The bone-tendon interface (BTI) is a graded structure consisting of bone, mineralized and nonmineralized fibrocartilage, and tendons. Due to the complexity of the BTI structure, BTI healing is particularly challenging. To achieve a better material for BTI healing, polycaprolactone (PCL)/hydroxyapatite (HA)/ZnO films were constructed by the electrospinning method; in addition, the relevant material characteristics were tested. After culturing MC3T-E1 cells, ATDC5 cells, mouse primary fibrochondrocytes, and mouse primary tenocytes on films, PCL-5%HA-1%ZnO films (HA and ZnO weight ratios of 5% and 1%, respectively) displayed superior cell compatibility and cell adhesion. PCL-5%HA-1%ZnO films also promoted osteogenesis, chondrogenesis, fibrocartilage formation, and tendon healing. The antibacterial characteristics of PCL-5%HA-1%ZnO films were also identified in this study. The PCL-5%HA-1%ZnO films have great application potential in the field of BTI repair.
骨-腱界面(BTI)是一种分级结构,由骨、矿化和非矿化纤维软骨以及肌腱组成。由于 BTI 结构的复杂性,BTI 愈合尤其具有挑战性。为了获得更好的 BTI 愈合材料,采用静电纺丝法构建了聚己内酯(PCL)/羟基磷灰石(HA)/氧化锌(ZnO)薄膜,并对相关材料特性进行了测试。将 MC3T-E1 细胞、ATDC5 细胞、小鼠原代纤维软骨细胞和小鼠原代肌腱细胞在薄膜上培养后,PCL-5%HA-1%ZnO 薄膜(HA 和 ZnO 的重量比分别为 5%和 1%)显示出优异的细胞相容性和细胞黏附性。PCL-5%HA-1%ZnO 薄膜还促进了成骨、软骨形成、纤维软骨形成和肌腱愈合。本研究还确定了 PCL-5%HA-1%ZnO 薄膜的抗菌特性。PCL-5%HA-1%ZnO 薄膜在 BTI 修复领域具有巨大的应用潜力。
