Effect of polylactic acid-polyethylene glycol composite fibrous materials on adhesion, multiplication and viability of osteoblasts / 中国组织工程研究

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:Recent advances in polylactic acid-polyethylene glycol (PLA-PEG) block copolymer and hydroxyapatite surface-grafted with poly(l-lactide) (HA-g-PLLA), including their synthesis and preparation, have been approved for application in bone tissue engineering. But they have stil many disadvantages. Combination of HA-g-PLLA and PEG-PLA could show a great potential for development in bone tissue engineering. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of PLA-PEG/HA-g-PLLA composite fibrous material with different content of HA-g-PLLA on adhesion, multiplication and cellviability of osteoblasts. METHODS:Four fibrous materials of 5%PLA-PEG, 5%PLA-PEG/5%HA-g-PLLA, 5%PLA-PEG/10%HA-g-PLLA, 5%PLA-PEG/15%HA-g-PLLA were prepared using electrospinning technique and divided into four experimental groups. Mouse osteoblasts were inoculated on the materials. A statistical analysis was done based on results from celldyeing and alkaline phosphatase detection at certain time points to evaluate the effect of new materials on osteoblast adhesion, proliferation and viability. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the experiment of cellmultiplication and the test of alkaline phosphatase activity, both absorbance values and activity of alkaline phosphatase from high to low were 5%PLA-PEG/10%HA-g-PLLA>5%PLA-PEG/15%HA-g-PLLA>5%PLA-PEG/5%HA-g-PLLA>5%HA-g-PLLA (P<0.05). The absorbance value of PLA-PEG/HA-g-PLLA roughly presented a waveform with the increasing addition of HA-g-PLLA. The effect of PLA-PEG/HA-g-PLLA composite fibrous material on adhesion, multiplication and osteogensis of osteoblasts increases with addition of HA-g-PLLA in a certain range.
