Abstract: Multicellular microtissues of primary human hepatocytes (PHHs) co-cultured with other supporting cell types are a promising model for drug screening and toxicological studies. However, these liver microtissues (LMs) rapidly lose their functions
during ex vivo culture. Here, in order to mimic the cellular and structural hepatic microenvironment, we co-cultured PHHs
with human mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in the presence of
cell-sized microparticles (MPs) derived from liver extracellular matrix (LEMPs). The microwell culture platform enabled
biofabrication of size-controlled multicellular microtissues (PHH:HUVEC:MSC=3:2:1) with efcient LEMP incorporation (about 70% at a 2:1 ratio of cells:MP). The biofabricated liver microtissues (BLMs) were cultured ex vivo for 14 days
and compared to the cell-only LM in terms of gene and protein expression, functional activity, cytochrome P450 (CYP450)
enzyme inducibility, and drug sensitivity. The results supported superior hepatic-related gene expression, functional activity, and polarity for PHH in BLM compared to LM. CYP450 enzyme inducibility and dose-responsive sensitivity to toxic
drugs were signifcantly higher in the BLM group. In conclusion, microtissue engineering by incorporation of tissue-specifc
microparticles within a multicellular microtissue can ofer some advantages for drug discovery studies and cell transplantation applications. In the near future, this approach could generate a scalable platform of several functional biofabricated
microtissues representing diferent organs.
