摘要:

文题释义:
甲基丙烯酸酐化明胶:明胶是胶原经过不可逆分解得到的主要产物,被广泛应用于医疗及药品行业,具备良好的生物相容性及可降解性。甲基丙烯酸酐化明胶是在明胶的侧链氨基接枝光敏性基团,在保留其优异的生物学性能基础上具备了光敏性,加入光引发剂后可通过蓝光或紫外光激发固化反应,可形成具有一定强度的三维结构。
三维(3D)细胞培养技术:传统的二维细胞培养技术虽有利于细胞获取养分,但易形成接触抑制,仅能提供细胞的基本生理学信息。三维培养的细胞行为更接近于生物体内,可保留细胞的自然形态,允许细胞间形成广泛的连接,细胞的基因和蛋白表达水平更接近于体内。水凝胶支架内部的网络结构可留存大量水分,可模拟细胞在生物体内生存环境,是研究细胞行为的理想三维培养平台之一。

背景:水凝胶材料支架是三维培养细胞的理想材料之一,但水凝胶内部密集的网络结构对细胞增殖及舒展有明显抑制作用,水凝胶支架内部的多孔结构对上述问题有明显改善。
目的:探讨以甲基丙烯酸酐化明胶为支架材料、聚环氧乙烷溶液为造孔剂构建三维载细胞多孔水凝胶支架的方法,以及多孔水凝胶支架对细胞行为的影响。
方法:制备甲基丙烯酸酐化明胶水凝胶溶液与聚环氧乙烷溶液,将二者分别以4∶1、3∶1、2∶1、1∶1的体积比混合,加入骨髓间充质干细胞,设计构建可载细胞的三维多孔水凝胶支架,表征支架的微观形貌与力学性能,利用活死染色观察细胞相容性、细胞骨架染色观察细胞形态。
结果与结论:①扫描电镜下可见,各组支架截面呈均匀分布的多孔结构,各孔隙之间相互连通,孔隙呈类椭圆形或类圆形,随着聚环氧乙烷溶液比例的增加,支架的孔径及孔隙率增加;②多频应变曲线显示,各组支架的应变均可达到40%以上,其中体积比1∶1支架的应变可达到60%;随着聚环氧乙烷溶液比例的增加,支架的储能模量下降,其中体积比1∶1支架的力学强度较差,仅能勉强维持支架的形态;③体外培养14 d的活死染色显示,各组支架内的细胞存活率均>85%;④体外培养14 d的细胞骨架染色显示,体积比3∶1支架中大部分细胞呈短梭形,体积比2∶1、1∶1支架中的细胞呈星形或长梭形,细胞间建立了广泛的连接;⑤结果表明,三维载细胞多孔水凝胶支架有利于骨髓间充质干细胞的舒展和增殖,其中体积比为2∶1的支架兼顾了力学强度及生物学性能,是较为理想的三维细胞培养平台。

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Hydrogel scaffolds are one of the ideal materials for three-dimensional cell culture. However, the dense network structure in the hydrogel can significantly inhibit the proliferation and extension of cells, and the porous structure in the hydrogel scaffolds can alleviate these problems.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the method of constructing three-dimensional cellular porous hydrogel scaffold with methacrylate anhydride gelatin as scaffold material and polyethylene oxide solution as pore-forming agent, and the effect of porous hydrogel scaffolds on cellular behavior.
METHODS: Methacrylate anhydride gelatin hydrogel solution and polyethylene oxide solution were prepared, and mixed in a volume ratio of 4:1, 3:1, 2:1, and 1:1, separately. After adding bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, a three-dimensional porous hydrogel scaffold that could carry cells were designed and constructed to characterize the microscopic morphology and mechanical properties of the scaffold. The live/dead staining was utilized to observe cell compatibility, and cytoskeleton staining was applied to observe cell morphology.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The scanning electron microscope showed that the cross-sections of scaffolds of each group displayed uniformly distributed porous structures, and the pores were connected to each other. The pores were oval-like or round-like. As the proportion of polyethylene oxide solution increased, the pore size of the scaffolds and porosity increased. (2) Multi-frequency strain curves showed that the strain of scaffolds of each group could reach more than 40%, among which the strain of the scaffold with a volume ratio of 1:1 could reach 60%. As the proportion of polyethylene oxide solution increased, the storage modulus of the scaffold decreased, and the mechanical strength of the volume ratio 1:1 scaffold was poor, and it could barely maintain the shape of the scaffold. (3) The live/dead staining of 14 days in vitro culture showed that the survival rate of cells of scaffolds in each group was >85%. (4) Staining of the cytoskeleton cultured for 14 days in vitro showed that most of the cells in the scaffold with a volume ratio of 3:1 were short spindle-shaped, and the cells in the scaffold with a volume ratio of 2:1 and 1:1 were star-shaped or long spindle-shaped. A wide range of connections was established among cells. (5) Three-dimensional cell-carrying porous hydrogel scaffold can significantly promote the spreading and proliferation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. Porous hydrogels with a volume ratio of 2:1 have both mechanical strength and biological properties and can be a good platform for three-dimensional cell culture.
