제목 Evaluation of bone formation with PLA/ CMP composites and bone marrow stromal cells
초록 Bioactive ceramics such as hydroxyapatite, beta-tricalcium phosphate, and calcium metaphosphate (CMP) are known to provoke specific biological responses at the interface of the materials resulting in the formation of a strong bond between the tissue and materials1-3. A new method to prepare PLA/CMP (poly-L-lactide/calcium metaphosphate) composite scaffolds was developed for effective bone tissue engineering. This Press-and-Baking method is composed of pressing the mixture of PLA, CMP, and salt particles at 150 MPa for 3 min followed by heat treatment at 210°C for 30 min. The scaffolds had a homogeneously interconnected porous structure without a skin layer, and they exhibited a narrower pore size distribution and higher mechanical strength in comparison with scaffolds made by a solvent casting method. The scaffolds were seeded by bone marrow derived osteoblasts and cultured for up to 5 weeks(Fig. 1). The number of cells attached to and proliferated on the scaffolds was in the order of ; PLA by Press-and-Baking < PLA/CMP by solvent casting < PLA/CMP by Press-and-Baking (Fig. 2). In addition, the alkaline phosphatase activity of and calcium deposition were enhanced significantly for the scaffolds by Press-and-Baking compared to them by solvent casting. Such a superior characteristics of the new Press-and-Baking method should be resulted from that the CMP particles could contact directly with cells/tissues to stimulate the cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation, while the CMP particles would be coated by polymers and hindered to interact with cells/tissues in the case of a solvent casting method.
