Description
[0001]Attorney Docket No.: 206161-0059-00WO TITLE OF THE INVENTION INTERPENETRATING POLYMER NETWORK AND COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application claims priority to and the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 63 / 519,682, filed August 15, 2023, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference herewith in its entirety. STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT This invention was made with government support under Grant no. R01 CA241927 awarded by the National Institutes of Health. The government has certain rights in the invention. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Glioblastoma (GBM), a grade IV astrocytoma, is a highly aggressive brain cancer with a median survival time of only 15 months (Desland et al., 2020, International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 21:7358; Baid et al., 2020, Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 14). Current standard of treatment includes resection of the solid tumor followed by treatment with temozolomide (TMZ) and radiation therapy. Due to the tumor location, surgeons must minimize areas that they resect (Fernandes et al., 2017, Codon Publications, 197-241). Thus, after resection, diffusively invading cells are left behind. These cells are believed to seed recurrent tumors and be treatment resistant (Lee et al., 2017, Onco Targets and Therapy, 10:265-270). For these reasons, treatment often fails to fully eliminate GBM cells leading to recurrence of treatment-resistant tumors in nearly all GBM patients. Diffusively invading single cells that migrate from the tumor periphery are believed to be responsible for recurrent tumors. GBM, unlike many other cancers, rarely metastasizes outside the brain, indicating a preference for the mechanics and composition of brain tissue (Lun et al., 2011, Journal of Neuro- Oncology, 105:261-73). The mechanics of the extracellular matrix (ECM) can influence a variety of cellular behaviors, including migration and proliferation (Lie at al., 2021, Acta Biomaterialia, 131:326-340). Most studies, which have investigated how ECM mechanical properties affect Attorney Docket No.: 206161-0059-00WO GBM cells, have used purely elastic biomaterial-based environments with a single elasticity. Native tissues display viscoelastic properties, which is often not captured in in vitro cell culture models. Thus, developing a viscoelastic hydrogel to identify how the mechanics of the ECM contribute to GBM cell migration in a more physiologically relevant model is needed. Brain ECM is soft and viscoelastic, allowing it to exhibit liquid and solid-like behaviors on different time scales (Staunton et al., 2019, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 116:14448-14455; Calhoun et al., 2019, ACS Biomaterials Science & Engineering, 5:3964- 3973). The mechanical properties of the brain are known to influence the phenotype of the cells that reside in the brain. For example, the viscoelasticity of the ECM regulates cellular processes, such as growth, proliferation, cell differentiation, and migration (Staunton et al., 2019, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 116:14448-14455; Chaudhuri et al., 2017, Biomaterials Science, 5:1480-1490; Slater et al., 2021, Soft Matter, 17:10274-10285; Lou et al., 2018, Biomaterials, 154:213-222). Conventional 3D in vitro hydrogel models do not account for the viscoelastic nature of the brain, instead they often focus only on the elastic modulus (Umesh et al., 2014, PLoS ONE, 9:e101771; Marhuenda et al., 2021, Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research, 40:139; Ulrich et al., 2009, Cancer Research, 69:4167-4174; Xiao et al., 2018, Cancer Research, 78:1358-1370; Mekhdjian et al., 2017, Molecular biology of the cell, 28:1467- 1488). Most models utilize single polymer networks, which do not allow for the ability to tune the elasticity (G’) independently of the viscosity (G”). In these models, cell function is often altered, leading to results that may not be physiologically relevant. The lack of conclusive results on migratory behavior may be due to models not capturing the viscosity on which cells rely. Therefore, viscoelastic materials are needed to accurately capture the mechanics of biological tissues. Existing viscoelastic models use materials that are either not compatible for cell studies or not biologically relevant, do not have temporal control over when the network forms, or are unable to capture the range of mechanical properties to recapitulate soft tissues. Thus, there is a need in the art for compositions having orthogonally tunable elasticity and viscosity properties for modeling various organs, organoids, tissues, and / or tumors of interest. The present invention addresses this unmet need.

EXPERIMENTAL EXAMPLES The invention is now described with reference to the following Examples. These Examples are provided for the purpose of illustration only and the invention should in no way be construed as being limited to these Examples, but rather should be construed to encompass any and all variations which become evident as a result of the teaching provided herein. Without further description, it is believed that one of ordinary skill in the art can, using the preceding description and the following illustrative examples, make and utilize the compounds of the present invention and practice the claimed methods. The following working examples therefore and are not to be construed as limiting in any way the remainder of the disclosure. Example 1: Interpenetrating Polymer Network (IPN) Composed of Two Hyaluronic Acid (HA)- Based Polymer Networks The interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) is composed of two hyaluronic acid-based polymer networks for the purpose of modeling the cellular mechanical microenvironment. This IPN has independently tunable storage and loss moduli which allow users to tune the mechanical Attorney Docket No.: 206161-0059-00WO properties of the material to better mimic the viscoelastic nature of human tissue. The majority of cell microenvironment models do not allow for the independent tuning of mechanical properties. The most widely used materials for microenvironment models can only modulate the storage modulus, while the loss modulus is often ignored. Native tissues are not purely elastic, but have viscoelastic properties. Similarly, the herein described IPN allows users to independently tune the storage and loss moduli of the material to utilize two distinct polymer solutions, which do not interact with each other (Figure 1). This results a material that has viscoelastic properties, which can be tuned to represent the material properties of various biological tissues. This material / method is valuable for controlling cell behavior for therapeutic purposes and generating engineered tissues outside of the body. The herein described studies tested various hydrogel compositions, such as the ones depicted in Table 1. Table 1: Representative Hydrogel Compositions. Hydrogel Polymer Components: 0.5 wt% hyaluronic acid (HA), 0.5 mM aldehyde (CHO), 0.25mM arginylglycylaspartic acid (RGD), and varying thiol (SH) and norbornene content to adjust G’. *Assuming 5% thiolation of HA.

