A Marine-Derived Anti-Inflammatory Scaffold for Accelerating Skin Repair in Diabetic Mice

Reconstructing the typical analogue of extracellular matrix (ECM) in engineered biomaterials is essential for promoting tissue repair.

description Reconstructing the typical analogue of extracellular matrix (ECM) in engineered biomaterials is essential for promoting tissue repair. Here, we report an ECM-mimetic scaffold that successfully accelerated wound healing through enhancing vascularization and regulating inflammation. We prepared an electrospun fiber comprising a brown alga-derived polysaccharide (BAP) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). The two polymers in concert exerted the function upon the application of PVA/BAP2 fiber in vivo; it started to reduce the inflammation and promote angiogenesis at the wound site. Our serial in vitro and in vivo tests validated the efficacy of PVA/BAP2 fiber. Particularly, PVA/BAP2 fiber accelerated the repair of a full-thickness skin wound in diabetic mice and induced optimal neo-tissue formation. Generally, our results suggest that, by mimicking the function of ECM, this fiber as an engineered biomaterial can effectively promote the healing efficiency of diabetic wounds. Our investigation may inspire the development of new, effective, and safer marine-derived scaffold for tissue regeneration.
