Abstract
This study investigated the cyto-functional effect of Alginate-Gelatin microspheres on rat cardiomyoblasts after 7 days. Rat cardiomyoblasts were encapsulated inside Alginate-Gelatin microspheres via application of high voltage rate and dropping in a stirring CaCl2 solution. The swelling rate, biodegradation, and mechanical features were measured. Cell viability was assessed using MTT. Cell membrane integrity was monitored via calculation supernatant SCOT, SGPT, CPK, and LDH. We also measured SOD, GPx, and anti-oxidant capacity. Protein levels of Nrl-2 and PCCG-1 alpha were detected via western blotting. The cyto-functional activity of encapsulated cells was monitored using real-time PCR assay targeting the expression of Connexin-43, alpha-actinin, and myosin light chain. Data showed suitable biodegradation and swelling rate in Alginate-gelatin microspheres by time. 7-day incubation of rat cells inside microspheres did not exert cytotoxicity compared to control cells (p> 0.05). The release of SGPT, SGOT, CPK, and LDH in encapsulated cells was significantly decreased compared to the control group (p < 0.05). We also found enhanced anti-oxidant capacity and SOD and GPx activity in cells after being-encapsulated inside Alginate-Gelatin microspheres (p < 0.05) coincided with increased Nrf-2 synthesis (p < 0.05) compared to control cells. The expression of Connexin-43, alpha-actinin, and myosin light chain was significantly up-regulated, showing cyto-functional effect of Alginate-Gelatin microspheres after 7-days
