摘要

The synthesis and assembly of mature, organized elastic fibers remains a limitation to the clinical use of many engineered tissue replacements. There is a critical need for a more in-depth understanding of elastogenesis regulation for the advancement of methods to induce and guide production of elastic matrix structures in engineered tissues that meet the structural and functional requirements of native tissue. The dramatic increase in elastic fibers through normal pregnancy has led us to explore the potential role of mechanical stretch in combination with pregnancy levels of the steroid hormones 17β-estradiol and progesterone on elastic fiber production by human uterine myometrial smooth muscle cells in a three-dimensional (3D) culture model. Opposed to a single strain regimen, we sought to better understand how the amplitude and frequency parameters of cyclic strain influence elastic fiber production in these myometrial tissue constructs (MTC). Mechanical stretch was applied to MTC at a range of strain amplitudes (5%, 10%, and 15% at 0.5 Hz frequency) and frequencies (0.1 Hz, 0.5 Hz, 1 Hz, and constant 0 Hz at 10% amplitude), with and without pregnancy-level hormones, for 6 days. MTC were assessed for cell proliferation, matrix elastin protein content, and expression of the main elastic fiber genes, tropoelastin (ELN) and fibrillin-1 (FBN1). Significant increases in elastin protein and ELN and FBN1 mRNA were produced from samples subjected to a 0.5 Hz, 10% strain regimen, as well as samples stretched at higher amplitude (15%, 0.5 Hz) and higher frequency (1 Hz, 10%); however, no significant effects because of third-trimester mimetic hormone treatment were determined. These results establish that a minimum level of strain is required to stimulate the synthesis of elastic fiber components in our culture model and show this response can be similarly enhanced by increasing either the amplitude or frequency parameter of applied strain. Further, our results demonstrate strain alone is sufficient to stimulate elastic fiber production and suggest hormones may not be a significant factor in regulating elastin synthesis. This 3D culture model will provide a useful tool to further investigate mechanisms underlying pregnancy-induced
