چکیده
Objective: To investigate the effects of growth factors fibroblast-derived extracellular matrix formation in the 3D fiber-deposited polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffold fabricated by 3D printing technique for tissue engineering applications of tunica albuginea. Methods: PCL scaffold was fabricated by 3D bioprinting system. For in vitro cell study, scaffolds were seeded with human fibroblast cell at 5×105 cells and were cultured for up to 2 weeks. Cell survival and cell proliferation were monitored by EZ-cytox assay. The effect of growth factors on the extracellular matrix formation was evaluated by fastin elastin assay and enzyme immunoassay (EIA). Results: SEM images showed the surface morphology of PCL scaffolds. Human fibroblasts were grown on 3D PCL scaffolds in the presence/absence of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) or transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1). bFGF or TGF-β1 stimulated proliferation of fibroblasts and also increased collagen and elastin formation in vitro study. Conclusions: This study shows that bFGF or TGF-β1 modulates the fibroblast-derived extracellular matrix formation in the 3D PCL scaffold.

Targeting the loss of the von Hippel-Lindau tumor suppressor gene in renal cell carcinoma cells.
Late-stage clear cell renal carcinoma poses a formidable clinical challenge due to the high mortality rate associated with this disease. Molecular and genetic studies have identified functional loss of the von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) gene as a frequent and crucial event in the development of the malignant phenotype of clear cell renal carcinomas. Loss of VHL function thus represents a pathognomonic...
متن کاملDicer suppresses the malignant phenotype in VHL-deficient clear cell renal cell carcinoma by inhibiting HIF-2α
Both the von Hippel-Lindau (VHL)/hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) pathway and microRNA (miRNA) regulation are important mechanisms underlying the development and progression of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Here we demonstrate that VHL deficiency leads to downregulation of Dicer and, in turn, defects in the miRNA biogenesis machinery in ccRCCs. Dicer inhibited expression of HIF-2α, whi...
متن کاملJAK kinases promote invasiveness in VHL-mediated renal cell carcinoma by a suppressor of cytokine signaling-regulated, HIF-independent mechanism.
von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease is a cancer syndrome, which includes renal cell carcinoma (RCC), and is caused by VHL mutations. Most, but not all VHL phenotypes are due to failure of mutant VHL to regulate constitutive proteolysis of hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs). Janus kinases (JAK1, 2, 3, and TYK2) promote cell survival and proliferation, processes tightly controlled by SOCS proteins, whi...
متن کاملSilencing of epidermal growth factor receptor suppresses hypoxia-inducible factor-2-driven VHL-/- renal cancer.
Inactivating mutations in the von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) tumor suppressor gene are associated with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (VHL-/- RCC), the most frequent malignancy of the human kidney. The VHL protein targets the alpha subunits of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) transcription factor for ubiquitination and degradation. VHL-/- RCC cells fail to degrade HIF resulting in the constitutive acti...
متن کاملRe: miR-28-5p promotes chromosomal instability in VHL-associated cancers by inhibiting Mad2 translation.
Chromosomal instability enables tumor development, enabled in part by aberrant expression of the mitotic checkpoint protein Mad2. Here we identify a novel regulatory mechanism for Mad2 expression involving miR-28-5p-mediated inhibition of Mad2 translation, and we demonstrate that this mechanism is triggered by inactivation of the tumor suppressor VHL, the most common event in clear cell renal c...
