소수성 표면성질을 나타내고 있는 poly(L-lactide-co-glycolide) (75 : 25 by mole ratio of lactide to glycolide, PLGA) 표면의 세포적합성을 증가시키기 위하여 물리화학적 처리방법으로 표면개질 하였다. 물리적 방법으로는 코로나 방전 및 플라즈마 처리가, 화학적인 방법으로는 70% 염소산, 50% 황산 및 0.5 N 가성소다 수용액으로 처리하였다. 처리된 PLGA 표면의 물접촉각은 73$^{\circ}$에서 50~60$^{\circ}$로 감소하였고 electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis의 분석결과, 알킬탄소는 감소되는 반면, 산소를 포함하는 탄소 관능기들이 상대적으로 증가함을 보여 친수화의 주원인으로 사료되었다. 섬유아세포의 배양 결과 control에 비하여 처리된 PLGA상에 점착 및 성장거동이 우월하게 관측되어 본 처리 방법이 세포적합성을 증가시켰다고 사료된다. 결론적으로 PLGA 표면의 적심성에 있어서 친수화는 세포의 점착 및 성장에 중요한 역할을 하늘 것으로 확인되었다.

Poly(L-lactide-co-glycolide)(PLGA) was blended with poly[$\omega$-methacryloyloxyethyl phospho-rylcholine-co-ethylhexylmethacrylate (PMEH)] (PLGA/PMEH) to endow with new functionality i.e., to improve the cell-, tissue- and blood-compatibility. The characteristics of surface properties were investigated by measurement of contact angle goniometer, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy with attenuated total reflectance (FTIR-ATR) and electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA). NIH/3T3 fibroblast and bovine aortic endothelial cell were cultured on control and PLGA/PMEH surfaces for the evaluation of ceil attachment and proliferation in terms of surface functionality such as the concentration of phosphoryl-choline. Also, the behavior of platelet adhesion on PLGA/PMEH was observed in terms of the surface functionality. The contact angles on control and PLGA/PMEH surfaces decreased with increasing PMEH content from 75$^{\circ}$ to about 43$^{\circ}$. It was observed from the FTIR-ATR spectra that phosphorylcholine groups are gradually increased with increasing blended amount of MPC. The experimental P percent values from ESCA analysis were more 3.28∼7.4 times than that of the theoretical P percent for each blend films. These results clearly indicated that the MPC units were concentrated on the surface of PLGA/PMEH blend. The control and PLGA/PMEH films with 0.5 to 10.0 wt% concentration of PMEH were used to evaluate cell adhesion and growth in terms of phosphorylcholine functionality and wettability. Cell adhesion and growth on PLGA/PMEH surfaces were less active than those of control and both cell number decreased with increasing PMEH contents without the effect of surface wettability. It can be explained that the fibronectin adsorption decreased with an increase in the surface density of phosphorylcholine functional group. One can conclude the amount of the protein adsorption and the adhesion number of cells can be controlled and nonspecifically reduced by the introduction with phosphorylcholine group. Morphology of the adhered platelets on the PLGA/PMEH surface showed lower activating than control and the number of adhered platelets on the PLGA/PMEH sample decreased with increasing the phosphorylcholine contents. The amount of fibrinogen adsorbed on the PLGA/PMEH surface demonstrated that the phospholipid polar group played an important role in reducing protein adsorption on the surface. In conclusion, this surface modification technique might be effectively used PLGA film and scaffolds for controlling the adhesion and growth of cell and tissue, furthermore, blood compatibility of the PLGA was improved by blending of the MPC polymer for the application of tissue engineering fields.
