Poole-Warren1 and Rylie A. Green1 1 University of NSW, Graduate School of Biomedical Engineering, Australia 2 University of Otago, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery & Musculoskeletal Medicine, New Zealand Tissue engineered electrodes aim to deliver a living cellular layer to interface bionic devices with target tissue by establishing synaptic connections between the electrode and target nerve. A significant challenge in developing this technology is to engineer a hydrogel carrier that can support growth and function of complex neuronal networks. To provide an appropriate neural cell niche, it is desirable to have not only neural cells, but supporting glia within the hydrogel carrier. It has been hypothesized that a hydrogel tailored to support glial cell survival and function will be able to support neuronal development. Poly(vinyl alcohol) functionalized with tyramine (PVA-Tyr) is a hydrogel system that supports covalent incorporation of non-modified tyrosine rich proteins, mimicking the biological environment and enabling 3D cell encapsulation[1]. PVA-Tyr has been co-polymerized with gelatin and sericin and the resulting gel supported glial cell growth. However, development of an appropriate system for use at the neural interface requires tailoring of the hydrogel properties such that (i) the mechanical stiffness is similar to that of neural tissues, and (ii) the hydrogel degradation rate is matched to cell maturation and development of extracellular matrix (ECM). Since physical and mechanical properties of PVA relate to the percent polymer[2], the aim of this research was to investigate the impact of varying the hydrogel macromer percentage on the mechanical stiffness and physical degradation of PVA-Tyr/sericin/gelatin (PVA-T/S/G), and the subsequent impact on glial cell survival and development. Two variants of PVA-T/S/G, 10 wt% and 5 wt%, were developed and used to encapsulate peripheral glia (Schwann cells). PVA-Tyr (8 or 3 wt%) hydrogel was crosslinked with gelatin (1 wt%) and sericin (1 wt%) as previously described[1]. Schwann cells (SC, SCL4.1/F7) were encapsulated at 107 cells/mL. Cellular viability was tracked by live/dead staining. Hydrogel stiffness was measured by compression tests (50 N load cell, 0.5 mm/min, 5 - 15% strain). Cells were immunostained for S100 (mature SC marker), laminin and collagen-IV (ECM deposition) and bisbenzimide (nuclei). Hydrogel degradation was tracked to the point of reverse gelation. All the tests were performed at 0, 1, 5 and 10 days. Cells remained viable at all the time points. Compression tests showed that PVA-T/S/G at 10 wt% had a mean compressive modulus of 41.5 kPa at Day 0, which reduced to 0.5 kPa by Day 10. The corresponding compressive modulus for the 5 wt% hydrogel was 6.1 kPa at Day 0 and 0.6 kPa at Day 10. SCs interact preferably with substrates having a stiffness from 1 - 10 kPa[3], where they adopt bipolar morphologies that support nerve guidance and repair in vivo[4]. In both systems at 5 days post-encapsulation bipolar morphologies were evident (see Figure 1), but were more prolific in the 5 wt% hydrogels. Presence of laminin and collagen-IV was also observed by immunostaining. Expression of these molecules is an indication of mature and functional SCs[5]. Both systems were shown to be completely degraded at 15 ± 3 days. While these different hydrogels provide similar support to SCs the ability to vary the hydrogel stiffness is expected to be key to the development of a complex living electrode with both glia and neuronal cell types, as previously proposed[6]. Figure 1. SC embedded in 10% (left) and 5%(right) PVA-T/S/G hydrogel at 5 days in culture. Nuclei (blue). Collagen-IV (green). Scale bar = 50 μm SCs were able to adopt bipolar morphologies and express ECM required for neuronal development with 5 and 10 wt% hydrogels. These outcomes suggest that the PVA-T/S/G hydrogels provide physical and biochemical support for SC survival and maturation. Future studies will assess the capacity of SCs to support neuronal survival within PVA-T/S/G.
