BACKGROUND: The combination of cells and biomaterials has become a powerful approach to regenerative medicine in recent years. Understanding the in-vitro interactions between cells and biomaterials is crucial for the success of regenerative medicine.

AIM: In this study, we developed an AD-pectin/chitosan/nano-crystalline cellulose scaffold with nano-hydroxy-apatite (n-HAP) and alendronate (ALN). The second step was to evaluate its effect on the immunomodulatory properties and biological behaviors of seeded adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) for bone tissue repair.

MATERIAL AND METHOD: After preparing and evaluating the characterization tests of the new combined n-HAP scaffold, we established different culture conditions to evaluate ADSC growth on this scaffold with or without ALN. The main assays were MTT assay, RT-PCR, and ELISA.

RESULTS: Our data regarding characterization tests (including SEM, TGA, FTIR, gelation time, swelling ratio, rheology and degradation tests) of ALN-loaded n-HAP scaffold showed the proper stability and good mechanical status of the scaffold. ADSC proliferation and viability increased in the presence of the scaffold compared with other conditions. Moreover, our data demonstrated increased gene expression and protein levels of anti-inflammatory TGF-β, HGF, and IDO cytokines in the presence of the ALN-loaded n-HAP scaffold, indicating the increased immunosuppressive activity of ADSCs in vitro.

CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates the promising abilities of the ALN-loaded n-HAP scaffold to increase the proliferation, viability, and immunomodulatory capacity of ADSCs, elucidating new aspects of cell-material interactions that can be used for bone tissue regeneration/repair, and paving the path of future research in developing new approaches for MSC- based therapy.
