It is highly desirable for bone tissue engineering scaffolds to have significant osteogenic properties and capability to improve cell growth and thus enhance bone regeneration. In this study, a poly(l-lactic acid) (PLLA) nanofiber scaffold-immobilized osteogenic growth peptide (OGP) was prepared via polydopamine (PDA) coating. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), contact angle measurement, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to determine the OGP immobilization, hydrophilicity and surface roughness of the samples. The SEM and fluorescence images demonstrate that the PLLA nanofiber scaffolds immobilized with the OGP have excellent cytocompatibility in terms of cell adhesion and proliferation. The ALP activity and the Runx2 and OPN expression results indicated that the PLLA nanofiber scaffolds immobilized with OGP significantly enhanced the osteogenic differentiation and calcium mineralization of hMSCs in vitro. A rat model of critical skull bone defect was selected to evaluate the bone formation capacity of the scaffolds. Micro CT analysis and histological results demonstrated that the PLLA scaffolds immobilized with OGP significantly promoted bone regeneration in critical-sized bone defects. This study verifies that the PLLA scaffold-immobilized OGP has significant potential in bone tissue engineering.
