    Abstract:
    Since inflammatory cytokines cause stress to chondrocytes and the failure of cartilage defects repair with cartilage tissue engineering, it is necessary to develop a scaffold to maintain cartilage regeneration under inflammatory factors caused stress. Following a berberine-oleanolic acid (OA) complex salt (BOA) was grafted to hyaluronic acid (HA) to obtain water soluble BOA-g-HA, it mixed with silk fibroin (SF) to prepared 4 solutions, which contained 30 mg/mL SF and 0.75, 1.5, 2.25, and 3.0 mg/mL BOA-g-HA respectively. They were lyophilized to fabricate BOA-g-HA/SF-1, BOA-g-HA/SF-2, BOA-g-HA/SF-3, and BOA-g-HA/SF-4 composite scaffolds respectively. All prepared scaffolds displayed porous network structure and exhibited promising mechanical properties for tissue engineering applications. Among them, the BOA-g-HA/SF-3 composite scaffold showed the highest influence on maintaining chondrocytic phenotype of chondrocytes under IL-1β induced stress. Following SF, HA/SF, and BOA-g-HA/SF-3 composite scaffolds with seeded chondrocytes were treated with IL-1β induction for 1 week, specimens were incubated with cell culture medium for 3 week or were subcutaneously implanted into nude mice for 4 weeks. The results demonstrated that the BOA-g-HA/SF-3 composite scaffold promotes cartilage tissue regeneration in vitro and in vivo under IL-1β caused stress, suggesting that it can be potential applied for repairing cartilage defects in osteoarthritis patients.
