Collagen, a central component of the extracellular matrix (ECM), precisely regulates tissue mechanical properties and biological functions through hierarchical assembly, playing a vital role in maintaining homeostasis. However, the molecular mechanism of assembly remains poorly understood, limiting insights into tissue remodeling, aging, and ECM-related diseases. Here, we employ time-resolved cryo-electron microscopy to resolve two critical hierarchical intermediates in fibrillar collagen assembly, proposing the 3D collagen assembly pathway. We identify a metastable triple-helical conformation as the fundamental assembly unit, whose structural lability propagates through the assembly cascade, rendering the process sensitive to microenvironmental perturbations. Through hierarchical assembly, metastable intermediates achieve enhanced structural stability, culminating in the formation of stable collagen that retains its integrity under physiological conditions. In contrast, structural defects in intermediates lead to aberrant assembly and disruption of ECM integrity. Functional assays reveal that intermediates lacking D-band retain biological activity. Our findings redefine the fibrillar collagen assembly as a hierarchical, time-resolved cascade driven by metastable intermediates and propose the fundamental F-Z-F rules. The metastable triple helix provides a structural basis for hierarchical assembly and suggests a potential link between abnormal fibrillar collagen assembly and aging-related matrix dysfunction, offering valuable insights into collagen assembly and its role in aging diseases.
Objective: This study aims to systematically assess the therapeutic effects of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) kidney-tonifying methods on osteoporosis in HR+ breast cancer patients after endocrine therapy, and to explore their clinical application value. Methods: This systematic review and meta-analysis adhered to the PRISMA guidelines and aimed to evaluate the impact of TCM kidney-tonifying methods on osteoporosis in HR+ breast cancer patients after endocrine therapy. Literature searches were conducted through October 2024 in databases including CBM, CNKI, Wanfang Data, PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Central, VIP, and renowned TCM databases such as TCM Online. Randomized controlled trials reporting lumbar spine bone density, femoral neck bone density, osteocalcin levels, pain VAS scores, and drug safety were included. The Cochrane tool was used for quality assessment, and meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 and Stata software. Results: This meta-analysis included 25 studies, covering 1795 patients. The combined results showed significant improvements in lumbar spine bone density (SMD = 0.98, 95 % CI: 0.52-1.44, P < 0.0001), femoral neck bone density (SMD = 0.73, 95 % CI: 0.35-1.10, P = 0.0001), and osteocalcin levels (SMD =1.23, 95 % CI: 0.52-1.93, P = 0.0007) in patients treated with TCM kidney-tonifying methods compared to those in the control group. There was also a significant reduction in pain VAS scores (SMD =-1.14, 95 % CI:1.55 to-0.72, P < 0.00001). The safety data indicated no significant adverse reactions associated with the treatment. Conclusion: TCM kidney-tonifying methods can significantly improve osteoporosis symptoms post- endocrine therapy in HR+ breast cancer patients, enhance bone density, and effectively reduce pain, demonstrating good safety and potential clinical value. Future research should further validate these findings through large-scale, multi-center randomized controlled trials to optimize treatment strategies.
The purpose of this study is to achieve the quantitative detection of recombinant type III collagen (rh-COL-III) in dressings with complex matrix. First of all, the marker peptide (GEAGIPGVPGAK) of rhCOL-III was identified with HPLC-MS/MS. Then, a qualitative and quantitative method based on marker peptides was established and validated. In order to obtain higher sensitivity, a pretreatment method of liquid, gel, and ointment dressings was optimized. The reference material for quantification was combined using rhCOL-III and blank matrix of each dressing. The results indicated that the relative standard deviation (RSD) of the quantitative method was 2.77%, and the RSD of intraday and interday precision was 2.76% and 2.31%, respectively. The spiking recovery rate was between 80% and 90%. The optimal pretreatment method was Tris-HCl solvent replacement. The optimal trypsin concentration for the dressing solution was 20 μg in 500 μL. The method of preparing standard substances with a blank matrix can effectively eliminate the influence of the matrix effect on the quantitative results. The average spiking recovery rates of 50 μg/mL, 100 μg/mL, and 200 μg/mL in three different dressings ranged from 80% to 120%. The quantitative detection of limit (LOD) of rhCOL-III was 1 ng/mL, 2 ng/g, and 1 ng/g in liquid, ointment, and gel dressings.
