Novel biomaterials can be used to provide a better environment for cross talk between vessel forming endothelial cells and wound healing instructor stem cells for tissue regeneration. This study seeks to investigate if a collagen scaffold containing a proangiogenic gene encoding for the chemokine stromal-derived factor-1 alpha (SDF-1α GAS) could be used to enhance functional responses in a coculture of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and human adipose-derived stem/stromal cells (ADSCs). Functional responses were determined by (1) monitoring the amount of junctional adhesion molecule VE-cadherin released during 14 days culture, (2) expression of provasculogenic genes on the 14th day, and (3) the bioactivity of secreted factors on neurogenic human Schwann cells. When we compared our SDF-1α GAS with a gene-free scaffold, the results showed positive proangiogenic determination characterized by a transient yet controlled release of the VE-cadherin. On the 14th day, the coculture on the SDF-1α GAS showed enhanced maturation than its gene-free equivalent through the elevation of provasculogenic genes (SDF-1α-7.4-fold, CXCR4-1.5-fold, eNOS-1.5-fold). Furthermore, we also found that the coculture on SDF-1α GAS secretes bioactive factors that significantly (p < 0.01) enhanced human Schwann cells' clustering to develop toward Bünger band-like structures. Conclusively, this study reports that SDF-1α GAS could be used to produce a bioactive vascularized construct through the enhancement of the cooperative effects between endothelial cells and ADSCs.
