The field of tissue engineering seeks to create metabolically demanding, functional tissues, which will require blood vessel networks capable of forming rapidly in a variety of extracellular matrix (ECM) environments. We tested whether human endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) and mesenchymal progenitor cells (MPCs) could form microvascular networks in type I collagen, fibrin, and an engineered peptide hydrogel, PuraMatrix, in 7 days in vivo in immune-deficient mice. These results are compared to those previously published, based on the Matrigel ECM. Perfused blood vessels formed in all three types of ECM within 7 days. Collagen at 5 and 6 mg/mL and 10 mg/mL fibrin supported vessel formation at 30–60 vessels/mm2, and PuraMatrix enabled vessel formation to 160 vessels/mm2, significantly greater than collagen or fibrin. Vessels were composed of EPCs with perivascular cells on their abluminal surfaces. EPCs injected alone formed a low density of blood vessels in collagen and PuraMatrix, while MPCs injected alone resulted in sparse vessel networks in all ECMs tested. A rheometer was used to determine whether the ECMs which supported vascularization had bulk physical properties similar or distinct from Matrigel. Collagen and fibrin were the stiffest matrices to support extensive vascularization, with storage moduli from 385–510 Pa, while Matrigel, at 80 Pa, and PuraMatrix, at 5 Pa, were far more compliant. Thus, EPCs and MPCs were capable of vasculogenesis in environments having disparate physical properties, although vascular density was greater in more compliant ECMs. We propose that EPC/MPC-mediated vascularization is a versatile technology which may enable development of engineered organs.
