Abstract

Nowadays, the development of drug-loaded electrospun organic-inorganic composite scaffolds for tissue engineering application is an attractive approach. In this study, a composite scaffold of Poly-l-lactic acid (PLLA) incorporated dexamethasone (Dexa) loaded Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles (MSN) coated with Chitosan (CS) were fabricated by electrospinning for bone tissue engineering application. The MSN was prepared by precipitation method. After that, Dexamethasone (Dexa) was loaded into MSNs (MSN-Dexa). In the following, CS was coated over the prepared nanoparticles to form MSN-Dexa@CS and then, were mixed to PLLA solution to form MSN-Dexa@CS/PLLA composite for electrospinning. The surface morphology, hydrophilicity, tensile strength and the bioactivity of the scaffolds were characterized. The osteogenic proliferation and differentiation potential were evaluated by MTT assay and by measuring the basic osteogenic markers: the activity of the enzyme alkaline phosphatase and the level of calcium deposition. The composite scaffolds prepared here have conductive surface property and have a better osteogenic potential than pure PLLA scaffolds. Hence, the controlled release of nanoparticle containing Dexa from composite scaffold supported the osteogenesis and made the composite scaffolds ideal candidates for bone tissue engineering application and pH-sensitive delivery of drugs at the site of implantation in tissue regeneration. © 2019, © 2019 The Author(s).
