Abstract
Mimicking the complex intricacies of the extra cellular matrix (ECM) including three dimensional configurations and aligned fibrous structures were traditionally perused for producing cartilage tissue from stem cells. Here, we show that human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hADMSCs) established significant chondrogenic differentiation and may generate quality cartilage when cultured on two dimensional (2D) and randomly oriented fibrinogen/poly-lactic acid (FBG/PLA) nanofibers compared to a three dimensional (3D) sandwich-like environments. The adhering cells showed well-developed focal adhesion complexes and actin cytoskeleton arrangements confirming the proper cellular interaction with either random or aligned nanofibers. However, quantitative reverse transcriptionpolymerase chain reaction analysis for Collagen 2 and Collagen 10 genes expression confirmed favourable chondrogenic response of hADMSCs on random nanofibers and showed substantially higher efficacy of their differentiation in 2D configuration versus 3D constructs. These findings introduce a new direction for cartilage tissue engineering through providing a simple platform for the routine generation of transplantable stem cells-derived articular cartilage replacement that might improve joint function.
