The human vocal folds (VFs, sometimes referred to as vocal cords or vocal chords), which are essential to the production of speech (phonation), are made up of a pair of structures that are stretched horizontally across the top of the trachea, within the larynx. The VF inner region of is made up of the vocalis muscle, which has both passive and active mechanical properties. Passively, the vocalis muscle has a relatively stiff consistency (sometimes compared to the consistency of a stiff rubber band), while, as a muscle, its active contractile properties help control its precise location and level of stiffness.
The vocalis muscle is covered by two mechanically de-coupled regions, each containing multiple layers. The region making up the outer covering of the vocal fold is known as the vocal fold mucosa (VFM). The vocal fold mucosa includes the outermost squamous epithelium layer and a mucosal lamina propria layer directly underneath the squamous epithelium. The squamous epithelium, which is composed primarily of stratified vocal fold epithelial cells (VFEs), serves as an initial boundary of protection for the underlying tissue and helps regulate vocal fold hydration. The underlying mucosal lamina propria, which is composed primarily of loose fibrous and elastic components in a vascularized matrix that is populated by vocal fold fibroblasts (VFEs), provides a pliant cushion having the mechanical properties needed for the vocal folds to vibrate in a manner that facilitates phonation.
The vocal folds also include a third region interposed between the inner vocalis muscle and the outer mucosa: the vocal ligament. The vocal ligament, which includes two non-mucosal lamina propria layers (the intermediate lamina propria and the deep lamina propria), is composed primarily of elastic and collagenous fibers, which provide this intermediate region with its elastic mechanical integrity and durability. See, e.g., Hirano M. Structure and vibratory behavior of the vocal fold, in Sawashima M, Cooper F (eds) (1977), Dynamic aspects of speech production, University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan: 13-30.
When inhaling, the vocal folds are separated, to facilitate the free flow of air through the trachea. When holding one's breath, the vocal folds tighten and come together, completely shutting off the free flow of air through the trachea. During phonation, the vocal folds are in an intermediate position, and the controlled passage of air from the lungs through the trachea causes the mucosa of adjoining vocal folds in contact with each other to vibrate at a high frequency. This transduction of energy from air flow from the lungs into high frequency vocal fold vibration in turn results in airborne sound waves that can be heard as speech. See, e.g., Matsushita H. The vibratory mode of the vocal folds in the excised larynx, Folia Phoniatr (Basel) 27 (1975): 7-18. Accordingly, phonation requires that both vocal fold mucosae are biomechanically capable of aerodynamic-to-acoustic energy transfer and high-frequency vibration, and physiologically capable of maintaining a barrier against the airway lumen.
Voice impairment (dysphonia) affects an estimated 20 million people in the United States, resulting in reduced general and disease-specific quality of life1, reduced occupational performance and attendance2,3, and direct health care costs exceeding $11 billion per year4,5. Between 60 and 80% of voice complaints in the treatment-seeking population involve changes to the vocal fold (VF) mucosa6; severe mucosal impairment or loss due to trauma, disease, or disease resection often culminates in fibrosis and deterioration of VF vibratory capacity for voice7.
Patients with significant VF mucosal damage have limited treatment options. Medialization of the impaired VF, achieved by delivering an implant or injectate to the paraglottic space8-10, can improve VF closure and therefore voice, but does not address fibrotic changes within the extracellular matrix (ECM). Superficial injection of regenerative biomaterials offers an alternative means to improve VF viscoelasticity and vibratory function11,12; however, most biomaterials are not specifically engineered for the VF biomechanical environment, have limited residence time, and are not suited for large deficits involving extensive tissue loss. Creation of an organotypic bioengineered VF mucosa could theoretically bypass these challenges by providing on-demand tissue for transplantation that is both biomechanically appropriate for use as a dynamic sound source for voice production and capable of maintaining barrier function at the boundary of the upper and lower airways.
Tissue engineering of partial and complete VF mucosae has been attempted using decellularized ECM-based13 and collagen14,15 and fibril16,17 gel-based scaffolds, seeded with embryonic stem cell derivatives15, adult stem cells16,17, and terminally differentiated cells13,14,18. These organotypic culture approaches have generated engineered mucosae with desirable histologic features; however, to date, there is no benchmark culture system based solely on human-sourced VF cells against which stem cell-based approaches can be evaluated, no direct comparisons showing equivalency with native human VF mucosa, and most importantly, limited progress towards the restoration of physiologic function17. Significant advances have been hampered by the near-unavailability of disease-free primary human VF mucosal cells19 and limited attention to the intricate protein- and anatomic substructure-level complexity that characterizes mucosal morphogenesis.
Accordingly, there is a need for improved non-immunogenic transplantable engineered mucosae that are biomechanically capable of aerodynamic-to-acoustic energy transfer and high-frequency vibration, and physiologically capable of maintaining a barrier against the airway lumen.
This application discloses engineered vocal fold mucosae made from isolated and purified human VF fibroblasts (VFF) and human VF epithelial cells (VFE) co-cultured under organotypic conditions. The engineered vocal fold mucosae show morphologic features of native tissue. Specifically, the engineered vocal fold mucosae include an engineered mucosal lamina propria layer comprising a collagen polymer matrix populated by human VFFs in contact with an engineered outer squamous epithelium layer made from cultured human VFEs. The engineered vocal fold mucosae show proteome-level evidence of mucosal morphogenesis and emerging extracellular matrix complexity, and rudimentary barrier function in vitro. When grafted into larynges ex vivo, the engineered vocal fold mucosae generate physiologically appropriate vibratory behavior and acoustic output that are indistinguishable from those of native VF tissue. When grafted into humanized mice in vivo, the mucosae survive and are well tolerated by the human adaptive immune system. These results show that the disclosed compositions and methods can be used to restore voice function in patients with otherwise untreatable VF mucosal disease or damage.
In a first aspect, the disclosure encompasses an engineered vocal fold mucosa that includes (a) an engineered non-vascularized lamina propria made up of a scaffold of polymerized collagen populated by a plurality of human vocal fold fibroblasts (VFFs); and (b) an engineered stratified squamous epithelium that includes a plurality of human vocal fold epithelial cells (VFEs) that is in contact with the engineered non-vascularized lamina propria. The engineered vocal fold mucosa is capable of exhibiting the vibratory function and acoustic output of a native vocal fold mucosa.
As used herein, the term “scaffold” refers to a polymerized collagen that forms a gel-like composition. The scaffold is not impervious to aqueous solutions and other liquids, which can readily flow into the scaffold. For example, if the cell-populated scaffold is immersed in a culture medium, the culture medium may be absorbed into the scaffold and come in contact with the cells populating the scaffold. In the engineered vocal fold mucosa, the boundaries of the scaffold within which the VFFs reside also define the boundaries of the engineered non-vascularized lamina propria. Accordingly, the outer boundary of the scaffold is referred to herein as the “surface” of the scaffold.
