Abstract
Magnesium (Mg) ions are the most abundant intracellular divalent cations and play a pivotal role in numerous cellular processes. Biodegradable Mg-containing materials, including scaffolds, are promising candidates for orthopedic applications. Here, we investigated the effect of Mg ions on the cellular properties of osteoblasts. Cytotoxicity tests on osteoblasts confirmed that no cytotoxic effects were found up to a supplementing Mg ion concentration of 10 mM. Mg ions at a concentration of 5 mM increased the migration and invasiveness of osteoblasts. To investigate the stimulatory effect of Mg ions on cell motility in scaffolds, we fabricated 10 wt% Mg ion-containing polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffolds, using the wire-network molding (WNM) technique. Mg ion-containing scaffolds persistently released Mg ions at a concentration of 5 mM in the media after pre-incubation. Furthermore, increased cell motility was confirmed in Mg ion-containing scaffolds by quantification of genomic DNA and protein content. Our results provide an important basis for the function of Mg ions and their effect on cell motility, and propose a novel role for Mg ions in scaffold applications.
