Controlled‐release of IGF‐I and TGF‐β1 in a photopolymerizing hydrogel for cartilage tissue engineering
Abstract
Photopolymerizing hydrogel systems provide a method to encapsulate cells and implant materials in a minimally invasive manner. Controlled release of growth factors in the hydrogels may enhance the ability to engineer tissues. IGF‐I and TGF‐β were loaded in PLGA microspheres using a double emulsion technique. 125 ng and 200 pg of active IGF‐I and TGF‐β, respectively, as measured by ELISA, were released over 15 days. The growth factor containing microspheres were photoencapsulated with bovine articular chondrocytes in PEO‐based hydrogels and incubated in vitro for two weeks. Statistically significant changes in glycosaminoglycan (GAG) production compared to control gels either without microspheres or with blank spheres were observed after a 14 day incubation with IGF‐I and IGF‐I/TGF‐β microspheres combined, with a maximum density of 8.41 ± 2.5% wet weight GAG. Total collagen density was low and decreased with the IGF‐I/TGF‐β microspheres after two weeks incubation, but otherwise remained unchanged in all other experimental groups. Cell content increased 10‐fold to 0.18 ± 0.056 × 10 6 cells/mg wet weight and extracellular matrix (ECM) staining by H&E increased in hydrogels with IGF‐I/TGF‐β microspheres. In conclusion, photoencapsulation of microspheres in PEO‐based hydrogels provides a method to deliver molecules such as growth factors in porous hydrogel systems. © 2001 Orthopaedic Research Society.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
