Teriparatide (TPTD) plays a significant role in bone defect repair, although achieving controlled release of TPTD within a bone tissue engineering scaffold remains challenging. This work reports a new approach for treatment of teriparatide using a water-in-oil-in-water (w/o/w) microspheres be equipped on gelatin (GEL)/Poly lactic-glycolic acid (PLGA)/attapulgite (ATP) scaffold.Methods: In this study, TPTD microspheres were prepared by the water-in-oil-in-water (w/o/w) double emulsion technique and GEL/PLGA/ATP composite scaffolds with different setups were prepared by salt leaching method. Both microspheres and scaffolds underwent physicochemical characterization. Mouse bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) were co-cultured with extracts from the microspheres and scaffolds to evaluate cell proliferation and osteogenesis. Four weeks post-implantation, the effectiveness of the scaffolds containing microspheres for repairing skull defects in mice was assessed.Results: Both TPTD microspheres and the GEL/PLGA/ATP scaffold significantly enhanced the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. Markers of osteoblast activity, including COL1, RUNX2, OCN, and OPN, were markedly up-regulated. Further, micro-CT, histological, and immunohistochemical analyses revealed extensive new bone formation on the scaffold.Conclusion: The GEL/PLGA/ATP composite scaffold, equipped with TPTD microspheres, demonstrates significant potential for use in bone tissue engineering, providing an effective option for bone regeneration and repair in clinical applications.