The storage modulus (G’) and viscoelasticity (tan (^) (loss modulus (G”) / G’)) of each condition was tested using a frequency sweep from 0.1-1 HZ with 1% strain at 37 °C (Figure 3). The storage modulus of the soft single network gels was 210 Pa and 230 Pa for the soft IPN, while the modulus of the stiff single gel conditions was 900 Pa and 960 for the stiff IPN. The soft and stiff IPNs displayed a fourfold and threefold increase in tan ^, respectively, compared to the Attorney Docket No.: 206161-0059-00WO single networks alone, while maintaining the same G’ indicating that the addition of the second network enabled independent tuning of viscosity. The hydrogels then underwent stress relaxation tests at 10% strain for 30 minutes and at 20% strain for 1 hr (Figure 4). Each gel’s modulus overtime was normalized to its initial modulus. As shown in Figure 4, IPN hydrogels exhibited faster stress relaxation compared to a single network. After 30 minutes the IPN conditions relaxed to roughly 50% of their initial modulus while the single network gels only relaxed about 25%. Representative results of stress relaxation of soft single network and soft IPN at 1 hr and the standard curve of aldehyde concentrations were also evaluated (Figure 5 and Figure 6). Next, microindentation was conducted to determine the Young’s modulus (E) of each gel condition. Gels underwent 200 um compression at room temperature and the corresponding force for compression was calculated. The soft single network had a Young’s modulus of 2500 Pa, while the soft IPN was 2800 Pa (Figure 7). The stiff single network had a modulus of 5200 Pa while the stiff IPN had a modulus of 6100 Pa. Following gelation, hydrogels were weighed, then swelled in PBS at room temperature overnight and weighed again. As shown in Figure 8, the IPN conditions swelled significantly more than the single network gels. To assess diffusion rates, hydrogels were swollen in 10 uM / mL 70kDa FITC-Dextran or 150 kDa FITC-Dextran in the dark overnight (Figure 9). Hydrogels were then bleached for 3 minutes with 100% laser intensity. Fluorescent recovery was recorded for 20 minutes (step size 2.575s). Fluorescent recovery was calculated using ImageJ. The time that it took for the fluorescent recovery to reach 50% (t1 / 2) was compared for each group. There were no significant differences within stiffness conditions. Due to the reversibility of the non-covalent hydrazone bonds in the IPN, further studies focused on the evaluation of the printability of these materials (Figure 10). Soft IPN precursor solution and soft single network solution (no UV crosslinking) were loaded into the Bio X6 bioprinter from CellInk. The pneumatic 3 mL printhead with a 22 gauge printing nozzle was used (0.410 mm) and precursor solutions were printed with a pressure of 25 kPa and a speed of 8 mm / s onto a glass slide. The viscosity of the single network solution was not viscous enough, and it did not form any lines. Lastly, IPNs ability to support glioblastoma (GBM) cell lines was evaluated (Figure 11). Attorney Docket No.: 206161-0059-00WO Patient derived primary GBM cell lines, HK177 and GS54 were used for the GBM study. An EdU assay was used to determine the fraction of cells proliferating in each hydrogel condition 3 days after encapsulation. Cells were incubated with EdU for 4 hr then EdU+ cells were measured using flow cytometry. Proliferation rates among conditions were normalized by day. HK177 cells in both IPN stiffness conditions had higher proliferation rates compared to the single network while there were no statistical differences for GS54. In conclusion, existing models that allow for tuning of the storage and loss modulus use materials that cells are unable to naturally interact with. With the use of HA in the herein described studies, both networks of IPN are biologically relevant, which allow cells to interact with the model. Most microenvironmental models are primarily elastic with storage moduli in the 10-1000 kPa range. However, many biological tissues, such as the brain, have a much lower storage modulus and distinct viscous properties, making cell studies in these systems not biologically relevant. With the use of photoreactive crosslinks, the storage moduli can be finely tuned and generate networks with moduli as low as 100 Pa. Other models utilize materials, which begin to crosslink when reagents are mixed (on the order of seconds to minutes), reduces the ability to work with the prepolymer solution before crosslinking occurs. The use of photoreactive crosslinks allows for temporal control over the formation of this IPN. This permits time to thoroughly mix solutions together and disperse material before crosslinking. In addition, this approach places bioactive moieties on both polymer networks, so that cells can interface with either or both networks depending on the user’s needs. The IPNs described herein can be used in a wide range of cell studies and tissue engineering applications. The storage modulus is controlled by an elastic network formed from static photoreactive crosslinks between thiol and norbornene groups. HA is modified to contain thiol groups. The loss modulus is controlled by a viscous network generated through the formation of hydrazone bonds between hydrazines and aldehydes. These bonds are reversible, generating the viscous portion of the network. In this network, HA can also be modified to contain hydrazine groups. To control the storage modulus of the network, intensity of the UV light source can be adjusted which modifies the static crosslinks that can form. The loss modulus is controlled through the ratios of aldehydes to hydrazines added together. The IPN utilized dynamic bonds in the one network, which have self-healing abilities, Attorney Docket No.: 206161-0059-00WO allowing to easily print material or disperse solution into molds (Figure 10). The other network contains photoreactive static crosslinks, which allows to fully crosslink the material when desired. This IPN utilizes HA in both networks making it biologically relevant. Previous IPNs that use HA have only used it in one network, meaning cells may only interact with only one network. This method can be useful for basic cell culture as it can adjust the mechanical properties to best capture the microenvironment that matches that of the cell type. This IPN can also be used in bioprinting, as the viscous network is shear thinning and the elastic network is crosslinked via UV light exposure. Example 2: Mimicking the Viscoelastic Nature of Brain Tissue Using a Hyaluronic Acid (HA)- Based IPN Brain tissue is soft and viscoelastic. The mechanical properties of the brain are known to influence the phenotype of the cells that reside in the brain. Conventional 3D in vitro hydrogel models do not account for the viscoelastic nature of the brain, instead they often focus only on the elastic modulus. Most models utilize single polymer networks which do not allow for the ability to tune the elasticity (G’) independently of the viscosity (G”). Using a HA-based IPN, the viscoelastic properties of the hydrogel were tuned independently from each other allowing for a model that better matches the mechanical properties of native brain tissue. A static network consisting of chemically crosslinked thiolated HA controlled the elasticity of the material, while a dynamic network of physically crosslinked HA-hydrazone bonds regulated the viscosity. With the addition of the dynamic network, the viscoelasticity (tan ^) of the IPN increased threefold while maintaining the same storage modulus (G’) of the static single network. The IPN hydrogels displayed enhanced stress relaxation, reducing to half their initial modulus after 1 hr compared to less than a third reduction in the static single network. With the addition of a viscous network, this IPN model was a better representation of the mechanics of native brain tissue and is used for the study of the neural extracellular microenvironment and its relationship to cell behavior. Example 3: IPN Containing PEG As shown in Table 2 through Table 8, IPNs containing PEG were also generated. Attorney Docket No.: 206161-0059-00WO Representative hydrogel compositions comprising PEG are shown in Table 2 and Table 3.3 mM PEG-SH resulted in soft IPN whereas 4 mM PEG-SH yielded stiff IPN (Table 4 and Table 5). The resulting soft and stiff IPNs were then compared to soft and stiff single networks containing 1.5 mM PEG-SH and 3 mM PEG-SH, respectively (Table 6 and Table 7). Lastly, Table 8 demonstrates that PEG-CHO has been functionalized with an RGD peptide (via imine bond).

