Eletrospun rnanofbrous products were eported to possess a high surface area and porosity. In this study, we developed chitosan nanofibers and examined the effects of nanofibeous scaffolds on osteo: ‘last maturation and the possible mechanisms. Macro- and miero observations of the chitosan nanofibers revealed tht these nanoproducts had a at surface and well-distibuted fibers with nanoscale diameters. Moute osteoblasts were able to alach onto the chitosan nanoSiber sca folds, andthe scaffolde degraded ina time-dependent manner. Analysis by scanning electron ictoscopy further showed mouse osteoblasts adhered onto the seaffolds along the nanofibers, annd cell-cell communication was also detected, Mouse osteoblasts grew much bette on chitosan nanofiber seaffolds than on chitosan films, In addition, human ostecblasts were able to adhere and grow on the chitosan nanofiber scaffolds, Interestingly, culturing buman osteoblasts on. chitosan nanofiber scaffolds ime-dependently increased DNA replication and cell proliferation {In parallel, administration of human esteoblasts onto chitosan nanofibers significantly induced costeapontin, esteocalein, and alkaline phosphatate (ALP) messenger (mRNA expression. AS to the mechanism, chitosan sanosibers triggered runt-rclated tanscrption factor 2 mRNA and protein syntheses. Consequently, results of ALP-,alzarn ed and von Kossa-taining analyses showed that chitosan nanofibers improved ostecblast mineralization. Taken together, results of this study demonstrate that chitosan nanofibers can stimulate osteoblast proliferation and maturation via runt-telated transcription factor 2-mediated regulation of osteoblast associated costeopontn, osteocalcin, and ALP gene expression, Keywords: chitosan nanofibers otecblast-associated gene expression, osteoblast maturation, Rum Introduction Bone contributes to tissue protection, physical movement, and skeletal support. In the clini, hone diseases suchas bone defects and fractures in patients may lea to disability or even death. Anatomically, the bone structure is maintained by bone remodeling, Which is a balanced and dynamic process of bone formation and resorption! Osteo- blasts, which differentiate from stromal stem cells, were reported to play a central role in mediating bone formation » Osteogenesis is the process of bone formation and consists of various consecutive stages, including osteoprogenitor proliferation, matrix maturation, and osteoblast mineralization Inthe beginning of bone turnover or frac- ture healing, stem cells and primitive osteoprogenitors proliferate and subsequently replace old and damaged osteoblasts. These precursor cells successively undergo sequential differentiation and finally achieve osteablast maturation and bone nodule formation. However, multiple factors participate in controling osteoblast maturation. Thus, to develop innovative biomaterials for therapy of hone diseases, itis important IngeratiorlJooral of Nanomedicine 10149 43-0004 4293 RS feist ra inte hin Sin act eect Saeco ls fran eter npr a eee dasa yl an Cio npe one onset ignoring Speco Ho cea Dovey to evalvate the mechanisms of how biomaterials regulate ‘osteoblast development ‘A complicated network of molecular events is involved in regulating bone development."
