In this study we produced a set ofin vitroculture platforms to model vascular cell responses to growth factors and factor delivery vehicles. Two of the systems (whole vessel and whole lung vascular development) were supported by microfluidic systems facilitating media circulation and waste removal. We assessed vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) delivery by Pluronic F-127 hydrogel, 30 nm pore-sized microparticles (MPs), 60 nm pore-sized MP or a 50/50 mixture of 30 and 60 nm pore-sized MP. VEGF was delivered to porcine acellular lung vascular scaffolds (2.5 cm2square pieces or whole 3D segments of acellular blood vessels) as well as whole acellular lung scaffolds. Scaffold-cell attachment was examined as was vascular tissue formation. We showed that a 50/50 mixture of 30 and 60 nm pore-sized silicon wafer MPs allowed for long-term release of VEGF within the scaffold vasculature and supported vascular endothelial tissue development duringin vitroculture.
