which is prepared Ala) peptide, on (MSCs) in mice. the functionalized ceils and compare Objective To investigate the effect of functionalized self-assembling peptide DGEAmx, by modifying C terminal of self-assembling peptide RADA16-I with I)GEA (Asp-Gly-Glu- the cell adhesion, proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of bone mesenchymal stem cells Methods An atomic force microscope was used to detect nanostructure characteristics of self-assembling peptide DGEAmx. An inverted microscope was employed to count adherent cell adhesion. The proliferation of the MSCs was observed bv cell counting kit (CCK) -8 assay. Cell morphology was observed with a laser confocal microscope. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and expression of osteogenic differentiation-specific genes collagen I (ICAM-1) and osteocalcin (OCN) were detected to evaluate osteogenic differentiation of the MSCs. Results The atomic force microscope observation found that functionalized self-assembling peptide DGEAmx was capable of forming nanofiber network structure. Cell counting result showed that the adherent cells on the DGEAmx scaffold were more than those on the RADA16-I scaffold at 30, 60 and 90 min (P 〈 0.05 ). CCK-8 assay results showed that the proliferation of the MSCs on the DGEAmx scaffold was significantly increased on days 3, 5 and 7 (P 〈 0. 05 ). The MSCs cultured on the DGEAmx scaffold showed higher ALP activity and higher ICAM-1 and OCN expressions compared with those on the RADA16-I scaffold on days 3, 7 and 14 (P 〈 0. 05). Conclusion The functionalized self-assembling peptide DGEAmx nanofiber hydrogel scaffold can promote the adhesion, proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of the MSCs, and has good potential as bone tissue engineering scaffold.
