ABSTRACT
Degenerated cartilage tissues remain a burgeoning issue to be tackled, while bioactive engineering products available for optimal cartilage regeneration are scarce. In the present study, two-dimensional (2DS) poly(l-lactide-co-ε-caprolactone)/silk fibroin (PLCL/SF)-based scaffolds were fabricated by conjugate electrospinning method, which were then cross-linked with chondroitin sulfate (CS) to further enhance their mechanical and biological performance. Afterwards, three-dimensional (3D) PLCL/SF scaffolds (3DS) and CS-crosslinked 3D scaffolds (3DCSS) with tailored size were successfully fabricated by an in-situ gas foaming in a confined mold followed by freeze-dried. Gas-foamed scaffolds displayed high porosity, rapid water uptake, and stable mechanical properties. While all of the scaffolds exhibited good cytocompatibility in vitro; 3DCSS showed better cell seeding efficiency and chondro-protective effect compared to other scaffolds. Besides, 3DCSS scaffolds supported the formation of more mature cartilage-like tissues along with the best repair outcome in a rabbit articular cartilage defect model in vivo, as well as less expression level of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-1ß and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α than that of the other groups. Taken together, 3DCSS may provide an alternative therapeutic option for cartilage tissue repair.
