Biocompatibility of electro-spinning beta-tricalcium phosphate/gelatin guided tissue regeneration menbrene versus polylactic acid and poly(lactide-co-glycolide) membrane / 中国组织工程研究

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: In the past, guided tissue regeneration materials were produced by 13-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) and gelatin (Gel), but the production of fiber membrane by electro-spinning technique was reported less.OBJECTIVE: To prepare a new kind of Gel with β-TCP hybrid nanofibrous membrane and testing its biocompatibility compared with polylactic acid (PLLA) and poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) membrane.METHODS: The β-TCP/Gel guided tissue regeneration membrane was made by electro-spinning technique.Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was employed to observe membrane surface.MTT test was performed to compare toxicity among β-TCP/Gel,PLLA, and PLGA membranes.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The β-TCP/Gel membrane was porous, and β-TCP granules were nodosity-adhered on surface of Gel.The average diameter of fiber was 500-600 nm.The distribution of fiber ranged from 200 to 500 nm.There was no significant difference in toxicity among PLLA, PLGA, and negative control group (P > 0.05).The results suggested that the β-TCP /Gel membrane was low cytotoxicity and suitable for tissue engineering.It would be a promising material for periodontal tissue regeneration.
