Regulation of osteoblast gene expression and phenotype by polylactide-fatty acid surfaces.

Abstract

Cell function is influenced by surface structure and molecules. Molecules that enhance cellular differentiation can be applied to tissue scaffold surfaces to stimulate endogenous tissue regeneration. The application of this approach to bone implants yields surfaces coated with factors (proteins, peptides, etc...) that promote the differentiation of osteoblasts, the cells that make bone. Increased bone formation leads to increased healing and union of the implant with endogenous bone. To obtain better control over surface coating we developed PLLA copolymers with allyl (PLLA-co-DAG) and 3-hydroxypropyl (PLLA-co-HP) side chains to which we can attach functional groups. Given the potential of fatty acids being able to incorporate into lipid bilayers and/or influence gene expression, we grafted different fatty acid side chains to PLLA-co-HP by esterifying the corresponding fatty acids with the PLLA-co-HP 3-hydroxypropyl side chains. The effects of the polymer modifications on osteoblasts were then evaluated. While cellular morphology differed between surface coatings, they did not reflect changes in cellular phenotype. Changes in gene expression were most evident with arachidonate and 3-hydroxypropyl side-chains which exhibited ost...Continue Reading
