Regenerative medicine approaches for the reconstitution of missing or injured tissues and organs involves the use of scaffolds, cells, and bioactive molecules. The use of biologic scaffolds seeded with cells is a common approach and several applications have been successfully translated to clinical medicine including lower urinary tract, gastrointestinal tract, musculotendinous, and dermal skin regeneration. The principles that guide tissue remodeling and regeneration are only partially understood but the influence of biomechanical loading upon the remodeling process is accepted as an important variable. However, there is an almost complete absence of systematic, quantitative studies to determine the effect of this controllable factor upon tissue remodeling, especially tissues with a smooth muscle wall component. The present proposal seeks support to conduct a quantitative, hypothesis driven study that determines the effects of mechanical loading upon smooth muscle phenotype in vitro and in vivo and the related changes to the architecture of the scaffold upon which they are seeded. A biologic scaffold derived from the extracellular matrix (ECM) of a porcine urinary bladder will be seeded with smooth muscle cells derived from different sources: the vascular wall, urinary bladder, and esophagus. The influence of those organ specific mechanical loading regimens upon the remodeling process and the ability to modulate the remodeling process by changing the mechanical loading pattern will be investigated. Two specific aims are described in which: 1) ECM seeded with the three different types of smooth muscle will be subjected to carefully selected mechanical loading regimens and the effect upon cell phenotype and matrix organization will be quantitatively evaluated and 2) two smooth muscle cells types will be evaluated upon ECM used within an organ culture model (rat bladder wall) to evaluate the effect of cellular and ECM remodeling when adjacent normal tissue cells are present. An experienced interdisciplinary team consisting of biomechanical engineers, tissue engineers, physicians, and pathologists has been assembled to conduct these studies. Two consultants, including a leader in the field of regenerative medicine and a statistician, will support this effort. A timeline for completion of these studies, hypotheses to drive the specific aims, alternative approaches for completion of the work, and quantitative criteria for success are provided.

再生医学方法重建缺失或受伤的组织和器官的方法涉及使用脚手架，细胞和生物活性分子。用细胞接种的生物支架的使用是一种常见的方法，几种应用已成功地转化为临床医学，包括较低的泌尿道，胃肠道，肌肉座和皮肤皮肤再生。指导组织重塑和再生的原理仅被部分理解，但是生物力学负载对重塑过程的影响被接受为重要变量。但是，几乎完全没有系统的定量研究来确定该可控因素对组织重塑的影响，尤其是具有平滑肌壁成分的组织。本提案寻求支持进行定量的，假设驱动的研究，该研究决定了机械负荷在体外和体内对平滑肌表型的影响，以及与脚底脚手架结构的相关变化。源自猪泌尿膀胱的细胞外基质（ECM）的生物支架将与来自不同来源的平滑肌细胞接种：血管壁，膀胱和食道。这些器官特异性机械载荷方案对重塑过程的影响以及通过更改机械载荷模式调节重塑过程的能力。描述了两个具体目的：1）将对三种不同类型的平滑肌接种的ECM受到精心选择的机械负载方案的影响，并且将对细胞表型和基质组织的影响进行定量评估，2）两种平滑肌细胞类型将在细胞培养模型（Rat bladder Wall）中评估ECM的ECM对ECM的效果进行效应。一支由生物力学工程师，组织工程师，医师和病理学家组成的经验丰富的跨学科团队已组成，以进行这些研究。两名顾问，包括再生医学领域的领导者和统计学家，将支持这一努力。这些研究的时间表是推动特定目标，完成工作的替代方法以及成功的定量标准的假设。
