The developed TGF-beta 1@CS/BMP-2@SF composite system promoted the chondrogenic ability of BMSCs both in vivo and in vitro by releasing TGF-beta 1 and BMP-2, showing favorable biocompatibility.
Cartilage defects frequently occur around the knee joint yet cartilage has limited self-repair abilities. Hydrogel scaffolds have excellent potential for use in tissue engineering. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to assess the ability of silk fibroin (SF) hydrogel scaffolds incorporated with chitosan (CS) nanoparticles (NPs) to repair knee joint cartilage defects. In the present study, composite systems of CS NPs incorporated with transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1; TGF-beta 1@CS) and SF incorporated with bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2; TGF-beta 1@CS/BMP-2@SF) were developed and characterized with respect to their size distribution, zeta potential, morphology, and release of TGF-beta 1 and BMP-2. Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) were co-cultured with TGF-beta 1@CS/BMP-2@SF extracts to assess chondrogenesis in vitro using a cell counting kit-8 assay, which was followed by in vivo evaluations in a rabbit model of knee joint cartilage defects. The constructed TGF-beta 1@CS/BMP-2@SF composite system was successfully characterized and showed favorable biocompatibility. In the presence of TGF-beta 1@CS/BMP-2@SF extracts, BMSCs exhibited normal cell morphology and enhanced chondrogenic ability both in vitro and in vivo, as evidenced by the promotion of cell viability and the alleviation of cartilage defects. Thus, the TGF-beta 1@CS/BMP-2@SF hydrogel developed in the present study promoted chondrogenic ability of BMSCs both in vivo and in vitro by releasing TGF-beta 1 and BMP-2, thereby offering a novel therapeutic strategy for repairing articular cartilage defects in knee joints.
