Injectable pH Thermo-Responsive Hydrogel Scaffold for Tumoricidal Neural Stem Cell Therapy for Glioblastoma Multiforme
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common malignant brain tumor in adults and despite recent advances in treatment modalities, GBM remains incurable. Injectable hydrogel scaffolds are a versatile delivery system that can improve delivery of drug and cell therapeutics for GBM. In this report,...

description | Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common malignant brain tumor in adults and despite recent advances in treatment modalities, GBM remains incurable. Injectable hydrogel scaffolds are a versatile delivery system that can improve delivery of drug and cell therapeutics for GBM. In this report, we investigated an injectable nanocellulose/chitosan-based hydrogel scaffold for neural stem cell encapsulation and delivery. Hydrogels were prepared using thermogelling beta-glycerophosphate (BGP) and hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC), chitosan (CS), and cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs). We evaluated the impact of neural stem cells on hydrogel gelation kinetics, microstructures, and degradation. Furthermore, we investigated the biomaterial effects on cell viability and functionality. We demonstrated that the incorporation of cells at densities of 1, 5 and 10 million does not significantly impact rheological and physical properties CS scaffolds. However, addition of CNCs significantly prolonged hydrogel degradation when cells were seeded at 5 and 10 million per 1 mL hydrogel. In vitro cell studies demonstrated high cell viability, release of TRAIL at therapeutic concentrations, and effective tumor cell killing within 72 h. The ability of these hydrogel scaffolds to support stem cell encapsulation and viability and maintain stem cell functionality makes them an attractive cell delivery system for local treatment of post-surgical cancers. |
