Abstract
There is increasing interest in biomaterials that could potentially be used in the form of scaffolds as bone substitutes. In this study we used an electromagnetic bioreactor (magnetic field intensity, 2 mT; frequency, 75 Hz) to investigate the effect of the electromagnetic stimulation on SAOS-2 human gene expression. In comparison with static conditions (without electromagnetic stimulation) RT -PCR analysis revealed the electromagnetically upregulated expression of many and specific genes of bone. Results show that the bioreactor increase cell colonization of polyurethane scaffolds. We think that a better result could be obtained using bone marrow stromal osteoblasts instead of SAOS-2 cells and cultured biomaterial could be used, in clinical applications, as an osteoinductive implant for bone repair. Materials and Methods. Cells: Human osteosarcoma cell line SAOS-2 was obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, HTB85, Rockville, MD, USA). Cells were cultured at 37°C with 5% C02, routinely trypsinized, counted, and seeded onto the porous polyurethane scaffolds. Electromagnetic bioreactor: It consists of a calTying structure custom¬machined in a tube of polymethylmethacrylate; the windowed tube carried a well-plate and two solenoids with parallel planes.
