Abstract/OtherAbstract:
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to fabricate a novel composite porous scaffold by blending chitosan and gamma-poly(glutamic acid) (gamma-PGA) for the sustained delivery of rhBMP-2. METHODS: Chitosan and gamma-PGA were blended to fabricate a novel porous scaffold by the freeze-gelation method. For comparison, scaffolds made of freeze-dried chitosan, freeze-dried PLLA, and freeze-gelled chitosan were also prepared. The scaffolds were loaded with rhBMP-2, and then the controlled release of rhBMP-2 from the scaffolds was assessed by ELISA. RESULTS: The freeze-gelled chitosan/gamma-PGA scaffold (M0=318.29 ng, k=0.32 d(-1)) gave the most satisfactory release curve, followed by the freeze-gelled chitosan (M0=392.76 ng, k=0.59 d(-1)), freeze-dried chitosan (M0=229.21 ng, k=2.28 d(-1)), and freeze-dried PLLA (M0=8.4 ng, k=482.54 d(-1)) scaffolds. In the stability test, p-dioxane (the solvent for PLLA) seriously deteriorated rhBMP-2, whereas acetic acid (the solvent for chitosan) did not. SIGNIFICANCE: A novel chitosan/gamma-PGA composite scaffold for the controlled release of rhBMP-2 was established, with an enhanced release amount and sustained release behavior. This scaffold has many potential applications in bone regenerative therapies.
