Asymmetric fabrication and in vivo evaluation of the wound healing potency of electrospun biomimetic nanofibrous scaffolds based on collagen crosslinked modified-chitosan and graphene oxide quantum dot nanocomposites.
Journal of Materials Chemistry. B, Materials for Biology and Medicine 2023 September 22
Asymmetric scaffolds were developed through electrospinning by utilizing biocompatible materials for effective wound healing applications. First of all, the chitosan surface was modified with decanoyl chloride and crosslinked with collagen to synthesize collagen crosslinked modified-chitosan (CG-cross-CS- g -Dc). Then, the asymmetric scaffolds were fabricated through electrospinning, where the top layer was a monoaxial nanofiber of the PCL/graphene oxide quantum dot (GOQD) nanocomposite and the bottom layer was a coaxial nanofiber having PCL in the core and the CG-cross-CS- g -Dc/GOQD nanocomposite in the shell layer. The formation of monoaxial (∼130 ± 50 nm) and coaxial (∼320 ± 40 nm) nanofibers was confirmed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The presence of GOQDs contributed to antioxidant and antimicrobial efficacy. These scaffolds showed substantial antibacterial activity against the common wound pathogens Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus ( S. aureus ). The scaffolds exhibited excellent cytocompatibility (MTT assay) and anti-inflammatory behaviour as analysed via the cytokine assay and biochemical analysis. The in vivo wound healing potential of the nanofibrous scaffolds was assessed with full-thickness excisional wounds in a rat model. The scaffolds accelerated the re-epithelialization as well as the collagen deposition, thereby facilitating the wound healing process in a very short span of time (10 days). Both in vitro and in vivo analyses thus provide a compelling argument for the use of these scaffolds as therapeutic biomaterials and their suitability for application in rapid wound regeneration and repair.
