Bone regenerative medicine aims at designing biomimetic biomaterials able to guide stem cells fate towards osteoblast lineage and prevent orthopaedic common pathogen adhesion. Owing to bone inorganic/organic composition, we herein report, using a versatile process based on simultaneous spray coating of interacting species, a calcium phosphate (CaP) / chitosan (CHI) / hyaluronic acid (HA) functionalized collagen membrane as a new strategy for bone regenerative medicine. Physicochemical characterizations of CaP-CHI-HA coating were performed by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron and infrared spectroscopies and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, revealing the formation of a thin coating mainly composed of non-stoichiometric crystalline hydroxyapatite dispersed into polymorphic organic film. Biocompatibility of CaP-CHI-HA coated membrane, evaluated after 7 days in contact with human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), showed spread, elongated and aligned cells. Metabolic activity and DNA quantification studies showed an increase in MSCs proliferation on coated membrane compared to uncoated membrane over the study time. Similarly, cytokines (IL-6, IL-8, osteoprotegerin) and growth factors (VEGF, bFGF) release in supernatant, as well as endothelial cells recruitment, were significantly increased in presence of CaP-CHI-HA coated membrane. Thus, CaP-CHI-HA coated membrane provides a suitable environment for MSCs to induce bone healing. Moreover, pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β and TNF-α) secretion by human monocytes was significantly reduced on CaP-CHI-HA coating compared to LPS stimulation. CaP-CHI-HA coating also reduced significantly
