Influence of the substrate's hydrophilicity on the in vitro Schwann cells viability

Abstract: A series of polymeric biomaterials including poly (methyl acrylate) (PMA), chitosan (CHT), poly(ethyl acrylate) (PEA), poly(hydroxyethyl acrylate) (PHEA), and a series of random copolymers containing ethyl acrylate and hydroxyethyl acrylate monomeric units were tested in vitro as culture substrates and compared for their impact on the proliferation and expansion of Schwann cells (SCs). Immunocytochemical staining assay and scanning electron microscopy techniques were applied to perform a quantitative analysis … Show more

“…For PEA, a lower surface free energy and greater polar component than those previously published values [38,39] were obtained here; as explained, these discrepancies can be a side effect of the production procedure.…”

“…Las propiedades físicas que caracterizan al PEA son la flexibilidad de la cadena principal, la naturaleza polar y la longitud de las cadenas laterales (19) . En cuanto a las características relacionadas con su comportamiento en entornos biológicos, se trata de un polímero altamente compatible con distintos tipos de células in vitro, siendo unas de ellas las células neuronales (20)(21)(22)(23) . Esta alta compatibilidad biológica parece que es debida a que el PEA favorece la fibrilogénesis de laminina y fibronectina en sus superficies (24)(25)(26) , lo cual permite una correcta deposición de la matriz extracelular, la cual es reconocida por las células y se adhieren a esta con facilidad.…”

“…Normally, the percentages of round platelets and the total number of adhering platelets are related to the degree of hydrophiticity: the more hydrophilic the surface is, the lower the number of platelets adhering to it and the smaller are the changes in platelet shape. The improved hydrophilicity causes a less tendency of absorption in the protein, blood platelet, and blood clotting factors and resulting improvement in the blood compatibility of implant material [47,48]. …”
