“…The increase of the carboxyl group absorption peak was due to the increase of the sodium polyacrylate concentration in CPC curing solution., mMany studies have shown that sodium polyacrylate with a carboxyl active functional group has a certain ability to promote osteogenic differentiation, Liu et al 56 demonstrated that the carboxyl groups had a positive promoting effect on the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts., Su et al 57 investigated the effect of a bioactive LAPONITE® nanosheet (LAP) modified by sodium polyacrylate in the formation of a regenerated silk fibroin (RSF) hydrogel on promoting osteogenic differentiation., tThe result showed that the transcript levels for alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcin, osteopontin, and collagen type I osteogenic markers obviously improve with the RSF/LAP hydrogel compared to the controls at 14 days, especially with higher contents of LAP. Wan et al 58 proposed that the collagen membrane crosslinked with high molecular weight polyacrylic acid hasve been shown to promote osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and enhance bone regeneration in vivo , and polyacrylic acid could guide osteogenic differentiation of MSCs by upregulating mitochondrial dynamics through mitochondriogenesis, fusion, fission and mitophagy. Besides, the porosity of PA-CPCs increased with the rise of sodium polyacrylate concentration in the CPC curing solution, and the higher porosity structure is conducive to the release of carboxyl groups during cell culture, thus stimulating osteoblast differentiation of mBMSCs.…”
