Abstract A novel tissue-specific functional tissue engineering scaffold for cartilage repair should have a three-dimensional structure, good biosafety and biological activity, and should be able to promote cartilage tissue regeneration. This study aimed to determine the effect of ultrasound-treated collagen/silk fibroin (Col/SF) composite scaffolds with good mechanical properties and high biological activity on cartilage repair. The characteristics of the scaffolds with different Col/SF ratios (7:3, 8:2, and 9:1) were determined by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and porosity, water absorption, and compression tests. In vitro evaluations revealed the biocompatibility of the Col/SF scaffolds. Results suggested that the optimal ratio of Col/SF composite scaffolds was 7:3. The Col/SF scaffolds induced adipose-derived stem cells to undergo chondrogenic differentiation under chondrogenic culture conditions. The efficiency of Col/SF scaffolds for cartilage regeneration applications was further evaluated using an in vivo model of full-thickness articular cartilage defects in New Zealand rabbits. The Col/SF scaffolds effectively promoted osteochondral regeneration as evidenced by macroscopic, histological, and immunohistochemical evaluation. The study demonstrates that ultrasound-treated Col/SF scaffolds show great potential for repairing cartilage defects. |
