RESUMO
To develop biocomposite materials with the local sustained-release function of biological factors to promote bone defect repair, coaxial electrospinning technology was performed to prepare a coaxial nanofiber scaffold with super-active platelet lysate (sPL), containing gelatin/PCL/PLLA. The nanofibers exhibited a uniform bead-free round morphology, observed by a scanning electron microscope (SEM), and the core/shell structure was confirmed by a transmission electron microscope (TEM). A mixture of polycaprolactone and sPL encapsulated by hydrophilic gelatin and hydrophobic l-polylactic acid can continuously release bioactive factors for up to 40 days. Encapsulation of sPL resulted in enhanced cell adhesion and proliferation, and sPL loading can increase the osteogenesis of osteoblasts. Besides, in vivo studies demonstrated that sPL-loaded biocomposites promoted the repair of skull defects in rats. Therefore, these results indicate that core-shell nanofibers loaded with sPL can add enormous potential to the clinical application of this scaffold in bone tissue engineering.
