AbstractSynthetic biodegradable polymers including poly(lactic acid) (PLA) are attractive cell culture substrates because their surfaces can be micropatterned to support cell adhesion. The cell adhesion properties of a scaffold mainly depend on its surface chemical and structural features; however, it remains unclear how these characteristics affect the growth and differentiation of cultured cells or their gene expression. In this study, we fabricated two differently structured PLA nanosheets: flat and microgrooved. We assessed the growth and differentiation of mouse primary cultured cortical neurons on these two types of nanosheets after pre-coating with poly-D-lysine and vitronectin. Interestingly, prominent neurite bundles were formed along the grooves on the microgrooved nanosheets, whereas thin and randomly extended neurites were only observed on the flat nanosheets. Comparative RNA sequencing analyses revealed that the expression of genes related to postsynaptic density, dendritic shafts, and asymmetric synapses was significantly and consistently up-regulated in cells cultured on the microgrooved nanosheets when compared with those cultured on the flat nanosheets. These results indicate that microgrooved PLA nanosheets can provide a powerful means of establishing a culture system for the efficient and reproducible differentiation of neurons, which will facilitate future investigations of the molecular mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of neurological disorders.

Biomaterials must meet certain fundamental requirements for their usage in living beings, such as biocompatibility, bifunctionality, and sterilizability, without having chemical and structural changes. The biocompatibility of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) films, shaped by compression, was evaluated after sterilization by ethylene oxide by a histological in vivo test with Wistar rats and cytotoxicity in cell adhesion in vitro. The cytotoxicity test was performed by the reduction of tetrazolium salt (MTT). Thermal and chemical changes in PLA films concerning the proposed sterilization process and characteristics were not observed to evidence polymer degradation due to sterilization. The analysis of the cytotoxicity by the MTT method has shown that the sterilized PLA films are not cytotoxic. The adhesion and proliferation of fibroblasts on PLA films were homogeneously distributed over the evaluation period, showing an elongated appearance with unnumbered cytoplasmic extensions and cell-cell interactions. By examining the biocompatibility in a histological study, a mild tissue inflammation was observed with the presence of fibrosis in the samples that had been exposed for 21 days in the rats’ bodies. PLA films sterilized with ethylene oxide did not exhibit cell adhesion in vitro and toxicity to the surrounding tissue in vivo and they may be used in future in vivo testing, according to histological findings in Wistar rats in the present study.
