Abstract

Ipriflavone (IP), a non-hormonal isoflavone derivative, has been shown to interfere with bone remodeling by inhibiting bone resorption and stimulating bone formation. IP consistently increased the amount of Ca incorporated into the cell layer by mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). In this study, we developed the novel IP loaded poly(L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) scaffolds for the possibility of the application of the tissue engineered bone. IP/PLGA scaffo1ds were prepared by solvent casting/salt leaching method and were characterized by porosimeter, scanning electron microscopy, determination of residual salt amount, differential scanning calorimetry, and X-ray diffractometer, respectively. IP/PLGA scaffolds were implanted into the back of athymic nude mouse to observe the effect of IP on the osteoinduction compared with control PLGA scaffo1ds. Thin sections were cut from paraffin embedded tissues and histological sections were stained H&E, von Kossa, and immunohistochemical staining for Type I collagen and osteocalcin. It can be observed that the porosity was above 91.7% and the pore size was above 101 $\mu\textrm{m}$. Control scaffo1d and IP/PLGA scaffo1ds of 50% IP were implanted on the back of athymic nude mouse to observe the effect of IP on the induction of cells proliferation for 9 weeks. The evidence of calcification, osteoblast, and osteoid from the undifferentiated stem cells in the subcutaneous sites and other soft connective tissue sites having a preponderance of stem cells has been observed. From these results, it seems that IP plays an important role for bone induction in IP/PLCA scaffolds.

이프리플라본은 이소플라본의 파생물로서 골의 재흡수를 방지하여 골의 재형성을 방해함으로써 골 형성에 도움을 준다. 이프리플라본은 칼슘의 양을 안정적으로 증가시킴과 함께 골수 줄기 세포의 작용으로 세포층에 칼슘을 침착시킨다. 조직공학적 골을 형성시키기 위해 락타이드-글리를라이드 공중합체 (PLGA)에 이프리플라본을 함유시킨 지치체를 용매 캐스팅/염 추출법으로 제조하였다. 수은 다공도계, 주사 전자 현미경, 시차 주사 열량계, X선 회절기를 이용하여 특성결정을 수행하였고, 이프리플라본이 함유된 지지체와 이프리플라본이 함유되지 않은 지지체를 면역이 결핍된 쥐의 피하에 삽입하여 이들의 골 형성을 비교하였다. 조직을 hematoxylin & eosin, 본쿠사 염색과 면역화학적 염색법인 콜라겐 I 형과 오스테오칼신 염색을 하였다. 이프리플라본이 함유된 담체의 다공도는 91.7% 이상이었고, 평균 다공 크기도 101 $\mu\textrm{m}$였다. PLGA로만 제조된 지지체와 이프리플라본을 50% 함유시킨 지지체를 동물 실험을 수행한 결과 이프리플라본은 피하 층과 다른 연조직에서 미분화 줄기 세포가 칼슘 침착, 골아 세포, 골상으로의 유도에 더 많은 영향을 주는 것을 관찰하였다. 결론적으로 이프리플라본을 함유한 지지체에서 이프리플라본이 골형성에 중요한 요인으로 작용한다고 사료된다.
