SEM images of rBMSCs on the strut surface of MoS2-modified akermanite (MS-AKT) (a, b) and AKT (c, d) scaffolds after incubation for 3 days. The cell proliferation (e) and osteogenic gene expression (Runx2, OPN and OCN) (f–h) of rBMSCs in the MS-AKT and AKT scaffolds at day 7. (*P<0.05, **P<0.01). Cells spread well and closely attached on both MS-AKT and AKT scaffolds. The proliferation of rabbit bone mesenchymal stem cells (rBMSCs) cultured with MS-AKT and AKT scaffolds had no significant difference at each time point (1, 3 and 7 days), indicating the good cytocompatibility of MS-AKT scaffolds. MS-AKT scaffolds could stimulate bone-related gene expression of rBMSCs, including Runx2 and OPN.
