Gelatin (GL) nanofibrous matrices mimicking the complex biological structure of the natural extracellular matrix (ECM) were prepared from aqueous solutions by electrospinning technique. GL nanofibres with a diameter size of around 300nm were obtained optimising the process and solution parameters. To increase the GL stability in aqueous environment γ-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPTMS) was used as GL crosslinker. GPTMS crosslinking did not modify the nanofibrous matrix morphology: fibre diameter and membrane pores size were 327±45 nm and 1.64±0.37 μm, respectively. The produced GPTMS crosslinked GL nanofibres (GL/GPTMS_NF) were found to support the in vitro adhesion, proliferation and survival of neonatal olfactory bulb ensheating cells (NOBECs).
明胶(GL)纳米纤维基质通过静电纺丝技术从水溶液中制备,模仿天然细胞外基质(ECM)的复杂生物结构。通过优化工艺和溶液参数,获得直径约 300nm 的 GL 纳米纤维。为了提高 GL 在水环境中的稳定性,γ-缩水甘油醚氧丙基三甲氧基硅烷(GPTMS)被用作 GL 交联剂。GPTMS 交联并未改变纳米纤维基质的形态:纤维直径和膜孔尺寸分别为 327±45nm 和 1.64±0.37μm。所制备的 GPTMS 交联 GL 纳米纤维(GL/GPTMS_NF)被发现支持体外新生嗅球包被细胞(NOBECs)的黏附、增殖和存活。
