Abstract
Rotator cuff tear repair poses significant challenges due to the complex gradient interface structure. In the face of disease-related disruptions in the tendon-bone interface (TBI), the strategy of constructing a biomimetic scaffold is a promising avenue. A novel 3D-printed rotator cuff scaffold loaded adipose stem cells (ADSCs), bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2), and collagen type I (COL I). The efficiency of the slow-release BMP-2 design depended on the dopamine-hyaluronic acid (HAD) and BMP-2 reaction. The cumulative release of BMP-2 was 44.97 ± 5.45% at 4 weeks. The 3D-printed bilayer scaffold, incorporating COL I and BMP-2, effectively promoted the differentiation of ADSCs into osteogenic, tenogenic, and chondrogenic lineages in vitro. The combination of 3D-printed bioactive scaffolds and ADSCs demonstrated a superior repair effect on rotator cuff injuries in vivo. Therefore, these findings indicates that the 3D-printed biomimetic scaffold loaded with ADSCs and BMP-2 holds potential as a promising graft for TBI healing.
