Gene expression study of human ASC on PLA-1% BG scaffolds. Relative gene expression of Col1, VEGF, BGP, RUNX2, and ALP in human ASC cultured for 35 days on 3D printed 1% BG containing PLA scaffolds normalized to PLA scaffolds in (A) nonosteogenic and (B) osteogenic differentiation medium. Data is reported as mean ± s.e.m (n = 4). ANOVA with post-hoc Tukey -HSD test; *p ≤ 0.05. (C) Light microscopy images of ASC after 35 days cultured in non-osteogenic (top) and osteogenic (bottom) medium. The white arrow indicates higher cell growth observed inside scaffold pores for ASC cultured in nonosteogenic medium in comparison to +OS scaffolds, indicative for higher proliferation on –OS scaffolds. Scale bars: 200 μm, 100 μm (insert, top right).
