Abstract (original English)

Surface topography and chemical characteristics can regulate stem cell proliferation and differentiation, and decrease the bone-healing time. However, the synergetic function of the surface structure and chemical cues in bone-regeneration repair was rarely studied. Herein, a strontium ion (Sr 2+ )-substituted surface hydroxyapatite (HA) hexagon-like microarray was successfully constructed on 3D-plotted HA porous scaffold through hydrothermal reaction to generate topography and chemical dual cues. The crystal phase of the Sr 2+ -substituted surface microarray was HA, while the lattice constant of the Sr 2+ -substituted microarray increased with increasing Sr 2+ -substituted amount. Sr 2+ -substituted microarray could achieve the sustainable release of Sr 2+ , which could effectively promote osteogenic differentiation of human adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) even without osteogenic-induced media. Osteogenic characteristics were optimally enhanced using the higher Sr 2+ -substituted surface microarray (8Sr-HA). Sr 2+ -substituted microarray on the scaffold surface could future improve the osteogenic performance of HA porous scaffold. These results indicated that the Sr 2+ -substituted HA surface hexagon-like microarray on 3D-plotted HA scaffolds had promising biological performance for bone-regeneration repair scaffold.