Animal tissue-derived decellularized extrocellular matrix(dECM) materials have similar matrix structure to human tissue. Due to their good biocompatibility and tissue inducing potential, they are widely used in the field of tissue repair and reconstruction clinically. The special risks caused by such materials are a series of unexpected material-mediated reactions, such as pyrogen, immunogen and inflammation caused by potential adventitious agents, xenogeneic cells and their immunogen residues and reagent residues in decellularization processes, and are needed to be paid attention to. Here, the risk analysis, risk control and risk evaluation of animal tissue-derived dECM materials were reviewed. Some relevant assessment technologies, methods and standards that have been preliminarily established at present were mainly reviewed and discussed. Finally, this paper looks forward to a more systematic quality evaluation system that needs to be improved.
Wild type (WT) animals cannot be used to objectively assess the immunogenicity of animal tissue-derived biomaterials when used as recipients due to difference with human in α-Gal expression. The purpose of this study is to compare the differences of immunological responses between the GGTA1 gene-knockout (GTKO) rabbits and WT rabbits after implantation with animal tissue-derived biomaterials. The porcine-derived decellularized bone matrix (natural bone material, NBM) and fresh porcine cancellous bone (PCB) were implanted in GTKO rabbits and WT rabbits, respectively, and sham operation was used as control (Con). At 2- and 6-week post-implantation, the related immunological items including antibody levels, serum-mediated cell lysis, cytokines, lymphocyte subtypes, and histopathological changes were assessed. GTKO rabbits exhibited more sensitive immune responses than WT rabbits after PCB implantation, resulted from a significant increase of antibodies (except total antibodies) and cytokines levels, cell lysis ratios, CD4/CD8 proportions, and inflammatory cells infiltration. Immunological factors and inflammatory cells infiltrate in GTKO rabbits after NBM implantation were significantly lower than those in the PCB group. Among the three groups, the NBM group showed the highest contents of new bone formation elements. In conclusion, the GTKO rabbit is a more sensitive alternative model than WT rabbit for preclinical study of xenografts via in situ implantation. Studies on multiple gene-edited animals are also necessary for more comprehensively evaluating xenoimmunologen risks of animal tissue-derived biomaterials in the future. Additionally, the immunogenicity of NBM was remarkably decreased compared to PCB.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a promising non-invasive method to assess cartilage regeneration based on the quantitative relationship between MRI features and concentrations of the major components in the extracellular matrix (ECM). To this end, in vitro experiments are performed to investigate the relationship and reveal the underlying mechanism. A series of collagen (COL) and glycosaminoglycan (GAG) solutions at different concentrations are prepared, and T-1 and T-2 relaxation times are measured with or without a contrast agent (Gd-DTPA(2-)) by MRI. Fourier transform infrared spectrometry is also used to measure the contents of biomacromolecule-bound water and other water, allowing theoretical derivation of the relationship between biomacromolecules and the resulting T-2 values. It has been revealed that the MRI signal in the biomacromolecule aqueous systems is mainly influenced by the protons in hydrogens of biomacromolecule-bound water, which we divide into inner-bound water and outer-bound water. We have also found that COL results in higher sensitivity of bound water than GAG in T-2 mapping. Owing to the charge effect, GAG regulates the penetration of the contrast agent during dialysis and has a more significant effect on T-1 values than COL. Considering that COL and GAG are the most abundant biomacromolecules in the cartilage, this study is particularly useful for the real-time MRI-guided assessment of cartilage regeneration. A clinical case is reported as an in vivo demonstration, which is consistent with our in vitro results. The established quantitative relation plays a critical academic role in establishing an international standard ISO/TS24560-1:2022 'Clinical evaluation of regenerative knee articular cartilage using delayed gadolinium-enhanced MRI of cartilage (dGEMRIC) and T-2 mapping' drafted by us and approved by International Standard Organization.

