Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) has become one of the most common serious diseases affecting parous women. Weakening of pelvic ligaments plays an essential role in the pathophysiology of POP. Currently, synthetic materials are widely applied for pelvic reconstructive surgery. However, synthetic nondegradable meshes for POP therapy cannot meet the clinical requirements due to its poor biocompatibility. Herein, we fabricated electrospun core-shell nanofibers of poly(l-lactic acid)-hyaluronic acid (PLLA/HA). After that, we combined them with mouse bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (mBMSCs) to assess the cellular response and pelvic ligament tissue engineering in vitro. The cellular responses on the composite nanofibers showed that the core-shell structure nanofibers displayed with excellent biocompatibility and enhanced cellular activity without cytotoxicity. Moreover, compared with PLLA nanofibers seeded with mBMSCs, PLLA/HA nanofibers exhibited more cellular function, as revealed by the quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) for pelvic ligament-related gene markers including Col1a1, Col1a3 and Tnc. These features suggested that this novel core-shell nanofiber is promising in stem cell-based tissue engineering for pelvic reconstruction.
