Bone tissue engineering (BTE) relies on biocomposite scaffolds and bioactive molecules for bone regeneration. The present study was aimed to synthesize and characterize biocomposite scaffolds containing chitosan (CS), nano-hydroxyapatite (nHAp) and nano zirconium dioxide (nZrO(2)) along with microRNA (miRNA) for BTE applications. miRNAs act as post-transcriptional regulator of gene expression. The fabricated biocomposite scaffolds were characterized using SEM, FT-IR and XRD analyses. The effect of a bioactive molecule (miR-590-5p) with scaffolds was tested for osteoblast differentiation at the cellular and molecular levels using mouse mesenchymal stem cells (C3H10T1/2). The results showed that CS/nHAp/nZrO(2) scaffolds promoted osteoblast differentiation, and this effect was further increased in the presence of miR-590-5p in C3H10T1/2 cells. Thus, we suggested that CS/nHAp/nZrO(2) scaffolds with miR-590-5p would have potential towards the treatment of bone defects. (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
