Fabrication of poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid)/decellularized articular cartilage extracellular matrix scaffold by three-dimensional printing technology and investigating its physicochemical properties

OBJECTIVE: To manufacture a poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) scaffold by low temperature deposition three-dimensional (3D) printing technology, prepare a PLGA/decellularized articular cartilage extracellular matrix (DACECM) cartilage tissue engineered scaffold by combining DACECM, and further investigate its physicochemical properties.

METHODS: PLGA scaffolds were prepared by low temperature deposition 3D printing technology, and DACECM suspensions was prepared by modified physical and chemical decellularization methods. DACECM oriented scaffolds were prepared by using freeze-drying and physicochemical cross-linking techniques. PLGA/DACECM oriented scaffolds were prepared by combining DACECM slurry with PLGA scaffolds. The macroscopic and microscopic structures of the three kinds of scaffolds were observed by general observation and scanning electron microscope. The chemical composition of DACECM oriented scaffold was analyzed by histological and immunohistochemical stainings. The compression modulus of the three kinds of scaffolds were measured by biomechanical test. Three kinds of scaffolds were embedded subcutaneously in Sprague Dawley rats, and HE staining was used to observe immune response. The chondrocytes of New Zealand white rabbits were isolated and cultured, and the three kinds of cell-scaffold complexes were prepared. The growth adhesion of the cells on the scaffolds was observed by scanning electron microscope. Three kinds of scaffold extracts were cultured with L-929 cells, the cells were cultured in DMEM culture medium as control group, and cell counting kit 8 (CCK-8) was used to detect cell proliferation.

RESULTS: General observation and scanning electron microscope showed that the PLGA scaffold had a smooth surface and large pores; the surface of the DACECM oriented scaffold was rough, which was a 3D structure with loose pores and interconnected; and the PLGA/DACECM oriented scaffold had a rough surface, and the large hole and the small hole were connected to each other to construct a vertical 3D structure. Histological and immunohistochemical qualitative analysis demonstrated that DACECM was completely decellularized, retaining the glycosaminoglycans and collagen typeⅡ. Biomechanical examination showed that the compression modulus of DACECM oriented scaffold was significantly lower than those of the other two scaffolds ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference between PLGA scaffold and PLGA/DACECM oriented scaffold ( P>0.05). Subcutaneously embedded HE staining of the three scaffolds showed that the immunological rejections of DACECM and PLGA/DACECM oriented scaffolds were significantly weaker than that of the PLGA scaffold. Scanning electron microscope observation of the cell-scaffold complex showed that chondrocytes did not obviously adhere to PLGA scaffold, and a large number of chondrocytes adhered and grew on PLGA/DACECM oriented scaffold and DACECM oriented scaffold. CCK-8 assay showed that with the extension of culture time, the number of cells cultured in the three kinds of scaffold extracts and the control group increased. There was no significant difference in the absorbance ( A) value between the groups at each time point ( P>0.05).

CONCLUSION: The PLGA/DACECM oriented scaffolds have no cytotoxicity, have excellent physicochemical properties, and may become a promising scaffold material of tissue engineered cartilage.
