Objective:
To explore the effects of fibrinogen(FG) and laminin(LN) in promoting the osteogenic differentiation of bone mesenchymal stem cells(BMSCs)in PEGDA scaffold.
Methods:
After the rabbit BMSCs were isolated and cultured to passage 3. BMSCs were blended in PEGDA-FG or PEGDA-LN hydrogels and cultured for 7 days. The levels of osterix,osteopontin,osteocalcin,collagen 2,myocardin,PPARΓ,and integrins Α2,Α5,and Α6 in PEGDA-FG and PEGDA-LN constructs were determined. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expressions of myocardin,PPARΓ,and OPN in PEGDA-FG and PEGDA-LN constructs.
Results:
The expressions of osterix,OPN,and OC were significantly higher in PEGDA-FG scaffold than day 0(all P<0.05). The OPN and OC expression levels were significantly higher in PEGDA-LN scaffold than day 0(both P<0.05). In PEGDA-FG and PEGDA-LN scaffold,myocardin,PPARΓ and COL 2 expression level showed no significant differences than day 0(all P>0.05). Integrin Α2 was upregulated in PEGDA-LN scaffold than day 0(P<0.05). Integrin Α6 was upregulated in PEGDA-FG scaffold than day 0(P<0.05). Immunohistochemistry stain showed that OPN expression increased in PEGDA-FG and PEGDA-LN scaffolds.
Conclusion:
FG and LN can promote rabbit BMSCs osteogenic differentiation in PEGDA three-dimensional scaffold.
