Abstract：
:We have recently developed a polymer which contains silsesquioxane in the form of nano-bridges poly(carbonate-silsesquioxane-bridge-urea)urethane (PCBSU) for cardiovascular device applications. The polymer has been characterised and the durability has been confirmed with long-term in vivo tests. The aim of this study was to test the cytocompatibility of the new polymer and to investigate any potential cytotoxic effects. To assess the effect of direct contact with PCBSU sections of polymer material were cut and placed into a 24-well plate. Six discs were seeded with 2 x 10(5) human umbilical vein cells (HUVEC). As a positive control, six wells were seeded with the same number of HUVEC. In a further experiment to assess indirect contact with PCBSU a sample of the polymer was powdered using a Micro-Dismembrator. Cell culture medium was exposed to powdered polymer (1-100 mg/ml) for a period of 7 days. HUVEC seeded as above were then exposed to the treated cell culture medium for 24 and 96 h. Finally, cell proliferation was studied over 16 days by seeding 2 x 10(5) HUVEC on films of PCBSU cast in glass Petri dishes. Cell viability and growth were assessed using Alamar blue, lactate dehydrogenase and Pico green assays and morphology was studied by Toluidine blue staining and scanning electron microscopy. Viable cells were demonstrated to be present after 16 days seeded on PCBSU. Exposing cells to PCBSU-treated cell culture medium resulted in no apparent damage to the cells at concentrations of 1 or 10 mg/ml, and only a slight reduction at 100 mg/ml after 96 h exposure. This study demonstrates that PCBSU can support the growth of endothelial cells for a prolonged period and does not demonstrate any significant toxic effects to cells. Thus it has the potential to be used both as a medical device and as scaffolding in tissue engineering applications.
