Silk fiber (SF), a kind of bio-fiber from biomass protein fibers with biocompatibility and mechanical properties, has been widely utilized in biomedical engineering. However, SF-based bio-scaffolds often encounter challenges in promoting osteogenesis within bone tissue engineering (BTE) applications. In this study, SF-based composites were constructed via the solution casting method in the presence of IONPs (SFF-IONPs), followed by annealing-induced self-assembly to form magnetic SF annealing films (SFF-IONPs). Three types of IONPs loaded SF films (SFF-50, SFF-100, and SFF-200) were prepared by altering the feeding IONPs (50 μg/mL, 100 μg/mL, and 200 μg/mL). Results demonstrated that SFF films primarily exhibited random coil structures and were water-soluble, while SFF films demonstrated the formation of silk II structures and became water-insoluble. The incorporation of IONPs significantly enhanced the porosity, mechanical strength, and thermal stability of the SFF films. Furthermore, the SFF-IONPs films not only exhibited excellent biocompatibility but also demonstrated enhanced osteo-inductive properties, as evidenced by increased alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, enhanced mineralized nodule formation, and upregulation of osteogenic gene expression. This study presents a promising bio-based material with significant potential for use as a scaffold in BTE applications.
丝纤维(SF)是一种具有生物相容性和机械性能的生物质蛋白纤维中的生物纤维,已在生物医学工程中得到广泛应用。然而,基于SF的生物支架在骨组织工程(BTE)应用中促进骨生成方面常常面临挑战。在本研究中,通过溶液浇铸法在离子纳米颗粒(IONPs)存在的情况下构建基于SF的复合材料(SFF-IONPs),随后通过退火诱导自组装形成磁性SF退火膜(SFF-IONPs)。通过改变添加的IONPs(50μg/mL、100μg/mL和200μg/mL)制备了三种负载IONPs的SF膜(SFF-50、SFF-100和SFF-200)。结果表明,SFF膜主要呈现无规卷曲结构且可溶于水,而SFF膜显示出丝II结构的形成且变得不溶于水。IONPs的掺入显著提高了SFF膜的孔隙率、机械强度和热稳定性。此外,SFF-IONPs膜不仅表现出优异的生物相容性,还显示出增强的骨诱导性能,碱性磷酸酶(ALP)活性增加、矿化结节形成增强和成骨基因表达上调证明了这一点。本研究提出了一种有前景的生物基材料,在BTE应用中作为支架具有巨大潜力。
