Various synthetic and natural materials were already established for use of two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) in vitro neovascularization assays, however, they still cannot mimic the complex functions of the sum of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in native intact tissue. Currently, this issue is only addressed by artificial products such as Matrigelâ„¢, which comprises a complex mixture of ECM proteins, extracted from animal tumor tissue. Despite its outstanding bioactivity, the isolation from tumor tissue hinders its translation into clinical applications. Since nonhuman ECM proteins may cause immune reactions, as are frequently observed in clinical trials, human ECM proteins represent the best option when aiming for clinical applications. Here, we describe an effective method of isolating a human placenta substrate (hpS) that induces the spontaneous formation of an interconnected network of green fluorescence-labeled human umbilical vein endothelial cells (gfpHUVECs) in vitro. The substrate was biochemically characterized by using a combination of bicinchoninic acid (BCA) assay, DNA, and glycosaminoglycan (GAG) content assays, sodium dodecyl sulfate/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) analysis and Western blot, angiogenesis arrays, chromatographic thrombin detection, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-based amino acid quantification analysis, and assessment of antimicrobial properties. 2D in vitro cell culture experiments have been performed to determine the vasculogenic potential of hpS, which demonstrated that cell networks developed on hpS show a significantly higher degree of complexity (number of tubules/junctions; total/mean tube length) when compared with Matrigel. As 3D cell culture techniques represent a more accurate representation of the in vivo condition, the substrate was 3D solidified using various natural polymers. 3D in vitro vasculogenesis assays have been performed by seeding gfpHUVECs in an hpS-fibrinogen clot. In conclusion, hpS provides a potent human/material-based alternative to xenogenic-material-based biomaterials for vascularization strategies in tissue engineering.}, subject = {Tissue Engineering}, language = {en} } @article{RohringerHolnthonerHackletal., author = {Rohringer, Sabrina and Holnthoner, Wolfgang and Hackl, Matthias and Weihs, Anna and R{\"u}nzler, Dominik and Skalicky, Susanna and Karbiener, Michael and Scheideler, Marcel and Pr{\"o}ll, Johannes and Gabriel, Christian and Schweighofer, Bernhard and Gr{\"o}ger, Marion and Spittler, Andreas and Grillari, Johannes and Redl, Heinz}, title = {Molecular and cellular effects of in vitro shockwave treatment on lymphatic endothelial cells.}, series = {PLoS one}, journal = {PLoS one}, subject = {Shockwave}, language = {en} } @article{GollmannTepekoeylueGraberHirschetal., author = {Gollmann-Tepek{\"o}yl{\"u}, Can and Graber, Michael and Hirsch, Jakob and Mair, Sophia and Naschberger, Andreas and P{\"o}lzl, Leo and N{\"a}gele, Felix and Kirchmair, Elke and Degenhart, Gerald and Demetz, Egon and Hilbe, Richard and Chen, Hao-Yu and Engert, James C and B{\"o}hm, Anna and Franz, Nadja and Lobenwein, Daniela and Lener, Daniela and Fuchs, Christiane and Weihs, Anna and T{\"o}chterle, Sonja and Vogel, Georg F and Schweiger, Victor and Eder, Jonas and Pietschmann, Peter and Seifert, Markus and Kronenberg, Florian and Coassin, Stefan and Blumer, Michael and Hackl, Hubert and Meyer, Dirk and Feuchtner, Gudrun and Kirchmair, Rudolf and Troppmair, Jakob and Krane, Markus and Weiss, G{\"u}nther and Tsimikas, Sotirios and Thanassoulis, George and Grimm, Michael and Rupp, Bernhard and Huber, Lukas A and Zhang, Shen-Ying and Casanova, Jean-Laurent and Tancevski, Ivan and Holfeld, Johannes}, title = {Toll-Like Receptor 3 Mediates Aortic Stenosis Through a Conserved Mechanism of Calcification}, series = {Circulation}, volume = {147}, journal = {Circulation}, number = {20}, doi = {10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.122.063481}, pages = {1518 -- 1533}, subject = {Toll-like receptor 3}, language = {en} }
