dc.description.abstractA meniscus tear is a common knee injury but its regeneration remains a clinical challenge. Recently, collagen-based scaffolds have been applied in meniscus tissue engineering. Despite its prevalence, application of natural collagen scaffold in clinical setting is limited due to its extremely low stiffness and rapid degradation. The purpose of the present study was to increase the mechanical properties and delay degradation rate of collagen-based scaffold by photo-crosslinking using riboflavin and UV exposure. Riboflavin is a biocompatible vitamin B2 that showed minimal cytotoxicity compared to conventionally utilized photo-initiator. Furthermore, collagen photo-cross-linking with riboflavin improved mechanical properties and delayed enzymatic degradation rate of collagen scaffolds. Furthermore, in order to observe the meniscus tissue engineering, fibrochondrocytes were encapsulated. Photo-crosslinking of collagen resulted in reduced contractility and enhanced gene expression levels for the collagen II and aggrecan. Additionally, for activation of meniscus regeneration, hyaluronic acid (HA) was incorporated with collagen gel and showed increase of meniscus related gene level for the type I collagen, type II collagen, and aggrecan. Based upon these results, we demonstrate that photo-cross-linked collagen HA have potential for utilization in the scaffold-based meniscus tissue engineering.-
