doi:10.12307/2024.270

Abstract

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) with piezoelectric properties, good biocompatibility and nontoxicity make it a suitable candidate for periosteal repair.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the cytotoxicity of PVDF bionic periosteum by electrospinning with zinc and magnesium ions in vitro.
METHODS: Pure PVDF, zinc-doped PVDF, magnesium-doped PVDF and Zinc-magnesium ion PVDF piezoelectric bionic periosteum were prepared by electrospinning technology, respectively. They were named PVDF, PVDF-Zn, PVDF-Mg and PVDF-Zn-Mg, in which the mass fraction of zinc and magnesium ions were all 1%. Osteoblasts and vascular endothelial cells were co-cultured with four groups of bionic periosteum. Cell compatibility of bionic periosteum was determined by alkaline phosphatase staining, CD31 immunofluorescence staining, and scanning electron microscopy.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Osteoblasts: Alkaline phosphatase staining after 7 days of culture showed that the PVDF-Zn group secreted more alkaline phosphatase than the other three groups. Under a scanning electron microscopy, after 1 day of culture, the cells had a certain spread on the surface of PVDF-Mg and PVDF-Zn-Mg bionic periosteum, and the pseudopod extended to all sides. On day 3, the cell edge of each group extended pseudopods to the material. By days 5 and 7, the cells were fully spread, well grown and firmly covered the surface of the fibers, and the cellular pseudopods extended around and into the interstitial space of the fibers. CCK-8 assay showed that the cell proliferation on the bionic periosteum of each group showed an increasing trend over time and the relative proliferation rate of cells at 1, 3, 5, and 7 days was ≥75%, and the cytotoxicity was ≤ grade 1. (2) Vascular endothelial cells: CD31 immunofluorescence staining for 3 days showed that the cells adhered and spread well on the bionic periosteum of each group and connected with each other, and the number of cells in the PVDF-Zn-Mg group was more than that in the other three groups. Under scanning electron microscope, the cells began to adhere to the surface of each group of fibers after 1 and 3 days of culture. On day 5, the cells were well spread on the surface of the fibers and extended obvious pseudopods. On day 7, the cells on the PVDF-Mg and PVDF-Zn-Mg bionic periosteum grew in multiple layers and extended the pseudopod into the fibrous void. CCK-8 assay showed that the cell proliferation on the bionic periosteum of each group showed a downward trend over time, and the relative proliferation rate of cells at 1, 3, 5 and 7 days was ≥125%, and the cytotoxicity was grade 0. (3) The results showed that Zn-Mg electrospun PVDF piezoelectric bionic periosteum had good cytocompatibility.
