由细胞内行为或外源力引起的干细胞龛中存在的机械信号对干细胞的自我恢复和分化等基本功能具有重要影响.然而,关于具有分子机械运动产生的内在机械信号的人工细胞外基质鲜有报道.在此,我们报道了含光诱导片段定向滑动的机械动态水凝胶的合成及其作为人工细胞外基质在调节胚胎干细胞(ESC)分化中的功能.通过引入光笼蔽的半胱氨酸残基调控亲疏水交替多肽的自组装制备机械动态水凝胶.光笼蔽多肽组装体在光照射下转化为热力学非平衡的非笼蔽多肽双分子层,其进一步发生热力学有利的疏水性塌陷转变诱导的片段定向滑动.在机械动态水凝胶上培养鼠胚胎干细胞,该片段定向滑动诱导干细胞向外胚层谱系定向分化.进一步揭示了机械动态水凝胶促进机械转导蛋白YAP进入细胞核,表明其用于ESCs定向分化的潜在机械转导机制.细胞定向分化结果表明了机械动态水凝胶作为潜在的生物材料,有望用于疾病治疗和组织再生. 相似文献

The development of extracellular matrix mimetics that imitate niche stem cell microenvironments and support cell growth for technological applications is intensely pursued. Specifically, mimetics are sought that can enact control over the self‐renewal and directed differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) for clinical use. Despite considerable progress in the field, a major impediment to the clinical translation of hPSCs is the difficulty and high cost of large‐scale cell production under xeno‐free culture conditions using current matrices. Here, a bioactive, recombinant, protein‐based polymer, termed ZTFn, is presented that closely mimics human plasma fibronectin and serves as an economical, xeno‐free, biodegradable, and functionally adaptable cell substrate. The ZTFn substrate supports with high performance the propagation and long‐term self‐renewal of human embryonic stem cells while preserving their pluripotency. The ZTFn polymer can, therefore, be proposed as an efficient and affordable replacement for fibronectin in clinical grade cell culturing. Further, it can be postulated that the ZT polymer has significant engineering potential for further orthogonal functionalization in complex cell applications. 相似文献

The in vitro differentiation of pluripotent stem cells partially recapitulates early in vivo embryonic development. More recently, embryonic development under the influence of microgravity has become a primary focus of space life sciences. In order to integrate the technique of pluripotent stem cell differentiation with simulated microgravity approaches, the 2-D clinostat compatible pipette-based method was experimentally investigated and adapted for investigating stem cell differentiation processes under simulated microgravity conditions. In order to keep residual accelerations as low as possible during clinorotation, while also guaranteeing enough material for further analysis, stem cells were exposed in 1-mL pipettes with a diameter of 3.5 mm. The differentiation of mouse and human pluripotent stem cells inside the pipettes resulted in the formation of embryoid bodies at normal gravity (1 g) after 24 h and 3 days. Differentiation of the mouse pluripotent stem cells on a 2-D pipette-clinostat for 3 days also resulted in the formation of embryoid bodies. Interestingly, the expression of myosin heavy chain was downregulated when cultivation was continued for an additional 7 days at normal gravity. This paper describes the techniques for culturing and differentiation of pluripotent stem cells and exposure to simulated microgravity during culturing or differentiation on a 2-D pipette clinostat. The implementation of these methodologies along with -omics technologies will contribute to understand the mechanisms regulating how microgravity influences early embryonic development. 相似文献

AbstractStem cells are known for their potential to repair damaged tissues. The adhesion, growth and differentiation of stem cells are likely controlled by the surrounding microenvironment which contains both chemical and physical cues. Physical cues in the microenvironment, for example, nanotopography, were shown to play important roles in stem cell fate decisions. Thus, controlling stem cell behavior by nanoscale topography has become an important issue in stem cell biology. Nanotechnology has emerged as a new exciting field and research from this field has greatly advanced. Nanotechnology allows the manipulation of sophisticated surfaces/scaffolds which can mimic the cellular environment for regulating cellular behaviors. Thus, we summarize recent studies on nanotechnology with applications to stem cell biology, including the regulation of stem cell adhesion, growth, differentiation, tracking and imaging. Understanding the interactions of nanomaterials with stem cells may provide the knowledge to apply to cell–scaffold combinations in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. 相似文献

The isolation of high-grade (i.e.high-pluripotency) human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) is a decisive factor for enhancing the purity of hiPSC populations or differentiation efficiency.A non-invasive imaging system that can monitor microRNA (miRNA) expression provides a useful tool to identify and analyze specific cell populations.However,previous studies on the monitoring/isolation of hiPSCs by miRNA expression have limited hiPSCs' differentiation system owing to long-term incubation with miRNA imaging probe-nanocarriers.Therefore,we focused on monitoring high-grade hiPSCs without influencing the pluripotency of hiPSCs.We reduced nanoparticle transfection time,because hiPSCs are prone to spontaneous differentiation under external factors during incubation.The fluorescent nanoswitch ("ON" with target miRNA),which can be applied for either imaging or sorting specific cells by fluorescence signals,contains an miRNA imaging probe (miP) and a PEI-PEG nanoparticle (miP-P).Consequently,this nanoswitch can sense various endogenous target miRNAs within 30 min in vitro,and demonstrates strong potential for not only imaging but also sorting pluripotent hiPSCs without affecting pluripotency.Moreover,miP-P-treated hiPSCs differentiate well into endothelial cells,indicating that miP-P does not alter the pluripotency of hiPSCs.We envisage that this miRNA imaging system could be valuable for identifying and sorting high-grade hiPSCs for improved practical applications. 相似文献

The epigenetic pathway of a cell as it differentiates from a stem cell state to a mature lineage-committed one has been historically understood in terms of Waddington''s landscape, consisting of hills and valleys. The smooth top and valley-strewn bottom of the hill represent their undifferentiated and differentiated states, respectively. Although mathematical ideas rooted in nonlinear dynamics and bifurcation theory have been used to quantify this picture, the importance of time delays arising from multistep chemical reactions or cellular shape transformations have been ignored so far. We argue that this feature is crucial in understanding cell differentiation and explore the role of time delay in a model of a single-gene regulatory circuit. We show that the interplay of time-dependent drive and delay introduces a new regime where the system shows sustained oscillations between the two admissible steady states. We interpret these results in the light of recent perplexing experiments on inducing the pluripotent state in mouse somatic cells. We also comment on how such an oscillatory state can provide a framework for understanding more general feedback circuits in cell development. 相似文献

Cellular microenvironments are generally sophisticated, but crucial for regulating the functions of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs). Despite tremendous effort in this field, the correlation between the environmental factors—especially the extracellular matrix and soluble cell factors—and the desired cellular functions remains largely unknown because of the lack of appropriate tools to recapitulate in vivo conditions and/or simultaneously evaluate the interplay of different environment factors. Here, a combinatorial platform is developed with integrated microfluidic channels and nanofibers, associated with a method of high‐content single‐cell analysis, to study the effects of environmental factors on stem cell phenotype. Particular attention is paid to the dependence of hPSC short‐term self‐renewal on the density and composition of extracellular matrices and initial cell seeding densities. Thus, this combinatorial approach provides insights into the underlying chemical and physical mechanisms that govern stem cell fate decisions. 相似文献
