RESUMO
In this study, we developed an osteoplastic material based on collagen-fibronectin hydrogel impregnated with siRNA molecules targeting glycogen synthase kinase 3ß (GSK3ß), which inhibits the osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells. The hydrogel impregnated with polyplexes containing siRNA GSK3ß and polyethylenimine has been shown to have no cytotoxic effect: there was no statistically significant change in the cell's viability after 7 days of incubation in its presence compared to the control group. On days 2 and 7, an increase in the level of expression of markers of osteogenic differentiation was observed, which confirms the osteoinductive qualities of the material. It has been demonstrated that the hydrogel maintains cell adhesion. Our results obtained in vitro indicate cytocompatibility and osteoinductive properties of collagen-fibronectin hydrogel impregnated with siRNA GSK3ß molecules.
