Abstract: Objective To prepare the electrospun poly (εcaprolactone)/ typeI collagen/ nanophase hydroxyapatite nanofiber,and to examine its characteristics and biocompatibility.The composite material is expected to be used as the biodegradable membrane for guided tissue regeneration.Methods The PCL/COLⅠ and PCL/COLⅠ/nHAP scaffolds were prepared by electrospinning technique and observed by scanning electronic microscope.The morphology,proliferation and differentiation of periodontal ligament cells seeded on the scaffolds were evaluated by scanning electronic microscope,CCK8 assay and realtime quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis.Results The PCL/COLⅠ and PCL/COLⅠ/nHAP scaffolds had a porous and interwoven structure,while only the PCL/COLⅠ/nHAP showed a rough surface because of the nHAP particles packaged inside the fibers.The results of the scanning electronic microscope and CCK8 assay showed that periodontal ligament cells adhering to the scaffolds extended adequately and proliferated stably.Additionally,the realtime quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis revealed that runtrelated transcription factor 2 and osteocalcin of the cells cultured on the PCL/COLⅠ/nHAP expressed higher than that of the control group,which suggested that the PCL/COLⅠ/nHAP scaffold had the ability to induce osteogenic differentiation of periodontal ligament cells.Conclusions The PCL/COLⅠ/nHAP scaffold which has good biocompatibility and osteoinductive ability may serve as a novel biodegradable membrane for guided tissue regeneration.
