Abstract (original English)

Developing a polymer-based photocrosslinked 3D printable scaffolds comprised of gelatin methacryloyl (G) and hyaluronic acid methacryloyl (H) incorporated with two molecular weights of polyethylene glycol diacrylate (P) of various concentrations that enables rabbit adipose-derived stem cells (rADSCs) to survive, grow, and differentiate into smooth muscle cells (SMCs). Then, the chemical modification and physicochemical properties of the PGH bioinks were evaluated. The cell viability was assessed via MTT, CCK-8 assay and visualized employing Live/Dead assay. In addition, the morphology and nucleus count of differentiated SMCs were investigated by adopting TRAP (tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase) staining, and quantitative RT-PCR analysis was applied to detect gene expression using two different SMC-specific gene markers α-SMA and SM-MHC. The SMC-specific protein markers namely α-SMA and SM-MHC were applied to investigate SMC differentiation ability by implementing Immunocytofluorescence staining (ICC) and western blotting. Moreover, the disk, square, and tubular cellular models of PGH7 (GelMA/HAMA=2/1) + PEGDA-8000 Da, 3% w/v) hybrid bioink were printed using an extrusion bioprinting and cell viability of rADSCs was also analysed within 3D printed square construct practising Live/Dead assay. The results elicited the overall viability of SMCs, conserving its phenotype in biocom
