Preparation of EVAL membranes with smooth and particulate morphologies for neuronal culture.

Abstract:

:In this work, the in vitro interaction of cerebellar granule neurons prepared from 7-day-old Wistar rats and poly ethylene-co-vinyl alcohol (EVAL) membranes was investigated. Cells were cultured in smooth and particulate EVAL membranes for up to 7 days. Particulate membranes were prepared by using 1-octanol to precipitate EVAL solutions in DMSO. Such a membrane was microporous characterized by a packed bed of particles. Voids left between the aggregated particles formed a continuous and interconnected porous network. Crystallization of the EVAL polymer induced by 1-octanol is responsible for the formation of particulate morphology. The membrane structure and its relationship with cells were examined by scanning electron microscopy and the MTT assay. It was observed that the particulate membrane was more favorable for the neuron culture than the smooth membrane. Neurons seeded on the particulate membrane were able to regenerate with formation of an extensive neuritic network. Therefore, the particulate structure may spatially mediate cellular response that can promote neuronal cell attachment, differentiation and neuritic growth, indicating that the particulate structure should be useful as a new polymer scaffold for nerve repair.
