The aim of this study was to develop nanofiber-based sutures capable of inducing endogenous antimicrobial peptide production.
We used co-axial electrospinning deposition and rolling to fabricate sutures containing pam3CSK4 peptide and 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25D).
The diameters and mechanical properties of the sutures were adjustable to meet the criteria of United States Pharmacopeia designation. 25D exhibited a sustained release from nanofiber sutures over 4 weeks. Pam3CSK4 peptide also showed an initial burst followed by a sustained release over 4 weeks. The co-delivery of 25D and pam3CSK4 peptide enhanced cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide production from U937 cells and keratinocytes compared with 25D delivery alone. In addition, the 25D/pam3CSK4 peptide co-loaded nanofiber sutures did not significantly influence proliferation of keratinocytes, fibroblasts, or the monocytic cell lines U937 and HL-60.
The use of 25D/pam3CSK4 peptide co-loaded nanofiber sutures could potentially induce endogenous antimicrobial peptide production and reduce surgical site infections.
本研究旨在开发能够诱导内源性抗菌肽产生的基于纳米纤维的缝线。
我们使用同轴电纺沉积和滚动技术来制备含有 Pam3CSK4 肽和 25-羟维生素 D(25D)的缝线。
缝线的直径和机械性能可调节以满足美国药典的标准。25D 在 4 周内从纳米纤维缝线中持续释放。Pam3CSK4 肽也表现出初始突释,然后在 4 周内持续释放。与单独使用 25D 相比,25D 和 Pam3CSK4 肽的共递送增强了 U937 细胞和角质形成细胞中防御素抗菌肽的产生。此外,载有 25D/Pam3CSK4 肽的纳米纤维缝线对角质形成细胞、成纤维细胞以及单核细胞系 U937 和 HL-60 的增殖没有显著影响。
使用载有 25D/Pam3CSK4 肽的纳米纤维缝线可能会诱导内源性抗菌肽的产生,并减少手术部位感染。
