3D scaffolds co-seeded with human endothelial progenitor and mesenchymal stem cells: Evidence of prevascularisation within 7 days
Blood supply is a critical issue in most tissue engineering approaches for large defect healing. As vessel ingrowth from surrounding tissues is proven to be insufficient, current strategies are focusing on the neo-vascularisation process.In the present study, we developed an in vitro pre-vascularise...

Blood supply is a critical issue in most tissue engineering approaches for large defect healing. As vessel ingrowth from surrounding tissues is proven to be insufficient, current strategies are focusing on the neo-vascularisation process.In the present study, we developed an in vitro pre-vascularised construct using 3D polyurethane (PU) scaffolds, based on the association of human Endothelial Progenitor Cells (EPC, CD34+ and CD133+) with human Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSC). We showed the formation of luminal tubular structures in the co-seeded scaffolds as early as day 7 in culture. These tubular structures were proven positive for endothelial markers von Willebrand Factor and PECAM-1. Of special significance in our constructs is the presence of CD146-positive cells, as a part of the neovasculature scaffolding. These cells, coming from the mesenchymal stem cells population (MSC or EPC-depleted MSC), also expressed other markers of pericyte cells (NG2 and αSMA) that are known to play a pivotal function in the stabilisation of newly formed pre-vascular networks.
