Emerging studies have showed that silk fibroin might be as a naturally occurring degradable biomaterial for tissue engineering with unique mechanical properties, biocompatib ility and processability. To optimize the formation of the regenerated silk fibroin film, in thi s study, we examined the genotoxic potential of the regenerated silk fibroin films by differe nt cross-linking mode with micronucleus and the single cell gel electrophoresis (comet) assa y. The data showed that MNF in group PC and group SD showed significantly no differenc e with blank group (P>0.05), and no evident comet tails were observed. However, the resul t of EC group was significantly different from the control group(P<0.01). Taken together, R SFFs in group PC and group SD have no evident genotoxicity, which is better than group EC.

Objective: To characterize the morphology of chondrocytes and the expression and secretion of active collagen II by these cells cultured within a regenerated silk fibroin film. Silk fibroin film cytocompatibility and the effect of silk fibroin on chondrocytes in vitro were also evaluated. Methods: Chondrocytes were transfected with a lentivirus containing a green fluorescent protein marker and cultured within a regenerated silk fibroin film. Effects on chondrocyte adhesion, growth, and expression of functional collagen II were assessed in vitro by analysis with immunofluorescent histochemistry and laser scanning confocal microscopy. Results: The results of this study showed that the regenerated silk fibroin film had no cytotoxic effect on chondrocytes. The regenerated silk fibroin film facilitated the adhesion of chondrocytes with typical morphology. Chondrocytes cultured within silk fibroin films exhibited the expression of collagen II in vitro. Conclusion: Regenerated silk fibroin film was found to be an excellent biomaterial with good cytocompatibility for chondrocytes, because these cells remained functional and maintained normal cell morphology when cultured in silk-based biomaterials. These results suggest that silk-based chondrocyte biomaterial complexes may provide a feasible and functional biomaterial for repairing clinical cartilage defects.

LAPONITE® (LAP) nanoplatelets were incorporated within a regenerated silk fibroin (RSF) microfibrous mat via electrospinning, which exhibited better cell adhesion and proliferation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) than the pristine RSF ones.
