RESUMO

Various nanopatterning techniques have been developed to improve cell proliferation and differentiation efficiency. As we previously reported, nanopillars and pores are able to sustain human pluripotent stem cells and differentiate pancreatic cells. From this, the nanoscale patterns would be effective environment for the co-culturing of epithelial and mesenchymal cell types. Interestingly, the nanopatterning selectively reduced the proliferative rate of mesenchymal cells while increasing the expression of adhesion protein in epithelial type cells. Additionally, co-cultured cells on the nanopatterning were not negatively affected in terms of cell function metabolic ability or cell survival. This is in contrast to conventional co-culturing methods such as ultraviolet or chemical treatments. The nanopatterning appears to be an effective environment for mesenchymal co-cultures with typically low proliferative rates cells such as astrocytes, neurons, melanocytes, and fibroblasts without using potentially damaging treatments.

RESUMO

Critical limb ischemia is one of the most common types of peripheral arterial disease. Preclinical development of ischemia therapeutics relies on the availability of a relevant and reproducible in vivo disease model. Thus, establishing appropriate animal disease models is essential for the development of new therapeutic strategies. Currently, the most commonly employed model of hindlimb ischemia is the surgical induction method with ligation of the femoral artery and its branches after skin incision. However, the efficiency of the method is highly variable depending on the availability of skilled technicians. In addition, after surgical procedures, animals can quickly and spontaneously recover from damage, limiting observations of the therapeutic effect of potential agents. The aim of this study was to develop a hindlimb ischemia mouse model with similarities to human ischemic disease. To that end, a photochemical reaction was used to induce thrombosis in the hindlimb. After the photochemical reaction was induced by light irradiation, thrombotic plugs and adjacent red blood cell stasis were observed in hindlimb vessels in the light-irradiated zone. Additionally, the photochemically induced thrombosis maintained the ischemic condition and did not cause notable side effects in mice.
