* Biomanufacturing of Axon-Based Tissue Engineered Nerve Grafts Using Porcine GalSafe Neurons.
- Existing strategies for repair of major peripheral nerve injury (PNI) are inefficient at promoting axon regeneration and functional recovery and are generally ineffective for nerve lesions >5 cm. To address this need, we have previously developed tissue engineered nerve grafts (TENGs) through the process of axon stretch growth. TENGs consist of living, centimeter-scale, aligned axon tracts that accelerate axon regeneration at rates equivalent to the gold standard autograft in small and large animal models of PNI, by providing a newfound mechanism-of-action referred to as axon-facilitated axon regeneration (AFAR). To enable clinical-grade biomanufacturing of TENGs, a suitable cell source that is hypoimmunogenic, exhibits low batch-to-batch variability, and able to tolerate axon stretch growth must be utilized. To fulfill these requirements, a genetically engineered, FDA-approved, xenogeneic cell source, GalSafe® neurons, produced by Revivicor, Inc., have been selected to advance TENG biofabrication for eventual clinical use. To this end, sensory and motor neurons were harvested from genetically engineered GalSafe day 40 swine embryos, cultured in custom mechanobioreactors, and axon tracts were successfully stretch-grown to 5 cm within 25 days. Importantly, both sensory and motor GalSafe neurons were observed to tolerate established axon stretch growth regimes of ≥1 mm/day to produce continuous, healthy axon tracts spanning 1, 3, or 5 cm. Once stretch-grown, 1 cm GalSafe TENGs were transplanted into a 1 cm lesion in the sciatic nerve of athymic rats. Regeneration was assessed through histological measures at the terminal time point of 2 and 8 weeks. Neurons from GalSafe TENGs survived and elicited AFAR as observed when using wild-type TENGs. At 8 weeks postrepair, myelinated regenerated axons were observed in the nerve section distal to the injury site, confirming axon regeneration across the lesion. These experiments are the first to demonstrate successful harvest and axon stretch growth of GalSafe neurons for use as starting biomass for bioengineered nerve grafts as well as initial safety and efficacy in an established preclinical model-important steps for the advancement of clinical-grade TENGs for future regulatory testing and eventual clinical trials. Impact statement Biofabrication of tissue engineered medical products requires several steps, one of which is choosing a suitable starting biomass. To this end, we have shown that the clinical-grade, genetically engineered biomass-GalSafe® neurons-is a viable option for biomanufacturing of our tissue engineered nerve grafts (TENGs) to promote regeneration following major peripheral nerve injury. Importantly, this is a first step in clinical-grade TENG biofabrication, proving that GalSafe TENGs recapitulate the mechanism of axon-facilitated axon regeneration seen previously with research-grade TENGs.
