Abstract (original English)
This study describes an injectable, thermo-responsive hyaluronic acid-g-chitosan-g-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (HA-CPN) copolymer for bone tissue engineering. The wettability, temperature-dependent change of water content, and volume of HA-CPN hydrogel were measured, together with its biocompatibility in vitro and in vivo. The dried hydrogel morphology shows a three-dimensional, porous structure with interconnected pores. Canine bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (cBMSCs) were encapsulated in HA-CPN hydrogel and osteoinduction was assessed by comparing samples with different osteogenic differentiation induction times but with the same total cell culture time. Cell proliferation and time-dependent osteogenic differentiation, evident from secretion of extracellular matrix and formation of mineral deposits, were observed. The cells showed better proliferation in HA-CPN hydrogel than on tissue culture polystyrene after osteo-induced for 21 days and higher alkaline phosphatase activity regardless of osteo-induction times. Mineralization extent of cBMSCs in HA-CPN followed by Alizarin red stains showed positive stained nodules after osteo-induced longer than 7 days. The cells/hydrogel construct also showed increased mechanical strength and elasticity after osteogenic differentiation, and the increase could be correlated with osteo-induction time. In vivo studies confirmed the