The engineered stratified squamous epithelium (and the VFEs comprising the engineered squamous epithelium) is outside of the scaffold, and thus has an inner boundary at the scaffold surface. The engineered stratified squamous epithelium extends outward from the scaffold surface to its outermost boundary, the epithelial surface or luminal epithelial surface. The squamous epithelium region that is closest to the inner boundary at the scaffold surface is known as the basal surface region, and the squamous epithelium region that is closest to the luminal epithelial surface is known as the epithelial surface region. As in native VF mucosae, in the engineered VF mucosae, the VFE in the basal region form processes that extend into the underlying lamina propria, consistent with epithelial anchoring and barrier-like structure formation.
By “human vocal fold fibroblasts” (VFFs), we mean fibroblasts that are isolated from the vocal fold mucosa of a human (i.e., primary human vocal fold fibroblasts), or cells that are descended from such isolated human vocal fold mucosa fibroblasts or their progeny. Accordingly, the term is not limited to primary human vocal fold fibroblasts, but also encompasses cells resulting from the continued culturing, proliferation and/or passaging of cells derived from primary human vocal fold fibroblasts or their progeny. By “isolated,” we mean that the cells that have been removed from the native environment in which they originally resided. In the case of primary human vocal fold fibroblasts, the isolated cells are removed from the native extracellular matrix. The vocal fold mucosa from which the cells are isolated may have been obtained from a living human or from a human cadaver. In the case of a human cadaver, the vocal fold mucosa is preferably obtained less than six hours post-mortem.
By “human vocal fold epithelial cells” (VFEs), we mean epithelial cells that are isolated from the vocal fold mucosa of a human (i.e., primary human vocal fold epithelial cells), or cells that are descended from such isolated human vocal fold mucosa epithelial cells or their progeny. Accordingly, the term is not limited to primary human vocal fold epithelial cells, but also encompasses cells resulting from the continued culture, proliferation and/or passaging of cells derived from primary human vocal fold epithelial cells or their progeny. By “isolated,” we mean that the cells that have been removed from the native environment in which they originally resided. In the case of primary human vocal fold epithelial cells, the isolated cells are removed from the native squamous epithelium. The vocal fold mucosa from which the cells are isolated may have been obtained from a living human or from a human cadaver. In the case of a human cadaver, the vocal fold mucosa is preferably obtained less than six hours post-mortem.
The human vocal fold fibroblasts and human vocal fold epithelial cells do not include cells isolated from non-vocal fold mucosal tissue, such as cells isolated from generalized laryngeal mucosa or oral mucosa, or cells isolated from non-human subjects.
In some embodiments, the polymerized collagen is polymerized collagen, type I.
In some embodiments, the density of the VFFs populating the engineered non-vascularized lamina propria is from 100-300 cells/mm2 or from 130-270 cells/mm2.
In some embodiments, the engineered stratified squamous epithelium is between 30 and 70 um thick.
In some embodiments, one or more VFEs at both the basal and epithelial surface regions of the engineered stratified squamous epithelium express the basement membrane marker collagen, type IV.
In some embodiments, the engineered stratified squamous epithelium includes one or more Keratin 5+ VFEs, and the basal region of the engineered stratified squamous epithelium does not have a higher percentage of Keratin 5+ VFEs than the stratified squamous epithelium as a whole.
In some embodiments, one or more of the proteins listed in Table 1 below as being present in the engineered VF mucosa are included in the engineered VF mucosa. In some such embodiments, at least one of the included proteins is a protein that is not present in native VF mucosa.
In a second aspect, the disclosure encompasses an engineered vocal fold mucosa as described herein for use in treating voice impairment caused by vocal fold fibrosis or vocal fold mucosal tissue damage or loss.
In a third aspect, the disclosure encompasses an engineered vocal fold mucosa as described herein for use in manufacturing a composition for treating voice impairment caused by vocal fold fibrosis or vocal fold mucosal tissue damage or loss.
In a fourth aspect, the disclosure encompasses a method of treating voice impairment caused by vocal fold fibrosis or vocal fold mucosal tissue damage or loss. The method includes the step of implanting an engineered vocal fold mucosa as described herein into the larynx of a subject having a vocal impairment. As a result of performing this step, the degree of voice impairment is reduced.
In a fifth aspect, the disclosure encompasses a method of making an engineered vocal fold mucosa. The method includes the steps of (a) culturing a plurality of human vocal fold fibroblasts (VFFs) within a scaffold comprising polymerized collagen; and (b) culturing a plurality of human vocal fold epithelial cells (VFEs) on the scaffold surface. As a result of performing these steps, an engineered vocal fold mucosa is formed that includes an engineered stratified squamous epithelium in contact with an engineered non-vascularized lamina propria made of a polymerized collagen scaffold populated by a plurality of human VFFs within the scaffold.
In some embodiments, the polymerized collagen is polymerized collagen, type I.
In some embodiments, the step of culturing the plurality of human VFEs on the scaffold surface is first performed within an epithelial cell-oriented medium in which the human VFEs are immersed. In some such embodiments, the human VFEs are cultured for 1 to 3 days within the epithelial cell-oriented medium in which the human VFEs are immersed.
By “epithelial cell-oriented medium,” we mean any medium known to or reasonably expected to support the maintenance, growth, and/or proliferation of human epithelial cells in culture, including, without limitation, the epithelial cell-oriented medium disclosed in the Example below.
In some embodiments, the step of culturing the plurality of human VFEs on the scaffold surface is later performed at an air-liquid interface on the scaffold surface, wherein the scaffold comprises a composition comprising both a fibroblast-oriented medium and a epithelial cell-oriented medium. As a result, the human VFEs stratify to form a squamous epithelium layer. In some such embodiments, the VFEs are cultured for 5 to 50 days at the air-liquid interface on the scaffold surface.
In some embodiments, the step of culturing the plurality of human VFFs within the scaffold is first performed when the scaffold includes a fibroblast-oriented medium, and later performed when the scaffold includes a composition comprising both a fibroblast-oriented medium and an epithelial cell-oriented medium.
By “fibroblast-oriented medium,” we mean any medium known to or reasonably expected to support the maintenance, growth, and/or proliferation of human fibroblasts in culture, including, without limitation, the fibroblast-oriented medium disclosed in the Example below.
