ABSTRACT

Nanostructure provides a closer structural support approximation to native bone architecture for cells and further regulates cell's behavior, resulting in the formation of functional tissues. In this work, three engineering collagen templates with oriented fiber architectures were fabricated via electrospinning (Es), plastic compression and tensile (PCT), and dynamic shear stress (SS) methods. Under the observation of POM, SEM, AFM and TEM, the PCT-template and SS-template are packed with well-oriented nanofibers with the native collagen architecture of 67 nm D-periodicity, and the mechanical properties conferred to the templates are better than that of the Es-template. When mentioning the cell's behavior, MC3T3-E1 adhered to grow along the alignment of collagen fiber orientation when cultured on the PCT-template and SS-template. The SS-template with nano- and micro-ordered architecture guided cells to stretch their plasma along with the orientation of collagen fiber, produce more aligned Type I collagen fibers and promote significantly higher osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 than the PCT-template and Es-template. Overall, it is strongly argued the feasibility of hierarchical collagen fiber architectures for bone tissue regeneration.
