Porous PEOT/PBT scaffolds for bone tissue engineering: Preparation, characterization, and in vitro bone marrow cell culturing

Abstract: The preparation, characterization, and in vitro bone marrow cell culturing on porous PEOT/PBT copolymer scaffolds are described. These scaffolds are meant for use in bone tissue engineering. Previous research has shown that PEOT/PBT copolymers showed in vivo degradation, calcification, and bone bonding. Despite this, several of these copolymers do not support bone marrow cell growth in vitro. Surface modification, such as gas-plasma treatment, is needed to improve the in vitro cell attachment. Porous structure… Show more

“…In PLLA scaffolds, vascular smooth muscle cells preferentially bind to one range of pore sizes (63 -150 µm) while fibroblasts bind to a wider range (38 -150 µm) [12,13]. A number of cell types exhibit preferences to binding in scaffolds with pore sizes considerably larger than the characteristic cell size, often utilizing a characteristic bridging mechanism where adjacent cells act as support structures to assist bridging large pores; examples include fibrovascular tissue ingrowth into PLLA scaffolds, osteoblast adhesion to polylactide-co-glycolide (PLAGA) scaffolds, and rat marrow cells binding to PEOT/PBT scaffolds [7,14,15]. Additionally, the mean pore size of scaffolds has also been shown to significantly influence cell morphology and phenotypic expression [16][17][18].…”

“…The optimal scaffold pore size that allows maximal entry of cells [2] as well as cell adhesion and matrix deposition has been shown to vary with different cell types [3,4]. Scaffold pore size has been observed to influence adhesion, growth, and phenotype of a wide variety of cell types, notably endothelial cells, vascular smooth muscle cells, fibroblasts, osteoblasts, rat * Manuscript marrow cells, chondrocytes, preadipocytes, and adipocytes [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. Scaffold heterogeneity has been shown to lead to variable cell adhesion and to affect the ability of the cell to produce a uniform distribution of extracellular matrix proteins [5].…”

“…Foams and textiles are the two predominant types of scaffolds used in tissue engineering. Foams can be fabricated by gas foaming, freeze drying, or porogen leaching Sproule et al, 2004;Schoof et al, 2001;Ma and Zhang, 2001;Claase et al, 2003;Sarazin and Favis, 2003). Textile scaffolds can be produced by wet or melt spinning, creating fibers that are randomly deposited on top of each other, woven, or knitted (Cima et al, 1991;Freed et al, 1994;Niklason and Langer, 1997).…”