The purpose of this study was to establish a collagen determination method based on an isotope-labeled collagen peptide as an internal reference via high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC–MS/MS), and using the established method to evaluate the degradation process of collagen-based implants in vivo. The specific peptide (GPAGPQGPR) of bovine type I collagen was identified with an Orbitrap mass spectrometer. Then, the quantification method based on the peptide detection with HPLC-MS/MS was established and validated, and then further used to analyze the degradation trend of the collagen sponge and acellular matrix (ACM) in vivo at 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, and 18 weeks after implantation. The results indicate that the relative standard deviation (RSD) of the detection precision and repeatability of the peptide-based HPLC-MS/MS quantification method were 3.55% and 0.63%, respectively. The limitations of quantification and detection were 2.05 × 10−3 μg/mL and 1.12 × 10−3 μg/mL, respectively. The collagen sponge and ACM were completely degraded at 10 weeks and 18 weeks, respectively. Conclusion: A specific peptide (GPAGPQGPR) of bovine type I collagen was identified with an Orbitrap mass spectrometer, and a standardized HPLC-MS/MS-based internal reference method for the quantification of bovine type I collagen was established. The method can be used for the analysis of the degradation of collagen-based implants in vivo.
Peripheral nerve injury (PNI) is a neurological disorder caused by trauma that is frequently induced by accidents, war, and surgical complications, which is of global significance. The severity of the injury determines the potential for lifelong disability in patients. Artificial nerve scaffolds have been investigated as a powerful tool for promoting optimal regeneration of nerve defects. Over the past few decades, bionic scaffolds have been successfully developed to provide guidance and biological cues to facilitate Schwann cell myelination and orientated axonal growth. Numerous assessment techniques have been employed to investigate the therapeutic efficacy of nerve scaffolds in promoting the growth of Schwann cells and axons upon the bioactivities of distinct scaffolds, which have encouraged a greater understanding of the biological mechanisms involved in peripheral nerve development and regeneration. However, it is still difficult to compare the results from different labs due to the diversity of protocols and the availability of innovative technologies when evaluating the effectiveness of novel artificial scaffolds. Meanwhile, due to the complicated process of peripheral nerve regeneration, several evaluation methods are usually combined in studies on peripheral nerve repair. Herein, we have provided an overview of the evaluation methods used to study the outcomes of scaffold-based therapies for PNI in experimental animal models and especially focus on Schwann cell functions and axonal growth within the regenerated nerve.
Recombinant collagen, as an alternative to natural collagen, has the potential to be widely used in biomaterials, biomedicine, etc. Diverse recombinant collagens and their variants can be industrially produced in a variety of expression systems, which lays a foundation for exploring and expanding the clinical application of recombinant collagens. We reviewed different expression systems for recombinant collagens, such as prokaryotic expression systems, yeast expression systems, as well as plant, insect, mammal, and human cell expression systems, and introduced the advantages, potential applications, and limitations of recombinant collagen. In particularly, we focused on the current progress in the recombinant collagen production, including recombinant expression system construction and hydroxylation strategies of recombinant collagen, and summarized the current biomedical applications of recombinant collagen.
Efficient and large-scale expansion of mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) has always been a formidable challenge to researchers in cell-based therapies and regenerative medicine. To reconcile major drawbacks of 2D planar culturing system, we innovatively developed an automated closed industrial scale cell production (ACISCP) platform based on GMP-grade microcarrier for culture of umbilical cord-mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (UCMSCs), in accordance with the criteria of stem cell bank. ACISCP system is a fully closed system, which employs different models of vivaSPIN bioreactors (CytoNiche Biotech, China) for scale-up cell culture and vivaPREP (CytoNiche Biotech, China) for automated cell harvesting and cell dosage preparation. To realize industrial scale expansion of UCMSCs, a three-stage expansion was conducted with 1 L, 5 and 15 L vivaSPIN bioreactors. Using 3D TableTrix® and ACISCP system, we inoculated 1.5 × 107 of UCMSCs into 1 L vivaSPIN bioreactor and finally scaled to two 15 L bioreactor. A final yield of 2.09 × 1010 cells with an overall expansion factor of 1975 within 13 days. The cells were harvested, concentrated, washed and prepared automatically with vivaPREP. The entire process was realized with ACISCP platform and was totally enclosed. Critical quality attributes (CQA) assessments and release tests of MSCs, including sterility, safety, purity, viability, identity, stability and potency were performed accordingly. The quality of cells harvested from 3D culture on the ACISCP and conventional 2D planar culture counterpart has no significant difference. This study provides a bioprocess engineering platform, harnessing GMP-grade 3D TableTrix® microcarriers and ACISCP to achieve industrial-scale manufacturing of clinical-grade hMSCs.
