Journal: | NANOMATERIALS | Issue Date: | 2022 | Abstract: | Several studies have been conducted on the interaction between three-dimensional scaffolds and mesenchymal stem cells for the regeneration of damaged tissues. Considering that stem cells do not survive for sufficient time to directly sustain tissue regeneration, it is essential to develop cell-free systems to be applied in regenerative medicine. In this work, by in vivo experiments, we established that a collagen-nanostructured scaffold, loaded with a culture medium conditioned with mesenchymal stem cells derived from adipose tissue (hASC-CM), exerts a synergic positive effect on angiogenesis, fundamental in tissue regeneration. To this aim, we engrafted athymic BALB-C nude mice with four different combinations: scaffold alone; scaffold with hASCs; scaffold with hASC crude protein extract; scaffold with hASC-CM. After their removal, we verified the presence of blood vessels by optical microscopy and confirmed the vascularization evaluating, by real-time PCR, several vascular growth factors: CD31, CD34, CD105, ANGPT1, ANGPT2, and CDH5. Our results showed that blood vessels were absent in the scaffold grafted alone, while all the other systems appeared vascularized, a finding supported by the over-expression of CD31 and CDH5 mRNA. In conclusion, our data sustain the capability of hASC-CM to be used as a therapeutic cell-free approach for damaged tissue regeneration. |
