Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of various mechanical stimuli for MC3T3-E1 cells. Among the several mechanical stimulations, we focused on compressive stain and ultrasound. In this study, we developed a bioreactor capable of applying controlled stimuli to scaffolds. PLLA/PCL scaffold was fabricated by using salt-leaching method. We performed dynamic cell culture using preosteoblasts MC3T3-E1 cells with 1MHz, 30mW/cm2 ultrasound and 10% of compressive strain. Result of CCK-8 analysis at 1, 4, 7, 10 days showed that mechanical stimuli had no significant effect for cell proliferation. However, those stimuli influenced ALP(Alkaline phopatase) activity, which is one of differentiation marker.
