#METABOLOMICS WORKBENCH dbispo_20220406_041746 DATATRACK_ID:3173 STUDY_ID:ST002142 ANALYSIS_ID:AN003507 PROJECT_ID:PR001357 VERSION 1 CREATED_ON April 7, 2022, 3:30 am #PROJECT PR:PROJECT_TITLE A Metabolomics-guided Bioreactor for Improved Engineered Bone Implants PR:PROJECT_TITLE (BioImplant) PR:PROJECT_TYPE NMR-based untargeted metabolomics PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY In an “omic” era, metabolomics offers exquisite insight into the complex PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY metabolic network of living organisms and their adaptation mechanisms towards PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY disease, therapy and environment. Metabolic markers (sets of metabolites) are PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY emerging as new means of diagnostics, personalized follow-up and prediction of PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY patient health status. Here, metabolomics is used for the first time to guide PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY the development of a stem cell (SC) bioreactor to produce improved quality bone PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY tissue for implantation. 3D porous scaffolds will be produced using PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY biodegradable polymer poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), both bare and collagen-coated PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY to improve cell adhesion. These scaffolds will be 3D-printed with controlled PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY architectures (both internally and externally), namely with struts alignment of PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY 90o, with and without offset, expected to trigger distinct biological behaviors, PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY particularly under mechanical cues. Scaffolds will be tested in a bioreactor for PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY growth and differentiation of human mesenchymal SCs (hMSCs) into osteogenic PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY lineage. hMSCs obtained from adipose tissue or bone marrow will be compared, as PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY they have shown secretome differences and possible different potentials for PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY osteogenic differentiation. The bioreactor will allow the application of PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY controlled compression, to help mimic bone physiological conditions, and PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY scaffold piezoelectricity will be studied in the same context. Scaffolds and PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY physical cues will be tested in vitro (in osteogenic media) and monitored by PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY biological measurements (proliferation, viability, differentiation indicators) PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY and, for the first time, by cell metabolomics to identify the impact of each PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY variable (scaffold composition, morphology, piezoelectricity and compression) on PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY hMSC metabolism and define metabolic markers of hMSC function. Untargeted PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) metabolomics of cell extracts will identify PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY dynamic metabolic cellular profiles associated to i) hMSC self-renewal and PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY differentiation mechanisms, and their adaptations to ii) scaffold PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY characteristics and iii) physical cues (compression and/or piezoelectricity). PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY Statistical correlation of metabolic profiles with scaffold/bioreactor features PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY and biological parameters will unveil metabolic markers of bioreactor PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY performance and novel knowledge on SC osteogenic metabolism. Key metabolites PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY will be identified as potentially osteogenesis-inducing, a role to be PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY demonstrated using metabolite-tailored cell media to potentially substitute PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY osteogenic growth factors and, thus, tackle related implantation challenges. PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY Putative hypotheses of responsive hMSCs metabolic pathways will be validated PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY through pathway network analysis, isotope-labeled tracers (NMR) and specific PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY protein and genetic measurements. To our knowledge, this project proposes the PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY first use of metabolomics to guide in vitro bone tissue engineering, building on PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY recent proposals to exploit “omics” to understand, monitor and guide SC PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY behavior for effective tissue engineering and implantation.

ST:STUDY_SUMMARY Lipid changes occurred almost exclusively between days 1 and 7, followed by a ST:STUDY_SUMMARY tendency for lipidome stabilization after day 7. On average, phospholipids and ST:STUDY_SUMMARY longer and more unsaturated fatty acids increased up to day 7, probably related ST:STUDY_SUMMARY to plasma membrane fluidity. Articulation of lipidome changes with previously ST:STUDY_SUMMARY reported polar endometabolome profiling and with exometabolome changes reported ST:STUDY_SUMMARY here in the same cells, enabled important correlations to be established during ST:STUDY_SUMMARY hAMSC osteogenic differentiation. Our results supported hypotheses related to ST:STUDY_SUMMARY the dynamics of membrane remodelling, anti-oxidative mechanisms, protein ST:STUDY_SUMMARY synthesis, and energy metabolism. Importantly, the observation of specific ST:STUDY_SUMMARY up-taken or excreted metabolites paves the way for the identification of ST:STUDY_SUMMARY potential osteoinductive metabolites useful for optimized osteogenic protocols.
