Abstract
Alginate/Silk fibroin/hyaluronic acid (ALG/SF/HA) nanocomposites were synthesised using blending, inter-linking, and lyophilization methods. We investigated the physicochemical properties of the resulting nanocomposites, including their water retention, weight loss, porosity and cytocompatibility. The optimum ratios of the ALG/SF/HA scaffolding were 3:6.5:0.5. Nanocomposites with optimum ratios were then prepared by integrating pilose antler polypeptides (PAPS) to poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) microspheres, and the performance was investigated. PAPS-ALG/SF/HA nanocomposites exhibited desirable adhesions and proliferations. Rabbit cartilage deficiencies was developed by the animal model. The cartilage repair effects deficiencies were detected and analyzed between PAPS-SF/ALG/ALG/SF/HA, and control activity classes. The deficiencies were virtually fully remedied after 13 weeks in the presence of PAPS-ALG/SF/HA class, suggesting that the PAPS-ALG/SF/HA nanocomposites had a positive effects on joint cartilage repair.
