RESUMEN
Mesenchymal stem cells with tissue repair capacity involve in regenerative medicine. MSCs can promote bone repair when employed with nano scaffolds/particles. Here, the MTT and Acridine Orange assay enabled the cytotoxic concentration of Zinc oxide nanoparticles and Polyurethane evaluation. Following culturing adipose tissue-derived MSCs, ADSCs' proliferation, growth, and osteogenic differentiation in the presence of PU with and without ZnO NPs is tracked by a series of biological assays, including Alkaline Phosphatase activity, Calcium deposition, alizarin red staining, RT-PCR, scanning electron microscope, and immunohistochemistry. The results showed boosted osteogenic differentiation of ADSCs in the presence of 1% PU scaffold and ZnO NPS and can thus apply as a new bone tissue engineering matrix. The expression level of Osteonectin, Osteocalcin, and Col1 increased in PU-ZnO 1% on the 7th and 14th days. There was an increase in the Runx2 gene expression on the 7th day of differentiation in PU-ZnO 1%, while it decreased on day 14th. In conclusion, Polyurethane nano scaffolds supported the MSCs' growth and rapid osteogenic differentiation. The PU-ZnO helps not only with cellular adhesion and proliferation but also with osteogenic differentiation.
