Abstract (original English)

To explore the feasibility of three-dimensional (3D) bioprinted adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) combined with gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) to construct tissue engineered cartilage. Adipose tissue voluntarily donated by liposuction patients was collected to isolate and culture human ADSCs (hADSCs). The third generation cells were mixed with GelMA hydrogel and photoinitiator to make biological ink. The hADSCs-GelMA composite scaffold was prepared by 3D bioprinting technology, and it was observed in general, and observed by scanning electron microscope after cultured for 1 day and chondrogenic induction culture for 14 days. After cultured for 1, 4, and 7 days, the composite scaffolds were taken for live/dead cell staining to observe cell survival rate; and cell counting kit 8 (CCK-8) method was used to detect cell proliferation. The composite scaffold samples cultured in cartilage induction for 14 days were taken as the experimental group, and the composite scaffolds cultured in complete medium for 14 days were used as the control group. Real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) was performed to detect cartilage formation. The relative expression levels of the mRNA of cartilage matrix gene [(aggrecan, ACAN)], chondrogenic regulatory factor (SOX9), cartilage-specific gene [collagen type Ⅱ A1 (COLⅡA1)], and cartilage hypertrophy marker gene [collagen type ⅩA1 (COLⅩA1)] wer
