Abstract:

BACKGROUND: To design and fabricate a novel three-dimensional thermoresponsive polymer cell scaffold is one of the hot topics in the research of polymer science.
OBJECTIVE: To prepare three different kinds of thermoresponsive acellular carriers and to evaluate their performance.
METHODS: The copolymer N-isopropylacrylamide temperature acellular scaffold, macroporous copolymer N-isopropylacrylamide temperature acellular scaffold and macroporous copolymer N-isopropylacrylamide crosslinking aldehyde sodium alginate thermoresponsive acellular scaffold were prepared. The specific surface area, thermoresponsive performance, porosity, pore size and biocompatibility of these three groups of scaffolds were determined.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The specific surface area of copolymer N-isopropylacrylamide 
thermoresponsive acellular scaffold, macroporous copolymer N-isopropylacrylamide thermoresponsive acellular scaffold and macroporous copolymer N-isopropylacrylamide crosslinking aldehyde sodium alginate thermoresponsive cellular scaffold was respectively 135, 386, 421 m2/g. The lower critical solution temperature was 30, 28.5, 29.5 ℃. The cell toxicity reaction was respectively grade 2, 2, 1. These indicators showed that the three kinds of scaffolds were provided with a temperature-sensitive characteristics and similar lower critical solution temperature. The biocompatibility of macroporous copolymer N-isopropylacrylamide crosslinking aldehyde sodium alginate thermoresponsive acellular scaffold was significantly better than the other two scaffolds. The porosity and pore size of macroporous copolymer N-isopropylacrylamide thermoresponsive acellular scaffold and macroporous copolymer N-isopropylacrylamide crosslinking aldehyde sodium alginate thermoresponsive acellular scaffold were greater than those of the copolymer N-isopropylacrylamide thermoresponsive acellular scaffold (P < 0.05). These results demonstrate that macroporous copolymer N-isopropylacrylamide thermoresponsive acellular scaffold and macroporous copolymer N-isopropylacrylamide crosslinking aldehyde sodium alginate thermoresponsive acellular scaffold have more obvious pore structure.
