Title Engineered three-dimensional cardiac tissues maturing in a rotating wall vessel bioreactor remodel diseased hearts in rats with myocardial infarction.
Journal Stem Cell Reports
Abstract A rotating wall vessel (RWV) bioreactor was constructed for growing massive functional cardiac constructs to recover the function of a distressed rat heart. Three-dimensional cardiac tissues were engineered by seeding human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes on poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) fiber sheets (3D-hiPSC-CTs) and cultured in the RWV bioreactor (RWV group) or under static conditions (control group). The tissues were transplanted into a myocardial infarction nude rat model, and cardiac performance was evaluated. In the RWV group, cell viability and contractile and electrical properties significantly improved, mature cardiomyocytes were observed, and mechanical stress-related mediators of mammalian target of rapamycin signaling were upregulated compared with those of the control. Four weeks post-transplantation, tissue survival and left ventricular ejection fraction significantly improved in the RWV group. Hence, dynamic culture in an RWV bioreactor could provide a superior culture environment for improved performance of 3D-hiPSC-CTs, providing a means for functional cardiomyogenesis in myocyte-loss heart failure.
