The cells and tissue in the human body are orderly and directionally arranged, and constructing an ideal biomimetic extracellular matrix is still a major problem to be solved in tissue engineering. In the field of the bioresorbable vascular grafts, the long-term functional prognosis requires that cells first migrate and grow along the physiological arrangement direction of the vessel itself. Moreover, the graft is required to promote the formation of neointima and the development of the vessel walls while ensuring that the whole repair process does not form a thrombus. In this study, poly (l-lactide-co-ε-caprolactone) (PLCL) shell layers and polyethylene oxide (PEO) core layers with different microstructures and loaded with sodium tanshinone IIA sulfonate (STS) were prepared by coaxial electrospinning. The mechanical properties proved that the fiber membranes had good mechanical support, higher than that of the human aorta, as well as great suture retention strengths. The hydrophilicity of the oriented-fiber membranes was greatly improved compared with that of the random-fiber membranes. Furthermore, we investigated the biocompatibility and hemocompatibility of different functional fiber membranes, and the results showed that the oriented-fiber membranes containing sodium tanshinone IIA sulfonate had an excellent antiplatelet adhesion effect compared to other fiber membranes. Cytological analysis confirmed that the functional fiber membranes were non-cytotoxic and had significant cell proliferation capacities. The oriented-fiber membranes induced cell growth along the orientation direction. Degradation tests showed that the pH variation range had little change, the material mass was gradually reduced, and the fiber morphology was slowly destroyed. Thus, results indicated the degradation rate of the oriented-fiber graft likely is suitable for the process of new tissue regeneration, while the random-fiber graft with a low degradation rate may cause the material to reside in the tissue for too long, which would impede new tissue reconstitution. In summary, the oriented-functional-fiber membranes possessing core-shell structures with sodium tanshinone IIA sulfonate/polyethylene oxide loading could be used as tissue engineering materials for applications such as vascular grafts with good prospects, and their clinical application potential will be further explored in future research.
人体中的细胞和组织呈有序且定向排列,构建理想的仿生细胞外基质仍是组织工程中有待解决的主要问题。在生物可吸收血管移植物领域,长期功能预后要求细胞首先沿血管自身的生理排列方向迁移和生长。此外,要求移植物促进新内膜形成和血管壁发育,同时确保整个修复过程不形成血栓。在本研究中,通过同轴静电纺丝制备了具有不同微观结构且负载丹参酮 IIA 磺酸钠(STS)的聚(L-丙交酯-共-ε-己内酯)(PLCL)壳层和聚环氧乙烷(PEO)芯层。力学性能证明纤维膜具有良好的力学支撑,高于人体主动脉,且具有很大的缝线保留强度。与无规纤维膜相比,取向纤维膜的亲水性大大提高。此外,我们研究了不同功能纤维膜的生物相容性和血液相容性,结果表明,与其他纤维膜相比,含丹参酮 IIA 磺酸钠的取向纤维膜具有优异的抗血小板粘附效果。细胞学分析证实功能纤维膜无细胞毒性且具有显著的细胞增殖能力。取向纤维膜诱导细胞沿取向方向生长。降解试验表明,pH 变化范围变化不大,材料质量逐渐降低,纤维形态缓慢破坏。因此,结果表明取向纤维移植物的降解速率可能适合新组织再生过程,而降解速率低的无规纤维移植物可能导致材料在组织中停留时间过长,这将阻碍新组织重构。总之,负载丹参酮 IIA 磺酸钠/聚环氧乙烷的具有核壳结构的取向功能纤维膜可作为组织工程材料用于血管移植物等应用,具有良好前景,其临床应用潜力将在未来研究中进一步探索。
