Temperature-responsive hydrogel culture system is considered as an ideal platform for cell sheet harvest, but its complex preparation methods and harsh reaction conditions limit its application. Inspired by the marine mussels, a biomimetic method presented here is to construct a novel temperature-responsive hydrogel culture system for stem cell sheet harvest. The tissue culture polystyrene is first modified with polydopamine coating, and then amine-terminated poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) is grafted onto the coating via the Schiff base or Michael addition reaction to construct the temperature-sensitive hydrogel culture system. Then, bone marrow stromal cells are cultured on the culture system to construct cell sheets. The prepared culture system shows significant temperature-sensitive property with the grafted concentrations of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) ranging from 0.5 to 1g/L. Meanwhile, the constructed culture system has low cytotoxicity and facilitates the stem cell adhesion, proliferation, and cell sheet formation at 37 degrees C. When the culture system is placed in a 20 degrees C environment, the cell sheet can be completely detached from the surface of tissue culture polystyrene without being treated with any enzymes. More importantly, the cell morphology, cell sheet thickness, and the fibril structure of the associated proteins are similar to the cells cultured on the tissue culture polystyrene without modification. The biomimetic, simple, inexpensive, and environmentally friendly preparation of the culture system enables it to be used for the harvest of cell sheet and even applied to tissue engineering for tissue regeneration.
