The Mechanosensing and Global DNA Methylation of Human Osteoblasts on MEW Fibers
Cells interact with 3D fibrous platform topography via a nano-scaled focal adhesion complex, and more research is required on how osteoblasts sense and respond to random and aligned fibers through nano-sized focal adhesions and their downstream events. The present study assessed human primary osteob...

Cells interact with 3D fibrous platform topography via a nano-scaled focal adhesion complex, and more research is required on how osteoblasts sense and respond to random and aligned fibers through nano-sized focal adhesions and their downstream events. The present study assessed human primary osteoblast cells’ sensing and response to random and aligned medical-grade polycaprolactone (PCL) fibrous 3D scaffolds fabricated via the melt electrowriting (MEW) technique. Cells cultured on a tissue culture plate (TCP) were used as 2D controls. Compared to 2D TCP, 3D MEW fibrous substrates led to immature vinculin focal adhesion formation and significantly reduced nuclear localization of the mechanosensor-yes-associated protein (YAP). Notably, aligned MEW fibers induced elongated cell and nucleus shape and highly activated global DNA methylation of 5-methylcytosine, 5-hydroxymethylcytosine, and N-6 methylated deoxyadenosine compared to the random fibers. Furthermore, although osteogenic markers (<i>osterix-OSX</i> and <i>bone sialoprotein-BSP</i>) were significantly enhanced in PCL-R and PCL-A groups at seven days post-osteogenic differentiation, calcium deposits on all seeded samples did not show a difference after normalizing for DNA content after three weeks of osteogenic induction.