In some embodiments, prior to culturing the human VFFs within the scaffold, the human VFFs are seeded into the scaffold at a density of between 5×104 and 1×106 VFF/mL. In some such embodiments, the human VFFs are seeded into the scaffold by mixing the VFFs into a collagen composition wherein the collagen has not yet polymerized to form the scaffold. When the collagen subsequently polymerizes into a gel-like composition, the VFFs are cultured within the scaffold.
In some embodiments, the human VFFs are obtained by (a) seeding cells obtained from a human vocal fold mucosa onto an extracellular matrix (ECM)-coated surface, whereby some of the cells adhere to the ECM-coated surface and some of the cells remain free-floating and non-adherent; and (b) culturing the cells that adhere to the ECM-coated surface in fibroblast-oriented medium, resulting in a substantially pure subpopulation of human VFFs. In some such embodiments, the human VFEs are obtained by the further steps of (c) separately culturing the non-adherent cells in an epithelial cell-oriented medium, whereby the non-adherent cells become adherent, and (d) incubating the now-adherent cells in a composition comprising trypsin and removing one or more initially detached cells. In some such embodiments, the remaining adherent cells are detached and passaged into a separate epithelial cell-oriented medium, where the cells again become adherent. In some such embodiments, the passaged cells are again incubated in a composition comprising trypsin, and one or more initially detached cells are again removed, resulting in a substantially pure subpopulation of human VFEs.
In some embodiments, the step of culturing the VFEs, the step of culturing the VFFs, or both further include passaging the cultured cells at least twice. In some such embodiments, the human VFFs, the human VFEs, or both are obtained from the second passage, the third passage, the fourth passage, the fifth passage, the sixth passage, or any combination thereof. In some such embodiments, the human VFFs, the human VFEs, or both are obtained from the third passage.
In some embodiments, the cells are obtained from the human vocal fold mucosa by (a) mincing the human vocal fold mucosa; and (b) enzymatically digesting the minced mucosa to release the cells from the extracellular matrix (ECM).
In a sixth aspect, the disclosure encompasses an engineered vocal fold mucosa as made by the method described herein.
In a seventh aspect, the disclosure encompasses a method of separating cells obtained from human vocal fold mucosa into a substantially pure human VFF subpopulation. The method includes the steps of (a) seeding cells obtained from a human vocal fold mucosa onto an extracellular matrix (ECM)-coated surface, whereby some of the cells adhere to the ECM-coated surface and some of the cells remain free-floating and non-adherent; (b) culturing the cells that adhere to the ECM-coated surface in fibroblast-oriented medium, resulting in a substantially pure subpopulation of human VFFs. In some such embodiments, the cells are further separated into a VFE subpopulation by (c) separately culturing the non-adherent cells in an epithelial cell-oriented medium, whereby the non-adherent cells become adherent, and (d) incubating the now-adherent cells in a composition comprising trypsin and removing one or more initially detached cells. In some such embodiments, the remaining adherent cells are detached and passaged into a separate epithelial cell-oriented medium, where the cells again become adherent. In some such embodiments, the passaged cells are again incubated in a composition comprising trypsin, and one or more initially detached cells are again removed, resulting in a substantially pure subpopulation of human VFEs.
In some embodiments, the cells are obtained from the human vocal fold mucosa by (a) mincing the human vocal fold mucosa; and (b) enzymatically digesting the minced mucosa to release the cells from the extracellular matrix (ECM).
The disclosed compositions and methods are further detailed below.
The patent or application file contains at least one drawing executed in color. Copies of this patent or patent application publication with color drawing(s) will be provided by the Office upon request and payment of the necessary fee.
This application discloses engineered vocal fold mucosae made from isolated and purified human vocal fold fibroblasts and isolated and purified human VF epithelial cells, co-cultured under organotypic conditions. When grafted into larynges ex vivo, the engineered vocal fold mucosae generate physiologically appropriate vibratory behavior and acoustic output that are indistinguishable from those of native VF tissue, thus demonstrating that they have the biomechanical properties that are essential for use as an implant in treating voice impairment due to vocal fold mucosal tissue damage, loss, or disease. In addition, when grafted into humanized mice in vivo (a transgenic mouse model supporting a functional human adaptive immune system; see Schulz, L. D., et al., Nat. Rev Immunol 12, 786-798 (2012)), the mucosae survive and are well tolerated by the human adaptive immune system, indicating that implanting the engineered mucosa into the larynx of a patient would likely not trigger rejection or immune system attack against the implant.
The inventors have found that using human vocal fold mucosal cells in the engineered vocal fold mucosa imparts the unique biomechanical and immunological properties that make the engineered mucosa useful as an implant for restoring vocal function in humans. Without being bound by any theory, human-sourced vocal fold mucosal cells are derived from cells that have been exposed to unique mechanical forces and vibration during voice production, and are thus specifically adapted to have the functional and underlying structural characteristics necessary to support phonation.
Regarding the human immunotolerance engendered by the grafted engineered vocal fold mucosa, the vocal fold mucosal cells may have immunoprivilege conferred by the unique position in the body of the cells from which they are derived. Specifically, humans are constantly inhaling a variety of potentially immunogenic foreign matter, much of which would come in contact with the vocal fold mucosae. If the vocal fold mucosal cells were immunologically active, the vocal fold mucosa would be continuously inflamed, resulting in chronic laryngitis and other airway problems. Thus, vocal fold mucosal cells may have evolved to favor and promote immunotolerance, as exhibited by the engineered vocal fold mucosa.
The engineered vocal fold mucosa is capable of exhibiting the vibratory function and acoustic output of a native vocal fold mucosa. Such capability can be measured using any of a number of specific tests known in the art, including, without limitation, the physiological, vibratory, and acoustic tests using ex vivo canine larynges that are described in detail in the Example below.
In the disclosed method of making the engineered vocal fold mucosa, the human VFFs may be cultured in a fibroblast-oriented medium or in a composition containing a fibroblast-oriented medium. The human VFEs may be cultured in a epithelial cell-oriented medium or in a composition containing an epithelial cell-oriented medium. By “fibroblast-oriented medium,” we mean any medium known to or reasonably expected to support the maintenance, growth, and/or proliferation of human fibroblasts in culture, including, without limitation, the fibroblast-oriented medium disclosed in the Example below. By “epithelial cell-oriented medium,” we mean any medium known to or reasonably expected to support the maintenance, growth, and/or proliferation of human airway epithelial cells in culture, including, without limitation, the epithelial cell-oriented medium disclosed in the Example below.
