제목 Hyaluronic acid induced nanostructural changes in polypeptide thermogel promote 3D culture of chondrocytes
초록 Hyaluronic acid is the component of extracellular matrix of articular cartilage. To investigate the effect of the HA in the tissue engineering application, we cultured chondrocytes in a 3D matrix of polypeptide thermogel. Cryo-TEM image of the gel showed that the incorporation of the HA in the polypeptide thermal gel induced the nanobundle formation in the hydrogel which can mimics the natural extracellular matrix of the articular cartilage. Compared with the thermogel without HA, the HA incorporated thermogel decreased the gel modulus, however cell proliferation and biomarker expression such as sulfated glucoaminoglycan and type II collagen for articular cartilage were significantly improved by using the HA as an excipient of the thermoal gel during the 3D culture.
