Abstract
Interconnected scaffolds are useful for promoting the chondrogenic differentiation of stem cells. Collagen scaffolds with interconnected pore structures were fabricated with poly(lactic acid-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) sponge templates. The PLGA-templated collagen scaffolds were used to culture human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) to investigate their promotive effect on the chondrogenic differentiation of hMSCs. The cells adhered to the scaffolds with a homogeneous distribution and proliferated with culture time. The expression of chondrogenesis-related genes was upregulated, and abundant cartilaginous matrices were detected. After subcutaneous implantation, the PLGA-templated collagen scaffolds further enhanced the production of cartilaginous matrices and the mechanical properties of the implants. The good interconnectivity of the PLGA-templated collagen scaffolds promoted chondrogenic differentiation. In particular, the collagen scaffolds prepared with large pore-bearing PLGA sponge templates showed the highest promotive effect.
