To exploit the therapeutic potential of growth factors in tissue regeneration,it is necessary to design a porous scaffold in order to concurrently accommodate cells and release angiogenic factors in a controlled manner.In an attempt to address these issues,we developed a nanocomposite scaffold based on silk/calcium phosphate/PLGA by freeze-drying and electrospinning methods in order to control the release of platelet-derived growth factor(PDGF)and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF).The highly porous scaffold possessed appropriate chemical and physical structure as confirmed by FTIR,XRD,SEM,and dynamic light scattering(DLS).Furthermore,the incorporation of PDGF and VEGF in the scaffold was confirmed using Raman spectroscopy while their bioactivity was maintained by 82%and 89%for up to 28 days,respectively.The release of PDGF was slower than VEGF as respected.Additionally,the scaffold could promote proliferation,alkaline phosphatase production and attachment of human osteoblast cells.Histological examination established new bone matrix formation with neovascularization in the angiogenic factors loaded scaffold after 10 weeks of implantation in rabbit model.Finally,it was considered that the fabricated nanocomposite could be useful for bone tissue engineering applications.
