The use of cell-scaffold constructs is a promising tissue engineering approach to repair cartilage defects and to study cartilaginous tissue formation. In this study, silk fibroin/chitosan blended scaffolds were fabricated and studied for cartilage tissue engineering. Silk fibroin served as a substrate for cell adhesion and proliferation while chitosan has a structure similar to that of glycosaminoglycans, and shows promise for cartilage repair. We compared the formation of cartilaginous tissue in silk fibroin/chitosan blended scaffolds seeded with bovine chondrocytes and cultured in vitro for 2 weeks. The constructs were analyzed for cell viability, histology, extracellular matrix components glycosaminoglycan and collagen types I and II, and biomechanical properties. Silk fibroin/chitosan scaffolds supported cell attachment and growth, and chondrogenic phenotype as indicated by Alcian Blue histochemistry and relative expression of type II versus type I collagen. Glycosaminoglycan and collagen accumulated in all the scaffolds and was highest in the silk fibroin/chitosan (1:1) blended scaffolds. Static and dynamic stiffness at high frequencies was higher in cell-seeded constructs than non-seeded controls. The results suggest that silk/chitosan scaffolds may be a useful alternative to synthetic cell scaffolds for cartilage tissue engineering.