Current standard of treatment includes resection of the solid tumor followed by treatment with temozolomide (TMZ) and radiation therapy. However, treatment often fails to fully eliminate GBM cells leading to recurrence of treatment-resistant tumors in nearly all GBM patients. Diffusively invading single cells that migrate from the tumor periphery are believed to be responsible for recurrent tumors. It is currently unclear what drives the migratory behavior of these cells. Identifying characteristics and potential targets of this cell population is critical for addressing and combating GBM recurrence. There is a need for improved experimental models that capture the entire mechanical environment of GBM tumors, as mechanics of the tumor contribute to a wide range of oncogenic behaviors, including enhanced migratory capabilities of single cells. GBM cells respond to a variety of migratory cues from the tumor microenvironment, including tissue mechanics. Most studies which have investigated how Attorney Docket No.: 206161-0059-00WO extracellular matrix (ECM) mechanical properties affect GBM cells have used purely elastic biomaterial-based environments with a single elasticity. It is unclear how the mechanical transition at the tumor periphery and from tumor core to edge contributes to the invasive capabilities of GBM cells. Using a hydrogel platform with photoreactive crosslinks, the elasticity of the mechanical environment can be varied to achieve elasticity similar to native tumor and peritumoral tissue. GBM tumors display heterogeneity, leading many to hypothesize that there is a distinct migratory subpopulation. While some have attempted to characterize these cells, it believed that they represent a small portion of the tumor, leading to their transcriptome being masked in bulk RNA sequencing. By varying hydrogel elasticity, the migratory subpopulation can be isolated and characterized separately from the non-migratory cells. Native tissues display viscoelastic properties which is often not captured in in vitro cell culture models. Developing a viscoelastic hydrogel will identify how the mechanics of the ECM contribute to GBM cell migration in a more physiologically relevant model. GBM cell migration along the mechanical landscape of the tumor is not well understood. It remains unclear the extent to which transcriptomic differences dictate adoption of a migratory phenotype and how the mechanics of the microenvironment influence invasive capabilities. Migration is assessed using a hydrogel model of the tumor-brain interface which has two adjacent regions of distinct elasticities, each matching either the elasticity of native tumor or peritumoral brain tissue. Migration is assessed from tumor core to edge with the use of a gradient photomask to produce a hydrogel with gradually decreasing degrees of crosslinking and, thus, stiffnesses. Migrating cells are isolated, characterized using single cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq), and their transcriptome is compared to that of the non-migratory population. The two populations are treated with TMZ and radiation to assess how standard treatment affects migratory ability and acquisition of drug resistance. Most in vitro GBM cell models fail to capture the viscoelasticity of brain tumor and tissue, only capturing the elasticity. Viscosity has been shown to regulate many cellular functions, including migration, independently of elasticity. An IPN was constructed to allow for the combination of two distinct, non-reacting, yet non-separable, polymer networks. The IPN is comprised of a viscous network, which controls the loss modulus, and an elastic network, which controls the storage modulus. Two separate gel precursor solutions are generated and mixed to form the IPN. For the viscous gel, HA is functionalized with adipic acid dihydrazide (ADH). Attorney Docket No.: 206161-0059-00WO HA-ADH is then crosslinked with PEG-aldehyde. The viscosity is tuned using dynamic hydrazone crosslinks, which un-crosslinks with forces exerted by cells. The elasticity is controlled with thiol-norbornene photopolymerization which generates static crosslinks. Cells are encapsulated in the IPN, and their phenotype and migratory abilities is assessed. The results from this study provide insight into how the mechanical environment affects GBM cell migration and overall function. Single-cell transcriptomics is used to reveal molecular differences within a GBM tumor. Combined, these results provide a framework for potential therapeutic targets in a relevant 3D model. GBM is the most common malignant primary brain tumor (Desland et al., 2020, International journal of molecular sciences, 21(19):7358). GBM has a poor prognosis with median survival time of 15 months (Baid et al., 2020, Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 14). Resection of the primary tumor is typically the first treatment step. However, due to the tumor location, surgeons must minimize areas that they resect (Fernandes et al., 2017, Codon Publications, 197-241). GBM cells are known to be highly invasive as single cells. Thus, after resection, diffusively invading cells are left behind. These cells are believed to seed recurrent tumors and be treatment resistant, leading to GBM recurrence (Lee CY, 2017, OncoTargets and Therapy, 10:265-70). Using a novel 3D culture platform including patient-derived GBM cells, migratory subpopulations are characterized in response to changes in the mechanical environment and an improved model is generated with the introduction of a viscous component to better reflect in vivo conditions and model GBM cell migration. GBM tumors are known to be highly heterogenous (Patel et al., 2014, Science, 344(6190):1396-401). The transcriptome of the highly migratory population is believed to be different from that of the tumor bulk (Minata et al., 2019, Cell Rep., 26(7):1893-905; Li et al., 2020, Neuro-Oncology Advances, 2(1)). However, bulk RNA sequencing may fail to capture differences between the two subpopulations (Chen et al., 2018, Carcinogenesis, 39(7):931-6). The invasive and resistant nature of the migratory population make them extremely relevant to study as a potential target for treatment. ScRNAseq is used to characterize the transcriptome of migratory and non-migratory subpopulations of patient-derived primary GBM tumor cells to reveal intrinsic differences between these subpopulations. ClonMapper cell barcoding connects individual barcodes with specific cell phenotypes, allowing specific cell lineages under various conditions to be studied (Gutierrez et al., 2021, Nat Cancer, 2(7):758-72). Attorney Docket No.: 206161-0059-00WO GBM, unlike many other cancers, rarely metastasizes outside the brain, indicating a preference for the mechanics and composition of brain tissue (Lun et al., 2011, Journal of Neuro- Oncology, 105(2):261-73). The mechanics of the ECM can influence a variety of cellular behaviors, including migration and proliferation (Liu et al., 2021, Acta Biomaterialia.131:326- 40). GBM tumors are mechanically stiffer than the surrounding tissue due to increased deposition of fibrous components such as fibronectin and collagen produced by GBM cells (Umesh et al., 2014, PLoS ONE, l9(7):e101771; Lopez et al., 2011, Integrative Biology, 3(9):910-21, Mahesparan et al., 2003, Acta Neuropathologica, 105(1):49-57; Payne et al., 2013, Molecular Cancer Research, 11(10):1129-40). The change in stiffness from tumor to peritumoral brain tissue is hypothesized to drive migration and oncogenic gene expression (Nguyen et al., 