Bioactive mesoporous binary metal oxide nanoparticles allied with polymeric scaffolds can mimic natural extracellular matrix because of their self-mineralized functional matrix. Herein, we developed fibrous scaffolds of polycaprolactone (PCL) integrating well-dispersed TiO2@ZrO2 nanoparticles (NPs) via electrospinning for a tissue engineering approach. The scaffold with 0.1 wt% of bioceramic (TiO2@ZrO2) shows synergistic effects on physicochemical and bioactivity suited to stem cell attachment/proliferation. The bioceramics-based scaffold shows excellent antibacterial activity that can prevent implant-associated infections. In addition, the TiO2@ZrO2 in scaffold serves as a stem cell microenvironment to accelerate cell-to-cell interactions, including cell growth, morphology/orientation, differentiation, and regeneration. The NPs in PCL exert superior biocompatibility on MC3T3-E1 cells inducing osteogenic differentiation. The ALP activity and ARS staining confirm the upregulation of bone-related proteins and minerals suggesting the scaffolds exhibit osteoinductive abilities and contribute to bone cell regeneration. Based on this result, the bimetallic oxide could become a novel bone ceramic tailor TiO2@ZrO2 composite tissue-construct and keep potential nanomaterials-based scaffold for bone tissue engineering strategy.
