Abstract: BACKGROUND: Biodegradable polymers used in tissue engineering applications, such as poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL), are hydrophobic leading to a lack of favorable cell signalization and finally to a poor cell adhesion, proliferation and differentiation. To overcome this problem, scaffolds undergo generally a surface modification. OBJECTIVE: Our laboratory has demonstrated that the grafting of poly(sodium styrene sulfonate) (pNaSS) onto titanium or poly(ethylene terephthalate) surfaces, leads to a more specific protein adsorption and a better control of cell proliferation. The objective of this work is to develop, through a straightforward way, bioactive elastomeric PCL scaffolds by grafting pNaSS. METHODS: Porous elastomeric PCL scaffolds were developed using a particulate-leaching process. pNaSS was grafted into the scaffold by a “grafting from” technique. In vitro tests were carried out to assess cell adhesion and protein expression. RESULTS: pNaSS was grafted homogeneously onto PCL scaffolds without degrading the biodegradable polymer or the porous structure. The in vitro studies have shown that pNaSS grafted onto PCL improves the cell response with a better expression of collagen, fibronectin and integrin α1. CONCLUSIONS: The grafting of pNaSS onto biomaterial surfaces is a versatile method that can provide a new generation of biodegradable scaffolds which could be “biointegrable”.
