Anisotropic topographies and biological cues can simulate the regenerative microenvironment of nerve from physical and biological aspects, which show promising application in nerve regeneration. However, their synergetic influence on injured peripheral nerve is rarely reported. In the present study, we constructed a bionic microenvironment-inspired scaffold integrated with both anisotropic micro-nanocomposite topographies and IKVAV peptide. The results showed that both the topographies and peptide displayed good stability. The scaffolds could effectively induce the orientation growth of Schwann cells and up-regulate the genes and proteins relevant to myelination. Last, three signal pathways including the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, the extracellular signal–regulated kinase/mitogen-activated protein pathway, and the transforming growth factor–β pathway were put forward, revealing the main path of synergistic effects of anisotropic micro-nanocomposite topographies and biological cues on neuroregeneration. The present study may supply an important strategy for developing functional of artificial nerve implants.
