Tissue engineering offers a promising approach to repair bone defects, of which a scaffold is an indispensable component. An ideal scaffold should mimic the organic and inorganic compositions of bone. Here, CaCO3/casein microspheres were encapsulated in PCL composite membranes using cosolvent electrospinning to mimic the hierarchical structure and composition of bone ECM. As PCL lacks functional groups to support cell adhesion, gelatin was grafted onto membranes. To find the optimum composition, CaCO3/casein microspheres were entrapped at five different concentrations. Various analytical techniques, including FTIR, XRD, SEM and EDS, were applied to characterize the particles and membranes. The CaCO3/casein microparticles were spheres of similar to 1 mm, mainly in vaterite form. The amount of casein was 23.9 +/- 1% determined by BCA assay and its presence stabilized CaCO3 in vaterite. After surface modification, the hydrophilicity of membranes was improved while the membrane morphology was not significantly changed; on the membranes, both gelatin and CaCO3/casein microspheres were evenly distributed. Due to the presence of vaterite, the biomineralization property of a composite membrane was significantly enhanced. Furthermore, we compared HMSC proliferation on composite membranes with FDA staining and MTT assay. After cells were cultured in osteogenic medium, differentiation potential was investigated by analyzing gene expressions of RUNX2, COL-I and ALP, and monitoring ALP activity. Presence of CaCO3/casein microspheres enhanced cell proliferation and differentiation, especially sample P-20 which demonstrated better potential to be used in bone tissue engineering than others.
