Abstract:

To mimic the ordered arrangement of type Ⅰ collagen in natural tissue, a collagen films with liquid crystal-liked ordered surface were fabricated utilizing the liquid crystal state of concentrated collagen. And the effects of the topography on the behavior of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells(hUCMSCs) were studied in vitro. The results showed that the collagen fibrils arranged directly on the surface of the collagen films when the concentration was over 120 mg/mL. This ordered structure improved significantly the adhesion and proliferation of hUCMSCs. In addition, it also increased the expression of osteogenic gene such as ALP, Collagen Ⅰ , RUNX2, Osterix, OCN and OPN, which meant that hUCMSCs had a stronger differentiation potency on the ordered surface than on the unordered surface.

Key words: Type Ⅰ, collagen, Liquid crystal-liked ordered structure, Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell(hUCMSC), Osteogenic differentiation
