Tissue Organization
Before a tissue can be developed in vitro, first we must understand how tissues are organized. The basic tenet here is that:
“all tissues are comprised of
several levels of structural hierarchy”
These structural levels exist from the macroscopic level (centimeter range) all the way down the molecular level (nanometer range)
There can be as many as 7-10 distinct levels of structural organization in some tissues or organs

Hurdles of Tissue Engineering
Most successes have been limited to a vascular or thin tissues (< 200 mm)
• Skin, cartilage, cornea
The most important problems associated with thicker or more complex tissues include: The need for multiple cell types The need for the tissue to become vascularized
Vascularization of the 3-D construct is a critical and unresolved problem

Reconstructive surgery: In 1970s the development of microsurgery allowed distant tissue transfer and reimplantation (vascular grafts and prosthetic articulation).
Tissue engineering does open radically new chapter in reconstructive medicine, for it is now deemed possible to reconstruct in the laboratory human living tissues and organs for in vivo, ex vivo, and even in vitro applications.
Tissue engineering is remarkably multidisciplinary, bringing together cell and molecular biologists, biochemists , engineers, pharmacologists, physicians, ..etc.

To obtain grafts for in vivo applications. The biological and mechanical functions are of utmost importance.
Biological functions: cell therapy
Mechanical functions: tissue templates.
The Aim of Tissue Engineering
![Page 12: Development of Biomimic Neuronal Multielectrode Arrayweb.nchu.edu.tw/pweb/users/splin/lesson/8880.pdf · Syllabus of Tissue Engineering Date Wk Topic 101/02/21 1 Introduction of Tissue](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022021420/5aa7cd2c7f8b9a6d5a8cd062/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Tissue-engineered substitutes are three-dimensional reconstructions that can be implanted into the human body, leading to rapid host implantation and acceptance.
The substitutes must have at least minimal biological and mechanical functions for such reparative role.
![Page 13: Development of Biomimic Neuronal Multielectrode Arrayweb.nchu.edu.tw/pweb/users/splin/lesson/8880.pdf · Syllabus of Tissue Engineering Date Wk Topic 101/02/21 1 Introduction of Tissue](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022021420/5aa7cd2c7f8b9a6d5a8cd062/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Historical Perspective
Tissue engineering has been considered one of the most influential new technologies for the future biomedicine.
The development of tissue engineering can be seen as heaving two phases:
1. The phase of exponential development and potential application. Is still continuing to evolve.
2. The phase brought about a flury of discoveries about stem cells.
Stem cells: S.c. had been known for many years.
Embrionic S.c.
Adult S.c. were found to be much more ubiquitous and to have more lineage plasticity than previously thought. (since 1998)
Embryonic stem cells, which are isolated from the inner cell mass of blastocysts
Adult stem cells, which are found in various tissues.
![Page 14: Development of Biomimic Neuronal Multielectrode Arrayweb.nchu.edu.tw/pweb/users/splin/lesson/8880.pdf · Syllabus of Tissue Engineering Date Wk Topic 101/02/21 1 Introduction of Tissue](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022021420/5aa7cd2c7f8b9a6d5a8cd062/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Potency Definitions Potency specifies the differentiation potential (the potential to differentiate into
different cell types) of the stem cell.
Totipotent (a.k.a omnipotent) stem cells can differentiate into embryonic and extraembryonic cell types. Such cells can construct a complete, viable organism. These cells are produced from the fusion of an egg and sperm cell. Cells produced by the first few divisions of the fertilized egg are also totipotent.
Pluripotent stem cells are the descendants of totipotent cells and can differentiate into nearly all cells, i.e. cells derived from any of the three germ layers.
Multipotent stem cells can differentiate into a number of cells, but only those of a closely related family of cells.
Oligopotent stem cells can differentiate into only a few cells, such as lymphoid or myeloid stem cells.
Unipotent cells can produce only one cell type, their own, but have the property of self-renewal, which distinguishes them from non-stem cells (e.g., muscle stem cells).

Functional Subunits
The smallest level at which the basic function of the tissue/organ is provided is called a “functional subunit”:
functional subunits are in the order of ~100 mm (whereas cells are of the order of ~10 mm)
each organ is comprised between 10-100 x 106 functional subunits
each functional subunit is comprised of a mixture of different cell types and extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules
Separation of the functional subunit into individual cohorts (i.e. cells and ECM) leads to a loss of tissue function. For this reason, this is the scale that tissue-engineering tries to reconstruct.
So, how can the functional subunit be built in vitro?
By S. Waldman/B. Amsden
![Page 20: Development of Biomimic Neuronal Multielectrode Arrayweb.nchu.edu.tw/pweb/users/splin/lesson/8880.pdf · Syllabus of Tissue Engineering Date Wk Topic 101/02/21 1 Introduction of Tissue](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022021420/5aa7cd2c7f8b9a6d5a8cd062/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Microenvironment
Since cells are entirely responsible for synthesizing tissue constituents and assembly of the functional subunit, much attention is paid to the microenvironment surrounding the cell(s) of interest.
The microenvironment, which can be very different depending on the type of cell, is typically characterized by the following:
Cellularity
Cellular Communications
Local Chemical Environment
Local Geometry
By S. Waldman/B. Amsden
![Page 21: Development of Biomimic Neuronal Multielectrode Arrayweb.nchu.edu.tw/pweb/users/splin/lesson/8880.pdf · Syllabus of Tissue Engineering Date Wk Topic 101/02/21 1 Introduction of Tissue](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022021420/5aa7cd2c7f8b9a6d5a8cd062/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Cellularity
Packing Density:
maximum theoretical packing density is about 1 x 109 cells/cm3
cell densities in tissues typically vary between 10 – 500 x 106 cells/cm3
relates to about 100 - 500 cells per microenvironment (100 mm)3
extreme cases, such as cartilage which has ~ 1 cell per (100 mm)3
thus its microenvironment is essentially 1 cell plus associated ECM
Cellular Communication:
Cells communicate in three principal ways:
secretion of soluble signals
cell-to-cell contact
cell-ECM interactions
Cellular communication can affect all “cellular fate” processes (migration, replication, differentiation, apoptosis) and the method(s) of communication used depends, in part, on how the cells are packed within the tissue.

