Silk fibroin (SF) is a natural protein with no physiological activities, which has features such as good biocompatibility and easy processing and causes minimal inflammatory reactions in the body. Scaffolds prepared by electrospinning SF can be used in bone tissue regeneration and repair. Graphene oxide (GO) is rich in functional groups, has good biocompatibility, and promotes osteogenic differentiation of stem cells, while bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) polypeptide has an advantage in promoting osteogenesis induction. In this study, we attempted to graft BMP-2 polypeptide onto GO and then bonded the functionalized GO onto SF electrospun scaffolds through electrostatic interactions. The main purpose of this study was to further improve the biocompatibility of SF electrospun scaffolds, which could promote the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and the repair of bone tissue defects.Materials and methods: The successful synthesis of GO and functionalized GO was confirmed by transmission electron microscope, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. Scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, mechanical test, and degradation experiment confirmed the preparation of SF electrospun scaffolds and the immobilization of GO on the fibers. In vitro experiment was used to verify the biocompatibility of the composite scaffolds, and in vivo experiment was used to prove the repairing ability of the composite scaffolds for bone defects.Results: We successfully fabricated the composite scaffolds, which enhanced biocompatibility, not only promoting cell adhesion and proliferation but also greatly enhancing in vitro osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells using either an osteogenic or non-osteogenic medium. Furthermore, transplantation of the composite scaffolds significantly promoted in vivo bone formation in critical-sized calvarial bone defects.Conclusion: These findings suggested that the incorporation of BMP-2 polypeptide-functionalized GO into chitosan-coated SF electrospun scaffolds was a viable strategy for fabricating excellent scaffolds that enhance the regeneration of bone defects.
