Electrospun scaffolds are potentially interesting in bone tissue engineering due to a strong structural similarity to the natural bone matrix. To investigate the osteogenic behavior of cells on the scaffolds, dynamic culture of cells is essential to simulate the biological environment. In the present study, human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) were cultured on multilayer nanohydroxyapatite-polycaprolactone electrospun scaffolds at different configurations (horizontal with or without pressure and parallel with the medium flow) and flow rates in a perfusion bioreactor. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, cell viability, Ca deposition and RUNX2 expression were determined in three different dynamic states, and compared with static culture after 1, 3, 7, and 14 days. Among dynamic groups, RUNX2 gene expression upregulated more in a horizontal state at a low flow rate without mechanical pressure (LF) and parallel flow (PF), than static group on day 7. At a high flow rate with mechanical pressure, Ca deposition and ALP activity increased 2.34 and 1.7 folds more than in static culture over 7 days, respectively. Furthermore, ALP activity, Ca deposition and RUNX2 gene expression increased in PF samples. PF provided longer culture time with higher cell differentiation. Therefore, high flow rate with mechanical pressure and PF are suggested for producing differentiated cell structure for bone tissue engineering.
静电纺丝支架由于与天然骨基质具有很强的结构相似性,因此在骨组织工程中具有很大的应用潜力。为了研究细胞在支架上的成骨行为,动态培养细胞对于模拟生物环境至关重要。在本研究中,在灌流生物反应器中,以不同的配置(有/无压力的水平和与培养基流动平行的方向)和流速,将人骨髓间充质干细胞(hMSCs)培养在多层纳米羟基磷灰石-聚己内酯静电纺丝支架上。在三个不同的动态状态下,测定碱性磷酸酶(ALP)活性、细胞活力、钙沉积和 RUNX2 表达,并与 1、3、7 和 14 天时的静态培养进行比较。在动态组中,在低流速无机械压力(LF)和平行流动(PF)的水平状态下,RUNX2 基因表达在第 7 天比静态组上调更多。在高流速加机械压力的条件下,钙沉积和 ALP 活性分别在 7 天内比静态培养增加了 2.34 倍和 1.7 倍。此外,PF 样品中的 ALP 活性、钙沉积和 RUNX2 基因表达增加。PF 提供了更长的培养时间和更高的细胞分化。因此,建议在骨组织工程中采用高流速加机械压力和 PF 来制备具有分化细胞结构的支架。
