| Abstract: | Extracellular matrix( ECM) plays a prominent role in establishing and maintaining an appropriate microenvironment for tissue regeneration. The aims of this study were to construct a tissue engineered scaffold by reconstituting osteoblast cell-derived ECM( O-ECM) on the electrospun nanofibrous scaffold,and further to evaluate its subsequent application for promoting the proliferation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells( BMSCs). To engineer a biomimetic scaffold, calvarial osteoblasts and electrospun poly-llactic acid( PLLA) nanofibers were prepared and subjected to decellularize for O-ECM deposition. To evaluate and characterize the O-ECM/PLLA scaffold, the morphology was examined and several specific mark proteins of osteoblasts matrix were evaluated.Furthermore,the cell counting kit-8( CCK-8) assay was used to detect the proliferation of the BMSCs cultivated on the O-ECM/PLLA scaffold. The results indicated O-ECM/PLLA scaffold was loaded with Collagen I, Fibronectin, and Laminin, as the composition of the marrow ECM. After decellularization,O-ECM deposition was observed in O-ECM/PLLA scaffold. Moreover,the O-ECM/PLLA scaffold could significantly enhance the proliferation of BMSCs,suggesting better cytocompatibility compared to the other groups tested. Taken together,a biomimetic scaffold based on the joint use of O-ECM and PLLA biomaterials,which represents a promising approach to bone tissue engineering, facilitates the expansion of BMSCs in vitro. |
