title: Proliferation and differentiation of rat bone marrow stromal cells on poly(glycolic acid)-collagen sponge.
abstract: We studied the effects of dexamethasone (Dex) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) on proliferation and differentiation of rat bone marrow stromal cells (RBMSCs), using three scaffolds: collagen sponge, poly(glycolic acid) (PGA)-collagen sponge, and PGA-collagen (UV) sponge. RBMSCs were seeded into the sponges, and cultured in primary medium, primary medium with Dex, and primary medium with bFGF and Dex. Three weeks after cultivation, we examined alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and cell number in the sponges, and also performed macroscopic, light microscopic, and scanning electron microscopic (SEM) observations. Collagen sponge shrank considerably, but PGA-collagen and PGA-collagen (UV) sponges maintained most of their original shape. PGA-collagen (UV) sponge supplemented with bFGF and Dex together had the highest ALP activity and cell number, followed by PGA-collagen sponge. Although collagen sponge showed cell proliferation only on the surface, the other two sponges showed cell proliferation in the interior. SEM showed the best cell attachment to PGA-collagen (UV) sponge in the presence of bFGF and Dex, followed by PGA-collagen sponge. In conclusion, PGA-collagen (UV) and PGA-collagen sponges proved to be much more useful as scaffolding for bone regeneration when combined with bFGF and Dex.