2016, Integrative Biology, 8(12):1232-45; Shivashankar GV, 2011, Annual Review of Biophysics, 40(1):361-78). Much of the previous research conducted on mechanics and migration is conflicting. Many studies have reported that in stiff 3D models, GBM cells fail to become migratory with enhanced migration in soft matrices (Grundy et al., 2016, Scientific Reports, 6(1):23353; Wang et al., 2014, Molecular Pharmaceutics, 11(7):2115-25), while others have found the converse to be true (Umesh et al., 2014, PLoS ONE, 9(7):e101771; Pathak et al., 2011, PNAS, 109(26)10334-10339; Palamà et al., 2019, Cancers, 11(5):643). Most studies focus on how ECM mechanical properties affect cells. However, it is unclear how the stiffness transition at the tumor edge and from core to edge affect GBM cells and their migratory behavior. Brain ECM is a viscoelastic material, allowing it to exhibit liquid and solid-like behaviors on different time scales (Staunton et al., 2019, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 116(29):14448-55; Calhoun et al., 2019, ACS Biomaterials Science & Engineering, 5(8):3964- 73). The viscoelasticity of the ECM regulates cellular processes such as growth, proliferation, cell differentiation, and migration (Staunton et al., 2019, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 116(29):14448-55; Chaudhuri O, 2017, Biomaterials Science, 5(8):1480-90; Slater et al., 2021, Soft Matter, 17(45):10274-85; Lou et al., 2018, Biomaterials, 154:213-22). Most in vitro cell models do not account for the viscous properties of tissues, only capturing the elasticity (Umesh et al., 2014, PLoS ONE, 9(7):e101771; Pathak et al., 2011, PNAS, 109(26)10334- 10339; Marhuenda et al., 2021, Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research, 40(1):139; Ulrich et al., 2009, Cancer research, 69(10):4167-74; Xiao et al., 2018, Cancer Research, Attorney Docket No.: 206161-0059-00WO 78(5):1358-70, Mekhdjian et al., 2017 Molecular biology of the cell, 28(11):1467-88). In these models, cell function is often altered, leading to results that may not be physiologically relevant. The lack of conclusive results on migratory behavior may be due to models not capturing the viscosity on which cells rely. Using dynamic crosslinks, which are reversible, viscoelastic hydrogels are generated to promote cells to function in a more physiological relevant manner (Chaudhuri O, 2017, Biomaterials Science, 5(8):1480-90; Chaudhuri et al., 2016, Nat Mater, 15(3):326-34; Tong et al., 2021, Bioactive Materials, 6(5):1375-87). The project is innovative as it focuses on characterizing the migratory subpopulation of patient-derived GBM tumor cells in response to ECM mechanical changes on a single-cell level. This project reveals the transcriptomic differences in the migratory populations, providing insight into potential targets to prevent this population from invading surrounding tissue. Most studies characterizing migratory behavior are largely focused on bulk RNA sequencing, which fails to capture the heterogeneity of GBM tumors (Vollmann-Zwerenz et al., 2020, Int J Mol Sci, 21(6)). Here, ScRNAseq is used to identify transcriptomic differences of a small subpopulation. Tissue-engineered platforms with varying elasticities capture the mechanical landscape of a tumor. Tumor tissue is more elastic than the surrounding tissue, with decreasing elasticity from core to edge to peri-tumoral brain tissue. This change in mechanics is believed be a driver of cell migration (Wang et al., 2014, Molecular Pharmaceutics, 11(7):2115-25; Zhu D, et al., 2021, Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part A, 109(6):1027-1035; Sunyer et al., 2012, PLoS ONE, 7(10)). Adjusting the elasticity provides insight into the role of mechanosensing in GBM migration as well as allowing for the separation of the migratory population from the tumor bulk. At the tumor interface cells encounter a sharp change in ECM elasticity, while the transition from core to edge is believed to be a shallower gradient (Miroshnikova et al., 2016, Nat Cell Biol, 18(12):1336-45; Fløgstad et al., 2022, European Journal of Radiology, 147:110136). It is currently unclear how the rate of change in elasticity mediates GBM phenotype and migratory abilities. Investigating the effect of standard treatment on the migratory populations reveals insight into resistance and secondary tumor formation. The invasion of single cells left behind after surgical resection is a barrier in the treatment of GBM as there are no direct treatments for the invasive cell population (Seker-Polat et al., 2022, Cancers.2022;14(2); Cha et al., 2016, Scientific Reports, 6(1):24912). Some studies have found that following resection and treatment, Attorney Docket No.: 206161-0059-00WO many of the migratory cells left behind gain resistance and become more aggressive, however, the underlying mechanisms is largely unknown (Ramirez et al., 2013, Pharmaceuticals, 6(12); Canazza et al., 2011, Cancer Biol Ther, 1;12(7):629-33; Okolie et al., 2016, Neuro Oncol, 18(12):1622-1633; Armento et al., 2017, Codon Publications, 73-93; Shankar et al., 2014, Chin J Cancer, 33(3):148-58). By isolating the two populations from each other, their response to treatment and acquisition to drug resistance is can be evaluated separately, providing insight into how and which GBM tumor cells gain resistance and form recurrent tumors. Elasticity is not the only mechanical driver of cell migration. The lack of appropriate viscoelastic platforms to model the mechanics of brain ECM hinders meaningful studies on GBM behavior. Stress relaxation, a property of viscoelasticity, has been shown to modulate cell behavior, with fast relaxation times associated with increase cell spreading, proliferation, and differentiation (Lou et al., 2018, Biomaterials, 154:213-222; Chaudhuri et al., 2016, Nat Mater, 15(3):326-34). Therefore, a novel hydrogel system with orthogonally tunable elasticity and viscosity is developed to study cell behavior in a more physiologically relevant model. An IPN comprised of two distinct non-separable networks is constructed (Sperlinget al., 2014, Polymer blends handbook: Springer, 677-724). For many previously constructed IPNs, the fabrication process is not compatible with cells (use of strong acids) (Li et al., 2020, Carbohydrate Polymers, 250:116922), not biologically relevant (use of alginate and gelatin) (Vining et al., 2019, Biomaterials, 188:187-97; Chen et al., 2017, AIMS Mater Sci, 4(2)), doesn’t capture mechanical ranges desired (Mattei et al., 2020, Materials, 13(2):438), or fabrication of one or both networks does not allow for thorough mixing due to gelation time (Jansen et al., 2018, Acta Biomaterialia,70:120-8). Hydrazone bonds are reversible, exhibiting stress relaxation behavior on a time scale from a minute to hours, meaning fabrication can be adjusted to achieve desired viscoelastic properties (Sharma et al., 2018, ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 10(37):30936- 45; Xu et al., 2019, Molecules, 24(16); Borelli et al.2022, Advanced Healthcare Materials, 11(14):e2200393; Richardson et al., 2019, Acta Biomaterialia, 83:71-82). Hydrazone bonds between hydrazine and aldehyde form rapidly at physiological pH, making them ideal for cell work (Borelli et al.2022, Advanced Healthcare Materials, 11(14):e2200393; Cai et al., 2022, Adv Mater, 34(5):e2106564). Hydrazine is easily functionalized to hyaluronic acid (HA), making it a biologically relevant material for GBM cells. Since hydrazone crosslinks are reversible, a secondary matrix with irreversible