Zusammenfassung:Collagen and chitosan are two different kinds of natural biodegradable polymers commonly used in the regeneration of bone defects. Mesoporous bioactive glass (MBG) is a type of favorable bone filler which can effectively constitute an enlarged microenvironment to facilitate an exchange of important factors between the cells and scaffolds. Here we prepared a collagen-chitosan-MBG (C-C-MBG) scaffold which displayed significantly increased proliferation, differentiation and mineralization in bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). Additionally, we found that the scaffold can stimulate extra-cellular signal regulated kinase 1/2 (Erk1/2) activated Runx2 pathway, which is the predominant signaling pathway involved in osteoblast differentiation. Consistently, we observed that the scaffold can markedly enhance the expression of ( ), and , which are important osteoblastic marker genes implicated in the process of osteoblast differentiation. Therefore, we conclude that the composite scaffold can significantly promote the differentiation of BMSCs into osteoblasts by activating Erk1/2-Runx2 pathway. Our finding thereby implies that the C-C-MBG scaffold can possibly act as a potential biomaterial in the bone regeneration.
