Transcriptomic Changes toward Osteogenic Differentiation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells on 3D-Printed GelMA/CNC Hydrogel under Pulsatile Pressure Environment

Keya Ganguly et al.

Summary: This study investigates the differentiation of human bone-marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) into early osteoblasts on a remarkably soft 3D hydrogel. Pulsatile pressure stimulation (PPS) of 5-20 kPa for 7 days stimulates cellular processes such as mechanotransduction, cytoskeletal distribution, calcium homeostasis, and osteogenic marker gene expression. The involvement of Piezo 1 in mechanotransduction is identified as the main ion channel. RNA-sequencing results reveal differential gene expression related to osteogenesis, bone mineralization, ion channel activity, and focal adhesion.

Summary: Molecular engineering using synthetic mimics of native matrix molecules can modulate the mechanical properties of cellular microenvironment and influence cell mechanobiology. This study demonstrated the use of biomimetic proteoglycans (BPGs) to engineer the micromechanics of the pericellular matrix (PCM) in cartilage, leading to enhanced cellular mechanotransduction. The interactions between BPGs and the native PCM were facilitated by the biomimetic ultrastructure of BPGs, and showed potential for improving tissue regeneration and disease modification in various cell types.
