Chondrogenesis of mesenchymal stromal cells on the 3D printed polycaprolactone/fibrin/decellular cartilage matrix hybrid scaffolds in the presence of piascledine.

Nowadays, cartilage tissue engineering (CTE) is considered important due to lack of repair of cartilaginous lesions and the absence of appropriate methods for treatment. In this study, polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffolds were fabricated by three-dimensional (3D) printing and were then coated with fibrin (F) and acellular solubilized extracellular matrix (ECM). After extracting adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs), 3D-printed scaffolds were characterized and compared to hydrogel groups. After inducing the chondrogenic differentiation in the presence of Piascledine and comparing it with TGF-β3 for 28 days, the expression of genes involved in chondrogenesis (AGG, COLII) and the expression of the hypertrophic gene (COLX) were examined by real-time PCR. The expression of proteins COLII and COLX was also determined by immunohistochemistry. Glycosaminoglycan was measured by toluidine blue staining. 3D-printed scaffolds clearly improved cell proliferation, viability, water absorption and compressive strength compared to the hydrogel groups. Moreover, the use of compounds such as ECM and Piascledine in the process of ADSCs chondrogenesis induction increased cartilage-specific markers and decreased the hypertrophic marker compared to TGF-β3. In Piascledine groups, the expression of COLL II protein, COLL II and Aggrecan genes, and the amount of glycosaminoglycan showed a significant increase in the PCL/F/ECM compared to the PCL and PCL/F groups.