Abstract Background Previous studies have identified the carbohydrate epitope Galα1–3Galβ1–4GlcNAc-R (termed the α-galactosyl epitope), known as the α-Gal antigen as the primary xenoantigen recognized by the human immune system. The α-Gal antigen is regulated by galactosyltransferase (GGTA1), and α-Gal antigen-deficient mice have been widely used in xenoimmunological studies, as well as for the immunogenic risk evaluation of animal-derived medical devices. The objective of this study was to develop α-Gal antigen-deficient rabbits by GGTA1 gene editing with the CRISPR/Cas9 system. Results The mutation efficiency of GGTA1 gene-editing in rabbits was as high as 92.3% in F0 pups. Phenotype analysis showed that the α-Gal antigen expression in the major organs of F0 rabbits was decreased by more than 99.96% compared with that in wild-type (WT) rabbits, and the specific anti-Gal IgG and IgM antibody levels in F1 rabbits increased with increasing age, peaking at approximately 5 or 6 months. Further study showed that GGTA1 gene expression in F2-edited rabbits was dramatically reduced compared to that in WT rabbits. Conclusions α-Gal antigen-deficient rabbits were successfully generated by GGTA1 gene editing via the CRISPR/Cas9 system in this study. The feasibility of using these α-Gal antigen-deficient rabbits for the in situ implantation and residual immunogenic risk evaluation of animal tissue-derived medical devices was also preliminarily confirmed.

OBJECTIVE:In this study, α-Gal epitope-deficient (GGTA1 knockout (GTKO)) mice were used to assess the immunological risks of xenogeneic dural patch by comparing with raw material.METHODS:The xenogeneic dural patch (T2) was prepared from bovine pericardium (T1, raw material) through decellularization and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) coating. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to characterize the collagen fibers and surface microstructural changes in the T1 and T2 samples. The remnant α-Gal epitopes and DNA of implants were detected by standardized method. T1 and T2 were implanted subcutaneously into GTKO mice for 4 and 12 weeks, respectively, and the negative control group (Con) was only performed sham operation. The total serum antibody, anti-Gal antibody, and splenic lymphocyte subtypes were analyzed by ELISA or flow cytometry, and histological analysis of implant-tissue was performed by H&E and Masson stain.RESULTS:TEM and Sirius red staining showed that the collagen fibers in the dural patch were closely arranged, and SEM showed that a loose three-dimensional structure was successfully constructed on the surface of the dural patch after CMCS coating. The remnant DNA in T2 was 24.64 ± 8.73 ng/mg (dry weight), and clearance of α-Gal epitope was up to 99.83% compared to T1. The significant increases in serum total IgM, anti-Gal IgG, and anti-Gal IgM at 4 weeks and the significant changes in anti-Gal IgG and spleen lymphocyte at 12 weeks were observed in the T1 group, but no significant change was observed in the T2 group, compared to the control group. Histological semiquantitative analysis showed severe cell and tissue responses at 4 weeks and a moderate response at 12 weeks in the T1 group, while a moderate response at 4 weeks and a slight response at 12 weeks in the T2 group.CONCLUSIONS:The results demonstrated that the xenogeneic dural patch has a lower and acceptable immunological risk compared to the raw material and control, respectively. On the other hand, it was suggested that GTKO mice are useful experimental model for immunological risk assessment of animal tissue-derived biomaterials.

With the development of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, it is much desired to establish bioimaging techniques to monitor the real-time regeneration efficacy in vivo in a non-invasive way. Herein, we tried magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to evaluate knee cartilage regeneration after implanting a biomaterial scaffold seeded with chondrocytes, namely, matrix-induced autologous chondrocyte implantation (MACI). After summary of the T2 mapping and the T1-related delayed gadolinium-enhanced MRI imaging of cartilage (dGEMRIC) in vitro and in vivo in the literature, these two MRI techniques were tried clinically. In this study, 18 patients were followed up for 1year. It was found that there was a significant difference between the regeneration site and the neighboring normal site (control), and the difference gradually diminished with regeneration time up to 1 year according to both the quantitative T1 and T2 MRI methods. We further established the correlation between the quantitative evaluation of MRI and the clinical Lysholm scores for the first time. Hence, the MRI technique was confirmed to be a feasible semi-quantitative yet non-invasive way to evaluate the in vivo regeneration of knee articular cartilage.