Cellular Communications
Soluble Signals:
includes small proteins such as growth factors and cytokines (15-20 kDa), steroids, hormones
bind to membrane receptors usually with high affinity (low binding constants: 10-100 pM)
By S. Waldman/B. Amsden
![Page 23: Development of Biomimic Neuronal Multielectrode Arrayweb.nchu.edu.tw/pweb/users/splin/lesson/8880.pdf · Syllabus of Tissue Engineering Date Wk Topic 101/02/21 1 Introduction of Tissue](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022021420/5aa7cd2c7f8b9a6d5a8cd062/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Cellular Communications
Cell-to-Cell Contact:
some membrane receptors are adhesive molecules
adherent junctions and desmosomes
other serve to create junctions between adjacent cells allowing for direct cytoplasmic communication
gap junctions
1.5-2 nm diameter and only allow transport of small molecules ~1 kDa
By S. Waldman/B. Amsden

Cellular Communications
Cell-ECM Interactions:
ECM is multifunctional and also provides a substrate that cells can communicate through
since cells synthesize the ECM, they can modify the ECM to elicit specific cellular responses
cells possess several specialized receptors that allow for cell-ECM interactions
integrins, CD44, etc.
also a mechanism by with cells respond to external stimuli (“mechanical transducers”)

Chemical Environment
Oxygenation:
mammalian cells do not consume oxygen rapidly but uptake is large in comparison to the amount in blood or culture media
air-saturated aqueous media (37°C) contains only 21 mM O2
mammalian cells consume O2 at rate of 0.05-0.5 mmol/106 cells/hour
cell cultures for tissue engineering have relatively large cell densities (106 cells/mL) which results in total O2 depletion in 0.4-4 hours!
concentration must be within a specific range since oxygenation affects a variety of physiological functions
low O2 concentration can retard growth
high O2 concentration can be inhibitory or toxic (oxidative stress)
Metabolism:
typically, there are no transport limitations for major nutrients although uptake rate depends on their local concentrations
glucose uptake rate: 0.1-0.5 mmol/106 cells/hour
amino acid uptake rate: 1.0-5.0 nmol/106 cells/hour

Local Geometry
Geometry of the microenvironment depends on the individual tissue:
needs to be re-created for proper tissue growth
two-dimensional layers or sheets
three-dimensional arrangements
transport issues
local geometry also affects how cells interact with the ECM
remember, the ECM serves as a substrate for cellular communications
For these reasons, considerable effort has been geared at creating artificial ECM’s (aka scaffolds) to provide the appropriate substrate to guide in vitro tissue growth and development.

Cell Sources
Since the ultimate goal of tissue engineering is to develop replacement tissue (or organs) for individuals, the use of autologous cells would avoid any potential immunological complications.
Various classifications of cells used in tissue engineering applications:
primary cells
differentiated cells harvested from the patient (tissue biopsy)
low cellular yield (can only harvest so much)
potential age-related problems
passaged cells
serial expansion of primary cells (can increase population by 100-1000X)
tendency to either lose potency or de-differentiate with too many passages
stem cells
undifferentiated cells
self-renewal capability (unlimited?)
can differentiate into functional cell types
very rare

Stem Cells
Stem cells naturally exist in essentially all tissues (especially those that rapidly proliferate or remodel) and are present in the circulation.
There are two predominant lineages of stem cells:
mesenchymal
give rise to connective tissues (bone, cartilage, etc.)
although found in some tissues, typically isolated from bone marrow
hematopoietic
give rise to blood cells and lymphocytes
isolated from bone marrow, blood (umbilical cord)
Stem cells are rare; bone marrow typically has:
a single mesenchymal stem cell for every 1,000,000 myeloid cells
a single hematopoietic stem cell for every 100,000 myeloid cells

Stem Cells Identification
Stem cells are identified by the expression of specific antigens on their surface, for example:
hematopoietic stem cells express CD45, CD34 and CD14
mesenchymal stem cells do not express these markers (i.e. CD34-, CD45-, CD14-)
Selective separation of positive marker cells (in a mixed cell population) can be done by several techniques (e.g. immunomagnetic methods).
Characterization and Commitment
The most common approach to characterize multi-lineage- or single lineage-committed stem cells is through colony-forming assays:
cells grown under culture conditions that promote their proliferation and differentiation
the clonal progeny of a single progenitor cell stay together to form a new colony of mature cells
By S. Waldman/B. Amsden
colony-forming assays are used to:
characterize stem cells from different sources (e.g. BM, umbilical cord blood)
investigate responses to growth factors, cytokines and other drugs
expansion, commitment, etc.
quality control for collection, processing and cryopreservation
