Effects of nanonetwork topography on bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell bioactivity / 中国组织工程研究

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:Many studies have shown that different nanostructures produce different influences on cellbioactivity, but the nanonetwork structure is not reported yet. OBJECTIVE:To study the influence of the nanonetwork topography on the bioactivity of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels. METHODS:The nanonetwork topography was fabricated on biomedical titanium surface by alkali-heat treatment, and pure titanium served as control group. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels were co-cultured with the above two types of samples. cellmorphology and cytoskeleton were observed using scanning electron microscope and immunofluorescence method. The celladhesion, proliferation and osteogenic differentiation were detected by measurement of absorbance values at different culture time. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The nanonetwork topography had significant advantage on the number of adherent cels at 30, 60 and 120 minutes of co-culture. The cellproliferation was significantly accelerated by the nanonetwork topography at days 1, 3, 5 of co-culture, and the absorbance values in the nanonetwork group were significantly higher than those in the pure titanium group (P < 0.05). The alkaline phosphatase activity in the nanonetwork group was also significantly higher than that in the pure titanium group at 14 days of osteogenic induction (P < 0.05). The cellshape and cytoskeleton on the nanonetwork surface were better than those on the titanium surface. These findings indicate that the nanonetwork topography has better effects on cellbioactivity compared with pure titanium.
