The surface zone of articular cartilage is the first area impacted by cartilage defects, commonly resulting in osteoarthritis. Chondrocytes in the surface zone of articular cartilage synthesize and secrete lubricin, a proteoglycan that functions as a lubricant protecting the deeper layers from shear stress. Notably, 3D bioprinting is a tissue engineering technique that uses cells encapsulated in biomaterials to fabricate 3D constructs. Gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) is a frequently used biomaterial for 3D bioprinting cartilage. Oxidized methacrylated alginate (OMA) is a chemically modified alginate designed for its tunable degradation rate and mechanical properties. To determine an optimal combination of GelMA and OMA for lubricin expression, we used our novel high-throughput human articular chondrocyte reporter system. Primary human chondrocytes were transduced with PRG4 (lubricin) promoter-driven Gaussia luciferase, allowing for temporal assessment of lubricin expression. A lubricin expression-driven Design of Experiment screen and subsequent validation identified 14% GelMA/2% OMA for further study. Therefore, DoE optimized 14% GelMA/2% OMA, 14% GelMA control, and 16% GelMA (total solid content control) were 3D bioprinted. The combination of lubricin protein expression and shape retention over the 22 days in culture, successfully determined the 14% GelMA/2%OMA to be the optimal formulation for lubricin secretion. This strategy allows for rapid analysis of the role(s) of biomaterial composition, stiffness or other cell manipulations on lubricin expression by chondrocytes, which may improve therapeutic strategies for cartilage regeneration.