The human vocal fold mucosa can be useful for various in vitro and in vivo applications. Preparations for use in clinical applications must be obtained in accordance with regulations imposed by governmental agencies such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Accordingly, in exemplary embodiments, the methods provided herein are conducted in accordance with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs), Good Tissue Practices (GTPs), and Good Laboratory Practices (GLPs). Reagents comprising animal derived components are not used, and all reagents are purchased from sources that are GMP-compliant. In the context of clinical manufacturing of a bioengineered implant for use in restoring vocal function in humans, GTPs govern cell donor consent, traceability, and infectious disease screening, whereas GMPs are relevant to the facility, processes, testing, and practices to produce consistently safe and effective products for human use. See Lu et al. Stem Cells 27: 2126-2135 (2009). Where appropriate, oversight of patient protocols by agencies and institutional panels is envisioned to ensure that informed consent is obtained; safety, bioactivity, appropriate dosage, and efficacy of products are studied in phases; results are statistically significant; and ethical guidelines are followed.
As used herein, the term “engineered tissue” (or similar term) refers to a tissue prepared in accordance with the methods of the invention. An acceptably engineered tissue displays physical characteristics typical of the type of the tissue in vivo and functional characteristics typical of the type of the tissue in vivo, i.e., has a functional activity. For example, physical characteristics of an engineered vocal fold mucosa can include the presence of a lamina propria layer and a squamous epithelium layer. Functional characteristics of an engineered vocal fold mucosa can include the capacity of the engineered tissue for exhibiting the vibratory function and acoustic output of a native vocal fold mucosa. As used herein, the term “bioengineered” generally refers to a tissue prepared in vitro using biological techniques including, for example, techniques of cell biology, biochemistry, tissue culture, and materials science.
The following abbreviations and acronyms are used in this application: VF, vocal fold; VFF, vocal fold fibroblasts; VFE, vocal fold epithelial cells; ECM, extracellular matrix.
Each of the publications cited in this application is incorporated by reference in its entirety and for all purposes. While specific embodiments and examples of the disclosed subject matter have been discussed herein, these examples are illustrative and not restrictive. Many variations will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon review of this specification and the claims below.
The following Example is offered for illustrative purposes only, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention in any way. Indeed, various modifications of the invention in addition to those shown and described herein will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the foregoing description and the following example and fall within the scope of the appended claims.
In this Example, we generated bioengineered vocal fold mucosae from isolated and purified vocal fold fibroblasts (VFF) and epithelial cells (VFE). Specifically, we initially hypothesized that primary human-sourced VF mucosal cells, exposed to unique mechanical forces during human voice production20,21, could be an appropriate cell source for the development of a bioengineered VF mucosa capable of recapitulating native VF physiologic function. We therefore isolated and purified primary vocal fold fibroblasts (VFF) and epithelial cells (VFE) from individual human donors and cultured these cells under 3D organotypic conditions, based on techniques commonly employed in skin and other mucosal systems22,23. The resulting engineered mucosae showed morphologic resemblance to native human VF mucosa, proteome-level evidence of active organogenesis/morphogenesis along with emerging ECM complexity, and rudimentary epithelial barrier function in vitro. Using a large animal ex vivo setup, we observed aerodynamic-to-acoustic energy transfer, periodic VF vibratory motion with physiologic mucosal wave travel, and acoustic output that were each indistinguishable from those generated by native tissue. Using a humanized mouse system, we implanted engineered VF mucosal auto- and allografts in vivo and documented robust graft survival with favorable tolerance by the human adaptive immune system. Taken together, these results indicate that the disclosed bioengineered mucosae have the potential to restore voice function in patients with otherwise untreatable VF mucosal disease.
Results
Isolation and Characterization of Primary Cells from Human VF Mucosa.
Primary VF mucosal cell culture is rarely feasible with disease-free tissue from human donors, as elective biopsy carries an unacceptable risk of lamina propria scar formation and dysphonia. For this reason, and because of associated technical challenges, there are no published reports of isolation, purification and primary culture of VFF and VFE from a single human donor. We obtained human tissue from cadavers at autopsy (<6 h post-mortem) and patients undergoing total laryngectomy for indications that did not include laryngeal disease (e.g., hypopharyngeal cancer, dysphagia with otherwise untreatable pulmonary aspiration) and then initially conducted primary explant culture in fibroblast- or epithelial cell-oriented medium. Fibroblast-oriented culture resulted in steady VFF proliferation and successful deletion of non-target cells, yielding a morphologically pure VFF population within 21 d (
To address these issues, we developed an approach to better isolate and purify VFF and VFE from human VF mucosa (
Fibroblasts and epithelial cells exhibit distinct immunomarkers in vivo but share expression of most markers (at different abundances) in vitro.24,25 We therefore used a 6-marker flow cytometry panel to characterize the relative expression of classic fibroblast- and epithelial cell-associated proteins in our adhesion-separated VFF and VFE (
VFF maintained a consistent proliferation rate (30-40 h population doubling time) over 6 passages (
Assembly of 3D Engineered VF Mucosa.
Having successfully identified a viable source of purified human primary cells, we pursued 3D organotypic culture (
The engineered VF mucosa began to resemble native mucosa after 10-14 d in culture, exhibiting a ˜50 μm-thick stratified squamous epithelium and sparsely cell populated lamina propria (
To further characterize the biological complexity of the engineered VF mucosa, we conducted discovery proteomic analysis using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Using a 1% false discovery rate, we identified 762 unique proteins in the engineered mucosa, compared with 908 in the native mucosa and 32 in the collagen, type I-based scaffold (
Quantitative Proteomic Analysis of Engineered VF Mucosa Compared to its Isolated Subcomponents.
We pursued further quantitative proteomic analyses to identify protein complexes and functionality that were unique to the engineered VF mucosa, compared to its isolated subcomponents: VFF in collagen, type I scaffold and VFE on collagen, type I scaffold (
Next, we performed functional enrichment analysis of the protein set that was either exclusively identified or quantitatively overrepresented in engineered VF mucosa compared to both VFF in scaffold and VFE on scaffold. The most highly represented biological process ontology terms (adjusted P<4×10−5) indicated that the engineered mucosa was uniquely engaged in macromolecule catabolism, protein localization, and cellular component organization or biogenesis (
Emergence of Immature Barrier Function in Engineered VF Mucosa.
As our histologic and proteomic data suggested the emergence of basement membrane structures and epithelial junctional complexes under organotypic culture conditions, we performed follow-up immunovalidation of laminin 5, keratin 5 and junction plakoglobin expression in engineered VF mucosa, and compared the distribution of these proteins to native VF mucosa. Immunohistochemistry confirmed that each of these targets was expressed in the engineered VF epithelium but lacked the region-specific localization of native mucosa (
To further evaluate physiologic barrier function in the engineered mucosa, we conducted transmucosal electrical resistance experiments. These experiments required reducing fibroblast seeding density by ˜3.5-fold (to 5.6×104 VFF·mL−1) to reduce scaffold contraction and eliminate detachment from the insert wall. Under comparable culture conditions, the engineered mucosa had significantly greater resistance than scaffold only and VFF in scaffold (P<0.01), but showed no significant difference compared to VFE on scaffold (P=0.06;
Ex Vivo Physiologic Function of Engineered VF Mucosa.