crosslinks is introduced to add to matrix stability. Attorney Docket No.: 206161-0059-00WO An IPN using reversable hydrazone bonds is generated to tune the viscosity, and irreversible thiol-norbornene crosslinks, activated by UV light, to tune elasticity. The two prepolymer solutions are mixed thoroughly, before the irreversible bonds are crosslinked, uniformly distributing the reversible and irreversible crosslinks. The IPN is stiff like a tumor but have viscous properties allowing cells to move more easily and remodel their matrix. Diffusely invading cells from the tumor periphery cannot be surgically removed. These highly invasive cells are what drive disease progression and cause secondary tumor formation (Vleeschouwer et al., 2017, Codon Publications, 315-40). The study focuses on migratory populations in GBM that are intrinsically different from the non-migratory populations and the biomolecular differences between these populations using a 3D tissue engineered model. This study provides insight into cell migration, identifying whether GBM cell migration is a property of the cell or due to the mechanics of the ECM. Cell migration is most likely dependent on a combination of the two; however, the role of tumor microenvironment, specifically the ECM in GBM cell migration, is not well understood. The studies improve the understanding of the mechanisms of GBM migration, allowing researchers to develop new therapeutic strategies targeting invasive cell populations. Understanding migratory behavior from tumor core to edge is critical for understanding how infiltrative cells gain resistance to treatment and lead to secondary GBM tumor formation. These studies investigate the role ECM mechanics play in the migratory behavior of GBM. These studies identify if cells gain migratory behavior because of their location at the tumor periphery or if these cells have a different genotypic expression that makes them migratory. ECM elasticity has emerged as a contributor to numerous tumorigenic processes including migration and drug resistance (Bhargav et al., 2022, Frontiers in Oncology, 11). These studies provide insight to the transcriptomic differences between the migratory and non-migratory populations in response to ECM mechanics at the interface of the tumor with brain tissue and from tumor core to edge. The migratory and non-migratory population isolated in these experiments are used to explore the effects of standard treatment on GBM migration. These studies investigate whether the non-migratory subpopulations are essential for the single cell migration behavior seen in the migratory subpopulations, and how GBM treatment (TMZ and radiation) affects the two subpopulations, providing insight about differences in resistance acquisition by these cells. These results provide insight into the connection between ECM Attorney Docket No.: 206161-0059-00WO stiffness, transcriptomic expression, treatment, and how they correlate with migration. Cells at the tumor periphery experience different ECM mechanics to that of the tumor core. ECM elasticity has been shown to influence cell behavior (Liu et al., 2021, Acta Biomaterialia.131:326-40). The change in mechanical properties at the tumor edge is hypothesized to be a driver of migration. These studies use an interface hydrogel platform to mimic the tumor edge, allowing for the isolation of the migratory population and reveal how ECM mechanics influence migration. Using a 3D hydrogel platform, the elasticity of the gel is tuned via photopolymerization to recapitulate tumor edge and peri-tumoral brain tissue. Regional elastic modulus of the hydrogel are evaluated using atomic force microscopy (AFM). At least 2 cell lines of patient- derived primary GBM tumor cells from three GBM subtypes (classical, proneural, and mesenchymal) are used. For each cell line, cells are barcoded using ClonMapper and expanded clonally. This technology enables the isolation and characterization of different cell lineages within the tumor (Gutierrez et al., 2021, Nat Cancer, 2(7):758-72). ScRNAseq is used to connect individual barcodes with different transcriptomic signatures. Barcoded cells are seeded in one side of a hydrogel separated by a mesh and allowed to migrate to the cell-free side over the duration of two weeks. Studies were performed to investigate whether GBM cells preferentially migrate through defined mechanical interfaces. The cells that migrate are isolated, and then characterized via scRNAseq and compared to the transcriptome of the non-migratory population. Using ClonMapper cell barcoding developed in the Brock Lab, cells can be barcoded and clonally expanded to analyze the transcriptome of the migratory and non-migratory populations before and after migration (Gutierrez et al., 2021, Nat Cancer, 2(7):758-72). Briefly, cells are transduced with a single plasmid containing a unique genomic sequence tagged with fluorescent proteins via lentiviral transduction. Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) are used to sort labeled cells. These cells are then clonally expanded, allowing each barcoded cell to generate its own lineage so that each descendant contains that same barcode. Hydrogels are formed by crosslinking thiolated HA (HA-SH, prepared in-house, 750kDa), 4-arm thiolated PEG (PEG-SH, 20 kDa) and an 8-arm norbornene-terminated polyethylene glycol (PEG-Norb, 20 kDa). HA is incorporated into the gel at 0.5% w / v. Previous experiments have shown that at this concentration of cells in culture begin to acquire drug resistance as seen in vivo (Xiao et al., 2018, Cancer Research, 78:1358-1370; Xiao et al., 2017, Attorney Docket No.: 206161-0059-00WO Future Sci OA, 3(3)). Thiol-functionalized RGD peptide is used to facilitate cell-hydrogel attachment. Crosslinking of the gel occurs upon exposure to UV light (~365 nm at 4.15 mW / cm^2 for 15 seconds) and with the addition of lithium phenyl-2,4,6- trimethylbenzoylphosphinate (LAP), a cytocompatible photo-initiator (Dorsey et al., 2018, Bioactive Materials, 3(1):64-73). Using Cellink’s Biox63D bioprinter printer (CELLINK), gel solution and cells are printed into a mold. A thin strip (~2mm) of gel solution and GBM cells sit next to a square gel with no cells present (Figure 12). To adjust gel stiffness, UV exposure time is varied, or a photomask is applied to attenuate UV intensity. The aim is for the soft gel (no cells) and stiff gel (side with cells) to have a Young’s modulus of 100 Pa and 1000 Pa, respectively, to model soft brain and stiff tumor (Miroshnikova et al., 2016, Nat Cell Biol, 18(12):1336-45). Micro-indentation experiments are carried out using AFM to measure local Young’s modulus. Sequencing of the tumor mass is believed to have masked the small migratory subpopulation. In addition, bulk sequencing does not allow analysis of individual barcodes. ScRNAseq is used to compare the migratory and non-migratory populations at the tumor interface. As explained above, the isolated cell is barcoded which will help identify the lineage of the migratory population to reveal if there is a specific population within the tumor that is more migratory. These results provide new information about the migratory subpopulation of GBM at the single-cell level and determine if there is a distinct migratory population within GBM tumors or if the location at the tumor periphery enhances cell migration. The interface hydrogel can also be constructed in a concentric format where the GBM containing hydrogel is encapsulated by a larger empty hydrogel. Similarly, the two regions can be physically separate