Biocompatibility Study of Crosslinked Hyaluronic Acid/β-tricalcium Phosphate Composite Scaffold Material

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The hyaluronic acid/β-tricalcium phosphate composite material was prepared by chemical crosslinking. The crosslinked and non-crosslinked HA/β-TCP composite scaffolds were co-cultured with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells to evaluate the role of mitochondrial stress signaling pathway in the regulation of BMSCs apoptosis.We obtained the results of CCK-8 kit, cell adhesion assay, Hoechst/PI staining assay, flow cytometry for the detection of apoptotic rate, and Western Blot detection of Bax and Bcl-2-related proteins in mitochondrial mechanism. The experimental results show that the the crosslinked materials have higher viability and lower apoptosis than non-crosslinked scaffolds, this scaffold is expected to be widely used in cartilage tissue engineering.