Given the favorable morphologic and histologic appearance of engineered VF mucosa compared to native tissue, we scaled-up our engineering approach to create human-sized tissues, and evaluated their physiologic performance in a large animal excised larynx setup. This ex vivo approach holds key methodological advantages over in vivo techniques for studying VF physiology, due to greater control of anatomic, postural and aerodynamic input parameters, direct visual exposure of the VFs during vibration, and more precise multichannel measurement. We used canine larynges based on their anatomic similarity to human specimens and precedence in excised larynx studies33-35 and collected sequential datasets from each larynx: (i) with bilateral native VFs intact, (ii) following unilateral VF mucosa resection to impair physiologic function, and (iii) following unilateral placement of engineered VF mucosa in an attempt to restore function (
We collected a complete array of aerodynamic, high-speed digital imaging (HSDI) and acoustic data (
HSDI analysis showed restoration of typical vibratory physiology following engineered VF mucosa replacement. Glottal area waveforms and displacement values were similar to those generated by native mucosa, particularly for within-larynx comparisons (P=0.26;
Using the same ex vivo experimental set-up, we next compared the physiologic function of engineered VF mucosa with that of human oral mucosa (
Immunogenicity of Engineered VF Mucosa.
To further evaluate its potential for therapeutic implementation, we tested the immunogenicity of engineered VF mucosa and its constituent cells using flow cytometry and an in vivo transplantation assay. Previous work has shown that primary VFF express a cell-surface phenotype that is comparable to immunoprivileged mesenchymal stein cells41, however no such data have been reported for VFE. VFF and VFE uniformly expressed the pan-major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I marker human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-ABC (common to all nucleated cells), but were negative for the pan-MHC class 11 marker HLA-DR (associated with professional antigen-presenting cells), as well as the T cell costimulatory molecules CD80 and CD86 (
Given these encouraging in vitro data, we next evaluated in vivo survival and tolerance of engineered VF mucosa following subrenal capsule auto- and allograft transplantation in the humanized NOD-scid IL2rγnull (NSG) mouse. This transgenic model contains a targeted mutation causing complete silencing of the interleukin-2 receptor γ-chain (IL2rγ) locus, which results in severely restricted B, T, and natural killer (NK) cell development42. The NSG model supports engraftment of human peripheral blood lymphocytes (hPBL) and establishment of a functional human adaptive immune system, allowing evaluation of graft immunogenicity during the period prior to terminal xenogeneic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD).
We implanted engineered VF mucosal grafts from unrelated human donors under the bilateral renal capsules of irradiated NSG mice, followed by intravenous delivery of 13×106 hPBL that were obtained from an original laryngeal tissue donor and autologous to one of the two grafts (
The identification of a robust subpopulation of regulatory T cells in the auto- and allografts, combined with the absence of tissue destruction in both conditions, suggests that engineered VF mucosa holds low immunogenicity and is well tolerated by the human adaptive immune system in vivo. Additional long-term experiments in NSG mice without hPBL challenge confirmed that the grafts survived and remained populated by human cells for the entire 70-98 days (d) experimental time course (
Discussion
We have met a series of important milestones towards the development of a fully functioning bioengineered VF mucosa suitable for therapeutic transplantation. These milestones include: concurrent isolation and purification of primary VFF and VFE from individual human donors; 3D organotypic primary culture resulting in recapitulation of key morphologic features and emerging barrier function; confirmation of size scalability; restoration of normal-appearing physiologic vibratory function and acoustic output; and demonstration of tolerance by the human adaptive immune system. The robust biomechanical performance and low immunogenicity of this engineered VF mucosa indicates that our approach could be used to restore voice function in patients with otherwise untreatable VF mucosal impairment or loss.
Although difficult to obtain, and never previously isolated and purified in parallel, we used primary human VFF and VFE as a source of human VFFs and VFEs based on the rationale that these cells are ideally suited for VF mucosal organotypic culture due to their prolonged exposure to phonation-associated mechanical forces in vivo20,21. This approach was successful, and under permissive conditions the cells engaged in mucosal morphogenesis, contributing to assembly of a functional 3D tissue. Given that primary VF mucosal cells are not currently available for large-scale clinical therapeutics, utilization of alternative cell populations, such as embryonic stem cell derivatives15, bone marrow-44-46 or adipose-derived stem cells16,17,47, or non-VF somatic cells48, is an attractive future direction. Such cells might be differentiated towards a VF mucosal cell phenotype, and primed for successful VF organotypic culture and transplantation, by exposure to defined tensile and vibratory forces in a laryngeal bioreactor49-51.
VF vibratory function and mucosal wave travel are highly dependent on tissue viscoelasticity20, which in turn is a direct function of VFF-secreted ECM composition29,30. We seeded cells in a relatively simple collagen, type I-based scaffold material, selected for its cytocompatibility43, high abundance in native human VF mucosa26, and utility in previous organotypic culture systems22,23 and tissue engineering applications43. This initial collagen matrix was augmented by endogenous ECM production by the seeded cells, and the engineered VF mucosa was further strengthened by VFF-driven contraction to the point that it was able to withstand physiologically relevant aerodynamic driving pressures (˜1-3 kPa) and tissue vibration rates (˜100-300 Hz) for accumulated time doses of 10-15 min during our ex vivo experiments.
Still, while physiologic function was comparable, the engineered VF mucosa did not show lamina propria fiber complexity equivalent to mature human VF mucosa. This observation is not surprising considering that, during human development, differentiation of the VF lamina propria ECM into a complex structure with depth-dependent fibrous protein distribution begins at postnatal age 2 months and is not complete until at least 13 years (y)52. Extended culture time, phonation-relevant dosing with mechanical forces (as noted above)49-51, and/or the use of more architecturally relevant scaffold materials such as decellularized VF mucosa53, may provide the additional microenvironmental cues needed to yield even greater maturation in vitro.
The engineered VF mucosa exhibited low immunogenicity when presented to the human adaptive immune system in vivo, suggesting that this primary cell-based approach itself has clinical potential in an allotransplantation scenario. Full development of this approach may require additional orthotopic transplantation experiments, with evaluation of long-term tolerance and physiologic outcomes. These experiments will allow the skilled artisan to determine the optimal nature and length of in vitro organotypic culture prior to transplantation, and the extent to which subsequent in vivo incorporation of host cells and their participation in ongoing ECM remodeling completes the regeneration process.
