Abstract:
BACKGROUND: In previous studies on tissue-engineered adipose, the pore size of scaffolds is easily neglected. If the pore size was large, cells would flow away along the pore and could not maintain in the scaffold. If the pore size was small, cells would distribute on the surface of the scaffold, and could not enter the scaffold. Simultaneously, it would be not contribute to growth of new vessels. OBJECTIVE: To screen appropriate silk fibroin porous scaffolds to construct tissue-engineered adipose. METHODS: Under unchanged concentration of flbroin, six kinds of silk fibroin porous scaffolds in different aperture were prepared by changing freezing and drying temperature and time. Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) were harvested using attachment method. The potentiality of its osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation was detected by chemistry staining. The apertures of six kinds of silk fibroin porous scaffolds were measured by scanning electron microscope. The adhesion and proliferation of hUCMSCs on silk fibroin porous scaffolds in different aperture were observed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The apertures of six silk fibroin porous scaffolds were (39.94±17.27), (53.51±16.18), (63.97±19.76), (71.08±18.07), (87.33±21.78), (121.97±44.10) μm, respectively. The strong ability of attachment of hUCMSCs appeared in the number two scaffold, and in other materials (number 1,3,4,5,6), there were not any cell in them except number one and three. Therefore, 50 μm might be a suitable aperture to construct tissue-engineered adipose with silk flbroin porous scaffolds using hUCMSCs.
