Abstract:
Objective To prepare the chitosan-Mg membranes and to explore the biocompatibility of membranes with PC12 cells and its usage as biomaterials in tissue engineering.Methods The appearance of the chitosan-Mg membranes (CM) was observed under scanning electromicroscope (SEM) and the element of the membranes was analyzed by x-ray energy spectromete. PC12 cells were co-cultured with CM in vitro,the morphological changes of PC12 cells on membranes were observed under scanning electron microscope (SEM) and light microscope (LM),the cell vitality was detected by MTT assay. Results The surface of chitosan membranes (CS) was smoother than that of CM;but the CM groups were full of pore observed under SEM;The content of Mg element was related with the dosage of MgSO4 added into chitosan solution. Morphology observation showed that PC12 cells grew well on CM as compared with CS group. The cells were rich of microvilli and long processes on 7th day,and synapses-like structure was formed in many PC12 cells. In addition,the cell viability of experiment group was higher than that of control group(P
