 mM plasmid DNA and 28 ml of 5% dextrose
- Dextran-complexed plasmid 27 ml of dextran polymer (4 mg/ml) was mixed with 51 ml plasmid DNA and 22 ml of 5% dextrose
- Plasmid-loaded scaffolds were transplanted subcutaneously in C3H/HeN mice and the in vivo-passaged scaffold samples were harvested at two and four weeks post-implantation for analysis of ⁇ -galactosidase expression.
- Arabinogalactan-chitosan cellular scaffolds were loaded with naked, or liposome-complexed human BMP-2-encoding plasmid. DNA complexation and loading to scaffolds was performed as described above. Scaffolds were processed as described above, with the modification that these were loaded with 200 mg of BMP-2-encoding plasmid DNA per scaffold. Plasmid-loaded cellular scaffolds were then implanted subcutaneously into C3H/HeN and CD Nude mice and, four weeks post-implantation, samples were harvested and processed for histological and immunohistochemical analyses.
- tissue-replacement is to seed and culture cellular scaffolds in vitro with precursor cells specific for the target replacement tissue which have been genetically modified to express a factor promoting the growth and differentiation of such a tissue. Such seeded scaffolds may then be reimplanted in vivo for efficient reconstitution of target replacement tissues.
- a major obstacle to tissue replacement effected by in vitro culture of three-dimensional replacement tissues is the requirement for such tissues to be vascularized.
- this can be achieved by employing an integrated cellular scaffold containing a filamentous polymer component for growth of vascular cells embedded within a continuous sponge matrix polymer supporting the growth and differentiation of the target replacement tissues.
- Such an integrated cellular scaffold can thus be seeded with both target replacement tissue precursor cells and vasculogenic cells to thereby form the target replacement tissue with supporting vascularization.
- Arabinogalactan-chitosan scaffolds prepared as described in Example 4, were hydrated by agitation in 15 ml complete medium for 6 hours. Afterwards, hydrated scaffolds were seeded with 2 ⁇ 10 6 MSCs genetically modified to express BMP-2 and ⁇ -galactosidase in a volume 1 ml complete medium per scaffold and cultured with agitation at 100 RPM for 20 hours. Seeded scaffolds were then further cultured in a rotating bioreactor (SYNTHECON) at 4 scaffolds per 50 ml vessel for 2 weeks with medium replacement every 48 h.
- SYNTHECON rotating bioreactor
- cellular scaffolds were seeded with both endothelial cells and MSCs genetically-modified to express BMP-2 and ⁇ -galactosidase and were cultured in vitro as follows:
- Arabinogalactan-chitosan cellular scaffolds were prepared, hydrated and seeded with genetically modified MSCs together with murine endothelial cell lines ⁇ -END-2 or MA 2.1 as described above using 10 6 cells each of genetically modified MSCs and endothelial cells per scaffold (2 ⁇ 10 2 total). Seeded scaffolds were cultured in a rotating bioreactor (Synthecon) at 4 scaffolds per 50 ml vessel for 1 week and were then harvested and processed for histological analysis. Frozen 15 mm sections of cultured scaffolds were stained with either H&E or X-gal for detection of cartilage tissue and cells derived from the genetically modified MSCs, respectively.
- tissue-replacement is to seed cellular scaffolds with precursor cells specific for the target replacement tissue which have been genetically modified to express a factor specific for the growth and/or differentiation of such a tissue. Such seeded scaffolds may then be implanted in vivo in order to reconstitute the target replacement tissue following in vitro culture. This can be achieved by either implanting such scaffolds ectopically, either in the intended recipient or in a donor so as to enable in vivo culturing of replacement tissues. Alternatively, seeded scaffolds can be directly implanted orthotopically within the anatomical location requiring the replacement tissues.
- a regulatable transgene promoter system can be employed to enable shutting off of transgene expression. This constitutes an important safety feature when implanting genetically modified cells in the context of tissue-replacement therapy.
- Precut collagen sponges (3 ⁇ 3 ⁇ 2 mm, Colastat® #CP-3n, Vitaphore Corp.) were seeded with approximately 10 6 BMP-2 and ⁇ -galactosidase coexpressing.
- MSCs cultured in DUEM supplemented with 2 mM L-glutamine, 100 units/ml penicillin, 100 units/ml streptomycin and 10% FCS. Seeded matrices were then implanted into abdominal muscle of C3H/HEN mice. One control group of mice was maintained with water containing 0.5 mg/ml doxycycline.
- Detection of BMP-2 DNA and mRNA in implants was performed, respectively, by PCR and RT-PCR analysis of 1 mg genomic DNA and 2 mg mRNA harvested from abdominal muscle tissues. Transplanted cells were detected immunohistochemically with antibodies recognizing BMP-2 protein.
