Abstract:
To investigate the feasibility of using poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate as scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. Marrow stromal cells were harvested from New Zealand rabbit′s iliac bone. After being cultured and multiplied in vitro,with the use of dexamethasone to promote the osteoblastic phenotype of the cells, the cells were seeded into poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate. The cells/ poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate construction was implanted subcutaneously in nude mice. In control animals, poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate alone was implanted. Osteogenesis was assessed by histological and roentgenographic analysis. Four weeks after implantation, osteoid tissue had been observed in the specimens of the composite; 8 weeks after implantation, large amount of new bone had been found, and lamellar bone had been observed also. In the control, only fibrous tissue had been found. It suggested that poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate can be used as a scaffold material for bone tissue engineering.