Free mucosal graft is a technically straightforward procedure in laryngeal reconstruction and, given its limited vascular demand, has high viability39. Key considerations in determining in vivo outcomes, therefore, may be the relative long-term immunoprivilege of the (primary or non-primary) cells used for organotypic culture, as well as the cumulative impact of the host response and local biomechanical environment on long-term graft remodeling.
In summary, this Example provides a framework for the efficient generation of physiologically relevant and clinically useful bioengineered VF mucosae. Beyond its direct potential for therapeutic use, this approach has application to the development of advanced in vitro model systems for VF mucosal disease modeling and preclinical testing of therapeutic agents.
Materials and Methods
Cell Isolation and Culture.
Human VF mucosae (n=10) were obtained from cadavers at autopsy (<6 h post-mortem) and patients undergoing total laryngectomy with no evidence of VF mucosal disease on routine clinical, endoscopic and radiographic work-up. Procurement was performed with approval of the University of Wisconsin-Madison Health Sciences Institutional Review Board (IRB). Each mucosa was microdissected from its underlying thyroaytenoid muscle, minced with scalpels, and incubated in PBS containing 7.5 mg·mL−1 collagenase, type I (Wako) and 0.5 mg·mL−1 DNase I (Sigma-Aldrich) at 37° C. using 50 Hz agitation for 1 h. Cells released from the ECM were strained through a 40 μm filter (BD Biosciences), rinsed and resuspended in fibroblast-oriented medium (DMEM containing 10% FBS and 100 U·mL−1 antibiotic-antimycotic solution; Sigma-Aldrich), seeded on culture plates pre-coated with Earle's balanced salt solution (EBSS) containing 30 μg·mL−1 collagen, type I, 10 μg·mL−1 fibronectin and 10 μg·mL−1 BSA54, and incubated at 37° C. in 5% CO2. After 30 min, free-floating non-adherent cells were collected, rinsed in epithelial cell-oriented medium (DMEM/Ham's F-12 supplemented with 15 μg·mL−1 bovine pituitary extract, 10 ng·mL−1 epidermal growth factor, 0.5 μg·mL−1 epinephrine, 5 μg·mL−1 insulin, 10 μg·mL−1 transferrin, 10 ng·mL−1 triiodo-L-thyronine, 0.5 μg·mL−1 hydrocortisone, 0.1 ng·mL−1 retinoic acid, 1.5 μg·mL−1 albumin, 100 U·mL−1 antibiotic-antimycotic solution, and 1% FBS; Sigma-Aldrich)54, reseeded on pre-coated culture plates, and maintained in epithelial cell-oriented culture conditions. Adherent cells were maintained in fibroblast-oriented culture conditions.
Both cell populations were cultured at 37° C. in 5% CO2 and passaged when 80% confluent. Given that epithelial cells, once attached, are more adherent than fibroblasts in 2D culture, we performed additional adherence-based VFE purification at passages 1 and 2, as follows. Cells were incubated with 0.05% trypsin-EDTA (Sigma-Aldrich) at 37° C. for 1 minute to detach contaminating VFF, rinsed with PBS, and then incubated with 0.25% trypsin-EDTA at 37° C. for 2 min to detach remaining VFE for subsequent passage. Cell passage was performed using 5×103 cells·cm−2 seeding density. Cells intended for fixation and staining were seeded at 1-3×103 cells·cm−2 density on slide chambers.
Cell Growth Kinetics.
Passage 1-6 VFF and VFE (n=4 biological replicates per condition) were plated at 3×105 cells·cm−2 seeding density in 6-well plates and cultured at 37° C. in 5% CO2. Cells were trypsinized and harvested after 96 hours, stained with trypan blue, and counted. All counts (at the time of cell seeding and harvest) were performed using a hematocytometer in technical quadruplicate. Cell plates were imaged to confirm cell trypsinization and complete detachment. Population doubling time was calculated as 2N=Cf/Ci, where N denotes doubling time, Cf denotes the final cell count at time of harvest, and C, denotes the initial cell count at time of seeding55.
3D Organotypic Culture.
We engineered 167 VF mucosae using 3D organotypic culture. Purified rat tail collagen, type I (BD Biosciences) was prepared to a final concentration of 2.4 mg·mL−1 according to the manufacturer's instructions and seeded with 2×105 VFF·mL−1. Mucosae used for transmucosal resistance experiments were prepared with a reduced fibroblast seeding density of 5.6×104 VFF·mL−1 to reduce scaffold contraction and eliminate detachment from the insert wall. The cell-scaffold mixture was added to the apical chamber of a culture insert (0.14 mL per well of a 24-well insert with 0.4 μm pore size, 0.64 cm diameter, 0.3 cm2 surface area; or 2.0 mL per well of a 6-well insert with 0.4 μm pore size, 2.31 cm diameter, 4.2 cm2 surface area; BD Biosciences). The collagen-based scaffold was then polymerized at 37° C. for 40 min. Fibroblast-oriented medium was added to both apical and basolateral chambers and the cells were cultured for 24 hours. Next, VFE were seeded on the polymerized scaffold surface within the apical chamber (2×105 VFE per well of a 24-well insert; 2×106 VFE per well of a 6-well insert) and cultured in epithelial cell-oriented medium; a 1:1 ratio of fibroblast- and epithelial cell-oriented media was added to the basolateral chamber. After an additional 48 h, the epithelial cell-oriented medium was aspirated from the apical chamber, leaving VFE at the air-liquid interface. We continued organotypic culture for a total of 8-28 d with basolateral chamber media change every 48 h.
As initial histological assessment showed no difference in engineered VF mucosa morphology at 14 and 28 d, we performed all subsequent histological, immunohistochemical, proteomic, physiologic and immunologic assays on samples harvested at 14 d. Experimental comparisons involving the scaffold only, VFF in scaffold and VFE on scaffold involved identical culture conditions for the entire 14 d period.
Ex Vivo Physiologic Experiments.
Ex vivo physiologic data were collected using a previously reported experimental setup56. HSDI data were captured at 13,500 frames·s−1 and calibrated for distance measurement in mm. Acoustic data were digitized at 48 kHz with 16-bit quantization. The microphone and sound level meter (dB A-weighted) were positioned 3 cm from the glottal midpoint.