- Bone regeneration was analyzed by micro-CT morphometric analysis 20 days post-implantation.

- Genetically modified cells in cartilage tissue and in bone-lining trabecular tissue were found to display chondrocytic and osteoblastic morphologies, respectively, as determined by X-gal staining (FIGS.
- mesenchymal stem cells genetically modified to express the osteogenic factor BMP-2 are capable of forming organized osseous tissue including cartilage, bone and bone marrow when implanted ectopically in muscle tissue. Such a method can thus be utilized to grow replacement bony tissues ectopically for bone replacement therapy.
- MSCs were genetically modified with a transgene under the regulatory control of a tetracycline-inhibited promoter in order to provide a negative control for expression of BMP-2, thus enabling determination of its effect on differentiation of MSCs and also to provide an inducible shut-off system to terminate expression of a transgene by a genetically modified precursor cell employed in tissue replacement therapy.
- Doxycycline, a tetracycline analog was administered in the drinking water of in one control group of animals having received an implant of genetically modified cells.
- mesenchymal stem cells genetically modified to express BMP-2 have the capacity to efficiently regenerate damaged or missing bone tissues in vivo.
- MSCs respond to growth factors to differentiate and give rise to cartilage and bone cells (Triffitt, J T. Principles of bone biology. Eds. Bilezikian, J P. et al., Acad. Press Inc. NY. 1996, p. 39).
- a major obstacle to replacement of body tissues with replacement tissues grown within cellular scaffolds is the requirement for such tissues to be vascularized.
- Vascularization of such cellular scaffold-grown replacement tissues may be induced in vivo by factors promoting angiogenesis, such as factors secreted by the replacement tissue cells themselves, for example, by replacement tissue precursor cells transfected to express such factors.
- angiogenesis of cellular scaffold-grown replacement tissues can be effected in vivo by pre-seeding of scaffolds with angiogenic cells prior to implantation.
- An important means of optimizing angiogenesis of replacement tissues grown in cellular scaffolds is to employ scaffolds, as described above, in which a filamentous polymer for the tubular growth of vascular tissues is embedded integrally within a continuous, three dimensional sponge matrix supporting the growth of target replacement tissues.
- Vitrogen Collagen gels (Vitrogen 100; Collagen Corp., U.S.A.) were seeded with MSCs genetically modified to express the osteogenic factor BMP-2 under the regulatory control of a tetracycline/doxycycline-inhibited promoter and cultured in vitro. Cultured matrices were then implanted subcutaneously in C3H/HeN mice. Twenty days following implantation, implant samples were harvested and analyzed for blood vessel formation by histology and by immunohistochemical staining for detection of the endothelial marker PECAM. The surface area of the blood vessels formed in the implants was quantified via computerized histomorphometry.
- Chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) angiogenesis assays In order to determine the angiogenic potential of BMP-2, discs loaded with 25 mg of BMP-2 protein were analyzed by chick CAM assay, as previously described (O'Reilly, M. S. et al. Cell 1994, 79:315).
- Filamentous cellular scaffolds prepared as described in Example 2 were seeded with cells of the B-END-2 endothelial cell line by culturing scaffolds and cells for 20 hours with agitation after which these were transferred a rotating bioreactor for further culturing. Scaffold samples were harvested and processed for analysis of cartilage formation by H&E staining after 3 days of bioreactor culture. After 2 weeks of bioreactor incubation, seeded scaffolds were implanted subcutaneously in CD-nude mice.
- Angiogenesis induced by 10 mg BMP-2 in chick CAM assays A chick CAM assay of angiogenesis induced by BMP-2 clearly indicated that this protein has an angiogenic effect at a quantity of 10 mg comparted to non in vehicle injection (FIGS. 10 g and 10 h respectively) providing further support for the observation that this factor is angiogenic and can be employed to generate both bone tissue and supporting vasculature when implanted within a scaffold in vivo for bone tissue replacement therapy.
- Angiogenesis and chondrogenesis induced in vivo by osseous tissue formed by culturing cellular scaffolds seeded with MSCs genetically modified to express BMP-2 Intra-muscular implants of osseous tissue formed in vitro by seeding cellular scaffolds with MSCs genetically modified to express BMP-2 were shown to, engraft and to undergo very high levels of vascularization on Day 12, as evidenced by the numerous blood vessels visualized by microscopy and by MRI (FIGS. 11 a and 11 b respectively). Histological analysis of H&E stained frozen sections furthermore demonstrated significant growth of cartilage in the transplant area (FIG. 16 a,c ).
- filamentous cellular scaffolds seeded with cells of the B-END-2 endothelial cell line displayed massive vascularization (FIG. 13).