the with a sterile mesh to separate the migratory cells. Research has indicated that paracrine singling from the tumor core can promote motility and drug resistance of tumor edge cells (Li et al., 2020, Neuro-Oncology Advances, 2(1); Bastola et al., 2020, Nature Communications, 11(1); Nakano et al., 2015, Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology, 40:17-26). These studies aim to understand if presence of the non- migratory populations in GBM tumors is essential for the migration of single cells or if the microenvironment is the driver. The treatment of TMZ and radiation is typically given following tumor resection; however, these treatment options often fail to effectively eliminate the Attorney Docket No.: 206161-0059-00WO remaining tumor cells. Single cells left behind are hypothesized to become to drug resistant, more migratory and form secondary tumors (Oliver et al., 2020, Cancer Drug Resistance, 3(3): 287–301; Wu et al., 2021, Pharmacological Research, 171; Ventero et al., 2019, PLOS ONE, 14(2):e0212581). These studies investigate how the use of TMZ and radiation effect the migratory behavior of GBM cells. The migratory subpopulation having a distinct transcriptome is isolated using their barcodes. These migratory and non-migratory populations are encapsulated in hydrogels separately and their migration patterns in response to treatment are assessed. The migratory and non-migratory subpopulations are encapsulated separately into the stiff and soft hydrogel to determine if both populations of cells are needed to see migratory behavior. These experiments provide information about the interactions between migrating GBM cells and the non-migratory population and provide insight into how cell-cell interactions may influence migratory behavior. The standard treatment of TMZ and radiation are used to investigate treatment and its effects on GBM cells. These studies compare treatment efficacy to prevent cell migration in the two subpopulations alone and when cultured together. TMZ is administered to the cells at concentration IC50 for each cell line in the cell media. Experiments are also run to determine the utility of radiation on GBM cells. Some research has indicated that use of radiation may promote an invasive phenotype causing cells to rapidly migrate (Armento et al., 2017, Codon Publications, 73-93; Shankar et al., 2014, Chin J Cancer, 33(3):148-58). Therefore, these studies evaluated effects of radiation treatment, administered on day 0 and on day 7, and how treatment may influence the two subpopulations alone compared to when they are together. ScRNAseq is used on the cells to assess changes in transcriptomic expression following treatment, elucidating to mechanisms that may confer drug resistance. The results from these experiments provide insight about the effects of standard treatment on migration. These results reveal a connection between migration, cell-cell interactions, and drug-resistance following standard treatment. These studies can also investigate the extent to which mechanical microenvironment changes may contribute to resistance using an interface gel. Previous data has shown that tumor elasticity from core to edge is a gradient, with the highest modulus near the tumor center (Sohrabi et al., 2020, Neuro-Oncology, 22). Studies have shown that cells preferably migrate along gradients, sensing mechanical cues from the ECM, with enhanced migration in soft hydrogel conditions (Wang et al., 2014, Molecular Attorney Docket No.: 206161-0059-00WO Pharmaceutics, 11(7):2115-25; Zhu D, et al., 2021, Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part A, 109(6):1027-1035; Sunyer et al., 2012, PLoS ONE, 7(10); Seker-Polat et al., 2022, Cancers.2022;14(2); Cha et al., 2016, Scientific Reports, 6(1):24912; Xiao et al., 2020, Matrix Biology, 85-86:128-46). Currently it is not clear whether cells closer to the tumor core do not migrate because of their physical location under stiff mechanical conditions, or because their transcriptome is different to that of the migratory population. Pilot data has shown that in 3D gradient hydrogels, single cell migration is enhanced in the direction of the soft gel area (Figure 13), indicating that both mechanosensing and transcriptomic expression enhance migration. These studies observed migratory behavior over the whole tumor mechanical landscape and investigate the hypothesis that cells sense mechanical changes and move towards softer microenvironment. Using a gradient hydrogel, the range of elasticities present in a tumor in a single hydrogel is captured to and used determine if cells’ migratory phenotype is regulated along a gradient. Using a gradient photomask, a gel is generated that captures the elasticity gradient from tumor core to peri-tumoral brain tissue. A gradient is generated due to the reduction in light intensity at the edges, decreasing the number of crosslinks. The slope of the gradient is identified in elasticities that contribute to the highest migration by evaluating cell phenotype and distance traveled. A gradient photomask, printed on transparent paper, is placed above an 8-mm diameter circular silicon mold. HA hydrogels are photocrosslinked in a gradient manner, where more light is blocked as it moves from the center, producing a gel with varying elasticities. Various photomasks with different resolutions are constructed to achieve gradients with varying slopes. Characterization of Young’s modulus are done using AFM. Observation of cell migration over the entire mechanical landscape of a tumor using the gradient platform. The slope is varied to generate different gradients of ECM elasticities and quantify migratory behavior in each condition. Specifically, directionality of cell migration is measured from determining the distribution of protrusions in the direction of reduced gel stiffness. The distance cells travel is also measured to determine the steepness that cells preferentially migrate along. These results provide insight into how mechanical cues from the ECM influence cell migration over the entire tumor mechanical landscape. These studies determine if changing the Attorney Docket No.: 206161-0059-00WO step size between elastic moduli enhances migration. The angle of the UV light can also be changed to generate a gradient by decreasing light intensity at the edges. The Cellink bioprinter is used to print gel solutions with varying PEG concentrations to alter gel elasticity. These studies also investigate phenotypic changes along the gradient that may indicate behaviors like proliferation. Previously developed hydrogel systems are useful because it can replicate the elasticity of an entire GBM tumor to study a wide range of functions of GBM. One limitation of this hydrogel formulation is the inability to tune the viscosity of the gel independently of its elasticity. Therefore, a viscoelastic HA hydrogel system that has orthogonal tunable loss (viscous portion) and storage (elastic portion) moduli was developed. The viscous portion of the gel utilizes dynamic crosslinks that can be un-crosslinked by forces exerted from GBM cells. These crosslinks then reform in the absence of a cell to hold shape and maintain ECM integrity. The viscoelastic HA hydrogel is formed by two distinct gel formulas that together generate an IPN. The IPN is generated of two distinct networks which are non-interacting and non-separable (Sperlinget al., 2014, Polymer blends handbook: Springer, 677-724). By synthesizing an IPN, a gel that is stiff and aids in cell migration can be generated. A