Abstract
To investigate the cytotoxicity of silk fibroin/gelatin (SF/G) composite scaffolds in vitro as well as their biocompatibility and degradation in vivo. The proliferation and relative growth rate of human hepatic QZG cells grown on different blends of two-dimensional (2-D) SF/G scaffolds were assessed using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Flow cytometry was used to evaluate apoptotic rate of QZG cells on different blends of 2-D SF/G scaffolds. The effect of silk protein materials on cell growth was observed by scanning electron microscopy. Three-dimensional (3-D) SF/G scaffolds of three different ratios (diameter 10 mm, thickness 1 mm) were implanted into subcutaneous pockets on male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. On the 7th, 14th and 30th day post-implantation, the rats were sacrificed. The scaffold area including the surrounding tissues was retrieved. Hematoxylin and eosin staining was performed for observation under a light microscope. Significant cell attachment and proliferation on the SF/G scaffolds were observed. As the increased gelatin concentration, SF/G scaffolds became more amenable to cell adhesion. After the subcutaneous implantation of the SF/G scaffolds in SD rats, immunolo...Continue Reading
