摘要

Introduction: Hyaluronan (HA), a native extracellular matrix component, is an attractive starting material to generate cell scaffolds in tissue regeneration. However, the formation of dimensionally and mechanically stable scaffolds with defined inter-connective porosity is hampered by the high solution viscosity of HA even at low concentrations, its high swellability and susceptibility against degradation. A promising approach to stable and biocompatible scaffolds avoiding cytotoxic reagents is the electron-beam initiated cryogel formation using (meth)acrylated polysaccharides. Here we present data on the fabrication, characterization and biological compatibility of HA-cryogels for the culture of primary human dermal fibroblasts with the perspective to develop skin compatible scaffolds. Materials and Methods: Two HA acrylates (DS = 0.8 and 1.0, resp., MW = 70 -90 kDa) were synthesized by phase-transfer catalyzed acylation of HA with acryloyl chloride. Cryogels were prepared as described by Reichelt et al. Briefly, 2-3 wt.-% aqueous solutions of HA acrylates were degassed and frozen in centrifuge tubes at -20 °C for 2 h. The irradiation of 12 kGy total was applied in 3 kGy steps using a 10 MeV LINAC at -17 °C. The cryogels were characterized with respect to mechanical and swelling properties, gel content and thermal stability. For biological testing the cryogels were seeded with primary foreskin fibroblasts and cultured with continuous shaking. The cells were investigated concerning cell proliferation, gene expression and matrix deposition within the cryogels by XTT assay, quantitative qPCR and (immuno)histochemical staining techniques, respectively. Results and Discussion: Thin cryogel films (2 mm thick) were successfully synthesized by electron-beam initiated cross-linking. The degree of swelling and the gel content were determined to be 43 and 80 %, resp. The pore size was in the typical range (50-70 μm). We established an effective seeding protocol enabling the growth of huFb for at least 28 days in vitro. The cell proliferation was as effective as on collagen-coated reference surfaces during the first 48h and could be quantified for further four days. Gene expression analysis demonstrated that huFb were regulated by TGFβ and PDGF-BB with induction of known target genes like collagen Ⅰ(αⅠ) or HA synthase 2 suggesting an adequate physiological behavior of the cells grown within the cryogels. Histochemical analysis demonstrates that Fb settled the cryogels completely and deposited their own matrix of collagens and glycosaminoglycans. Human Fb were viable after 4 weeks of culture and the cryogel structure remained stable. Conclusions: Cryogels were prepared by an electron-beam initiated crosslinking reaction of HA acrylates omitting the use of potentially toxic reagents. The morphology and mechanical properties of the obtained cryogels may be tailored by variation of the composition of the HA derivatives (e. g. degree of acrylation) and the reaction parameters (e. g. polymer concentration). The cryogels are very effective growth substrates for huFb which proliferate and deposit their own matrix within the pores. Taken together, HA-based cryogels are promising biomaterials for the development of pre-seeded tissue equivalents.