viscoelastic, dynamically crosslinked hydrogel is aids in cell migration, allowing cells to deform their matrix and migrate, even under stiff conditions. Experiments were performed to synthesize and characterize the viscous portion of the IPN. The range of viscosity that can be captured is determined by characterizing the storage (G’) and loss (G”) modulus of the gel. The hydrogel formation is done by the reversible reaction of hydrazones and aldehydes. HA is functionalized with adipic acid dihydrazide (ADH). This reaction is characterized using H-NMR and a 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene 1-sulfonic acid (TNBS) assay. The number of ADH groups conjugated on HA is varied to tune the degree of crosslinking. The viscous gel is formed by crosslinking HA-ADH and 4-arm PEG-aldehyde (PEG-ALD) forming dynamic hydrazone bonds which allow cells deform their matrix more easily (Lou et al., 2018, Biomaterials, 154:213-222). Loss and storage moduli of the viscous gel is determined in an oscillatory strain test and a stress relaxation test using a rheometer (DHR20, TA instrument). First, HA is be modified with adipic acid dihyrazide (ADH) using EDC / NHS chemistry which allows the ADH conjugation on HA carboxylate groups. By adjusting EDC / NHS ratios the number of HA functional groups that are modified with ADH is varied (Xu et al., 2019, Attorney Docket No.: 206161-0059-00WO Molecules, 24(16)). The overall crosslinking density is then adjusted. The modification of HA is kept at low to moderate levels (5-20%) as cell attachment to matrix is mediated through CD44 binding to the carboxylate group on HA (Kwon et al., 2019, Biomaterials, 222:119451). HA- ADH is purified using dialysis against deionized water. Finally, HA-ADH solution is freeze- dried to yield dry HA-ADH. HA degree of modification by ADH is characterized by H-NMR and a TNBS assay. TNBS assay is a colorimetric assay where free amines react with the TNBS reagent. The absorbance of the solution is measured at 335 nm (Habeeb, 1996, Analytical Biochemistry, 14(3):328-36). H-NMR measurements of the degree of HA modification, observed peaks is compared to that of hydrazide-functionalized HA (Pouyani et al., 1994, Bioconjugate Chemistry, 5:339-347). Hydrogels are formed using the HA-ADH (synthesized in the previous step) and PEG- ALD (5 KDa) (Figure 14). Representative1H NMR spectrum of HA-ADH is shown in Figure 15. HA concentration in the viscous gel is kept at 0.5% (w / v), so that the final IPN contains 0.5% (w / v) of HA regardless of molar ratios of the two gel solutions. HA-ADH and PEG-ALD is mixed at equal molar ratios in circular silicon molds with a diameter of 8 mm and stored at room temperature for 10 minutes (Cai et al., 2022, Adv Mater, 34(5):e2106564). The gels is subjected to an oscillatory strain test where a sinusoidal strain is applied, and the corresponding shear stress is measured. The phase shift between the two curves measures the viscoelasticity of the sample, with 0° being fully elastic and 90° being fully viscous (Franck et al., 1993, TA Instruments). The viscoelasticity for each mixture is quantified by determining the degree of energy dissipation, tan ^ which is the ratio of G” / G’ (Franck et al., 1993, TA Instruments). Gelation time is determined at the time where storage moduli G’= G” (phase shift reaches 45°) (Murata H, 2012, Rheology - Theory and Application to Biomaterials. InTech). Oscillatory frequencies are limited to 1 Hz (Lou et al., 2018, Biomaterials, 154:213-22; Kocen et al., 2017, Biomedical Materials, 12(2):025004; Kokol et al., 2021, Colloids and Surfaces A: Physicochemical and Engineering Aspects, 616:126356). A stress relaxation test is also conducted to determine viscous recovery over time. Stress relaxation, measured as the time it takes for the normalized stress to reduce to half of its peak value (t1 / 2), has been shown to be an important modulator of cell spreading, migration, proliferation, differentiation, and cell matrix formation (Lou et al., 2018, Biomaterials, 154:213-222; Bauer et al., 2017, Acta Biomaterialia, 62:82-90; Lee et al., 2017, Nat Mater, 16(12):1243-51; Adebowale et al., 2021, Nat Mater, Attorney Docket No.: 206161-0059-00WO 20(9):1290-9). These experiments generate a viscous gel with dynamic crosslinks. This system independently tunes the viscous properties of the IPN by adjusting %HA modification. A limitation to this system is the extent to which HA can be functionalized with ADH, limiting the available crosslinks. If the crosslinking density is too low, hydrazide-functionalized 4-arm (PEG- HZ, 5 KDa) can be introduced to increase hydrazine functional groups to form crosslinks with PEG-ALD. This further tunes G’ and G”. The generation of an IPN is expected to enable the material properties, G’ and G”, to be tuned independently of each other, allowing for hydrogels to be generated with tunable characteristics. The IPN is comprised of the viscous gel and the elastic gel (Figure 1). The material characterization of the viscous gels determines the desired ratios of viscous to elastic gel. All components are mixed before exposing the gel to UV photopolymerization to crosslink the elastic gel. Ideally, an IPN that is stiff is generated, storage modulus ~1000 Pa, and has a tunable viscous component to allow cell movement. Mechanical properties are then characterized. The components of each gel are added and mixed thoroughly in 8mm silicon molds and stored at room temperature for 90 seconds to allow the viscous component to crosslink. The whole prepolymer solution is exposed to UV light for 15s to allow the elastic component to crosslink. Since both gels contain 0.5% wt HA, various molar ratios of gel solutions are tested without affecting the overall HA concentration. Experiments begin with a 1:1 molar ratio of elastic to viscous gel, then vary the ratios to achieve a tan ^ of 0.2-0.45, which is the reported tan ^ range of brain tissue (Fallenstein et al., 1969, Journal of Biomechanics, 2(3):217-26; Chaudhuri et al., 2020, Nature, 584(7822):535-46). Depending on the dilution of elastic gel crosslinks when mixed, the elastic gel formulation may be adjusted to achieve the same number of crosslinks in the IPN compared to elastic gel alone. The first experiments characterized the mechanics of each component of the IPN by mixing the two gel solutions together but not crosslinking at the same time. Then G’ and G” of the fully crosslinked IPN are characterized which help to determine the extent that each network contributes to the overall IPN mechanics. The results of these studies provide a IPN with independent controls over G’ and G”. By varying both molar ratios of each component and crosslinking density of each gel can tune the mechanical properties of the IPN. It is expected that the main control over G’ from the elastic gel, while the viscous gel contributes mainly to G”. The characterizations from these studies Attorney Docket No.: 206161-0059-00WO reveals how G’ and G” affect GBM cell migration. Relaxation time can be optimized to ~ t1 / 2 < 250s (Adebowale et al., 2021, Nat Mater, 20(9):1290-1299). GBM tumors tend to be stiffer than the surrounding tissue (Mahesparan et al., 2003, Acta Neuropathologica, 105(1):49-57; Payne et al., 2013, Molecular Cancer Research, 11(10):1129- 40). Most 3D models of GBM are unable to capture the migratory behavior under stiff conditions. It is hypothesized that cells are physically constrained in these stiff models and unable to move, indicating a need for a viscous component that can aid in cell movement. GBM