摘要
Large-scale expansion of the osteoblasts of a Sprague-Dawley(SD)rat was studied in a rotating wall hollow-fiber membrane bioreactor(RWHMB)by using hollow-fiber membrane as the carrier.For the sake of contrast,cells were also expanded in a T-flask using a hollow-fiber membrane as carrier and in a rotating wall vessel bioreactor(RWVB)using a microcarrier.During the culture period,the cells were sampled every 12 h,and after 5 days,the cells were harvested and evaluated with scanning electron microscopy(SEM),hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining and alkaline phosphatase(ALP)staining.Moreover,von-Kossa staining and Alizarin Red S stain-ing were carried out for mineralized nodules formation.The results show that in RWHMB,the cells present better morphology and vitality and secrete much more extracel-lular matrix.It is concluded that the RWHMB combines the advantages of the rotating wall vessel and hollow-fiber membrane bioreactors.The hydrodynamic stimulation within it accelerates the metabolism of the osteoblast and mass transfer,which is propitious to cell differenti-ation and proliferation.
