Abstract (original English)

The coupled process of osteogenesis-angiogenesis plays a crucial role in periodontal tissue regeneration. Although various cytokines or chemokines have been widely applied in periodontal in situ tissue engineering, most of them are macromolecular proteins with the drawbacks of short effective half-life, poor stability and high cost, which constrain their clinical translation. Our study aimed to develop a difunctional structure for periodontal tissue regeneration by incorporating an angiogenic small molecule, dimethyloxalylglycine (DMOG), and an osteoinductive inorganic nanomaterial, nanosilicate (nSi) into poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) fibers by electrospinning. The physiochemical properties of DMOG/nSi-PLGA fibrous membranes were characterized. Thereafter, the effect of DMOG/nSi-PLGA membranes on periodontal tissue regeneration was evaluated by detecting osteogenic and angiogenic differentiation potential of periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) in vitro . Additionally, the fibrous membranes were transplanted into rat periodontal defects, and tissue regeneration was assessed with histological evaluation, micro-computed tomography (micro-CT), and immunohistochemical analysis. DMOG/nSi-PLGA membranes possessed preferable mechanical property and biocompatibility. PDLSCs seeded on the DMOG/nSi-PLGA membranes showed up-regulated expression of osteogenic and angiogenic ma
