Efficient delivery of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) with desirable bioactivity is still a great challenge in the field of bone regeneration. In this study, a silk fibroin/chitosan scaffold incorporated with BMP-2-loaded mesoporous hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (mHANPs) was prepared (SCH-L). BMP-2 was preloaded onto mHANPs with a high surface area before mixing with a silk fibroin/chitosan composite. Bare (without BMP-2) silk fibroin/chitosan/mHANP (SCH) scaffolds and SCH scaffolds with directly absorbed BMP-2 (SCH-D) were investigated in parallel for comparison. In vitro release kinetics indicated that BMP-2 released from the SCH-L scaffold showed a significantly lower initial burst release, followed by a more sustained release over time than the SCH-D scaffold. In vitro cell viability, osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), and the in vivo osteogenic effect of scaffolds in a rat calvarial defect were evaluated. The results showed that compared with bare SCH and SCH-D scaffolds, the SCH-L scaffold significantly promoted the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs in vitro and induced more pronounced bone formation in vivo. Further studies demonstrated that the mHANP-mediated satisfactory conformational change and sustained release benefited the protection of the released BMP-2 bioactivity, as confirmed by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and a mineralization deposition assay. More importantly, the interaction of BMP-2/mHANPs enhanced the binding ability of BMP-2 to cellular receptors, thereby maintaining its biological activity in osteogenic differentiation and osteoinductivity well, which contributed to the markedly promoted in vitro and in vivo osteogenic efficacy of the SCH-L scaffold. Taken together, these results provide strong evidence that mHANPs represent an attractive carrier for binding BMP-2 to scaffolds. The SCH-L scaffold shows promising potential for bone tissue regeneration applications. |
