The fibrocartilaginous enthesis displays a complex interface between two mechanically dissimilar tissues, namely tendon and bone. This graded transition zone consists of parallel collagen type I fibres arising from the tendon and inserting into bone across zones of fibrocartilage with aligned collagen type I and collagen type II fibres and mineralised fibrocartilage. Due the high stress concentrations arising at the interface, entheses are prone to traumatic and chronic overuse injuries such as rotator cuff and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears. Treatment strategies range from surgical reattachment for complete tears and conservative treatments (physiotherapy, anti-inflammatory drugs) in chronic inflammatory conditions. Generally, the native tissue architecture is not re-established and mechanically inferior scar tissue is formed. Current interfacial tissue engineering approaches pose scaffold-associated drawbacks and limitations, such as foreign body response. Using a thermo-responsive electrospun scaffold that provides architectural signals similar to native tissues and can be removed prior to implantation, we aim to develop an ECM-rich, cell-based implant for tendon-enthesis regeneration. Alcian blue staining revealed highest sGAG deposition in cell (human adipose derived stem cells) sheets grown on random electrospun fibres and lowest sGAG deposition in collagen type I sponges. Cells did not show an equal distribution throughout the collagen type II scaffolds but tended to form localised aggregates. Thermo-responsive electrospun fibres with random and aligned fibre orientation provided an adequate three-dimensional environment for chondrogenic differentiation of multilayer hADSC-sheets shown by high ECM-production, especially high sGAG deposition. Chondrogenic cell sheets showed increased expression of SOX9, COL2A1, COL1A1, COMP and ACAN after 7 days of chondrogenic induction when compared to pellet culture. Anisotropic fibres enabled the generation of aligned chondrogenic cell sheets, shown by cell and collagen fibre alignment. Thermoresponsive electrospun fibres showed high chondro-inductivity due to their three-dimensionality and therefore pose a promising tool for the generation of scaffold-free multilayer constructs for tendon-enthesis repair within short culture periods. Aligned chondrogenic cell sheets mimic the zonal orientation of the native enthesis as the fibrocartilaginous zone exhibits high collagen alignment
