Complex interactions between stem cells, vascular cells and fibroblasts represent the substrate of building microenvironment-embedded 3D structures that can be grafted or added to bone substitute scaffolds in tissue engineering or clinical bone repair. Human Adipose-derived Stem Cells (hASCs), human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and normal dermal human fibroblasts (NDHF) can be mixed together in three dimensional scaffold free constructs and their behaviour will emphasize their potential use as seeding points in bone tissue engineering. Various combinations of the aforementioned cell lines were compared to single cell line culture in terms of size, viability and cell proliferation. At 5 weeks, viability dropped for single cell line spheroids while addition of NDHF to hASC maintained the viability at the same level at 5 weeks Fibroblasts addition to the 3D construct of stem cells and endothelial cells improves viability and reduces proliferation as a marker of cell differentiation toward osteogenic line.

Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells have become a popular cell choice for tendon repair strategies due to their relative abundance, ease of isolation, and ability to differentiate into tenocytes. In this study, we investigated the solo effect of different uniaxial tensile strains and loading frequencies on the matrix directionality and tenogenic differentiation of adipose-derived stem cells encapsulated within three-dimensional collagen scaffolds. Samples loaded at 0%, 2%, 4%, and 6% strains and 0.1 Hz and 1 Hz frequencies for 2 hours/day over a 7-day period using a custom-built uniaxial tensile strain bioreactor were characterized in terms of matrix organization, cell viability, and musculoskeletal gene expression profiles. The results displayed that the collagen fibers of the loaded samples exhibited increased matrix directionality with an increase in strain values. Gene expression analyses demonstrated that ASC-encapsulated collagen scaffolds loaded at 2% strain and 0.1 Hz frequency showed significant increases in extracellular matrix genes and tenogenic differentiation markers. Importantly, no cross-differentiation potential to osteogenic, chondrogenic, and myogenic lineages was observed at 2% strain and 0.1 Hz frequency loading condition. Thus, 2% strain and 0.1 Hz frequency were identified as the appropriate mechanical loading regime to induce tenogenic differentiation of adipose-derived stem cells cultured in a three-dimensional environment.

Aim. Macroporous sponge-like gelatin–hyaluronic acid (Gl–HA) scaffolds cross-linked by EDC were produced using cryogelation technology, which allows for the preparation of highly porous scaffolds without compromising their mechanical properties, and is a more cost-efficient process than freeze drying. The aim of this study is to evaluate the osteogenic potential of porcine adipose-derived stem cells (PADSCs) in GI–HA cryogel. Method. The character of the GI–HA cryogel was evaluated. The pore size and the microstructure were observed using scanning electron microscope (SEM). The swelling ratio was measured. The PADSCs were harvested and isolated from pig inguinal area. Then, the GI–HA cryogel was seeded with PADSCs. The cryogel/ASCs mixture was cultured in osteogenic medium for 0, 3, 7, 14, and 21 days. The cell proliferation was measured by MTS. The RT-PCR of specific osteogenic gene expression such as osteocalcin (OC), RUNX2 was used to assess the osteogenic ability. The SEM was used to observe the interaction between scaffold and cells. Energy dispersive spectrum (EDS) was used to analyze the mineralization around cells. Results. The pore size was variable between 200 and 369 μm. The swelling ratio was around 8.67 ± 1.669%. The cell proliferation was increasing along with the increase of induction periods. The expression of early gene of RUNX2 and late gene of OC mean that the PADSCs were differentiated well into osteoblasts within the cryogels. The SEM detailed that the PADSCs cell can proliferate well in the pore of GI–HA scaffold. The EDS also demonstrated the mineralization of PADSCs in GI–HA scaffold after induction. Conclusions. To conclude, the PADSCs can proliferate and differentiate well into osteoblasts in the three-dimensional, porous, GI–HA cryogel.
