For the cell adhesion evaluation, the unattached rBMSCs were carefully removed from the bottom of the plate and counted N. The cell adhesion was calculated by the equation:
5 × 105 is the total amount of cells, and N is the number of cells attached to the plate.
The cell-seeded microscaffolds were placed in 96-well plates in advance. The proliferation of rBMSCs was evaluated using MTT assays at 1, 3, and 7 day postculture. The cell viability of rBMSCs seeded in microscaffolds was evaluated by live/dead cell imaging kit staining at 1, 3, and 7 day post culture. In brief, the samples were washed with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and incubated in 2 μM fluorescein diacetate (FDA, Sigma, staining live cells) for 30 min and 4 μM propidium iodide (PI, Sigma, staining dead cells) for 10 min at 37 ℃. The stained samples were finally washed with PBS and observed under a confocal laser microscope (Leica, Germany).
