RESUMEN

Development of respiratory tissue constructs is challenging due to the complex structure of native respiratory tissue and the unique biomechanical conditions induced by breathing. While studies have shown that the inclusion of biomechanical stimulus mimicking physiological conditions greatly benefits the development of engineered tissues, to our knowledge no studies investigating the influence of biomechanical stimulus on the development of respiratory tissue models produced through three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting have been reported. This paper presents a study on the utilization of a novel breath-mimicking ventilated incubator to impart biomechanical stimulus during the culture of 3D respiratory bioprinted constructs. Constructs were bioprinted using an alginate/collagen hydrogel containing human primary pulmonary fibroblasts with further seeding of human primary bronchial epithelial cells. Biomechanical stimulus was then applied via a novel ventilated incubator capable of mimicking the pressure and airflow conditions of multiple breathing conditions: standard incubation, shallow breathing, normal breathing, and heavy breathing, over a two-week time period. At time points between 1 and 14 days, constructs were characterized in terms of mechanical properties, cell proliferation, and morphology. The results illustrated that incubation conditions mimicking normal and heavy breathing led to greater and more continuous cell proliferation and further indicated a more physiologically relevant respiratory tissue model.
