Abstract Background Composite scaffolds of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) and PLGA/COL I were developed by a low-temperature deposition manufacturing (LDM) technique using three-dimensional printing technology. Their physical properties were tested, and the scaffolds were then used as cell culture platforms to prepare an ideal scaffold for cartilage tissue engineering. Methods The LDM technique was used to fabricate PLGA and PLGA/COL I composite scaffolds. The macrostructure, micromorphology, porosity, hydrophobicity, mechanical properties, and chemical structure of these scaffolds were examined. Primary chondrocytes were isolated and identified, second-passage cells were seeded onto the two scaffolds, and the adhesion and proliferation of the cells were determined. Results Both the PLGA and PLGA/COL I scaffolds prepared by LDM displayed a regular three-dimensional structure with high porosity. The PLGA scaffold had better mechanical properties than the PLGA/COL I scaffold, while the latter had significantly higher hydrophilicity than the former. The PLGA/COL I scaffold cultured with chondrocytes exhibited a higher adhesion rate and proliferation rate than the PLGA/COL I scaffold. Conclusion The novel PLGA/COL I composite scaffold printed by the LDM technique exhibited favourable biocompatibility and biomechanical characteristics and could be a good candidate for cartilage tissue engineering.

Abstract Objective: To fabricate and test a 3D-printed PCL scaffold incorporating IGF-1 loaded PLGA nanoparticles for cartilage tissue engineering.Methods: IGF-1 loaded PLGA nanoparticles were produced by the double-emulsion method, and were incorporated onto 3D printed PCL scaffolds via PDA. Particle size, loading effciency (LE) and encapsulation effciency (EE) of the nanoparticles were examined. SEM, pore size, porosity, compression testing, contact angle, IGF-1 release kinetics of the composite scaffolds were also determined. For cell culture studies, CCK-8, Live/dead, MTT, GAG content and expression level of chondrocytes specific genes and HIF-1α were also tested.Results: There was no difference of the nanoparticle size. And the LE and EE of IGF-1 in PLGA nanoparticles was about 5.53%±0.12% and 61.26%±2.71%, respectively. There was a slower, sustained release for all drug-loaded nanoparticles PLGA/PDA/PCL scaffolds. There was no difference of pore size, porosity, compressive strength of each scaffold. The contact angles PCL scaffolds were significant decreased when coated with PDA and PLGA nanoparticales. (P < 0.05) Live/dead staining showed more cells attached to the IGF-1 PLGA/PDA/PCL scaffolds. The CCK-8 and MTT assay showed higher cell proliferation and better biocompatibility of the IGF-1 PLGA/PDA/PCL scaffolds. (P < 0.05) GAG content, chondrogenic gene expression level of SOX-9, COL-II, N-cadh, ACAN, and HIF pathway related gene(HIF-1α) were significantly higher in IGF-1 PLGA/PDA/PCL scaffolds on days 7 and 14 compared to other groups. (P < 0.05)Conclusions: IGF-1 PLGA/PDA/PCL scaffolds may be a better method for sustained IGF-1 administration and a promising scaffold for cartilage tissue engineering.

Abstract Methacrylated gelatin (GelMA)/bacterial cellulose (BC) composite hydrogels have been successfully prepared by immersing BC particles in GelMA solution followed by photo-crosslinking. The morphology of GelMA/BC hydrogel was examined by scanning electron microscopy and compared with pure GelMA. The hydrogels had very well interconnected porous network structure, and the pore size decreased from 200 to 10 µm with the increase of BC content. The composite hydrogels were also characterized by swelling experiment, X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, rheology experiment and compressive test. The composite hydrogels showed significantly improved mechanical properties compared with pure GelMA. In addition, the biocompatility of composite hydrogels were preliminarily evaluated using human articular chondrocytes. The cells encapsulated within the composite hydrogels for 7 days proliferated and maintained the chondrocytic phenotype. Thus, the GelMA/BC composite hydrogels might be useful for cartilage tissue engineering.

Polymeric Scaffold

The study focuses on the synthesis of a novel polymeric scaffold having good porosity and mechanical characteristics synthesized by using natural polymers and their optimization for application in cartilage tissue engineering. The scaffolds were synthesized via cryogelation technology using an optimized ratio of the polymer solutions (chitosan, agarose and gelatin) and cross-linker followed by the incubation at sub-zero temperature (−12°C). Microstructure examination of the chitosan–agarose–gelatine (CAG) cryogels was done using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and fluorescent microscopy. Mechanical analysis, such as the unconfined compression test, demonstrated that cryogels with varying chitosan concentrations, i.e. 0.5–1% have a high compression modulus. In addition, fatigue tests revealed that scaffolds are suitable for bioreactor studies where gels are subjected to continuous cyclic strain. In order to confirm the stability, cryogels were subjected to high frequency (5 Hz) with 30 per cent compression of their original length up to 1 × 10 5 cycles, gels did not show any significant changes in their mass and dimensions during the experiment. These cryogels have exhibited degradation capacity under aseptic conditions. CAG cryogels showed good cell adhesion of primary goat chondrocytes examined by SEM. Cytotoxicity of the material was checked by MTT assay and results confirmed the biocompatibility of the material. In vivo biocompatibility of the scaffolds was checked by the implantation of the scaffolds in laboratory animals. These results suggest the potential of CAG cryogels as a good three-dimensional scaffold for cartilage tissue engineering.
