Abstract Molybdenum disulphide ­(MoS2) exhibits unique properties that are useful for various biomedical applications. Owing to its distinct characteristics and osteogenic differentiation promotion effect, this material has been studied extensively. However, the effect of cell density on osteogenic differentiation between M ­ oS2-based biomaterials and cells is still unknown. In this study, we used ­MoS2/polyacrylonitrile (PAN) composite nanofibres as substrates to evaluate the effect of cellular density on the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). We created different experimental groups with increasing cell seeding densities and investigated cellular behaviours, biocompatibility, proliferation and osteogenic properties. The results show that ­MoS2/PAN composite nanofibres can positively regulate osteogenic differentiation. More importantly, in the presence of standard culture conditions, 1.0 × 104 cells/cm2 is the most efficient and suitable cell seeding density for BMSCs osteogenic differentiation. Our findings suggest that the optimal cell density for osteogenesis is vital for the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs when these cells are cultured onto ­MoS2-based biomaterials.

Introduction Molybdenum disulphide (­ MoS2) is a two-dimensional (2D) material and a typical component of the layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) (Wang et al. 2018). This graphene-like structured compound exhibits unique physical, chemical, electronic, and mechanical properties that are Shulu Luo and Shuyi Wu contributed equally. * Lin Jin [email protected] * Yan Li [email protected] 1

useful in various fields, ranging from electronics to biomedicine, such as bioelectronics, cancer therapy, antibacterial effects, and stem cell differentiation (Choi et al. 2017; Luo et al. 2018; Suhito et al. 2017; Wang et al. 2015; Yuan et al. 2019). ­MoS2 has already been explored extensively in the field of chemical catalysis and sensors. However, its applications in the biomedical field have been limited (Wang et al. 2015). Recently, ­MoS2 has been garnering increasing atte
