Abstract:

Diverses stratégies de fonctionnalisation de surface visent à améliorer la biocompatibilité des matériaux pour les dispositifs implantables, notamment en ingénierie tissulaire. Par exemple, le polydiméthylsiloxane (PDMS), bien qu’utilisé dans de nombreux domaines, présente des propriétés de surface défavorables à l’adhérence cellulaire. La fonctionnalisation par des protéines de la matrice extracellulaire (MEC) ou des peptides synthétiques dérivés de celles-ci permet d’améliorer l'adhérence des cellules. Bien que ces approches offrent certaines solutions, des défis tels que le coût de producti

Abstract:

Glomerular filtration is a vital physiological process removing waste products from the circulation and this process occurs across the glomerular filtration barrier (GFB). The cells and extracellular matrix (ECM), which form this barrier, are exposed to forces during ultrafiltration and special adaptation is required to withstand these forces. Dysfunction in cellular adhesion machinery or ECM assembly within the GFB causes loss of selective glomerular filtration, however, the mechanisms governing these processes are poorly understood. To this end we sought to characterise the glomerular ECM an

Abstract:

Stem cell therapies have shown promising capabilities in regaining the functionality of scar tissue following a myocardial infarction. Biological sutures composed of fibrin have been shown to more effectively deliver human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) to the heart when compared to traditional cell delivery mechanisms. While the biological sutures do show promise, improvements can be made. To enhance the fibrin sutures, we propose to incorporate native cardiac extracellular matrix (ECM) into the fibrin microthreads to produce a more in vivo-like environment.

Abstract:

The relations between cells and extracellular matrix seem to orchestrate tissue organization by regulating cell functions during fetal development and throughout normal adult life. Thus, focusing on the innate ability of the native ECM to better modulate cell behavior, the coating of synthetic biomaterials with cell-derived decellularized extracellular matrices is a promising approach to confer bioactivity to inert materials and direct the fate of host or transplanted cells in tissue engineering applications. This study aims to better understand ECM influence on human bone marrow stem cells an

Abstract:

Remodeling after myocardial infarction (MI) associates with left ventricular (LV) dilation, decreased cardiac function and increased mortality. The dynamic synthesis and breakdown of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins play a significant role in myocardial remodeling post-MI. Expression of osteopontin (OPN) increases in the heart post-MI. Evidence has been provided that lack of OPN induces LV dilation which associates with decreased collagen synthesis and deposition. Inhibition of matrix metalloproteinases, key players in ECM remodeling process post-MI, increased ECM deposition (fibrosis) and

Abstract:

Mechanical cues coming from the extracellular matrix (ECM) are key factors in the control of tissue homeostasis in physiology and disease. Cells can sense these physical cues and measure external resisting forces by adjusting their actomyosin cytoskeleton, which in turn regulates intracellular signalling pathways to orchestrate a proper cell response. Thus, ECM stiffness is important for many biological aspects such as proliferation, differentiation and migration. Very little is known instead, about its impact on cellular metabolism, and the molecular players involved in this process are large

Crucial to a cell’s ability to migrate is the organization of its plasma membrane and associated proteins in a polarized manner to interact with and respond to its surrounding environment.

Tumor cells use F-actin-rich invadopodia to degrade ECM and invade tissues; related structures, termed podosomes, are sites of dynamic ECM interaction and degradation.

Abstract:

Este trabalho investigou, pela primeira vez, a influência do CH na modulação do metabolismo e proliferação de fibroblastos dérmicos humanos (FDHs) derivados de áreas fotoprotegida e fotoexposta, cultivados em modelo de monocamada. Além disto, foram investigados os efeitos da suplementação com CH na secreção de colágeno tipo I, em modelo de cultura 3D de equivalente dérmico, derivado de matriz produzida exclusivamente por FDHs. O tratamento com CH não influenciou a proliferação celular dos fibroblastos derivados de ambas as áreas, porém modulou expressivamente o metabolismo dos FDHs cultivados

Abstract:

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Congenital Hepatic Fibrosis (CHF) is caused by mutations in PKHD1, a gene encoding for fibrocystin, a protein of unknown function, expressed in cholangiocyte cilia and centromers. In CHF, biliary dysgenesis is accompanied by severe progressive portal fibrosis and portal hypertension. The mechanisms responsible for portal fibrosis in CHF are unclear. The αvβ6 integrin mediates local activation of TGFβ1 and is expressed by reactive cholangiocytes during cholestasis. To understand the mechanisms of fibrosis in CHF we studied the expression of αvβ6 integrin and its regulation

Abstract:

Sprouting endothelial cells (ECs) use soluble and insoluble cues to guide migration and expand the existing vascular network to meet changing trophic needs of the tissue during angiogenesis. A noninvasive and non-destructive nonlinear optical microscopy (NLOM) technique was used to optically image endothelial sprouting morphogenesis in three dimensional (3D) collagen matrices with simultaneously captured signals from collagen fibers and endothelial cells using second harmonic generation (SHG) and two-photon excited fluorescence (TPF), respectively. Sprout advancement and lumen expansion compa

Abstract:

The extracellular matrix (ECM) provides mechanical and biochemical support to tissues and cells. It is crucial for cell attachment, differentiation, and migration, as well as for ailment-associated processes such as angiogenesis, metastases and cancer development. An approach to study these phenomena is through emulation of the ECM by synthetic gels constructed of natural polymers, such as collagen and fibronectin, or simple but tunable materials such as poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) crosslinked with short peptide sequences susceptible to digestion by metalloproteases and cell-binding domains.

A specific aim of my thesis was the elucidation of signaling pathways involved in mechanical stimulation and geometric alterations of the extracellular matrix (ECM). A pair of questions addressed herein was (a) Does mechanical stimulation modulate translational regulation through the phosphorylation of eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF2)? (b) Do geometric alterations affect the phosphorylation patterns of mitogen

Abstract:

It would be a great advantage in reconstructive surgery to have an off-the-shelf biomaterial to promote regeneration and volume augmentation following soft tissue damage. With this long-term objective, human adipose tissue (fat) is an abundant and accessible source of extracellular matrix (ECM) for bioscaffold fabrication. The main goal of the current research project was to optimize the established 5-day detergent-free decellularization protocol developed by the Flynn group, by shortening it to a maximum of 3 days, while achieving comparable results in terms of cell and lipid extraction with

Abstract:

Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), a member of the serine protease inhibitor (serpin) superfamily of proteins, circulates in blood in a complex with vitronectin (VN). These two proteins are also found localized together in the extracellular matrix in many different pathophysiological conditions. Both of these proteins are involved with a number of physiologically important processes. Though PAI-1 is a well-known inhibitor of serine proteases, more emphasis is now geared towards its protease independent functions. VN, on the other hand, is a binding protein that exists in the circulatio
