- Abstract
- In this study, hyaluronic acid-gelatin (HyA-Gel) scaffolds were prepared with HyA:Gel ratios of 15:85, 50:50, and 85:15 with the goal of obtaining a porous biocompatible scaffold for bone tissue engineering applications. Scanning electron microscopy and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy were done to characterize the morphological orientations of the scaffolds. The biocomposite structure was highly porous and the pores in the scaffolds were interconnected. The compressive strength of the scaffold was 7.39 +/- A 0.2 MPa for the HyA-Gel when fabricated at a ratio of 15:85. To assess the biocompatibility and cell behavior on the HyA-Gel biocomposite, the proliferation of MG-63 osteoblast cell on the scaffolds was examined using the MTT assay, optical microscopy, and confocal microscopy. Collagen type I and osteopontin expression of cells cultured on the scaffolds were examined using immunoblotting. The scaffolds fabricated with a 15:85-HyA:Gel ratio showed excellent biocompatibility, good mechanical properties, and high porosity, which suggest that the highly porous scaffold holds great promise for use in bone tissue engineering applications.