Previously harvested and cryopreserved canine larynges (n=10) were thawed at 4° C. overnight and the epiglottis, aryepiglottic folds and false VFs were removed to maximize visual exposure of the true VFs. Arytenoid adduction procedures were performed using 5-0 sutures. Following instrument calibration, each larynx was mounted and then subjected to gradual increases in Ps to obtain Pth. Aerodynamic, acoustic and HSDI data were then collected at Pth, 1.5Pth and 2Pth. For 5 larynges, data were collected under native conditions, following unilateral VF mucosa resection, and following engineered VF mucosa placement. Additional data were collected in a parallel experiment using the remaining 5 larynges and previously cryopreserved human oral mucosa (n=5; harvested from cadavers at autopsy [<6 h post-mortem] under IRB exemption) in place of the engineered VF mucosa. The engineered VF or oral mucosa was attached to the underlying thyroarytenoid muscle using fibrin sealant (Tisseel; Baxter). All ex vivo tissues were draped with saline-soaked gauze between experimental runs to prevent dehydration.
ac was derived from acoustic intensity in dB SPL, based on an assumption of uniform acoustic radiation from the glottis in all directions. aero was calculated by multiplying Ps in kPa by U in L·s1. Eg was calculated by dividing ac by aero (both in W) and converting to a percentage. HSDI-based analyses of glottal area and vibratory phase differences were performed in Matlab (Mathworks) with implementation of previously described algorithms57-60. Acoustic time-domain plots and narrowband spectrograms (150 ms analysis window) were generated using Praat 5.3.41 (Paul Boersma and David Weenink, University of Amsterdam). Phase plots were generated as previously described61. Qualitative signal typing was performed using previously reported criteria36,37.
Humanized Mouse Experiments.
hPBL were obtained with IRB approval and isolated from individuals with no known hematopoietic disorders via either leukapheresis using lymphocyte separation medium (Cellgro) or routine venipuncture with collection in a lavender-top Vacutainer® tube (BD Biosciences) followed by centrifugation and separation. All samples were subject to ACK lysis of red blood cells and frozen prior to experimental use.
NOD-scid IL2rγnull (NSG) mice aged 7-8 weeks (wk) were used for all in vivo experiments (n=23; Jackson Laboratory); protocols were approved by the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health Animal Care and Use Committee. Mice were conditioned with sublethal (2.5 Gy) total body irradiation; 4 h following irradiation, engineered VF mucosae were implanted under the bilateral renal capsules. The following day, mice received an intravenous injection of 13×106 hPBL that were isolated from an original laryngeal tissue donor and autologous to one of the two engineered VF mucosal grafts. Additional mice were subject to the following conditions: engineered VF mucosal graft implantation followed by delivery of hPBL that were allogeneic to both grafts; engineered VF mucosal graft implantation followed by no hPBL delivery; acellular scaffold implantation followed by hPBL delivery; acellular scaffold implantation followed by no hPBL delivery (n=3-6 per condition).
Mice were monitored every 1-2 d for decrease in body mass and clinical signs consistent with GVHD, such as a hunched posture, ruffled fur, and mobility difficulty: mice who received hPBL were euthanized in response to a >15% decrease in body mass compared to baseline. Other mice were monitored for 70-98 d. Peripheral blood was collected at 7 d post-engraftment and at the experimental endpoint and processed for flow cytometry. Auto- and allografts, acellular scaffolds and eyelids (used as a positive control for xenogeneic GVHD) were harvested at the experimental endpoint and processed for histology and immunohistochemisty.
Flow Cytometry.
Cells were washed and suspended in staining buffer (Hanks' balanced salt solution (HBSS) containing 2% FBS and 10 mM HEPES). For cell surface staining, single cell suspensions were incubated with fluorochrome-conjugated antibodies. For intracellular staining, unstained or surface-stained cells were washed, then fixed and permeabilized using Cytofix/Cytoperm™ (BD Biosciences) according to the manufacturer's instructions. The permeabilized cells were then incubated with fluorochrome-conjugated antibodies against the intracellular targets, washed, and resuspended in staining buffer. All antibodies are listed in Table 6. Cells were also incubated with DAPI: a change in DAPI fluorescent intensity was used to gate live versus dead cells. Samples were run on a 4-laser, 14-color LSR II instrument (BD Biosciences) and data were analyzed using FlowJo 8.7.1 (Tree Star). We employed both isotype (Table 6) and fluorescence-minus-one (FMO) controls.
Histology, Immunocytochemistry and Immunohistochemistry.
Cells seeded on slide chambers were harvested after 2-3 days in culture and fixed using 2-4% paraformaldehyde. Native and engineered tissues were processed for paraffin (5 μm-thick) and frozen (8 μm-thick) sections. Routine H&E, Alcian blue (pH 2.5, with and without hyaluronidase digestion), Elastic van Gieson, and Movat's pentachrome histological staining was performed on both paraffin and frozen sections to evaluate morphology.
Frozen sections used for immunostaining were incubated with 0.5% Triton X-100 for 15 min, Image iT-FX (Life Technologies) for 30 min, and Block-Ace (AbD Serotech) and 5% donkey serum (Sigma-Aldrich) for 30 min. Fixed cells and sections were incubated with primary antibodies for 90 min followed by appropriate secondary antibodies for 90 min, with thorough wash steps between each incubation step. A complete list of antibodies is provided in Table 7. Following primary and secondary antibody incubations, cells and sections were counterstained with DAPI, covered with Vectashield antifade mounting medium (Vector Labs), and coverslipped.
Paraffin sections used for immunostaining were first processed for antigen retrieval in a decloaking chamber (Biocare Medical) using 10 mM citrate buffer (pH 6.0). Sections were permeabilized using 0.2% Triton X-100 for 10 minutes and incubated with 10% BSA in PBS for 60 minutes to block non-specific binding, prior to incubation with primary antibodies for 60 minutes (Table 7). Thorough washing was performed between each incubation step. For HRP-based detection, endogenous peroxidase was quenched using 3% hydrogen peroxide in PBS. ImmPRESS anti-mouse and anti-rabbit Ig HRP polymers were used for secondary detection (30 minutes incubation) and the ImmPACT DAB kit was used to develop the signal (all reagents from Vector Labs), according to the manufacturer's instructions. Sections were counterstained with hematoxylin, dehydrated, cleared and coverslipped.
All staining protocols were performed using 5-10 biological replicates, each with two technical replicates. Histological, immunocytochemical and immunohistochemical images were captured using a microscope (E-600; Nikon) equipped with a digital microscopy camera (DP-71; Olympus). Consistent exposure parameters were used for each immunostained protein of interest. Positive control tissues (Table 7) showed expected immunostaining patterns. Negative control sections, stained with an IgG isotype control or without the primary or secondary antibody, showed no immunoreactivity.
