PG - 3202-9 AB - BACKGROUND: Ceramic and polymer composite scaffolds are widely used in tissue engineering for bone tissue regeneration. Composite of beta-tricalcium phosphate (beta-TCP) and poly L-lactic acid (PLLA), due to its biocompatibility and biodegradability, is widely used in bioengineering. However, optimal ratio, porosity and pore size of this kind of scaffolds were not very clear yet. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We cultured osteoblastic induced rMSCs on beta-TCP/PLLA scaffolds to investigate the optimum construction, which owned better properties for supporting cells growth, proliferation and differentiation. A total of 24 mice were divided into three groups: rMSCs + beta-TCP/PLLA, osteoblastic rMSCs + beta-TCP/PLLA and beta-TCP/PLLA without cells. 8 rude mice were implanted with rMSCs + beta-TCP/PLLA in the left thighs and beta-TCP/PLLA without cells in the right thighs. 8 rude mice were implanted with osteoblastic rMSCs + beta-TCP/PLLA in the left thighs and the same treatments in the right thighs as the above. After 8 and 12 weeks, the mice were sacrificed and implants with the surrounding tissues were harvested together. Paraffin sections were got and HE stain and Masson-Goldner stain were employed to observe the ectopic bone formation. RESULTS: The scaffolds of beta-TCP/PLLA = 2:1 significantly increased osteocalcin production of the cells. In addition, scaffolds with NaCl = 70 wt%, pore size 200~450 mum showed better compatibility to these seeding cells. A significantly larger area of bone formation in the osteoblastic rMSCs and beta-TCP/PLLA composite than that in rMSCs/scaffold and in the scaffold without cells in vivo. CONCLUSION: compounds of osteoblastic induced rMSCs and the scaffold with beta-TCP/PLLA = 2:1, NaCl = 70 wt%, pore size = 200-450 mum had good properties as a kind of bone substitute.
