Objective To investigate the biocompatibility of p(3HB-co-3HH) and marrow mesenchymal stell cells (MSCs).
Methods MSCs were inoculated to p(3HB-co-3HH), and then cultured for 2-4 weeks in vitro and embedded for 2 weeks in vivo. The growth, proliferation, morphology and phenotype properties of MSCs were observed by use of phase contrast microscope, electron microscope, HE staining and staining of type Ⅰ collagen. Results p(3HB-co-3HH) hadgood compatibility. The inoculated MSCs could be well-distributed, attached well and obtain the phenotype of MSCs in p(3HB-co-3HH). After osteogenic inducer were added, MSCs differentiated to osteoblasts and secreted matrix. Type Ⅰ collagen was stained positively by immunohistochemical techenique. Conclusion The above results demonstrate that there is satisfactory biocompatibility betweenp(3HB-co-3HH) and MSCs.