Histology- and immunohistochemistry-based cell counts were performed using 10 non-overlapping, high-magnification fields per biological replicate. For measurement of overall cell density in the engineered and native VF mucosae, 0.25 mm2-sized fields were randomly sampled from the central lamina propria region. For measurement of hCD4+hFOXP3+ cell density in the VF auto- and allografts, 0.1 mm2-sized fields were randomly sampled from the deep lamina propria region of each graft (nearest the mouse kidney) as this region contained the greatest number of infiltrating cells. For measurement of hCD4+hFOXP3+ cell density in the mouse eyelid, 0.1 mm2-sized fields were randomly sampled from the meibomian gland-containing region.
Proteomic Analyses.
Proteins were extracted from each sample (n=3 biological replicates per condition) by first adding 150 μL of 4% SDS, 0.1 M Tris-HCl (pH 7.6) and 0.1 M dithiothreitol. Next, samples were sonicated (alternating 20 s on/off cycles for 6 min) using a probe sonicator (XL2015 with PN/418 microtip; Misonix), heated to 95° C. for 7 min, and then centrifuged at 16,100 g at 20° C. for 5 min. A 30 μL aliquot of the supernatant was processed according to the filter-aided sample preparation (FASP) protocol for SDS removal and on-filter digestion62,63. Briefly, the supernatant was added to a 30,000 MWCO Vivacon 500 filter (Sartorius), washed, alkylated, and digested with trypsin (50:1 w/w protein-to-trypsin ratio) at 37° C. overnight. The digested sample was desalted using a Sep-Pak C18 1 cc Vac cartridge (Waters), evaporated to dryness in a vacuum centrifuge, and reconstituted in 5% acetonitrile and 2% formic acid in water.
The following mass spectrometry (MS) experiment was performed using two technical replicates per biological replicate. Approximately 1.2 μg of the protein digest, as estimated by a BCA assay (Pierce), was injected into a Waters nanoAcquity HPLC coupled to an ESI ion-trap/orbitrap mass spectrometer (LTQ Orbitrap Velos; Thermo Scientific). Peptides were separated on a 100 μm-inner-diameter column packed with 20 cm of 3 μm MAGIC aqC18 beads (Bruker-Michrom), which were packed against an in-house laser-pulled tip, and eluted at 0.3 μL·min−1 in 0.1% formic acid with a gradient of increasing acetonitrile, over 2.5 h. A full-mass scan (300-1500 m/z) was performed in the orbitrap at a resolution of 60,000. The ten most intense peaks were then selected for fragmentation by high-energy collisional dissociation (HCD) at 42% collision energy, with a resolution of 7500 and isolation width of 2.5 m/z. Dynamic exclusion was enabled with a repeat count of 2 over 30 seconds (s) and an exclusion duration of 120 s.
We searched the mass spectra against appropriate organism protein databases (Homo sapiens and Rattus norvegicus; UniProt) using the SEQUEST algorithm within Proteome Discoverer (Thermo Scientific). We allowed two missed cleavages, required at least two unique peptides per protein identification, and filtered the results using a 1% peptide false discovery rate. Precursor mass tolerance was set to 25 ppm and 0.05 Da for fragment ion tolerance. Variable methionine and proline oxidation (+15.995 Da) and static carbamidomethylation of cysteines (+57.021 Da) were also used. Spectral counting-based protein quantification was performed using the normalized spectral abundance factor (NSAF) approach28. Further normalization, based on an assumption of comparable degradation of rat collagen across experimental conditions, was performed using a correction factor calculated from the NSAF values of the 10 most abundant proteins in the collagen, type I-based scaffold. The raw MS data files may be downloaded from the PeptideAtlas peptide data repository64 using the dataset identifier PASS00271.
Protein Array.
Passage 3 VFF were seeded at a density of 2×105 cells·mL−1 collagen, type I and cultured at 37° C. in 5% CO2 for 96 h. Fibroblast-oriented medium was changed every 24 h. Culture supernatants were harvested 48 and 96 h post-seeding, pooled across 6 biological replicates per time point, and processed for measurement of MMP/TIMP concentrations using the Quantibody® Human MMP Array 1 platform (RayBiotech), according to the manufacturer's instructions. Medium only was used as a negative control. Each MMP/TIMP of interest was assayed in technical quadruplicate. The array was scanned and data processed using Q-Analyzer software (RayBiotech).
Rheologic Analyses.
Small-amplitude oscillatory shear measurements (n=4-12 biological replicates per condition) were performed in a Bohlin C-VOR rheometer (Malvern) using 15-mm parallel-plate geometry with a 0.3-0.6 mm gap size (adjusted according to the sample volume) at 37° C. Serrated plates were used to avoid sample slippage during testing. Frequency sweep tests were performed from 0.01-10 Hz under a constant applied stress of 3 Pa, which was determined as the linear viscoelastic limit via stress sweep tests.
Transmucosal Electrical Resistance Analyses.
Electrical resistance measurements (n=4 biological replicates per condition, each with two technical replicates) were performed in 24-well inserts using a Millicell-ERS volt-ohm meter (Millipore), according to the manufacturer's instructions. Samples were rinsed and fresh media were added to the basolateral and apical insert chambers 15-30 min prior to data collection. The resistance value of an insert containing fresh media but no scaffold or cells was subtracted from each sample measurement. Resistance values were then further normalized to the scaffold only condition.
Statistical Analyses.
Technical replicates were averaged and all statistical comparisons were performed using independent biological replicates. NSAF-based quantitative proteomic data were analyzed using a two-tailed Student's t test with implementation of Benjamin-Hochberg correction65 to account for multiple testing. Gene ontology term enrichment analysis was performed using the BiNGO66 (hypergeometric model with Benjamini-Hochberg correction) and REViGO67 (SimRel cutoff=0.4) algorithms. Ontology term enrichment schematics were generated using Cytoscape 2.8.268. Other statistical testing was performed using SAS 9.2 (SAS Institute). Flow cytometry, rheology (comparison of slopes of each fitted curve), cell density, transmucosal resistance, Pth, and body mass data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA. Glottal area and vibratory phase data were analyzed using two-way ANOVA, with VF mucosa condition and Pth as fixed effects, and their interaction term included. Cell proliferation data were also analyzed using two-way ANOVA, with cell type and culture passage as fixed effects, and their interaction term included. Data were first evaluated for normality and equality of variance using visual inspection of raw data plots and Levene's test; data were rank-transformed where needed to meet the equal variance assumptions of the Student's t test and ANOVA. In all ANOVA models, if the omnibus F test revealed a significant difference, pairwise comparisons were performed using Fisher's protected least significant difference method. Categorical acoustic signal typing data were analyzed using a chi-squared test. An initial (pre-correction) type I error rate of 0.01 was used for all statistical testing; quantitative proteomic data were subject to an additional fold change cutoff of 4. All P-values were two-sided.
