Abstract

Objective: To explore the effects of low level laser irradiation (LLLI) on the osteogenic capacity of three-dimensional (3D) structure by 3D bio-printing construct used human adipose-derived stem cells (hASCs) as seed cells. Methods: Using hASCs as seed cells, we prepared sodium alginate/gelatin/hASCs 3D bio-printing construct, and divided them into four groups: PM (proliferative medium), PM+LLLI, OM (osteogenic medium) and OM+LLLI, and the total doses of LLLI was 4 J/cm2. Immunofluorescence microscopy was used to observe the viability of the cells, and analyze the expression of the osteogenesis-related protein Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) and osteocalcin (OCN). Results: The 3D constructs obtained by printing were examined by microscope. The sizes of these 3D constructs were 10 mm×10 mm×1.5 mm. The wall thickness of the printed gelatin mold was approximately 1 mm, and the pores were round and had a diameter of about 700 μm. The cell viability of sodium alginate/gelatin/hASCs 3D bio-printing construct was high, and the difference among the four groups was not significant. On day 7, the expression of OCN from high to low was group OM+LLLI, PM+LLLI, OM and PM. There were significant differences among these groups (P<0.01), but there was no significant difference between group PM+LLLI and OM. On day 14, the expression of OCN in each group was hi-gher than that on day 7, and there was no significant difference between group OM+LLLI and OM. The expression of Runx2 in group OM+LLLI was more than 90%, significantly higher than that in group OM (P<0.01). But the expression of Runx2 in group PM+LLLI and OM+LLLI were significantly lower than that in the non-irradiated groups. The expression of osteogenesis-related protein Runx2 and OCN were higher in OM groups than in PM groups. Furthermore, the irradiated groups were significantly higher than the non-irradiated groups. Conclusion: LLLI does not affect the cell viability of sodium alginate/gelatin/hASCs 3D bio-printing construct, and may promote the osteogenic differentiation of hASCs.
