Electrospun gelatin/polycaprolactone (Gt/PCL) nanofibrous scaffolds loaded with graphene are novel nanomaterials with the uniquely strong property of electrical conductivity, which have been widely investigated for their potential applications in cardiovascular tissue engineering, including in bypass tracts for atrioventricular block. Electrospun Gt/PCL/graphene nanofibrous mats were successfully produced. Scanning electron micrography showed that the fibers with graphene were smooth and homogeneous. In vitro, to determine the biocompatibility of the scaffolds, hybrid scaffolds with different fractions of graphene were seeded with neonatal rat ventricular myocytes. In vivo, Gt/PCL scaffolds with different concentrations of graphene were implanted into rats for 4, 8 and 12 weeks. CCK-8 assays and histopathological staining (including DAPI, cTNT, and CX43) indicated that cells grew and survived well on the hybrid scaffolds if the mass fraction of graphene was lower than 0.5%. After implanting into rats for 4, 8 or 12 weeks, there was no gathering of inflammatory cells around the nanomaterials according to the HE staining results. The results indicate that Gt/PCL nanofibrous scaffolds loaded with graphene have favorable electrical conductivity and biological properties and may be suitable scaffolds for use in the treatment of atrioventricular block. These findings alleviate safety concerns and provide novel insights into the potential applications of Gt/PCL loaded with graphene, offering a solid foundation for comprehensive in vivo studies.
电纺明胶/聚己内酯(Gt/PCL)纳米纤维支架负载石墨烯是一种新型纳米材料,具有独特的导电性,已广泛应用于心血管组织工程,包括房室传导阻滞的旁路通道。成功制备了电纺 Gt/PCL/石墨烯纳米纤维垫。扫描电子显微镜显示,含有石墨烯的纤维光滑且均匀。体外,为了确定支架的生物相容性,用不同比例石墨烯的杂交支架接种新生大鼠心室肌细胞。体内,将不同浓度石墨烯的 Gt/PCL 支架植入大鼠体内 4、8 和 12 周。CCK-8 测定和组织病理学染色(包括 DAPI、cTNT 和 CX43)表明,如果石墨烯的质量分数低于 0.5%,细胞在杂交支架上生长和存活良好。植入大鼠体内 4、8 或 12 周后,根据 HE 染色结果,纳米材料周围没有聚集炎症细胞。结果表明,负载石墨烯的 Gt/PCL 纳米纤维支架具有良好的导电性和生物性能,可能是治疗房室传导阻滞的合适支架。这些发现减轻了安全性方面的担忧,并为负载石墨烯的 Gt/PCL 的潜在应用提供了新的见解,为全面的体内研究奠定了坚实的基础。
