Effect of cell-extracellular matrix interaction on myogenic characteristics and artificial skeletal muscle tissue.
Journal of Bioscience and Bioengineering(2020)
摘要
Although various types of artificial skeletal muscle tissue have been reported, the contractile forces generated by tissue-engineered artificial skeletal muscles remain to be improved for biological model and clinical applications. In this study, we investigated the effects of extracellular matrix (ECM) and supplementation of a small molecule, which has been reported to enhance α7β1 integrin expression (SU9516), on cell migration speed, cell fusion rate, myoblast (mouse C2C12 cells) differentiation and contractile force generation of tissue-engineered artificial skeletal muscles. When cells were cultured on varying ECM coated-surfaces, we observed significant enhancement in the migration speed, while the myotube formation (differentiation ratio) decreased in all except for cells cultured on Matrigel coated-surfaces. In contrast, SU9516 supplementation resulted in an increase in both the myotube width and differentiation ratio. Following combined culture with a Matrigel-coated surface and SU9516 supplementation, myotube width was further increased. Additionally, contractile forces produced by the tissue-engineered artificial skeletal muscles was augmented following combined culture. These findings indicate that regulation of the cell-ECM interaction is a promising approach to improve the function of tissue-engineered artificial skeletal muscles.
