This study evaluates the growth of cells on different types of scaffolds, including decellularized, synthetic, collagen-coated, and fibronectin-coated scaffolds. The analysis focuses on the proliferation, differentiation, and attachment of C2C12, 3T3, and MG63 cells. Results suggest that fibronectin-coated scaffolds promote the best proliferation and confluency for MG63 cells, while collagen-coated scaffolds are more favorable for C2C12 differentiation. Further investigations using objective measures and 3D structures are recommended for a comprehensive understanding of cell growth on scaffolds.

RECELLULARIZING DECELLULARIZED SCAFFOLDS Dominic Polsinelli Central Catholic HighSchool Grade11
Scaffolds • Scaffolds are structures on which cellscan grow • They can be synthetic, for instance PLA scaffolds • They can also beorganic
Decellularizedscaffolds • Decellularized scaffolds are the extracellular matrix ofcells • They are called decellularized because everything but this ecm isremoved • New cells can grow on and throughout this ecm
3T3Cells • CelllineestablishedfromSwissmouse embryo tissue • Standard fibroblast cell line • Do not differentiate, produceECM components inconnective tissue • Often used in the cultivation of keratinocytes, with the 3T3 cells secretinggrowthfactorsfavorableto these kinds ofcells.
C2C12Cells • Subclone of the mus musculus(mouse) myoblast cellline. • A common TE experimentalmodel • Differentiates rapidly, forming contractile myotomes andproduces characteristic muscleproteins. • Useful model to study thedifferentiation of nonmuscle cells (stem cells) to skeletal musclecells.
MG63Cells • Human cancer cellline • Osteosarcoma cells, an aggressive form ofbone cancer • Useful model to testthe effects of variables on cancer cellsurvivorship
Collagen • The main connective protein in thebody • The most abundant protein in thebody • Provides a support structurefor cells • Main component ofligaments andcartilage
Fibronectin • An important component ofthe extra cellularmatrix • Plays a role in cell adhesion, migration, anddifferentiation
Spin coatingtechnology • Spin coating is a method of coating a surface with avery thincoating • This is done by spinning the substrate being coated very quickly and dripping a solution of whatever you want to coat thesubstrate
Purpose • To evaluate the growth of cell on different scaffoldtypes
Hypothesis • I hypothesize that the collagen coated glass scaffolds will have the best growth, followed by fibronectin, followed by the uncoated glass scaffolds for all celltypes • The null hypothesis is that there will be no variation in cell attachment, differentiation, or proliferation among scaffold typesfor each cell type
Materials • Spun coatscaffolds • C2C12, 3T3, and MG63 celllines • DMEMmedia • Evosmicroscope • 6 wellplates • Gloves • Powerpipettes • Phosphate buffersolution • Ethanol • Toludineblue • Laminar flowhood • Labcoat
Procedure • Scaffolds were placed in 6 wellplates • Each cell type was cultured to approximately 10^6 cells per milliliter in a T75flask • These cells were trypsinized and 3mL of the resulting cell suspension was put into each well of a 6 wellplate • These wells were stored in an incubator at 37 degrees Celsius with 5% CO2 concentration • The cells were imaged every 4 days and the media waschanged
Analysis forC2C12 • The collagen appeared to have the most myotube formation followed by fibronectin, and lastly by uncoatedglass • The last set of pictures has lower quantities of cellsbecause of media contamination but myotubes can be seenforming
3T3Analysis • There didn’t seem to be significant differencein proliferation or confluency for 3T3cells
Analysis ofMG63 • The MG63 cells appeared to proliferate most on the fibronectin, followed by the collagen, followed by the uncoatedglass
Limitations andExtensions • The lack of cell counts, protein assays, or any other purely objective measure of scaffold effect on cellbehavior • Not using the decellularized scaffolds as Ioriginally intended • Do a protein assay or cellcounts • Use 3D decellularizedstructure • Image the exact same place on the scaffold every day for a better analysis of cellgrowth
Conclusion • The fibronectin seemed to be the best for MG63 proliferation and confluency followed by collagen and lastly byglass • C2C12 differentiated the best on collagen, second beston fibronectin and worst on the uncoatedglass • The 3T3 cells did not seem to be effected, this may be due to them being fibroblasts and secreting their ownecm
