▎ 摘 要
The content and surface topology of tissue engineering scaffolds are two important parameters in regulating the cell behavior. In this study, a phase separation micromolding (PS mu M) method was implemented to develop micro-groove-imprinted poly(E-caprolactone) (PCL)-nano hydroxyapatite (nHAp)-reduced graphene oxide (rGO) ternary blend constructs. Physical and chemical characterizations of cell-devoid constructs were performed by FTIR, XRD, TGA, DSC, porosity, swelling, wettability analysis, tensile and compression mechanical tests. The in vitro biological performance of human osteoblasts cultured on micro-patterned blend constructs was evaluated by MTT and alamarBlue viability assays. The findings revealed that nHAp and rGO significantly promote cell viability and proliferation, while the micro-pattern determines the direction of cell migration. Alkaline phosphatase and Ca2+ analyses were carried out to determine the osteogenic properties of cell-laden constructs. This study describes a simple method to generate topologically modified ternary blend PCL/nHAp/rGO constructs using the PS mu M method, which contributes to cell proliferation and migration, which is particularly important in regenerative medicine.
