Abstract
In this study, we prepared a biomimetic hyaluronic acid oligosaccharides (oHAs)-based composite scaffold to develop a bone tissue-engineered scaffold for stimulating osteogenesis and endothelialization. The functional oHAs products were firstly synthesized, namely collagen/hyaluronic acid oligosaccharides/hydroxyapatite (Col/oHAs/HAP), chitosan/hyaluronic acid oligosaccharides (CTS/oHAs), and then uniformly distributed in poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) solution followed by freeze-drying to obtain three-dimensional interconnected scaffolds as temporary templates for bone regeneration. The morphology, physicochemical properties, compressive strength, and degradation behavior of the fabricated scaffolds, as well as in vitro cell responses seeded on these scaffolds and in vivo biocompatibility, were investigated to evaluate the potential for bone tissue engineering. The results indicated that the oHAs-based scaffolds can promote the attachment of endothelial cells, facilitate the osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 and BMSCs, and have ideal biocompatibility and tissue regenerative capacity, suggesting their potential to serve as alternative candidates for bone tissue engineering applications.
