The cell-derived extracellular matrix (ECM)-modified scaffolds have advantages of mimic tissue specificity and been thought to better mimic the native cellular microenvironment in vitro. ECM derived from cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) are considered as key elements that provide a natural cell growth microenvironment and change the fate of cardiomyocytes (CMs). Here, a new hybrid scaffold is designed based on silk fibroin (SF) scaffold and CFs-derived ECM. CFs were seeded on the SF scaffold for 10 days culturing and decellularized to produce CFs-derived ECM-coated SF scaffold. The results showed that the cell-derived ECM-modified silk fibroin scaffold material contained collagen, laminin, fibronectin and other ECM components with myocardial-like properties. Further to explore its effects on brown adipose stem cells (BASCs) differentiation into CMs. We found that the CF-derived ECM-coated scaffold also increased the expression of CM-specific proteins (e.g. cardiac troponin T and α-actinin) of BASCs. Notably, the β1-integrin-dependent transforming growth factor-β1 signaling pathway was also involved in the regulation of CF-derived ECM by promoting the differentiation of BASCs into CMs. Overall, these findings provide insights into the bionic manufacturing of engineered cardiac tissues (ECTs) and establish a theoretical basis for the construction of ECTs.Biodegradable magnesium (Mg) has shown great potential advantages over current bone fixation devices and vascular scaffold technologies; however, there are few reports on the immunomodulation of corrosive Mg products, the micron-sized Mg particles (MgMPs). Human monocytic leukemia cell line THP-1 was set as the in vitro cell model to estimate the immunomodulation of MgMPs on cell proliferation, apoptosis, polarization and inflammatory reaction. Our results indicated high-concentration of Mg2+ demoted the proliferation of the THP-1 cells and, especially, THP-1-derived macrophages, which was a potential factor that could affect cell function, but meanwhile, cell apoptosis was almost not affected by Mg2+. In particular, the inflammation regulatory effects of MgMPs were investigated. Macrophages exposed to Mg2+ exhibited down-regulated expressions of M1 subtype markers and secretions of pro-inflammatory cytokines, up-regulated expression of M2 subtype marker and secretion of anti-inflammatory cytokine. These results indicated Mg2+ could convert macrophages from M0 to M2 phenotype, and the bioeffects of MgMPs on human inflammatory cells were most likely due to the Mg2+-induced NF-κB activation reduction. Together, our results proved Mg2+ could be used as a new anti-inflammatory agent to suppress inflammation in clinical applications, which may provide new ideas for studying the immunomodulation of Mg-based implants on human immune system.Sequential administration and controlled release of different drugs are of vital importance for regulating cellular behaviors and tissue regeneration, which usually demands appropriate carriers like microspheres (MS) to control drugs releases. Electrospray has been proven an effective technique to prepare MS with uniform particle size and high drug-loading rate. In this study, we applied electrospray to simply and hierarchically fabricate sphere-in-sphere composite microspheres, with smaller poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) MS (∼8-10 μm in diameter) embedded in a larger chitosan MS (∼250-300 μm in diameter). The scanning electron microscopy images revealed highly uniform MS that can be accurately controlled by adjusting the nozzle diameter or voltage. Two kinds of model drugs, bovine serum albumin and chlorhexidine acetate, were encapsulated in the microspheres. The fluorescence-labeled rhodamine-fluoresceine isothiocyanate (Rho-FITC) and ultraviolet (UV) spectrophotometry results suggested that loaded drugs got excellent distribution in microspheres, as well as sustained, slow release in vitro. In addition, far-UV circular dichroism and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) results indicated original secondary structure and molecular weight of drugs after electrospraying. Generally speaking, our research proposed a modified hierarchically electrospraying technique to prepare sphere-in-sphere composite MS with two different drugs loaded, which could be applied in sequential, multi-modality therapy.Effective coverage and protection is a priority in wound treatment. Collagen and chitosan have been widely used for wound dressings due to their excellent biological activity and biocompatibility. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have a powerful antibacterial effect. In this study, a macromolecular and small-molecular collagen mixed solution, a macromolecular and small-molecular chitosan mixed solution were prepared, and a silver nanoparticle-loaded collagen-chitosan dressing (AgNP-CCD) has been proposed. First, the effects of a collagen-chitosan mixed solution on the proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells and the secretion of cytokines were evaluated. Then, the characteristics and antibacterial effects of the AgNP-CCD were tested, and the effects on wound healing and the influence of wound cytokine expression were investigated via a deep second-degree burn wound model. The results showed that at the proper proportion and concentration, the collagen-chitosan mixed solution effectively promoted cell proliferation and regulated the levels of growth factors (vascular endothelial growth factor [VEGF], epidermal growth factor [EGF], platelet-derived growth factor [PDGF], transforming growth factor [TGF-β1], basic fibroblastic growth factor [bFGF]) and inflammatory factors (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8). Moreover, AgNP solutions at lower concentrations exerted limited inhibitory effects on cell proliferation and had no effect on cytokine secretion. The AgNP-CCD demonstrated satisfactory morphological and physical properties as well as efficient antibacterial activities. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/peficitinb-asp015k-jnj-54781532.html An in vivo evaluation indicated that AgNP-CCD could accelerate the healing process of deep second-degree burn wounds and played an important role in the regulation of growth and inflammatory factors, including VEGF, EGFL-7, TGF-β1, bFGF, TNF-α and IL-1β. This AgNP-CCD exerted excellent biological effects on wound healing promotion and cytokine expression regulation.
