Gelatin interpenetration in poly N-isopropylacrylamide network reduces the compressive modulus of the scaffold: A property employed to mimic hepatic matrix stiffness.

Abstract:

:The progression of liver disease from normal to cirrhotic state is characterized by modulation of the stiffness of the extracellular matrix (ECM). Mimicking this modulation in vitro scaffold could provide a better insight into hepatic cell behavior. In this study, interpenetrating poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-gelatin) cryogels were synthesized in 48 different compositions to yield scaffolds of different properties. It was observed that a high concentration of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAm) leads to the formation of small pores while gelatin interpenetration on poly-NIPAAm framework renders porous structure. Swelling properties and porosity of the gels decreased with an increase in NIPAAm concentration owing to the increased compactness of the gels. Gelatin interpenetration relaxed the gels and enhanced these properties. An increase in gelatin concentration led to a reduction in compressive moduli indicating that gelatin interpenetration in the poly-NIPAAm network softens the cryogel. With the increase in NIPAAm concentration, the effect of gelatin interpenetration in reducing the compressive moduli expanded. The cytocompatibility studies indicated that the gels are cell-adherent and compatible with HepG2. Furthermore, biochemical and real-time polymerase chain reaction studies revealed that HepG2 and Huh-7 cells cultured on scaffolds mimicking the ECM stiffness of normal liver (1.5-2.5 kPa) exhibited optimum liver-specific functionalities. Increasing the stiffness to fibrotic (4-9 kPa) and cirrhotic (10-20 kPa) ECM decreases the functionality.
