| Abstract | Substrate stiffness and mechanical stimuli are known to play important roles in regulating differentiation of stem cells. However, most studies on this have adopted only one of those two factors while other factor is kept constant. In this study we have varied those two factors simultaneously to investigate the combinational effects focusing on osteogenic differentiation of menschymal stem cells (MSCs). For this, we developed a novel bioreactor which enables us to engage multi-patterned intermittent hydrostatic pressure (M-IHP). It can engage independent hydrostatic pressure to each of three chambers with different magnitudes and frequencies. To have different stiffness of substrate we fabricated soft (~ 50 kPa) and rigid (~ 6.8 MPa) polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) membranes using different curing agent ratio. The MSCs were seeded on those substrates with osteogenic medium. Twenty-four hours after seeding, three different magnitudes of IHP (5 kPa, 50 kPa, 500 kPa) were engaged independently to each chamber: for 3 days, 4 hours/day. The frequency was set as 2 min and 15 min for pressuring and resting, respectively. To evaluate the effects of substrate stiffness and mechanical stimuli, we conducted various biological assays such as measurements of DNA contents and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activities, von Kossa/ALP staining. As results, we found that the effect of substrate stiffness is more observable than those of IHP magnitude in MSCs proliferation. The same result was found in case of differentiation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
