ObjectiveThe tissue engineered osteochondral integration of multi-layered scaffold was prepared and the related mechanical properties and biological properties were evaluated to provide a new technique and method for the repair and regeneration of osteochondral defect.MethodsAccording to blend of different components and proportion of acellular cartilage extracellular matrix of pig, nano-hydroxyapatite, and alginate, the osteochondral integration of multi-layered scaffold was prepared by using freeze-drying and physical and chemical cross-linking technology. The cartilage layer was consisted of acellular cartilage extracellular matrix; the middle layer was consisted of acellular cartilage extracellular matrix and alginate; and the bone layer was consisted of nano-hydroxyapatite, alginate, and acellular cartilage extracellular matrix. The biological and mechanics characteristic of the osteochondral integration of multi-layered scaffold were evaluated by morphology observation, scanning electron microscope observation, Micro-CT observation, porosity and pore size determination, water absorption capacity determination, mechanical testing (compression modulus and layer adhesive strength), biocompatibility testing [L929 cell proliferation on scaffold assessed by MTT assay, and growth of green fluorescent protein (GFP)-labeled Sprague Dawley rats’ bone marrow mesenchumal stem cells (BMSCs) on scaffolds].ResultsGross observation and Micro-CT observation showed that the scaffolds were closely integrated with each other without obvious discontinuities and separation. Scanning electron microscope showed that the structure of the bone layer was relatively dense, while the structure of the middle layer and the cartilage layer was relatively loose. The pore structures in the layers were connected to each other and all had the multi-dimensional characteristics. The porosity of cartilage layer, middle layer, and bone layer of the scaffolds were 93.55%±2.90%, 93.55%±4.10%, and 50.28%±3.20%, respectively; the porosity of the bone layer was significantly lower than that of cartilage layer and middle layer (P〈0.05), but no significant difference was found between cartilage layer and middle layer (P〉0.05). The pore size of the three layers were (239.66±35.28), (153.24±19.78), and (82.72±16.94) μm, respectively, showing significant differences between layers (P〈0.05). The hydrophilic of the three layers were (15.14±3.15), (13.65±2.98), and (5.32±1.87) mL/g, respectively; the hydrophilic of the bone layer was significantly lower than that of cartilage layer and middle layer (P〈0.05), but no significant difference was found between cartilage layer and middle layer (P〉0.05). The compression modulus of the three layers were (51.36±13.25), (47.93±12.74), and (155.18±19.62) kPa, respectively; and compression modulus of the bone layer was significantly higher than that of cartilage layer and middle layer (P〈0.05), but no significant difference was found between cartilage layer and middle layer (P〉0.05). The osteochondral integration of multi-layered scaffold was tightly bonded with each layer. The layer adhesive strength between the cartilage layer and the middle layer was (18.21±5.16) kPa, and the layer adhesive strength between the middle layer and the bone layer was (16.73±6.38) kPa, showing no significant difference (t=0.637, P=0.537). MTT assay showed that L929 cells grew well on the scaffolds, indicating no scaffold cytotoxicity. GFP-labeled rat BMSCs grew evenly on the scaffolds, indicating scaffold has excellent biocompatibility.ConclusionThe advantages of three layers which have different performance of the tissue engineered osteochondral integration of multi-layered scaffold is achieved double biomimetics of structure and composition, lays a foundation for further research of animal in vivo experiment, meanwhile, as an advanced and potential strategy for osteochondral defect repair.