migration is evaluated in the viscoelastic tissue-engineered model while varying the loss and elastic moduli independently of each other to determine properties that result in the highest migratory behavior. Characterization of migration is assessed by evaluating the distance cells travel in the IPN over the course of a week compared to migration distance in the elastic gel alone. The IPN is formed under stiff conditions (G’~1000Pa) to resemble the stiffness of a GBM tumor. The G’ is kept constant while varying G” to achieve a tan ^ of 0.2-0.45. Cells are added to the viscoelastic gel solution before crosslinking, then allowed to migrate over the course of a week. The percent of cells that migrated and the distance traveled in the IPN compared to cells in the classic elastic gel with the same elastic modulus are evaluated to determine the how viscosity affects GBM cell migration. Viscoelastic gels have shown to aid in cell spreading and proliferation, even in the absence of cell adhesion ligands (Lee et al., 2017, Nat Mater, 16(12):1243-51). The IPN is mixed thoroughly so that cells can interact with RGD an adhesion ligand, present in the elastic gel solution. This IPN better mimics the mechanical properties of native tumor and brain ECM, and provides the ability to recapitulate a stiff tumor with viscous properties. These results provide insight into how viscosity may affect cellular behavior independently of stiffness. A RDG the viscous gel solution using a succinimidyl 3-(2-pyridyldithio)propionate (SPDP) linker is also introduced to crosslink RDG to one arm of the PEG-HZ (Myles et al., 2000, Journal of Biomaterials Science, Polymer Edition, 11(1):69-86). Hydrazone links such as alginate or disulfide bonds in the viscous gels, improve cell migration (Chaudhuri O, 2017, Biomaterials Science, 5(8):1480-90; Passam et al., 2019, Biophysical Reviews,11(3):419-30). Attorney Docket No.: 206161-0059-00WO Example 5: HA-Based IPN Mimicked the Viscoelastic Nature of Brain Tissue to Study Glioblastoma Tumors Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common primary brain tumor with median survival time of 15 months (Baid et al., 2020, Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 14). GBM cells respond to a variety of cues from the tumor microenvironment, including tissue mechanics. Viscosity has been shown to regulate many cellular functions, including migration, proliferation, stemness, independently of elasticity in many cell types (Lou et al., 2018, Biomaterials, 154:213- 222). These behaviors and their relation to viscoelasticity have not been well studied GBM tumors. There is a need for improved experimental models that capture the mechanical environment of brain tissue and GBM tumors. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is the primary component of brain extracellular matrix and highly upregulated by GBM tumors (Pibuel et al, 2021, J Biol Chem., 296:100549). The herein described studies designed a HA-based interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) that allowed to investigate how viscoelasticity affects the behavior of GBM cells (Figure 1). The IPN was comprised of a viscous network, which modulated the loss modulus (G”), and an elastic network, which controlled the storage modulus (G’) (Figure 1 and Figure 16). The HA-based IPN better recapitulated in vivo conditions, allowing for physiologically meaningful GBM studies (Figure 13). More specifically, the HA was functionalized with either adipic acid dihydrazide or cystamine using EDC / NHS chemistry (Figure 1). The cell adhesive peptide, RGD (arginylglycylaspartic acid) was added to the elastic network with cysteine-RGD and to the viscous network with lysine-RGD. Furthermore, the hydrogel was synthesized by mixing prepolymer solutions, casting into molds, incubating for 10 minutes at 37 °C then exposing to UV light (365 nm at 4.15 mW / cm2) for 15s. Hydrogels were formed at 0.5 wt% HA, 0.5 mM CHO, 0.25 mM RGD, and varying thiol and norbornene content to adjust G’ (Figure 1 and Figure 16). Cells were subsequently encapsulated as spheroids with roughly 200 spheroids per 30 uL gel and 500 cells per spheroid (Figure 17). As such, the herein described studies showed the capability of the IPN hydrogel to increase the viscoelasticity of our 3D culture model when compared to the single covalent network. Using fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP), it was shown that there is Attorney Docket No.: 206161-0059-00WO no difference in diffusion rates in all conditions, although the IPNs did swell significantly more (Figure 8 and Figure 16). It was also observed that overall cell viability was high and proliferation rates were similar in all hydrogel conditions (Figure 17). The mechanical properties of the IPN better recapitulated the in vivo mechanical conditions which enabled the investigation of how tissue viscoelasticity effect GBM behavior. Additional studies focus on further investigation of GBM cell phenotype in hydrogel conditions by identifying if migratory behavior differs in IPN conditions, identifying if there are differences in protein and RNA expression when cultured in a higher viscoelastic material, studying GBM treatment response in the viscoelastic material versus the single network. In conclusion, brain is the softest, most viscoelastic tissue in mammals and these mechanical properties are known to influence the phenotypes of brain cells. However, conventional hydrogels for 3D cultures are elastic and not viscoelastic. Furthermore, hydrogels that do exhibit viscoelastic properties, rarely provide the ability to tune the elasticity (G’) independently of the viscosity (G”), making it impossible to decouple the effects of each mechanical component on cell behavior. To address this deficiency, the present studies have developed a hyaluronic acid (HA)-based interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) hydrogel platform, in which G’ and G” can be tuned independently, including to approximate the mechanical properties of native brain tissue. The IPN included a covalent network consisting of photocrosslinked HA (thiol-norbonene) to control the elasticity of the hydrogel and a non- covalent network of dynamically crosslinked HA (hydrazone bonds) to regulate the viscosity. Addition of the dynamic network increased viscoelasticity (tan ^) of the biomaterial threefold over that of the covalent network alone, while maintaining the same storage modulus (G’) of the static, covalent network. These IPN hydrogels displayed enhanced stress relaxation, reducing to half their initial G’ after 1 hr over which time the covalent single network had relaxed by less than a third of the initial G’. With the addition of a viscous network, the new IPN model was a better representation of the mechanics of native brain tissue and can be used to better understand how tissue mechanics affect glioblastoma behavior. Example 6: Mouse Neural Stem Cells (mNSC) in the IPN Mouse neural stem cells (mNSC) derived from spinal cord of embryonic day 15-18 mice Attorney Docket No.: 206161-0059-00WO were used to validate the use of other cell types in hydrogel platform (Figure 18). Two days after encapsulation, flow cytometry was used to measure the fraction of viable and proliferating cells. An EdU assay was used to measure proliferation in a 1.5 hr period (Figure 19). Proliferation rates among conditions were normalized by day. No statistical difference was observed in proliferation and a higher viability rate was observed in the single network gels (Figure 18 and Figure 19).
