Suitable scaffolds with appropriate mechanical and biological properties can improve mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) therapy. Because silk fibroins (SFs) are biocompatible materials, they were electrospun and applied as scaffolds for MSC therapy. Consequently, interferon (IFN)-primed human bone marrow MSCs on SF nanofibers were administered into a polymicrobial sepsis murine model. The IL-6 level gradually decreased from 40 ng/mL at 6 h after sepsis to 35 ng/mL at 24 h after sepsis. The IL-6 level was significantly low as 5 ng/mL in primed MSCs on SF nanofibers, and 15 ng/mL in primed MSCs on the control surface. In contrast to the acute response, inflammation-related factors, including HO-1 and COX-2 in chronic liver tissue, were effectively inhibited by MSCs on both SF nanofibers and the control surface at the 5-day mark after sepsis. An in vitro study indicated that the anti-inflammatory function of MSCs on SF nanofibers was mediated through enhanced COX-2-PGE 2 production, as indomethacin completely abrogated PGE 2 production and decreased the survival rate of septic mice. Thus, SF nanofiber scaffolds potentiated the anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory functions of MSCs, and were beneficial as a culture platform for the cell therapy of inflammatory disorders.
