Abstract:

Objective(s):Cardiomyocytes have small potentials for renovation and proliferation in adult life. The most challenging goal in the field of cardiovascular tissue engineering is the creation of an engineered heart muscle. Tissue engineering with a combination of stem cells and nanofibrous scaffolds has attracted interest with regard to Cardiomyocyte creation applications. Human adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) are good candidate for use in stem cell-based clinical therapies. They could be cultured and differentiated into several lineages such as cartilage, bone, muscle, neuronal cells, etc. Materials and Methods:In the present study, human ASCs were cultured on random and aligned polycaprolactone (PCL) nanofibers. The capacity of random and aligned PCL nanofibrous scaffolds to support stem cells for the proliferation was studied by MTT assay. The cardiomyocyte phenotype was first identified by morphological studies and Immunocytochemistry (ICC) staining, and then confirmed with evaluation of specific cardiac related gene markers expression by real-time RT-PCR. Results:The proliferation rate of ASCs on aligned nanofibrous PCL was significantly higher than random nanofibrous PCL. ICC and morphological studies results confirmed cardiomyocyte differentiation of ASCs on the nanofibrous scaffolds. In addition, the expression rate of cardiovascular related gene markers such as GATA-4, α-MHC and Myo-D was significantly increased in aligned nanofibrous PCL compared with random nanofibrous PCL. Conclusion:Our results show that the aligned PCL nanofibers are suitable physical properties as polymeric artificial scaffold in cardiovascular tissue engineering application.

Aligned and random nanofibrous nanocomposite scaffolds for bone tissue engineering

Aligned and random nanocomposite nanofibrous scaffolds were electrospun from polycaprolactone (PCL), poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (nHA). The morphology and mechanical characteristics of the nanofibers were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy and tensile testing, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy revealed fibers with an average diameter of 123 ± 3...

Comparison of Fibrin and PLGA/fibrin Scaffolds for Chondrogenesis of Human Adipose Derived Stem Cells by Icariin

Background: Recently, cartilage tissue engineering is the best candidate for regeneration of cartilage defects. We evaluated the potential of fibrin and PLGA/fibrin scaffolds in providing a suitable environment for growth and chondrogenic differentiation of human adipose derived stem cells (hADSCs) in the presence of icariin. Method: The Three-dimensional...

Reprogramming by cytosolic extract of human embryonic stem cells improves dopaminergic differentiation potential of human adipose tissue-derived stem cells

The extract of pluripotent stem cells induces dedifferentiation of somatic cells with restricted plasticity. In this study, we used the extract of human embryonic stem cells (hESC) to dedifferentiate adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs) and examined the impact of this reprogramming event on dopaminergic differentiation of the cells. For this purpose, cytoplasmic extract of ESCs was prepare...
