Polymeric hydrogel-based 3D scaffolds are well-known structures, being used for cultivation and differentiation of stem cells. However, scalable systems that provide a native-like microenvironment with suitable biological and physical properties are still needed. Incorporation of nanomaterials into the polymeric systems is expected to influence the physical properties of the structure but also the stem cells fate. Here, alginate/gelatin hydrogel beads incorporated with mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) (average diameter 80.9+/-10nm) and various surface chemistries were prepared. Human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hASCs) were subsequently encapsulated into the alginate/gelatin/silica hydrogels. Incorporation of amine- and carboxyl-functionalized MSNs (A-MSNs and C-MSNs) significantly enhances the stability of the hydrogel beads. In addition, the expression levels of Nanog and OCT4 imply that the incorporation of A-MSNs into the alginate/gelatin beads significantly improves the proliferation and the stemness of encapsulated hASCs. Importantly, our findings show that the presence of A-MSNs slightly suppresses in vivo inflammation. In contrast, the results of marker gene expression analyses indicate that cultivation of hASCs in alginate beads incorporated with C-MSNs (10% w/w) leads to a heterogeneously differentiated population of the cells, i.e., osteocytes, chondrocytes, and adipocytes, which is not appropriate for both cell culture and differentiation applications.
