الوصف: | Electrical stimulation (ES) is a widely discussed topic in the field of cartilage tissue engineering due to its ability to induce chondrogenic differentiation (CD) and proliferation. It shows promise as a potential therapy for osteoarthritis (OA). In this study, we stimulated mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) incorporated into collagen hydrogel (CH) scaffolds, consisting of approximately 500,000 cells each, for 1 h per day using a 2.5 Vpp (119 mV/mm) 8 Hz sinusoidal signal. We compared the cell count, morphology, and CD on days 4, 7, and 10. The results indicate proliferation, with an increase ranging from 1.86 to 9.5-fold, particularly on day 7. Additionally, signs of CD were observed. The stimulated cells had a higher volume, while the stimulated scaffolds showed shrinkage. In the ES groups, up-regulation of collagen type 2 and aggrecan was found. In contrast, SOX9 was up-regulated in the control group, and MMP13 showed a strong up-regulation, indicating cell stress. In addition to lower stress levels, the control groups also showed a more spheroidic shape. Overall, scaffold-based ES has the potential to achieve multiple outcomes. However, finding the appropriate stimulation pattern is crucial for achieving successful chondrogenesis. |
